<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I love, love, LOVE fresh garden produce! But I really don’t have time to grow a large garden. That confession is really difficult for me. You see, my grandma was a committed gardener. My mom is an excellent gardener and I’m pretty mediocre! The previous two generations relied on garden produce to feed their families, but I have a really good supermarket just a short drive away. (well, my grocery store is 30 miles away, but realistically, that is a half hour drive and that is no big deal!)
\n<\/p>\n

My grandma and mom both canned and froze vegetables and fed their family from the garden every\u00a0 night in the summer. My favorites are homegrown tomatoes–the beefsteak variety are what I crave– and I love green beans, fresh beets and lettuce and spinach. Other things are just because they are easy.<\/p>\n

I don’t really waste my time on growing things that I can get in my grocery store in good quality. You know, there are a lot of things I could grow, but I choose to use my time differently. The grocery store has good quality, fresh produce and I trust them to provide nutritious, safe food.\u00a0 Enough said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

My latest brainstorm is to use containers to\u00a0create a raised garden. I have used these old water tanks for years and I love them! I can fit three beefsteak tomato plants in this\u00a0old tank.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Another tank holds green beans, beets and I planted\u00a0 a few onions in the center. I usually don’t grow onions–they are good and inexpensive in the store. But I needed something growing in the middle of this 8-foot tank to keep the weeds down!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

The Kansas wind is causing some problems with this container of green peppers. I grow peppers only because they go well with tomatoes–and often when I’m snacking on a fresh still-warm-from-the-sun tomato, a green pepper really compliments the taste!<\/p>\n

So these days, I start my morning with a cup of coffee in hand, watering my containers and pulling a weed or two, while listening to the purple martins calling and chattering to each other. That is a post in itself–my grandma loved purple martins!<\/a> I do too, and as I enjoy my garden and the birds in the morning in the spring, I think of my grandma and the heritage she bestowed on us–to love digging in the dirt, growing delicious vegetables and being proud of what we produce!<\/p>\n
