Wow, that's good! My mother just had some potted plants and then when they finally bought a house later on, some perennial ornamentals went into the ground...not a lot. But I know that my grandparents had gardens....I just wasn't around them. Anyone who has their family history researched far enough back usually knows just about every single family had farms or large gardens (or both) back in the old days. It was interesting to look at lists of what they owned..livestock and farming equipment and such.
