Garden Fresh!

[rubah]

Do any of you keep gardens? Do your parents?

I am eating the first cucumber of the season and it is so delicious.

Do you prefer storebought food? WHY?

[Zeldy]

I have a garden, but the only thing we grow is weeds.

My parents did use to keep a garden, but they never had the time to actually enjoy it. It was only kept alive by some of our staff, so my parents sold it.

[Levian]

I don't like plants.

i don't manage it, but mom harvests aloe vera, lemon grass, cherry-bomb pepper, and other Asian greens (mint). all i do is pour dirty fish water onto the roses and bushes - for some beneficial cause. my mom would've loved Harvest Moon if only she gave video-games a try...

My dad keeps a garden that I have to help plant and pick. I really don't eat enough vegetables to care that much about the difference between garden fresh and storebought. I am a heathen, I know

[Meat Puppet]

I've done a bit of gardening here and there, but never anything outdoors.

I grew a sunflower when I was five, and it's seeds tasted good! (yes, I did eat them)

My mom has a beautiful backyard full of plants. I love it. The only food she has though are grapes and the vine isn't doing very well.

I hope to have a garden when I have a house. I've only had one plant before though... a Venus fly trap. It didn't live very long. I think it got too much sun.

We have a lot of flowers and icky plants and trees that don't go together at all, but only a few fruit trees. We used to have tomatoes but not anymore. I miss them. They were awesome. We also used to have strawberries but screw strawberries.

Daddy keeps talking about growing a garden like my great grandparents used to, but that was fairly large and took up two growing patches. I think he should think smaller for now and do a couple things at first. And of course, the dallies (dahlias) I want back.

Also, I don't really care if it's from the garden, but I do prefer fresh food to non-fresh food.

[StarChild]

My mom does. When we moved into our house the lady that lived here before kept one too, and for the longest time we kept having onions from her garden that kept popping up. Didn't have to buy onions for awhile ^__^

[Rusty]

I don't have a vegetable garden. But I do love gardening. My house is small though and we have no room for a garden at all, so I grow and keep my favourite plants in pots.

When I was younger my parents had a garden for a few years. We had potatoes, cucummbers, turnips, green and yellow beens, peas, tomatoes, corn, pumpkins (once), onions and carrots. The best was after we helped weed or water them we were allowed to pull a fresh carrot out of the garden and rinse it in the brook. Man those were awesome carrots. My dad used to give my sister a quarter or something for every potato bug she picked.

home grown veggies always taste the best because they aren't processed before being shipped. Plus, the "hard" work needed to grow them is not that bad.
