I'd like to see your mum's garden.<br />I remember my mum's garden when I was little, with the rows of carrots interspersed with radishes, because they would be ready to pull first, so leaving room for the carrots to mature. None of us ate radishes, so they neighbours would accept them.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-87124966935712270352013-07-01T21:40:36.953-07:002013-07-01T21:40:36.953-07:00Thank you for bringing a smile to my faceThank you for bringing a smile to my faceJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-7699919101165202172013-07-01T21:40:07.625-07:002013-07-01T21:40:07.625-07:00Love this.

The description of your parent's garden and your mum's relationship to all things growing made me feel so cheery. It reminded me of my mum and her love of the earth and growing things. I miss her still, even after 37 years. So glad for you that you still enjoy the lazy days of summer with your folks. :-)Tezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968504091315232161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-87954417288938358432013-07-01T21:01:21.528-07:002013-07-01T21:01:21.528-07:00you just have to like any one that says good'u...you just have to like any one that says good'unjoehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-26840305304048072672013-07-01T20:29:54.947-07:002013-07-01T20:29:54.947-07:00Love this, good 'un.Love this, good 'un.tiffany rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105832290440620053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-49986509348967706142013-07-01T20:18:56.087-07:002013-07-01T20:18:56.087-07:00Ha - I read my daily Pearl post because I always r...Ha - I read my daily Pearl post because I always read my daily Pearl post - and had to laugh because all the other blogs I am reading today are garden ones!!jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-31063694445493356982013-07-01T19:59:18.098-07:002013-07-01T19:59:18.098-07:00Endearing.
