Gardening

She grew up in the 1920's and was one of 11 children, so huge gardens were a survival necessity for them that stayed with her forever. She always grew a garden and I was always her assistant with that and with the flowers. Guess that's why they are so important to me. It's the tradition, my mom and connecting to the earth in a beneficial way. I dont to the tilling, hubby does that due to my bad back, but once the ground is prepared, I'm all in. I just love it, love seeing my seeds grow, then the buds come and the reward developes - yum! This year we are making a bigger garden, trying several different varieties of beans, think mom would be proud.
