What plants were at your childhood home? (And how many do you have now at your homes?). Rose beds, rhubarb patch, grape arbor. Apple and Pear trees, forsythias, lilacs, peonys, daffodils, lilies of the valley, hyacinths, scarlet runner beans, clematis, and a huge vegetable garden ....
Currently, I just have forsythias and Lilacs.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...


I have lilac and forsythia and a fire bush. They all got haircuts last weekend. Always had lots of perennials, my mom always has to have petunias, geraniums, rose moss, and impatiens for annuals.
When my dad was alive, he always had lots of sweet William and other woods flowers, daisies, and peonies.
And of course we always have wild greens cuz you can eat those!
I remember picking pears and apples when I was a kid and feeding them to the horses.
Growing up on a farm has good memories, but a farm is a lot of work. No telling how much stress our ancestors were under when setting up our farms. Nowadays it's even worse because small farms can't hope to ever compete with the huge industrial farms and all the new trade regulations. And the flooding! Omg this year and last destroyed some small Farmers in my area. My property is on high ground, but still my Creek flash flooded and now I no longer have easy access to my fields . Had to lease them to someone with better equipment.
