I may not have ever posted this before but my Grandfather was a very active gardener, some of my earliest memories are in his garden and I have the pictures to prove it 🙂 though I would need to contact my Mom or my Sister to find the picture of me sitting on his knee looking at a cabbage about twice the size of me… It is a true story though. Digging potatoes, playing hide and seek under the tremendous mirliton vine. Those were good days, and I was about 3 or 4 maybe, ummm I am not going to say what year that was… Anyway! Good times.

Thank You
