Adventures in gardening

[emlykate]

I planted tomatoes today. Total of 6 plants, 3 different varieties in containers on the deck. I'm hoping that I get at least a little bit of success... but as this is adventures in gardening, we'll just have to wait and see. It was fun to sit on the ground and play in the dirt though. Good to remember Grammy telling me how I'm supposed to loosen the root ball, and mound the dirt up around the stalk of the plant.... and how there's no such thing as too much water the first day (as long as you don't float the dirt away). Of course, hard because I'm pretty sure that Grammy couldn't talk me through tomato planting now... and that was such a huge part of her life, her garden. She's lost so much in these past few months. Not going to get teary eyed about it today, because today was a good day, and Grammy is happy, and well, even if she doesn't remember so much anymore.

In other news, Manda and I went to the public market today. Good way to spend an early Saturday morning, and good time spent with friends.

"Grammy" sounds like a wonderful woman. In years to come you'll look back and find little things like this and you'll drift off with memories, smiles and even tears sometimes ..... all good, all needed and all very personal.

Thank you for sharing Em
