At my grandmother's funeral I heard my sister tell a pretty inspiring story that made me realize just how awesome my grandmother was.
When she was in the nursing home and was having tomatoes. She loved it so much that she took the seeds from the tomato she was eating and planted it.
A month or two later, it had grown into a beautiful tomato plant. She really was an awesome gardener. Even when when she was 88 and growing senile. I should take a leaf from her book and see if I can pull that off :chin:

My grandfather was a gardener too. Planting seeds and gardening the old-fashioned way: with a hoe, a hat, and a hoard of land.
Makes me realize how little we actually care about gardening in this day and age, despite our "green" initiatives.

My grandfather was never much of the gardening type, but he did like to help out our family and friends. Usually with cars and bikes and stuff.
The neighbors next to my grandmother's house though, they are great gardener's. Their stuff always taste good.

Wow
My grandfather was a farmer, so he did have that green thumb. Before he died, he planted tomatoes in the front yard of their house and they grew perfectly after he died, even though my grandmother couldn't really take good care of them at the time. In fact, my grandmother took it upon herself to keep taking care of the plants my grandfather always planted. I thought it was kind of sweet of her to do that, even though she had a hard time even taking care of herself.

Gardening is almost like having a pet, you gotta take good care for it and feed it.

Don't forget the weeding. It's a lot harder when you have a large garden full of things. Takes a good week or so to weed the whole damn thing with an army of 8 kids.
Just about every summer when I was growing up man :/
Here Roy, go and weed 4 rows of corn. 4 hours later. Okay, now weed the row of carrots.
Weeding carrots was a pain. You have to go slowly so as not to pick the tiny carrot plants
