Years ago, my dad built four cinder block planters for his soon to be expansive garden. Years of eggshell tossing and roto-tilling later, his precious soil had nourished hundreds of tomatoes, peppers, onions, carrots and corn.
This year, dad gave a whole planter to my brother for his “Halloween Pumpkin” and little peppers.
Leaping from planer to planter, still makes my little girl heart smile.
