I remember her crawling between the plants (I had taken companion planting very seriously so there really weren't rows in most of the garden). Now she was a little giant, standing, smiling at everything, loving it. She would reach into the earth and hold up a pungeant handful and grin. As she grew up, everyone she was close to was a gardener. My mom and dad had her out in their community garden plot every year--we have many photos of her holding up the harvest and peeking among the sunflower leaves, working. Her dad put in a garden, making it a huge part of his lifestyle, and there she was out with him, in the rows. She went to a grade school where gardening was a class. The school she graduates from this year interviewed a bunch of us parents and did some more research. There will be an organic garden next year, and the beginnings of an orchard. My surprised daughter says she is jealous, and I guess she will have one more piece of delight when she returns to rendez-vous with old friends.
