Same here, I was the last of 8 children and we had 13 acres or various fruit and nut trees that we all helped harvest and can and dry for future consumption. The garden was gigantic and I looked at it as slave labor vs playing. which was way more fun but now I can appreciate all of it. It amazes me how all my younger relatives just love my produce and smoked goodies and that they expect it picked and delivered vs coming by and picking it themselves! The new generation ???lolWe had a half acre garden growing up. I hated it. All the kids in town got to eat vegetables from a can or a jar. We had to eat ours from a garden that we had to weed and care for.
Also, I was an idiot.
That’s a wheelbarrow of happiness right there.
