My Love of Gardening

On this Father's Day, I thought about how my love of gardening originated from my dad.  I've written about this before here, here and here. Growing up, I remember my dad always had a garden.  He loves to grow flowers, vegetables and fruit.  I realize now how similar we are!  In May, he gave me this jar of seeds he saved from the Mao Qwa Squash that he grew last year. I told him that I didn't want to take all of his seeds, but he said he had another jar equally as big.  LOL.  I took the seeds, (even though I'm not a fan of the squash) but I decided to grow a few of these plants in the garden, for my dad.  His yard is really shady, so he doesn't have a lot of room to grow edibles.  Hopefully the plants will produce lots of squash for him.  Hope you all had a great Father's day!

  1. It's funny because all my life growing up my mom had gardens and grew food, canned pickels etc.... I never really gave it an interest until my husband and I bought our own property and now it seems I am just like my mother!

    Isn't it funny how that works!
