CHILD HOOD MEMORIES
One of my best memories of my mom is her gardening.  Growing up in the city, there was little space for nature. someone mom turned the backyard into a regular zoo and farm, allowing me to keep turtles and raise rabbits.  She would grow all sorts of vegetables in addition to the standard flowers and bush.  Asparagus, green bean, carrots, tomatoes, corn, even an attempt at pumpkin.   Long before organic growing existed, those rabbit dropping would be the fertilizer for the vegetables and instead of cooking them, she would push us to go out and “snack” on the output.  It was fantastic.
