I loved this course and I learned a lot from it. I am hoping to use some of the stuff I have learned for my own garden. Rick Stone is very easy to understand and he gets right to the point and he is quick to respond and he responds in detail if you have a hard time understanding something. This is the best course on gardening I have taken.
