Pulling the lavendar & remembering my Grandmother

When I was a kid I used to sit on the porch with my grandmother and pull weeds. In my mind I was cooking. I'd pull all the weeds and strip them of their leaves and berries. I'd put them in a pot and stir it up.  It was hot outside, much like it is now.

Grandma lived in the city and visiting her was a great joy for me.

Now, I live in the city and as I harvest the lavendar, I remember Grandma. And this is the reason I keep gardening.

And that is the reason, urban farming is hip.
