Victory Garden Host, and Gentleman gardener, Jim Wilson

 

passed away at the age of 85 in his new home in Columbia, Missouri.
He was an incredible gardener, very gentle and sweet and
knowledgable.  I have a few of his books. I consider it a priviledge
to have seen him on Victory Gardens on PBS those ten years he was
their host and later when they had him come do a special.  He wrote 14
books on gardening, and has a last book coming out at the end of this
year.  He'll be missed. But he had a good long life and gardened to
the end.

Hello Maddie.  Good to know you are still here.  Just to let you know that my
little
fig forest of 9 in pots is producing a bumper crop of figs.  Ingrid
