I enjoying gardening. We always had a garden ever since I was a kid. Always enjoyed watching the plants grow and then harvesting the yummy food. Picked up and photographed several of our Traditional and Heirloom seeds from a few seed exchanges this past weekend. I usually share the bear beans my family has been growing for years. I can't wait for it warm so we can get started. #gardening #growyourownfood #heirloomseeds #traditionalSeeds #HaudenosauneeSeeds
