Rural/Farm Life

In our vegetable garden when I was a kid. We had blue corn and rainbow corn ,heirloom tomatoes 3 kinds of squash , cukes , carrots , onions, eggplant, broccoli , chard, kale ,

My father would bitch me out when we weeded the garden because I would wolf down shitloads of the little yellow pear shaped tomatoes like popcorn.

We had spinach too . we had a huge garden when I was growing up and our yard was peppered with peach trees , 2 kinds of cherry, apples .

My father spliced 2 saplings together one of a golden delicious tree to a red delicious tree so one half had yellow apples the other side was red. It looked cool. It was there a long long time until lightning struck it it never was the same after that.

We had blackberries, raspberries , strawberries and gooseberries. We had a white grape vine and a vine of incredibly delicious Concord grapes which I feasted on every summer.

My mom planted all sorts of flowers funky tulips, green snapdragons irises poppies 4 o'clocks and a catnip patch for the cats.

We had various exotic trees. We had big shady maple trees a mimosa , pink dogwoods ,tulip trees a sassafrass tree .

We had neon pink azaleas lining our driveway and behind them was bright orange tiger lilies. We had primroses We had two lilac bushes that filled the yard with a wonderful scent.

We had 2 huge weeping cherry trees in our front yard that were covered in tons of pink flowers in the spring. Until they blew apart and covered the ground with pink confetti

Our yard was epic and the whole neighborhood appreciated it.
