* I've been a home gardener over thirty+ years. I have grown vegetables, flowers, container plantings, and water plants including a small pond and bog.
* I completed OSU
Master Gardener program in 2000 in Grants Pass, OR. and remained an active member until we moved to Astoria three years later.
* I am the owner and CEO of Virtual Seeds for the past eleven years.
* I have written numerous short "how-to" guides on different aspects of gardening from how to start seeds to growing garlic, and more. All my articles are free and available on Virtual Seeds. I believe gardening is about learning and sharing!
* I am a co-owner and webmaster of 2 Gals Hydroponics.
I love to talk "gardening" and will do my best to help you with your hydroponic and soil growing needs.
