Grandma showed us how to move the zucchini plant leaves to find hiding zucchini.

A little dab of Rhubarb & Onion Relish with pinto beans was good eating at Grandma’s farm.

We helped decorate jar lids with ribbons and bows so Grandma could give away this relish as gifts.

The grapevines in the woods behind our house were strong enough for me to climb, so I picked the grapes each year.
