Every winter, my mom started seeds for the vegetable garden. When spring came, my dad would till the garden and they'd get the plants in the ground. They always grew tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and eggplant, as well as other veggies. My mom made the best BLTs! 'Maters fresh from the garden, still warm from the sun!

They also had a lot of decorative plants, including my mom's peonies. They were ones she gave her mom.
