And Bonus she’s a Rockstar Millennial! Tell us a little about yourself. Since you mention me being a millennial, we all have side gigs and my day time gig is I live in Alma, Michigan, and I teach developmental psychology at the college here. I have just enough free time to start this side business of  Brown Bread Mozzie https://www.brownbreadmozzie.com/ (organic mosquito control) I was just looking for something to help us all not have so many mosquito bites. Tell me about your first gardening experience? I grew up in Ohio, central Ohio.  My first gardening experience, I was a child who thought I was an adult, a Teenager. https://www.ffa.org/home () I was in https://www.ffa.org/home (Future Farmers of America (FFA)) I chose tomato gardening, and my dad tilled up like a 1/4 acre of our yard in town.  I planted 32 tomato plants but they all died! How did they die? On purpose like it was part of an experiment or that was an accident? Idk if I want to call it and accident I just didn’t water them. Well I can totally understand that. There are days in the middle of the summer or I won’t see the garden for 5 days. I just get busy like that, I can understand that. I know you have to make time to water. Do you just want to tell listeners real quick is https://www.ffa.org/about/what-is-ffa (FFA Future Farmers of America?) it used to stand for https://www.ffa.org/about/what-is-ffa (Future Farmer’s of America) we were told many times it doesn’t stand for that anymore.

So you took it in high school? Yeah I took it in high school all four years I lived in town. I lived in rural Ohio.  everyone took it it was worthwhile It started my interest in gardening and really understanding where my food came from. I guess I grew up outside of NY City so we didn’t have, who knows it could be there and I just down’t know about it. I was interested in gardening back then. I don’t think all schools offer it. So tell us about the Brown Bread Mozzie. I was reading it’s called the Brown Bread Mozzie because there’s brown bread in the bottom. I would love to do that! I always try to be cute and funny and come up with a name Brown Bread means cockney (london ) slang.
