I write to help people become better gardeners.  And to share stories of feeling torn between two worlds -- the rural, sustance farm world I grew up in and the creative, just, hazy world I want.

I try to cut through pretense, marketing misinformation, and myths. But to keep and share the magic and mystery I find in nature.

Mostly, I write how I talk. That makes editors and Grammarly wince but gets my points, my science, my fascination, and my passion across to folks.
