Words can't adequately express how much Jim Wilson meant to me and my mother when we watched the Victory Garden on PBS in the 1990s. What a wonderful soft-spoken horticulturist, a true Southern gentleman with a sense of humor about gardening. He passed away over the weekend at age 86. His role as an author, speaker and educator was a gift to gardeners of all ages.
