4. Eating the crop!

Gardening is my wife's passion. I had a job as a teenager where one of my responsibilities was to tend to large vegetable and flower gardens. That was enough for me.

We did build a small greenhouse (from a kit) at the beginning of the pandemic and the results have been crazy. She's growing cucumbers, green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, several types of tomatoes and broccoli. It's like Jurassic Park in there!

Her other garden is on our deck and she's growing several types of lettuce, more tomatoes (cherry-sized) and a bunch of herbs and spices.

She loves to play in her gardens. I love to eat the bounty!
