One of the things that my dad loved to do was garden. This is where I get my love for gardening and I hope that I am able to pass the same passion down to our children one day. They will know their Grandpa would have loved to teach them everything he knew about playing in the dirt!
I must share with you what I have growing in our backyard this season: tomatoes, sugar snap peas, shelling peas, green beans, onions, carrots, cucumbers, pickle cucumbers (which I hope to learn how to can), summer squash, zucchini, lettuce, and spinach. Each year I hope to add something new, but this year I went a little CrAzY! I added grapes, blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. Why not, right? I also decided to transplant my strawberry patch and I am proud to say the transplant went great. Everything is growing and doing great! I still have so much to learn, but as the years go on I will sharpen my skills. I love coming home each night and tending to my little home garden. There is something about gardening that makes me feel accomplished!
