Vegetable Garden Rememberance
Hi. I was recently looking at something on the internet, not long ago, about growing vegetable gardens, and the how too's of such, and when to harvest, and what to do about the scraps. ( Is this a boring topic ? I'm sorry. It was REALLY interesting for me ) ! I wished I saved where I found that information!

Anyway, What some people said on that video, made me think about my youth, and being with my Grandfather.

When I was young, my family always had a garden, after we moved to a sub urban town. Every year, we planted potato's, carrots, [ beets-(yuck) ] !... pees, onions, parsnips, peppers, kale, squashes, and even strawberries! We had a garden, somewhat because of what my grandfather did, when he grew up, and passed that good thing on to our family. It was hard work, weeding, and other things, but it was worth it, in MANY ways.

Sorry for going off from the main topic a bit. In this video I watched, when they harvested, I noticed that their machinery and people couldn't get everything! The people in the video didn't seem bothered by that.

I first thought, ""What a waste of food!" Then I remembered my grandfather doing something similar, in his own garden. He was picking and weeding young food stuffs, and throwing some over his shoulder. I said to him, "Why throw those away, when there are so many poor that need food !" He looked at me and smiled, and said something like, "Then let the poor come and get them!"

I didn't understand, at the time.

My grandfather was born in 1919, grew up in a different time, and understood things differently than today about many things, including caring for the poor (my grandfather was not poor, but in the 1930's and during WW11, he learned much! I eventually understood that it was okay to do what he did, because he was, in essence, feeding the poor.

Today, I wish I had a garden of my own.

Being curious and asking questions is a good thing!

 I no longer have a garden do to an illness a while back but I loved my garden. I even grew brussel sprouts and eggplant. I planted the eggplant in with the roses!
I had tomatoes and carrots( no beets) lots of goodies plus some heirloom strawberries from a friend.
