My experience with gardening is mostly regarding my mom's.
It felt so good during summer not to have to go to the groceries and eat our own organic cherry tomatoes.
I remember those late afternoons where she would prepare the ground/soil to offer a fresh start from the tomato seeds.
How amazing was it also to NOT USE HARMING products against insects but rather put plants between the plantations that would play this role (google that up for sure!)
It just brings so much good memories !!! :) Have fun gardening !
