In additional to having my neighbor help me in the garden this summer I’ve also rented/bartered {?} out the basement to a guy named Andy.
Andy is from Miami, Florida and is here for this years growing season to help me with my container gardens. Word on the street is he is a plant whisperer {seriously, he talks to them, people}, which is great because I can really use all the help I can get around here while I try to grow 2 tons of food this summer.
I asked him to write up a little description of himself for you all, so without further ado, meet Andy:
Hello fellow growers. I am honored to be coming to you live from…Mavis’s basement. Can you hear the cheers? I can! No wait, that is probably the dirt calling to me.
Real quick like, here’s a little about me: I love Pina-Coladas and getting caught in the rain…Ba, ba, so come with me and escape. Ha! Oh man, and I love a feel good tune. Seriously, though, I do love Pina-Coladas.
I have lived in Florida for the past 18 years. I strive for stress-free living. Nothing, and I mean nothing gets me down. Typically, I practice Yoga on the beach every morning, with my guru, Yolanda. Then, I pop home for a sponge bath and a little time with my plants. I am a self-proclaimed herbivore. My plants are my babies. I love each of them individually–and unconditionally. Out of respect, I am going to ask you to do the same.
Now that I’ve decided to trade in the sun and surf for one little summer in the Northwest, I am going to show you all how easy it is to grow an impromptu garden from just about anywhere.
Andy
