My sincerest sympathies. Seeing the wide variety of fruits and veggies that she tended to in her garden really made me more interested in gardening as well. I enjoyed having lemonade made from her fresh lemons, having apple pie from her apples, caldo verde from her kale and zucchini bread from her zuchinis. She was doing organic gardening before it became fashionable!
