She grows things you have never heard of.

Grown by someone who's been doing this her whole life.

Charlotte grew up in Arkansas on a tomato farm. When she moved in with me, the first thing she did was build a garden, and she grew things I'd never even heard of. A luffa, for one. I didn't know those weren't sea sponges.

She studied under Ray Ballard at the now-retired Ballard's Nursery in Hurricane, Utah. His family had farmed this region for generations, and she learned the real tricks for growing organic produce in a climate that doesn't make it easy.

We moved to Hildale, fell in love with the town and the people, got married, and bought a home we painted yellow. Now we've got the property to grow to our heart's content, and we're building a greenhouse so we can do even more of it.
