My parents were great gardeners and had several gardens. It was a necessary for us to have produce to can for the winter months. Loved watching and participating in the process. Still today I yearn to get out and plant and harvest. It’s a love that never goes away.

Wonderful post. My mother was the one that taught my children so much about gardening. Now I am passing that love along to my grandchildren! Thank you for sharing your post on the Homestead Hop, as one of the co-hosts I will be featuring your post on Thursday. Hope you stop by this week! - Nancy ( Nancy On The Home Front )

In reply to Gina. Yes, tomorrow's snail mail will be delivering this late Father's Day sentiment to my daddy. He's far removed from the world of technology, so he'll be getting it a few days late. Since he never was one to rush, I don't think he'll mind.

I do hope you shared this with your daddy- likely one if the best gifts he will ever be given

In reply to Touring NH. It's true, when we as parents or grandparents just do what we love and allow the children to join in, that's when our passions truly influence them. Life lessons are best learned side-by-side, day-by-day.

It’s a wondrous thing to inspire someone with a love that will last a lifetime. I doubt your Dad even realized how much he was influencing her. He was doing what he enjoyed and what came natural to him. And what great memories that created for you as well.
