Mom Crane had the biggest, most scrumptious garden every year. We spent hours picking beans, cukes, tomatoes and whining even more. That paled in comparison to the time she invested pulling weeds, watering and pruning her plot to look like a pro's property.
Never appreciating that home grown flavor until it was gone, we are fighting our way back to the good ole days of our childhood. Jim is the best gardener of the family with over one half acre of produce supplying enough to feed his growning numbers. They even bottle a year's worth to boot. Julie takes second place with plants she starts as seedlings. She shares her abundance with family and friends.
My 4 x 12 raised bed in it's second year is performing well. It is a delight to pick the first fruits of the season. Thank you goes out to the ever dependable sun, water and seeds for making it all possible.
