I remember when I was 5 years old when our family was sitting down at the dinner table deciding what should be included in the garden. We had to remember that we couldn't plant the entire garden selection because different plants need different living conditions. That day we started the cucumber seeds, we put the seeds in a damp towel and waited for them to germinate. In a few days we started the tomatoes, we started these plants differently, we planted them into a cup filled with dirt and soaked them with water.
We watched the seeds slowly morph into beautiful plants needing more and more tender loving care. They say if the more you talk to plants the better they thrive and thriving is what life is all about.
As the seeds grow into plants we started to treat them differently, slowly giving them more and more sun light.
As the sun starts to warm the ground up, we tend to the ground. Roto-tilling takes patience and hard work, just like raising a family.
Around mothers day, you plant this plants and put walls of water.
As the heat of the summer comes you take down this protective layer, exposing them to the harmful elements.
You notice the insects turning the flowers into fruits.
As the seasons start to change from the dog days into the cool days of fall, the vegetables have ripened.
Biting into a tomato explodes your taste buds, sending a jolt of flavor into your mouth.
