freshly picked, delicious, and home-grown.
my mom has a great garden area at her place - she owns a double lot, and the house sits on one and the other lot is basically a field surrounded by trees and a pond. its an amazing place for a garden - so we decided we'd go in on a garden together this year. it was supposed to be a real group effort, but i think my mom did more than her fair share of work simply because she lives there. we've already got big plans for next year, though, having learned some lessons along the way - and with the kids being another year older, i'm hoping to pitch in more.
there's just nothing better than a counter full of fresh produce... seeing the literal fruits (or vegetables, in this case) of your labors. it sounds ridiculous and cliche, but its fulfilling; it makes you feel more at one with the earth around you. and hey, if you do it right, it saves you a few bucks, too, which never hurts.
