The GWG #3 prompt is to describe your garden right now and since it doesn’t exist, and all that is in the area is mud and snow, I’m going to move on to #4: write about your garden mentor or muse.
The earliest gardener influence I had was my father. He passed on a love of growing; not so much knowledge, though I did get his 1984 Sunset Western Garden Book, which was a huge source of information, even has old as it was, in Oregon. It’s not much use in Alberta’s climate, but I still love the book.
Facebook is definitely run by city people who have no farmers in their lives. Yes, I’m a little cranky after seeing many groups just go POOF overnight.
Anyway, the internet has been my source of inspiration – it might be safe to say the whole of the world’s gardeners and farmers, who write their information online, are my mentors. That’s pretty neat, eh? The WWW isn’t just for cat gifs and doggo rating!
