About

 

My earliest childhood memories are from when my family lived on a farm in upstate NY.  From that point on, I have been fascinated with plants.  My early understanding of botany became the foundation upon which I later learned other fields of science.  In medical school, residency, and fellowship, my passion for plants was temporarily neglected as my classmates and I tried to optimized every hour to become the best doctors possible.

 

Now that I have finally completed my medical training, the time demands haven’t seemed to slow down much.  However, I am working to find balance, and one of the best place for me to do that is in the garden.

 

In the process of transforming the landscape of our home, I created a website that was initially intended to be a personal reference for my gardening experiments and experiences.  To my delight, this website (TastyLandscape.com) has become a global forum for shared knowledge about growing plants for food.  Unless noted otherwise, the photos on this site are of the plants in my yard.
