Question

My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the back of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year he even tried pumpkins. The pumpkins did turn out well.

As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after the garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My grandfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fence and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even higher. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me.

The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Every year as soon as the tomato bloomed, I would ask my grandfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “ Not yet.”

I would ask the next week, “Can we pick them yet?”

He would answer, “Not yet.”

Finally , I would be sure that they were ripe. When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “ Can we pick them now?”

He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think the garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessing with those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would give some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.

As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My grandfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could always see the pride on his face when everything was complete.
