When I Started Gardening

I am linda ruth. Some people were born to sing. Some people were born to be Doctors or Lawyers. I was born to garden!

I have photos of me at the age of two picking grass. I not only picked it, I studied it and generously shared it with my 9mo old sister. I liked to pull it and study the dark green blade and how it gradually changed color to its white root. The root is rather sweet tasting. I loved finding four leaf clovers too.

I can remember a summer that my Mother planted moss roses. I would dissect them. The seeds are so tiny. I must have been 4 or 5 years old.

My first garden was at age 7. My father bought seeds and gave my a small area of earth in the back yard. I watched it grow each day and here I am today many (many) years later watching my gardens grow.
