The first flowers
that I took care of by myself, apart from morning glories in my elementary school,
were the sweet peas.
They were lovely.
I was growing them in my apartment.
The only window facing south was the small one in the kitchen.
I set my pots of baby sweet peas by the window, and watched them grow.
When they began to bloom, I brought it to my father and mother in law as a small gift.
They loved it and put it in a vase and placed it by the TV shelf and praised me for doing a good job.
I was so happy that I remember this clearly after so many years....almost two decades.
At the heart of things, I think that growing flowers and giving them to my loved ones is the motive for my gardening passion.
