My Humble Beginning

Born in Sioux City, Iowa, spent the first four years on my grandparents farm in southeast South Dakota and north central Iowa.  My roots must be in the land, although my few attempts at gardening through the years have been disastrous.  I won’t even mention lawn care, which is all the more embarrassing when my wife, Linda, reminds me how her father always had the most famous lawn and garden in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Anyway, this is “mini-me” on the farm in South Dakota.
