What a lovely thought…
My grandpa gardening memories: in the front garden roses and pinks (carnations) in regimental formation – beautiful, fragrant and perfect. In the back garden – veggies. I remember always picking radish, and carrot to add to my grandmother’s “chopped salad” (long before “chopped” became fashionable)…
I can’t easily have a vegetable garden (I have cats who love the ground too much ), but I just planted pinks and roses, because my grandpa would appreciate them…I miss him, his wisdom and hugs very much.

Its never too late to start a garden. You can grow herbs anytime and you can start a fall crop of tomatoes. Just check your zone. Gardening is both good for you pocketbook wise and good for your mental health. I started a “community” garden in my apartment complex. We have tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers. I also grow herbs and roses and quite a few other things. I have an extremely busy life and find it relaxes me to “putter” in my garden. Give it a shot. You will enjoy it. I promise.

I remember cursing a little when I was a child helping in the garden. I always thought there were more interesting things to do like building a tree house than garden. I’m happy that my mother insisted, as I now love to grow my own vegetables.
