Gardening is one of those hobbies that sounds good to me until I actually have to take care of and water the plants everyday. Never mind having to wait months for something to grow. Patience is definitely not my strong point. So every year I am amazed when Grandpa George, in the middle of the back row below, who is 90-plus-years-old has a garden that could feed a small army.

Every year he says he is not going to plant a garden, and every year he does, and then it produces such a plentiful harvest. We are so lucky to have such a green thumb in the family!
