About mbvirtue
A former childhood gardener, I now have DIRT to play in full time! I'm usually on GG first thing in the morning before work...I sell auto paint all over the county, usually put in 100 miles a day just back-and-forth. Gardening is my escape from being on the road 8 hours a day. If it's really hot, I'm back here for a couple in the evening.
