For the past 15 years I have been writing blogs and newsletters about gardening in Virginia. I have loved sharing what I know about being a home gardener after operating Christie’s Fine Gardening for 30 years.

Last year we went out to Colorado in late August to visit my son and his family. I was looking at his vegetable garden which was full, green and organic. All of a sudden he bent over and with each hand pulled out 2 hunks of something green with a white flower. “I hate bindweed! Look at this, it’s everywhere!” he yelled!
