Grass And Soil
Founder & Editor
My earliest memories of gardening come from sneaking peeks at my grandfather’s overgrown tomato vines in West Virginia, where he swore by the ‘let-it-go’ method. I still grow tomatoes today, though I’ve since learned that sometimes a little pruning goes a long way.
This site is my way of paying forward the lessons I’ve gathered—from soil science to seed saving—so others can find joy in the dirt without the overwhelm.
