I am a little weepy eyed right now knowing about both your parents, but love knowing you have such sweet memories of your flowers and garden to make it easier. My thoughts are with you and love knowing your gardens make you happy. Mine do too, I love to garden and plant flowers and watch things grow and bloom. Don't know what I'd do without it.

I remember telling my mother once that when I left to be on my own I was NOT going to live in a bird box like she did. Yes, she was not happy when I said that. I got married to a Southerner and he was raised on his families good old garden produce, but it took us many years to get out here in the country to raise a garden. The very first one was planted while we were putting in our basement. I remember my father-in-law walking through our corn and bragging about "what a fine patch of corn we had!" It was over his head and he was a tall man. Our children planted seeds, radishes and carrots, and they loved watching the seeds grow. They loved helping when it came time to dig the potatoes, and they loved picking strawberries. My family became spoiled with home made spaghetti sauce and our own potatoes. We always shared, because there was plenty of extras to go around. One year I filled every canning jar and freezer container I owned. If times got hard there was always something in the freezer or the pantry. Even if people don't have a garden space they can do container planting. Where there is a will, there is a way. I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your parents. I imagine when you worked among your flowers and in the yard there was a lot of prayers being whispered. <br />(((HUGS))) Susanne :)Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-91505848734188119882012-03-29T13:36:10.033-07:002012-03-29T13:36:10.033-07:00I'd love to see pics of your garden areas!

I usually can get potted plants to grow and I have a few out. However, we have concentrated so much on the interior of our home since we bought it about a year and a half ago (completely gutted the interior and started over) that we have not done that much outside. Maybe we will start on that this year!

We travel alot in our state to find new plants and have found some that I don't see for 5+ years after we already have them in our gardens. (in nurseries for this part of the state). Somehow they all seem to make it. My husband laughs as I never seem to go out there without my camera. Plants just amaze me!

When you come from the Midwest, it's easy to be a good gardener...in the South it takes real talent to make stuff grow so my hat's off to you Southern gardeners with red soil and rocks! LOL!<br />My favorite gardening book has always been The Victory Garden and I have 2 of them. One, about 30 years old or older and then I got the newer addition about 10 years ago. I grew up around stoic, hardworking people who worked their hands when things got tough.....there was no gossip or blaming and complaining....they just worked it right out of themselves and I try to do the same.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-6284025501697641682012-03-29T10:18:16.761-07:002012-03-29T10:18:16.761-07:00Interesting post.

I have a picture of us standing in front of it the last spring of his life and that bush was never more beautiful and bountiful. It has never bloomed to that amount of glory again. I always wondered why.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718454963887008065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-32666882400799379762012-03-29T09:45:11.027-07:002012-03-29T09:45:11.027-07:00I don't have a garden addiction, but my dad di...I don't have a garden addiction, but my dad did. He had the most beautiful yards, wherever he lived, and people used to drive by just to see his rose garden. He had an 11 acre peach orchard, and when the trees bloomed, it was a sight to behold. I wish I had inherited his love of gardening. He also died of cancer, much too young.<br />nancyrEchoes From the Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012454336216415478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-26972216209785835562012-03-29T09:21:06.907-07:002012-03-29T09:21:06.907-07:00Oh I too LOVE being outside in the gardens!!
