I looked into it, but then decided not to do it because it was a way for TPTB to make money on "certification." After talking with the lady in charge, I figured out I knew way more about stuff than she did and it would be a waste of money.
I've been gardening since I was about 7 years old and was taught by my Dad, who believed in nourishing the Earth and using nature to make everything better. Ruth Stout increased my education when I got older and I use the techniques she taught daily.
That being said>>>>>>it is SOOOO HOT this year, I don't know if anything will really do very well, although so far things are going well.
