Here we go!

        I sometimes wonder how I let myself  get talked into these crazy ideas.  I guess I’m considered old school.  I still prefer my land line over my cell phone,  I don’t pay attention to caller I.D. & I  send cards & letters via the good old postal service rather than texting.  So when a couple of my  friends suggested I start a blog  for my business I immediately dismissed it to that place in my brain that is somewhere between ‘not going to happen’ & ‘maybe someday’.   But like most ideas it began to grow &  then somehow take on a life of its own! I’ve often wondered over the years where all the plants I start end up.    Did some pretty little Cosmo brighten a brides bouquet or a sweet  viola bring a smile to someones face?  What kind of fantastic, super, yummy dish did that Brandywine tomato make?   Will this peony become a favorite in someones garden?  These are all things I’ve pondered as I planted.   I became sold on the idea of a blog as a way for me to finally connect with the gardeners that take the plants I started home.  I thought if I’m curious about where these plants go & the gardeners who love them, then maybe they’re wondering about where it all begins.  So, here I am jumping in with both feet.  I hope in my ramblings you are encouraged & inspired.
