About the Author
My grandfather taught me how to grow tomatoes and cucumbers and I have been gardening for the last 40 years. He helped me ignite a passion. My goal is to teach people how to have a better garden, become more self-sufficient, and simply share what I have learned over the decades. A garden wants to give and all we have to do is learn how to help it along. Gardening takes work but it is not complicated. My book, blogs and videos are designed to help you get the information you need so you can enjoy and share your gardens. If it wasn't for my grandfather taking the time to show me how to plant vegetables, I would have missed out on something I truly love. This is what I want to pass on to others. In 2011 I started The Rusted Garden by putting gardening videos on YouTube. 9 years later, I have over 1000 garden videos and have enjoyed meeting gardener's from around the globe. Good luck in your gardens!
