One year ago, I started writing for and about the horticulture industry. That’s one full trip around the sun, one full growing season — really nothing compared to the experience of the people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with over the last 12 months. I am still a newbie. Happily, I am at my best when I am learning new things, and this industry has presented a wealth of learning opportunities.

The term "growing media" doesn't mean the same thing to every grower.

Photo by Dan Poel, d3photography.com By Patrick Coleman D3sports.comAs I recall, the phone rang at 5:18 in the morning.

By all accounts, Sinclair Lewis was an outsider in his home town. Perhaps because of that, he took comfort in reading as much as he could. Lewis was born on Feb. 7, 1885, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.

A year later, Lewis’ father married Isabel Warner, who became an important influence in his life.
