What individual has influenced your gardening interest the most? How?
The previous owners of our home were gardeners and I didn't realize how much I would enjoy it over 20 years ago. We purchased the home with 6" on snow on the ground and it wasn't until Spring when I realized all of the work that needed to be done. Previous owners were in their 80's. Taking it a little at a time I have watched my garden develop over 20 years and had many failures along with success. -
