Some of my earliest memories are helping my grandfather pull carrots on their small farm (which is no longer). My mother has kept a small garden my entire life, always with tomatoes. I'm trying to hook my niece early on the joy of watching plants grow and get her past her hesitance over getting dirty (such a girl!)
