My father, Carl August Vesper, is surely the source of my green thumb. I introduce him here because so many of my plant stories will tie to him. Dad was a forester by education but for many years owned and ran Twin View Nursery - a greenhouse, landscaping and nursery business. During my high school & college years I worked in the greenhouses and learned a lot about plants, owning a business, and what it means to work hard. As busy as my father was, he always found time to give tractor rides to his grandchildren when they visited. This is an old picture but gives you a sense of him and the place.
