The man with the *mega* green thumb.

You'd never know by a look at his rugged, manly exterior but my Dad is a rock star when it comes to plants, gardens and flowers. Seriously. He grows crazy vegetables and flowers each year- much more than he personally needs so he can share them with others. Sooo... it was natural that when I dropped by the other night for a visit that we ventured 'out back' to check out this year's goods. Amazing- seriously amazing. As a nice cap to the evening, I caught this cute picture of him with his marigolds. And yes, I've termed them marigolds on steriods because NOBODY grows those flowers quite that big!
