Retirement brings on not only the horticulture bug for Patricia , but also the opportunity to grow many varieties of begonia .
My name is Patricia Mickelson , and I live in Carpinteria , a low town near near Santa Barbara , California . I have been garden since I impress here 20 twelvemonth ago , but it was not until I retired about seven year ago that I start out the “ gardening bug . ” The mild clime here on the West Coast provide me to grow a kind of begonia in my backyard almost all year round .
