Marlon Webb loves to garden. He and his wife Donna grow just about everything you’d expect from a home garden. Marlon freely admits that being able to work outside is one of his God-given blessings, and for him, seeing things grow is one of the best and most rewarding things in life. Here are some of his plantings as of mid-March.

Asparagus crowns are sending up their shoots
Potatoes breaking ground
Marlon’s best garden help is his patrol dog, Trix, the copperhead killer
