I have been gardening all my life, when I was around ten I can remember the fun I had watching things grow. Then as a teenager I had better things to do and hated the weeding my parents wanted me to do. Later I was farming and raising my own family so our garden was economical, I can not say fun, but it was easy. I had all the equipment so it was just a Minni farm spot. I would pull the equipment through it just as I did the other fields. The garden was always loaded with good stuff for our table. We ate very well, tomato omelets were my favorite breakfast at the time.
One year I tried my luck at a truck garden, two acres of produce. This was a great experiance for my family, we spent hours together working the feild, and marketing the vegitables. This was a lot of work and it was fun but one year was enough to satisfy that itch.
Like many, my wife and I made an economic decision to sell the farm and change directions about a decade ago. Now our garden has taken on a different aspect, it is where Mary (my other half) and I go to relax.
We enjoy the garden, the time spent in it and I still enjoy watching things grow, you never get the farm out of you. Our little garden produces enough to keep us in veggies most of the year. We freeze or can the produce we cannot eat fresh, this is not as hard as some make it out to be and we enjoy the process.
Gardening for us is a joy, it is one of life's simple pleasures, well worth sharing with you:)
Thanks For Stopping by.
