My Credentials
I come from a long line of gardeners, farmers and ranchers. My family has done it all--from raising sheep and cattle to operating a popular cannery to selling produce (fruit and vegetables). If you can grow it in Texas, Tennessee or Kentucky...then it's likely at least one of my kin has tried it. As for me, I've been more of a suburban landscape gal until recently...when I accepted my lot in life. (More about me here)
My garden/landscape is in USDA Hardiness Zone 8B and American Horticultural Society's Heat Zone 9.
