What a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing this story. I love the insight into the whole backstory of your gardening journey!
My father is 95.75 years old now and sadly is in a long-term care home. I have pictures of him as a teen in the turnip patch with his sister Winnie, He was a large beef farmer and avid gardener! He could grow anything and did it grow and produce!!!! It was what we ate daily with our meat and in our salads. It was not uncommon to have corn on the cob, new potatoes and carrots with a side of yellow beans or green beans. No meat that supper or lunch. But you were so full and full of plant energy you didn't miss it. I was in the garden when I was a very young child and still am at 52. I write down and am trying to get a book wrote called…"Waste Not! Want Not!" A very old fashioned saying also. I just love watching your videos and now am addicted to the live chats. Keep up the videos Gardener Scott! Thank you from Colorado Lows Target area lol SW of Thunder Bay, ON. Canada

Gardener Scott how about reading Howards, book on certain days. There was a president of a by gone era who did fire side chats. Peace brother.
I’m so glad this popped up today. I retired in June 2022 after teaching for 30 years. I’ve been looking for a book like this. Thank you so much. You are just like your friend Howard. I love how you tie in gardening with life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us, Gardener Scott!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I love this kind of book-this kind of life advise. So I’ll be off to order these books. Thanks!
Be kind, it is a daily practice.
