Chillin' In The Garden
While growing up our family lived out of the garden. If it didn't grow in our garden, we didn't eat it. Seriously, we didn't grow certain vegetables, so, for example, I didn't even know what brussel spouts, cauliflower, or brocolli was until I was a young adult!! Needless to say, when I grew up and got on my own, I didn't want anything to do with a garden.
Well, we all grow up, and remember the "good 'ol days", so this year I put in a small garden. I grew corn, tomatoes, straight neck squash, zuchinni, green beans, and peppers......all things from our garden while I was growing up.
Both of my parents are gone now, but my garden this year brought back some good memories......and good food. We gave away lots, and froze 25 bags of corn for this winter.
All year long I've been reading everyone's adventures in gardening on this website. I've enjoyed reading, and learning from others. My successful gardening experiment this year is in part due to all of the wonderful people on the website, and their advice to others.
I've included a couple of pictures of our garden. My wife is my model.....she's 5'8" so you can put the corn height into perspective.
Thanks for allowing me to relive some of my past, and learning from you.
