I'm not a gardener, but love fresh fruits and veggies. Good thing relatives share.

Great post Kathy, I have a garden every year. I love doing it & the produce is fresh off the vine>>

I have grown a red chestnut garlic for the last 15 years. I have two raised beds. I use a section of lattice panellaid flat in my garden to plant and grow my garlic bulbs. I always grow three types of tomatoes, peppers, and will alternate each year with radishes, carrots, sweet potatoes, lettuce. I grow chocolate mint in a pot, and I have lavender that comes back every year through out my entire garden. I have bumble bees, butterflies, and praying mantis that visit and live there all summer. I also have a bird bath in there to accommodate the birds. My little slice of heaven. My friend came over to take a picture she wants to submit it to Better Homes and Garden, lol.

Thank you for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post and your childhood gardening memories.

Have a lovely weekend.

Judy

I did the repost, but this year, it is too hot and dry, and I am too busy for a garden myself. Sigh

Hopefully next year, it is a lot of work to plant and keep everything watered. >>

I missed a couple of consecutive years a while ago, but used the time to keep the beds naturally fertilized and continue to turn the soil.

I hope you have a great summer.
