  • What is a garden myth you hear frequently which you know is untrue?
    That miracle gro works. It is merely an anchor for the plant.

    Should be banned.

    there are tooo many natural products. We don't need chemicals as the drive away the worms and microorganisms; good bacteria the soil needs.
  • And, what is the reality?
    Reality is what is true for you is true and when you take that away you have lost everything. Reality is what is in front of you and what two people can agree upon.
  • What is your favorite gardening outfit or costume?
    Jeans and Tee Shirt, Tennies and Baseball hat
  • What is the one question about gardening you would really like people to ask you?
    I would like people to ask me how to start a garden and will I help them with that.
  • And what's the answer?
    Of course.
  • Who is your own favorite gardening personality on TV, radio or in print? Why?
    I really dig Ed Begley's new all purpose spray so I guess it would be him. I don't watch tv except as a DVD monitor. But I wish Ed the best.

    Like a writer wants the reader to duplicate their intentions, I feel a gardener wants others to taste that life.
  • If you could grow only one plant, what would it be?
    potato
  • What plant have you tried to grow that has given you the most trouble? Or, what plant would you like to grow and can't, and why?
    I haven't run into any trouble. The good soil is the key.
    Using instant non fat milk instead of epsom salts in the tomato soil worked better though.

    early morning when the lighting is good.

    Red and Green
    the Purple and Yellow

    I like Lee's Garden. Next to that I like Descanso Gardens but I have not been to many gardens yet.
  • What individual has influenced your gardening interest the most? How?
    Lee O'Hara - just watch his dvd and you too will take him on as one of your opinion leaders. He is very kind and answers every question with no make wrong or know best attitude.

  • Favorite Quote
    (Lewis Gilbert, speaking of eco-systems) Through clitterfields of numbness and pain...over hills and dales of short-lived pleasure...through the metropolitan boulevards of seduction and disillusionment and finally finally finally  out out over the open, lush and barren lands of spiritual promise...out and over these myriad shifting landscapes to  soar over the abyss...and then to take the courage  to dive dive dive into the scary depths.... of Relationship.... of  the breath taking the prana down deeply into the lovelorn gut... into the sunray that exposes the raw shame that keeps the vulnerable communion interface stiff with fear...into the melting dissipative glorious scream of affirmation...into the challenge of remaining open to the Other in the rich loam of connexion with the Beloved...fearless hands feeling out holding places in the frostweathered cracks splitting the mountain that shame is....and wresting stoney handfuls of the stuff out of the hard sharp igneous cliff...

    And then there's the final surrender...a drunken transfusion of love and silence into a bloodstream irritated and irrigated by all the toxic shadow pathologies...and my heart leads me to this warm sunstrewn sweetness of naked self-acceptance...and only then and there is relationship really possible..
