It's funny the way kids go; you just can't predict it. Though mine do appreciate the produce I get to them, especially my "city boy". Just can't see either of them picking up a hoe any time soon!nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-4476056050554385732012-06-17T05:40:25.622-07:002012-06-17T05:40:25.622-07:00I got her through another blog.

I don't think my children are going to ever garden or raise their own meat like I do but you never know :)becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-11200956969772640002012-06-17T04:42:48.958-07:002012-06-17T04:42:48.958-07:00Why thank you, Nancy!

And yes, those old OGandF magazines were great, and surprisingly hold up well if you read the articles today.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-53787953535931225052012-06-16T18:11:50.280-07:002012-06-16T18:11:50.280-07:00Hi Nutmeg, I like the name of your blog!

That is totally why we were able to retire in our fifties, so what I resented slightly when I was young, I really appreciate now! Our kids, like yours, did not inherit the trait, though our younger son is a "starving artist" so he doesn't have much choice, lol! I wish I'd kept at gardening like you did over the years!nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-35352708766609253892012-06-16T16:14:26.648-07:002012-06-16T16:14:26.648-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-88697823395204062802012-06-16T13:44:29.890-07:002012-06-16T13:44:29.890-07:00I've gardened all of my adult life, from the a...I've gardened all of my adult life, from the age of 19 until now, at 73. I've had tiny gardens and half acre gardens and pots on a patio, but I've always found a way to grow something. We, too, were lucky to retire at a relatively young age, my husband being 59 and I 55. Frugality was always the norm for me. Not by necessity, but by desire. Unfortunately, it was not a trait my children inherited! I am happy to say may youngest daughter, at age 39, got the gardening bug this year. She successfully grew four tomato plants I gave her last year, and this year has expanded to a 4' x 20' real garden! My oldest son has also planted a small plot of tomatoes, peppers and squash. Hey, it's a beginning, if a rather late one!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
