About G.J.

...because admitting you have a problem is the first step...

Jones n. An addiction or craving

I’m a gardening addict -I admit it.

I love all things gardening, and I’ve learned and grown a lot over the years here in Zone, recently upgraded from 5.

Fortunately gardening can be a good addiction. I’ve become a Penn State Master Gardener and have been growing my own fruit, vegetables and herbs now for more than 25 years, including the many long days running a restaurant and bakery with my husband (Mandolin Jones).
I was a licensed food processor during that time and we published our first cookbook as well.

I have also had a few gardening articles published, and was thrilled this year to be accepted into the Garden Writers Association. Another wonderful opportunity arose to write for the Horticulture Magazine’s website. You can find those posts here.

Our restaurant days are long gone, but we retain our love of food -especially homegrown.
Funny, we are both still working in some way with food, I guess its in the blood.

The best thing I have found is that above all else, gardening doesn’t have to be complicated. I will share what I know and be there if you have questions.

Blogging is just another fun way for me to share what I love; I enjoy the interactive nature of social networking.

Am I trying to get others addicted? Well, hmm…we’ll see.

I would love to learn how to home grow a vegtable garden but have no idea how to start I live in florida so the climate is hot in the summer

Hi Nancy, read a bit here but also check out Best Garden Blogs here: http://bestgardenblogs.com/
They list garden blogs by zone and area of expertise- you can find other Fla. gardeners there.
Also check out Vegetable Gardening on FB, gardeners from all over the world go there to ask/anwser questions.
Of course your local cooperative extension can give you tons of info too.
Then, when you’ve grow great veggies, come back and use the recipes here under “Eat it” or in my recipe box here: http://www.gardeningjones.com/recipe_box.htm
If ever I can help, just let me know.
Good luck and Happy Gardening!
