I remember helping my grandmother in her garden. I especially remember shelling butter beans. It was summer and always hot and humid outside, but I loved being with her and listening to her and my mom and the other ladies "talk". It is a great childhood memory.

I remember my mom going away one summer to take a course. My father and I were supposed to be taking care of her garden. A few days before she returned, we took a look and realized that her flowers were all fried (it had been a very hot and dry July). We watered them repeatedly but couldn't save them... I hope my gardening's improved since then...

I joined the burpee e-mail list. Even when I was a very little girl I loved to garden. The summer that I was three I harvested my carrots and washed them in the bathtub when my carrots were only about 1/2 inch long. They were just the right size for my dolly.

ReplyDeleteI always have loved gardening, it was laways family fun for all of us, Mom, and the 6 of us kids would work out in the garden weeding, harvesting, and having a great time. The harvesting always led to canning time. We all learned a lot working in the garden over the years.

When I was young we had a neighbor who we all called Grandma, I used to go down to Grandma's each afternoon to see if she needed any help with anything and also because it was nice to go there and get to be an "only" child for a few minutes. I have 5 siblings at home.
ReplyDeleteGrandma had a beautiful garden and I enjoyed helping her work in it. One day she introduced me to something new.. Rhubarb. I had never had it.. She taught me how to cut it off, take it in and wash it, cut it up and sprinkle it with sugar and then eat it.. hmmm it was different, I wasn't sure I liked it but I loved spending time at Grandma's..
She also taught me about Swiss Chard and I love it.

ReplyDeletewe used to have a huge garden and loved not having to really shop all summer long- our little scottie dog would go and pull the tomatoes off and make a pile- too bad he could not tell the difference between green and red tomatoes

entry 1 garden story
ReplyDeleteI remember eating so many tomatoes right out of the garden. I just hung around by the garden and ate and ate. Garden tomatoes are so much better than store bought of any kind.

entry 2 garden memory My husband's Mother, who is in heaven now .. She planted her gladiolias at the same time as her sweet corn. Every year almost right on my birthday, the flowers would be in full bloom. She brought me nearly all of them in a huge birthday bouquet, along with plenty of sweet corn, green beans, and cucumbers from her abundant garden. Keep these memories in my heart. I want our garden just like hers.

I can remember late winter each year, helping my grandfather turn the soil for the spring. The ground was still pretty hard then, so it was tough but I did it! We'd put coffee grinds, egg shells, carrot and potato peels and other garbage in there, too, and I could never understand why. Then, when all the plants finally grew - I got it. He had the BEST garden - gorgeous eggplants, tomatoes, the tallest most golden corn, the juiciest strawberries, green beans, peppers, cucumbers. Grandpa left us 25 years ago. I still miss all of that. #1

This spring my 3 year old helped me plant all our pots with pretty flowers we had picked out. A week later she came inside and yelled "Mommy I have some pretty flowers for you!". Yep she picked every single flower off!!! I'm happy to report that they have all grown new blooms and they have not been picked since.

ReplyDeleteI have always loved fresh peas. When I was little, my dad had a fairly large garden with rows and rows of peas. When he'd head out with his bucket to harvest, I'd go along to "help." I ate every single pea out of every single pod I picked, and there is photographic evidence that gets brought out regularly. To this day, though, I grow peas with the intent of eating them fresh in the garden.

ReplyDeleteThis year, I decided to build a raised bed for strawberries. I already have a large raised bed for my veggies. I planted 24 strawberry plants. My 3 year old son was picking them while they were still green and eating them while playing in the yard. I think we finally convinced him you have to wait until they are red. ha ha.

I have happy memories when I was a child helping my grandmother in her garden. I remember hat she loved Peas. We used to eat them in the garden right out of their pods.
