Today, on the KTRS Inside Out Show, as the "special agent in charge bringing their listeners great plants", I featured the native perennial Tradescantia, better know as Spiderwort!
I will post tomorrow a plant description which will include this sweetie's many features and care details but right now I would like to answer the question that more than a few listeners have recently asked: Why do you do this? (the show in particular but I get questions about the website and blog as well)
It is a fair question that I ask myself at times when I am feeling faint from lack of oxygen from “speed speaking”. This faint feeling is a repeat side effect following the few minutes I volunteer my time for the show for the “Plant of the Week” segment. I hope and pray that I am successful in being a positive horticulture influence for the show’s many listeners, even if at times I sound maybe too serious or get caught off guard and take up time laughing at these guys.
These two characters, Jim McMillian and John Shea, hosts of the show work very hard to bring the best of their industries to their listeners. I try to do the same because it is a faith calling for me.
I give this information away for free, like the show and this blog because it brings me peace and pleasure. The evidence of God and his promises grows in the garden for me. I am called to share what He has shown me. I have found the Bible and gardening has been a blessing for me and brought me closer to God. I feel he has called me to share this gift of gardening as a personal ministry. I pray daily for gardens, their care takers and all the people involved with helping create blessed opportunities to interface with God’s creations.
Thank you for visiting my website and blog-God bless you!
