The Gardening Department is dedicated to Christine Brockman, who lived in Minneapolis, Minn.  She had an incredible green thumb and grew things that were not ‘supposed’ to grow in Minnesota.  The Minneapolis Tribune took many photographs of  Christine’s garden.

 The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig.”
~Texas Bix Bender

 Always try to grow in your garden some plant or plants out of
the ordinary, something your neighbors never attempted.  For
you can receive no greater flattery than to have a gardener of
equal intelligence stand before your plant and ask,
“What is that?”
~Richardson Wright
