NO ONE knew gardening better than Auntie Nell, Auntie Mae and Uncle Bud. Living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the growing season is always very short, but their garden always seemed as perfect and robust as any would find at EPCOT today. They were always particular where they bought their seeds and made sure they readied them for the soil long before it was time to plant.
They had a knack that is difficult to explain. I cannot remember anytime going to Minneapolis when the garden wasn't perfect. It was a perfect ORTHO garden, marigolds, hyacinths,etc.
They loved their garden and it showed. As I work my garden every day, I wonder why the gene pool stopped before it hit me!
