Recently I gave a presentation out at CDRI. Like writing
these columns I also really enjoy giving presentations. It is especially nice
to chat with all of the folks who are in attendance.
I had the opportunity to talk with one lady in attendance at
the workshop who told me how much she enjoys reading my columns. This always
tickles me to no end. During the conversation she mentioned that she wanted to
email me some questions, but was afraid that it would overburden me.
Hopefully during our conversation I hoped that I had eased
her mind on this and she would send me here questions.
A big reason why I write this column, do presentations, or
even give garden tours is to encourage gardeners of any skill level. I
encourage questions. I do not want to imply that I know all the answers,
because I don’t. In fact I really do not know all the questions.
Because I have been gardening since the 4th
grade, I have been exposed to a lot of different garden surprises. Sometimes
the questions sound familiar to one of my experiences and I can relate this to
the questioner, other times I need to research and try to find a probable
answer.
As is quite frequently said “the only dumb question is the
one not asked”, so please ask. Your question could very easily cause me to look
at doing somethings I do differently and most likely better.
Deb my wife frequently teases me that I would rather talk
about gardening than to garden. I derive a great amount of pleasure from both
of these exercises.
As I told this wonderful lady out at CDRI I have all the
time in the world for questions about gardening. I hope that anyone that has
been reluctant to pass on a question finally sits down and sends a few
electrodes my way. Shoot it doesn’t have to be a question, I love hearing about
fellow gardeners experiences. It is all good!!!
Happy gardening!!!!
