ABOUT ME
Thanks for stopping by!
As you can probably tell from the pictures above, I like plants. I also like food. Not only do I like food, I like it so much that I would probably die without it. And I’d be willing to bet that most people out there, on occasion, need food as well. Over the years, through my studies, personal experiences, and work, I’ve found myself increasingly captivated by and motivated to delve deeper into the amazing and complex nature of our food sources and the plants that contribute to them. I absolutely do not pretend to know everything about our food sources; however, I absolutely do pretend to know a little bit.
My love of plants and food started as a child. I was that kid who was always outside looking at bugs and trying to catch lizards and toads. We called it "toad-hunting." Don't worry; no toads were harmed in the making of this childhood. We practiced catch and release you might say. The neighbors definitely thought I was a weirdo though. Growing up, my family had a relatively large vegetable garden and in my eyes, there was no difference between what I saw in that garden and what I saw out by the creek or on a camping trip or anywhere else. It was just another area filled with living things, only this area created food seemingly out of nothing. And nothing has really changed except for the fact that nowadays I don't pick my nose (as often). Watching the plants grow, harvesting the vegetables with my own hands, carrying them into the kitchen, and helping my parents cook with them is what really got me interested in food as a child.
Little did I know, it was all a ruse to get me to eat my vegetables.
My dad learned about growing vegetables through trial and error and his own experiences and he taught me everything I knew when I was younger. They say experience is the best teacher. But I think the Texas A&M University Department of Horticultural Sciences is a better teacher. Sorry Dad. Driven by my fascination with food and plants and the countless biotic and abiotic factors with which plants interact, I went on to earn a bachelor of science in horticulture at Texas A&M University.
