Why is the tag line for this blog, “The Gardener’s First Stop”?
Because when you start gardening in the south the first reason you will want to quit is fire ant sting.
I want my blog to be the first website that you check when looking for information, suggestions, entertainment, encouragement, and camaraderie. Gardening is not for the faint of heart. Gardening exposes you to the cycle of life in all of its phases every day. In the garden you will observe beautiful and inspirational beginnings, a ripening fruit, a cotyledon with an empty seed coat on its tip. But also the desperation and death, the tomato riddled with stink bugs, frost destroyed begonia. It is an exhilarating roller coaster ride worth sharing.

Those stings hurt! “Forget working with my hands outside” you might think. What can I do? I don’t want to pour poison on my land.
