When I'm not busy hawking plants or library books, I enjoy spending time cooking and baking, puttering in the garden, vermicomposting, plant collecting and propagating, veggie gardening and learning what other avid gardeners are growing in their yards. I'm a gadget freak and computer geek, something that obviously skipped a generation because I've spent much of my life helping my elders with their newfangled cameras, computers, the internet, and password retrieval. Repeatedly. I might just be a saint.
