During my childhood in Kentucky, I lived on a farm. I was accustomed to growing things. My grandfather grew mostly tobacco. My Dad put in vegetable gardens over the years and I can remember that my favorite thing was to go out, with a salt shaker and pick a ripe tomato and eat it right there. Then I married a Landscape Architect. I learned about growing trees and shrubs and perennials. The home I live in is far away from the farm in Kentucky and the landscape is all the handiwork of my talented husband, but I have discovered that I love gardening. There is not much time for it right now, due to the demands of little ones, but I have added small things here and there. I see myself in the future with a big straw hat, happily planting and pruning and watching it all grow.
Pictured above are some of my favorite things that have grown here in our garden this year.
