Grandma's Gardens






















This is my second week up in Rimersburg, PA, the town my parents are both from and much of my dad's side of the family still lives. It's a small town with rolling hills, farms and forest. My grandma has had huge gardens and orchards her whole life growing berries, apples, pears, grapes, flowers and nearly every vegetable you can think of. Today my Uncle Alan showed me the four (four!) different types of onions they have planted.















































peas so good we usually eat them raw. 























husband in the garden.

























garlic going to seed.















































friend in the raspberry patch.
































strawberry fields forever.






















husband hunting for strawberries.















































tomatoes.















































mom and I made net covers for the blueberry plants.






















I can't remember how long it's been since I've been so relaxed. Every day consists of coffee with the parents and my Uncle Alan, red & black raspberry picking, rides through the forest on the golf cart, cooking (usually treats from the garden), mushrooming (more on that soon), thrift store shopping and reading. L O V E. I'm so happy.

also when i read "husband in the garden" i thought to myself "oh, i didn't know there was a plant called husband."
then i got it.
