I', at least a thried generation gardener.
My maternal Grandmother lived to 103 and was still tending beautiful flowers until they finally needed car . She was 94. She and Grandaddy turned a giant tennis court into a vegetable garden. They lived in Albany, Texas and I loved going there for the summer.
On my paternal side, the same thing: flowers and vegetables and even plum trees. I loved those plums and plum jam is still my favorite. I did not like the Texas sized horn worms that also liked the maters and "POP" would chase us with them.
My parents grew flowers but no veggies.Sweet memories!
