It’s tough to brainstorm for the Garden issue when you haven’t had a garden in years, but it›s not that hard when you love to eat things from the garden. I went on a run and the weather was fantastic, and by the time I got back home I felt inspired to plant a garden – even if it›s just in containers. And maybe I›ll finally repaint my front doors with the paint I bought months ago. I am a continuous work in progress.

I googled famous gardeners and found quite a list, none of which I knew. This actually pleased me because I was happy to have some new reading material. I love people who are wildly passionate about anything.
