I also enjoy a well tended vegetable garden. Planted with care and designed to produce a plentiful supply of fresh produce. I have grown sweet peas, I know what they taste like fresh off the vine - they don't travel well, sorry Birdseye, frozen is close but not the same as fresh. I know what a tomato tastes like, still warm from the afternoon sun. Tomatoes should never be refrigerated, it changes the taste in ways that can not be unchanged. Sadly most Americans don't know what a fresh tomato tastes like these days.
Every place I have lived since I was 20 years old, I have found the local gardens and made time for walks among the plants. I hope I always will.
Where do you like to wander and wonder?
ever been to longwood gardens? https://longwoodgardens.org
ReplyDeleteyou can get lost for days there!
Adding that to the list, thanks
DeleteA long lonely road in the woods will do it for me; or a quiet beach or meadow.
ReplyDeleteBeaches. Definitely beaches and shore areas.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I do adore gardens and don't go to them as I should. I also adore beaches, forests and established old neighborhood streets.
ReplyDeleteI also love walking parks and gardens. We don't have any I find especially exciting within walking distance now. So, I satisfy myself with walking the beach.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I have seen that house in a movie? Have I?
ReplyDeleteJohn, it is the hot house at George Washington's Mt Vernon Estate.
DeleteAnywhere with you, My Sweet!
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteI love gardens. Both flower and vegetable. Always a delight.
