Isn't it funny how some of the things we did as children with parents or grandparents, and vowed never to do when we grew up, are exactly the things we do, or in your case, yearn to do now? <br /><br />The house I live in now is in a forest, so I can't garden like I used to. I do plant bulbs for a colorful springtime, but I do miss those homegrown tomatoes!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, Dawn!<br /><br />Blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-11762455845076297132011-10-16T10:38:16.638-07:002011-10-16T10:38:16.638-07:00I grew up out in the country, the grandchild of a ...I grew up out in the country, the grandchild of a farmer. My grandparents lived next door to us, so not only did we help my Grandfather with his tobacco fields, we also had vegetable gardens to tend each year. Huge ones. As a child, I vowed to never garden when I grew up, because it was serious hard work! As an adult, that vow changed and I find myself yearning for the experience of a home with enough land to plant a small, manageable garden. Alas, I am currently in a townhouse with no land to till. I have to content myself with container gardening on my patio. It gives me tomatoes each year, but I do hope, someday, to have that home and land to grow more. Full circle...eventually we all make that journey! Lovely post Martha! <br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-47040683615565665002011-10-16T09:53:30.016-07:002011-10-16T09:53:30.016-07:00Thanks, everyone, for stopping by today!
