I have always loved growing things.  From a young age, I grew potted plants in my bedroom and learned to help them grow, often by creating elaborate ways to set up grow lights in my dark bedroom. Upon adulthood, I continued experimenting with sprouting various seeds and growing a vast number of houseplants within my home. Moving to the country in my mid twenties finally gave me the space to really delve into what I could grow and move my plant addiction outdoors. I became a familiar face at local greenhouses and I would often bring home plants that I had no clue where they would go yet. My husband often humored me as he would find greenhouse receipts and even plants hidden (or not yet introduced formally) in various places around the yard or home.
