Kerry and I both love gardening. There’s something so satisfying about harvesting a bunch of food that you grew, and knowing it will help feed your family over the winter.
For me, the most important thing to grow each year is tomatoes (growing tomatoes is so easy!). Tomatoes from the store are just the idea of a tomato, but eating ones grown in the garden is amazing. Plus, I use tomatoes all the time in cooking.
