After school, my sister and I helped our mom in the garden. We grew potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes - not for fun, but to eat.

I do the gardening.

I grew up at my grandmother's house and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid.

I'm really into gardening.

My parents had a gardener when I was growing up, and he and I would dig in the dirt together - my mom and dad were definitely not digging with me! When I was 5, he helped me plant some corn in our backyard, and I remember how fascinating it was to watch it grow. Little did I know that 50 years later I'd be growing corn in a different way.

I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

My parents owned a plants nursery. We all grew up growing things and planting things and selling things, and I also managed landscape crews.

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

I grow my own vegetables and herbs. I like being able to tell people that the lunch I'm serving started out as a seed in my yard.

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.
