DEDICATION

To God Be the Glory

Much love and thanks to Mom and Dad. You taught me to appreciate life and the beauty of the earth for its ability to bring forth life. Thanks also to my husband and children for your love, support, patience, and help. Abundant hugs, Wylecia you are a real big sister. In spite of your own colossal project, you were right there with me through mine. Thanks and more thanks to the members of Arverne Church of God. Your prayers and encouragement were just what I needed. Thanks to you, also, Suraj. You helped me keep the garden growing, even when there was no time.

INTRODUCTION

I attribute my love for growing to my father. Many Saturdays while growing up, we watched as he worked. I cannot say that I enjoyed gardening back then; there were too many bugs and that Carolina sun was definitely a scorcher. I would much rather have been inside in an air-conditioned room reading a good book. Saturday afternoon in the yard was not fun.

Today, I value time spent outdoors. I get great satisfaction from growing my own fruits and vegetables and cultivating my own flowers. Now it is my children who wonder what is so exciting about seeing the first tulip buds burst through the winter-hardened ground or why I must make multiple rounds of our yard each day to see what new thing is growing. And they definitely do not understand how I can keep company with the mosquitoes. Perhaps one day they too will discover how invigorating, yet relaxing, the gardening experience can be.
