The love of gardening runs deep in my veins. There was nothing better than riding my bike over to my nana’s house to see how her garden was growing. She grew everything, even popcorn! She taught me the joys of the dirt, seeds, and the satisfaction of harvesting what she grew. Come fall, she would can whatever was left. My favorite was homemade grape jelly from the vines in her yard (and that comes into play in my kitchen page).
In addition to vegetable gardening, I learn the art of coloring up the landscape thanks to my papa. His Italian roots brought perfection to every inch of the yard. Being able to step out your door , snip a flower or two and create a beautiful bouquet for the counter top or the guest bedroom is extremely satisfying. I hope I can inspire you, teach you, and brighten up your world to color.
