I've never written a blog before, but it IS 2017, and it's time to move forward into the world of technology.

 

Not much to do in the garden in August, so I'll ramble a bit.  That's what you do in a blog, right?

 

My earliest experience in horticulture was a part time job in Mr. McGee's greenhouses.  I learned a lot about planting, watering, and weeding.  But mostly I dead headed geraniums.  I love them!  To this day, 47 years later, the smell of geraniums takes me back to that little place on Tidewater Drive in Norfolk, Virginia.

 

Mr. McGee was a bit crusty, dirt everywhere of course, but he taught me many valuable things.

 

He said, In the world of Horticulture, if you're not moving forward, you're moving backward, because there's no such thing as standing still.

 

I guess that applies to many areas of life.  So here I go:  moving forward!!
