Oh dear, your stories sound just like mine, Grandma started me out in gardening at age 4.5 yrs old. So I have been gardening exactly 70 yrs now, and still enjoy it. I grow fruit trees but mainly succulents , but progressed to recently to succulents, 30 yrs ago. But now I've really got serious about the plants the last 13 years, and study every night. I've enjoyed many new friends, and volunteer at the Huntington Gardens doing what, growing succulents. My first visit there was when I was 4.5 year old and I remember driving up the stone lined driveway in my aunts model A. I got to ride in the rumble seat, no seat belt of course. I also had no one to talk to about plants. I was the only child that I knew had had a veggie garden, and flower garden. I didn't know there where clubs that I could have belonged. We didn't have email or forums.
Would you believe my maiden name is Gartner (English translatiion Gardner)
