I really truly enjoy gardening!! I mean it's my Peace, my center, my religion if you will. Being able to take a seed and put it in the earth and watch it materialize into something I can eat feels like the dopest shit ever!! And then being able to take that thing and feed it to my family and friends makes me feel like I have a super power... Everybody says "Girl, you got a serious green thumb!" I just say I get it from my Pop-Pop!! Growing up my grandfather would grow tomatoes and greens. I would shadow my grandfather.. If he was cutting the grass I was running behind, if he was working on the car.. I was laying under it with him. So naturally I picked up a few things! One of them being gardening! I'm not entirely sure when the love of it happened. Sometimes we do things that were being done around us without even realizing. Like for instance, I always have at least one plant. Never was really sure why I was attracted to them but I was. Then I'd start trying to grow tomatoes.. still no clue why I wanted to do this but I'd do it anyway. It's only in these last few years I've realized my ass been mimicking my parents!!
