I have been growing vegetables since I was a boy. When I was about 17 I was the only one of five children living at home. My parents were ill and I took over the vegetable garden and I have had one ever since.
How my son discovered vegetables was from growing them in the garden.
I've got a little vegetable patch in my garden. I moved from a city apartment into a house this year and needed something to do outside football.
It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.
Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that.
We have a well and a garden. I crawl around in the mud and grow great vegetables.
I just planted the family vegetables yesterday. You name it, I grow it.
There is nothing that is comparable to it, as satisfactory or as thrilling, as gathering the vegetables one has grown.
We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.
You rarely get satisfaction sitting in an easy chair. If you work in a garden on the other hand, and it yields beautiful tomatoes, that's a good feeling.
I grow my own vegetables and herbs. I like being able to tell people that the lunch I'm serving started out as a seed in my yard.
Good luck with your asparagus.
After school, my sister and I helped our mom in the garden. We grew potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes - not for fun, but to eat.
I've realized that I really like spending time in the countryside and having a garden.
