nice tree....looks like it's loaded with peaches.....My parents had a love of gardening that lasted as long as they lived...The last few years of their lives they were still raising veggies in their own garden and flowders all around the property.....Believe it or not my Dad was frail enough that he couldn't even handle the tiller by himself and my Mother would hold on to his belt and walk behind him to keep him steady on his feet...My Daddy had me helping in the garden one time ...He was making the row for beans and I was planting behind him.....His one admonishment as he handed me a coffee can full of bean seed was...Don't spill the beans...and of course I did...but my real first gardening experience came with my Mother..she gave me a package of poppy seed and helped me make a bed to plant them in and I have never ever seen red poppies that were as pretty as mine...and I have rarely had a year go buy since then that I didn't plant something until just a few years ago and I took a couple of years off because I was doing the breast cancer thing and just didn't have the energy but I'm back to it now and loving every minute of it...

My Daddy's hat is in the picture...now I want you all to know that the young lady wearing the had is not me...she just happend to be standing on my desk so I used her as a model...I maynot have mentioned that I play with dolls as well as gardening...
