Garden

Every summer I travel to Bend, Oregon to visit my Grandma at her horse ranch with my mom, cousin, aunt and uncle. Mostly each summer has been relatively similar to one another, same general activities and outings. But this summer, I decided to go a month earlier with the initiative to alter the generic course that my summers usually follow; this summer I decided to create an organic garden. Seeing as I had no real experience with gardening I was not sure if it would even happen or if I would enjoy it afterwards. I am happy to say I was quite right and quite wrong, my garden came to life and I loved every single moment of it. Since working in my garden and eating vegetables from it, I firmly believe that everyone should either have a garden or at least work in one at some point in their life to experience giving life to something and being able to produce your own food.
