Of all the places in my life, one of my favorite places to be is in my garden. It’s a not so guilty pleasure that has flourished over the years, and each year I find new and interesting ways to get my hands dirty there. For me, there’s no better way to start the day than to head out back with coffee cup in hand to see how my latest crop is doing.

Over the years, I’ve drawn inspiration from many places … and that’s inspired me to try my hand at everything from organic vegetables to English roses.  Watching the transformation and growth of each has brought me tremendous joy.

How about you — what sort of seeds are you planting?
