my garden







I've never been into gardening. I grew up with parents who both enjoyed tooting around clipping things, planting things, picking things, and raising chickens and ducks. My mom was proud of her collection of over 100 varieties of roses. We even had a vegetable garden and loads of fruit (some are still there. Cherimoya, apples, grapes, plums, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, avocadoes, mangoes, etc) My mom used to drag me to nurseries to buy plants all the time and I hated every minute of it! But today I visited (the house I grew up in for the majority of my childhood) and took some random photos in our garden. Things have changed...the chickens are gone...a lot of the roses are gone...but some beautiful plants are still there! It really peaked my interest in gardening someday when I have a place to do it! :*)
