I remember when I was a kid my dad would take me to his allotment all day with him in the hot summer heat while he puttied his greenhouse and I went behind him scraping it all out to play with
Then again with my granddad he would bring home all these veg for my nana with all the muck still on, I think the only thing my nana bought was sugar meat and gravy my granddad lived off the lad.
Then my step dad went on to grow some veg in his back garden when I was about 19, I was the only one who ate it like but it was nice and he was so over the moon with what he had grew.
I got into gardening about 4 year ago but didn't grow anything at first just pottered about tidying things up etc but now I find myself getting excited over flowers or new veg I didn't know existed (my family has always been a potato, carrots and cauli kind of lot). I get disappointed when my seedlings fail, and get excited when its a dry day and I can get out in the garden.
What do you reckon is it in the blood or something learned?
