Victory Garden Host, and Gentleman gardener, Jim Wilson

[madgardener]

passed away at the age of 85 in his new home in Columbia, Missouri. He was an incredible gardener, very gentle and sweet and knowledgable. I have a few of his books. I consider it a priviledge to have seen him on Victory Gardens on PBS those ten years he was their host and later when they had him come do a special. He wrote 14 books on gardening, and has a last book coming out at the end of this year. He'll be missed. But he had a good long life and gardened to the end.

Hello Maddie. Good to know you are still here. Just to let you know that my little fig forest of 9 in pots is producing a bumper crop of figs.
