My 13-year-old sister Casey hasn’t experienced it yet. She thinks it will be a “fun project.”
I thought the same thing when I was about her age. What could be better than having our own fresh vegetables to choose from when we get bored and hungry?
I agree with her there. I am excited for the fall and going out to the garden and taking my pick of the large selection of fresh produce.
The sunflowers always look great, too.
But, this is one situation where the joy is not in the journey.
My grandfather was a farmer all of his life. A stroke about 15 years ago made it impossible for him to keep up the farm or do the physical labor that was needed to maintain even a small garden.
This still drives him crazy...
