Finally it's here!

The "it" I'm referring to is the new college course for Landscaping and Gardening! I've been so excited about it that I've already completed two modules and am working on the third!

The coolest thing happened. As I was reading about starting annuals from seed, I realized that it was all very familiar. My Dad and Mom did this when I was a kid. They started flat after flat of marigolds, petunias, salvia, etc. and when the seed had germinated we had to transplant them. All the steps I read about were already imbedded in my tiny brain from those greenhouse memories. When I realized that I was so familiar with this and that Dad was the intelligent one, I gave him a call and said "Dad, how'd you get to be so smart?" He just laughed and then we talked about old times in the greenhouse. We used to use a maching called a shredder to make the soil fine and then we mixed it with sand, vermiculite and perlite. Some fancy words for kinda styrofoam additives! We had a great long talk about it.
