Garden

Miscellaneous Musing

Current mood: hopeful

I started some seeds yesterday and today. You know, tomato, melon, and peepper seeds. That kind. I am in a green mood today , it seems.. When I was a kid in the 40's my folks grew the Victory garden to help feed us. It was a good idea based on need at the homefront. Our troops needed what was produced to support the war effort.(WII for you youngsters who may have forgot some History). That dates me! But, anyway, I hated that garden because I had to weed a share of it and these weeds fought very well as they always do. We did get a lot of good stuff out of that patch, both fresh and preserved. It was work for everyone but it was good work.As to my planting, I have always liked fresh produce and this stuff is the freshest. I am not growing it as a Survivalist but on my retirement fixed income it may be a different story in a few years. I am at a stage in life when I can enjoy the gardening process and if I get a bumper crop maybe I will sell some of it and then I can contribute to the trickle up ecomomical program that I believe in so much.
