While growing up, I watched my grandfathers plant large beautiful gardens. They took great care of them and had awesome fruits and vegetables. In the last couple of years, I have tried to grow a couple of tomato plants but I just didn't have much luck. So this year, I committed myself to planting a real garden. I just feel I learned a lot from watching my grandfathers care for their gardens as well as knowing that you actually grew what you were eating. I want Gabbie to understand that. Soooo this year we planted a garden box full of 4 tomato plants, 2 watermelon plants, 2 cucumber plants, 2 pepper plants and I zuchini plant. In pots I have a strawberry plant and cilantro. And I have been shocked that all of them are growing!!! I am so proud and I am hoping my grandfathers are looking down and smiling acknowledging that I am making some progress:) Even better for me is I love watching Gabbie follow me around as I water the garden. I used to do that with my grandfather and realize just how much that means to the adult who is spending time with their loved one.
