Title: Introduction
Post by: Jeff Whitcomb on January 12, 2012, 05:47:33 AM

Greetings Group, I live out in East Texas, in Wood county. I have been gardening for only a couple of years. I took the Master Gardener class and learned quite a bit about a lot of things. Now is time to put them to use. I work with another person who has a CSA in Dallas. I am trying to grow for two reasons. The first is I am quickly approaching the age of
retirement and the second is I am hoping to morph into an opportunity to make a little income on the side. This is not a solicitation under any circumstances. Eating well is the main thing for me. I am learning about soil and how to build it so my efforts are not in vain. I took a couple of courses at NTTC in ag and they helped lead me in the right direction.
Being a Master Gardener brings with it the responsibility of helping others. We are an extension of Agri-Life and my county agent is very helpful.

I am here to learn and give back as I can. I have helped a few folks start their own garden and it is very rewarding to see them bear fruit.  Jeff
