If Only

I come from a long line of gardeners. Now granted my ancestors did so out of need, but still.....my great-grandmother was way before her time. She was drinking green tea in the 70's and taking extra vitamins. She had two gardens besides flowerbeds. They drank organic milk from the cows they raised and ate the rabbits that they grew. Everything that I am reading about what is good for us is what she did. Her daughter, my grandmother also had a garden and raised chickens. I look back on what I remember and think it is too bad that I didn't develop my own gardening interest while they were still alive. All that information lost. So here I am following in their footsteps, but having to reinvent my own wheel.
