I saw two of my Master Gardener friends at the Barnstable Harvest Fair yesterday, one of whom, Inez Narbis, was my teacher a couple of years ago.
\nInez is an amazing woman: partially paralyzed in a horseback riding accident years ago, she nonetheless maintains a demonstration garden at the Fairgrounds, while keeping up with her full-time job and other County Extension volunteer work.
\nI see Inez maybe 3-4 times a year at various events, and she’s always kind enough to give me a big hello.<\/p>
\nYesterday, she asked how my garden turned out this year. I hated to admit the truth, that I hadn’t watered enough in the dry summer months, and my perennials have suffered as a result.
