Thank you for shareing your childhood memories, I really enjoy reading it . It brought back memories of my childhood when I was going up in a small town in Eastland, Tx. My grandmother had her roses garden and my mother had her vegetable garden . And today I grow my own vegetables and have lots of roses that I just love . Thank to both my mom and grandma for the memories of yester year.

I AM VERY GLAD HAVING THE IDEA ON THE ARTICLE “ARE PESTICIDES A CAUSE OF DIABETES” AS WELL AS GRAND MOTHER’S STORY. I AM A ORGANIC LOVER, INTERESTED IN ORGANIC FARMING.I HAVE A PLAN TO ESTABLISH ORGANIC FARMING IN BANGLADESH WITH A VIEW FOR HOME CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS EXPORT THE PRODUCTS, SINCE THE SOIL OF THE COUNTRY IS VERY FERTILE AND THE LABOR IS CHEAP. ANY ENTREPRENEUR IS WELCOME IN BANGLADESH FOR INVESTMENT. I WILL INVITE SUCH TYPE OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT RELATED ARTICLES.

As the grandchild of an Italian immigrant who grew up in her grandparent’s garden, your story brought back those memories with delight! Thank you for taking the time to write what was inside of you.

This story brought tears to my eyes. Just this morning as I was out for a jog with a friend, I was reminiscing with her over the foods and smells of our childhoods in our grandmothers’ kitchens. We were each longing for different things, but the longing was as much about the loving embrace of of our long-gone grandmothers, as it was the heritage food that no one else could ever get to taste quite the same way. I’m going to dig out my grandmother’s recipe file and try. Maybe my 3 little girls will get a taste of love from their Omie, whom they never got meet. Thanks for printing this story.

I just loved the blessing of the cabbage seeds. My Mother blessed everything she did, afgans, Easter Bread and baking items, even sewing aprons. I must say I now do the same, I don’t tell this to everyone–they may look at me strange. I too make cabbage rolls in the Slovak tradition for my children and grandchildren. Thank you for the wonderful story………..

All I can say is Thank You…Wonderful heart felt story…I could feel
the closeness you enjoyed with your grandmother. It’s great
to be able to pass on age old recipes that many people can try.
Remember the good things (food) of our lives with family members.
Thanks Again

We had lovely flat cabbages like that in Jamaica. Not so big though.
