good evening Thank you again for participating in my oral history interview This is the second of a set of a few interviews that I will be doing for my interviewing class Today I want to discuss one of your hobbies gardening All my life you've kept amazing flower gardens and had exotic plants I want to learn more about what got you interested in gardening So I'm going to ask you a few opening questions Uh what got you interested in gardening My parents and my grandparents I always worked in the garden We always had a garden as a family growing up And my grandmother had a garden that she would grow all of her own food and can it or freeze it and that is what we would eat there all winter So she also grew a lot of flowers and I got very interested in all the different flowers she grew and just really loved flowers and having my hands in the earth Um when did you start your first garden of my own Yes of your own A vegetable garden or a flower garden Um either or I was thinking more of a flower garden Um thinking thinking So the first place I probably had my own flower garden was when I lived with my first husband's family before I graduated high school So I was 18 or 19 and my grandmother uh was ill and wanted to get me starts from her different flowers and Aunt Monica Okay Um what do you remember what kind of flowers they were That's what I used to start my first flower garden Um irises coline and um pineies daffodils a lot of pretty flowers Yes Um so now I'm going to move on to like the more like core questions for the interview Um what was your first big memory when it uh comes to gardening That could be vegetable gardening or flower gardening It would be that at certain harvest times at grandma's house everyone was helping Not that I would ever not want to help but You were expected to help shelling limema beans snapping green beans Um because the green beans were getting canned water bath canned and the lima beans would get blanched and frozen But my earliest memories of gardening would have to be that Thank you Mom Um so who is someone I know you kind of mentioned this in uh the like our opening questions but who is someone who nourished your love for gardening Definitely my grandmother Virginia Funk My paternal grandmother Um what is one of your favorite plants to grow One of my favorite plants to grow is knit There are many different kinds of mint and um what you call like uh lemon balm I know you've always had patches of it somewhere around the house It's fairly hardy So that means you know at the earliest times and the latest times there's always mint It's very good to put in tea and stuff too Yes it makes wonderful addition to your tea And some of it you just I mean the lemon bomb is quite medicinal and it kind of grows like a weed in Chase Town Ohio I don't know what about the soil here that it just really loves but I have recently thought of getting some soil tests of different to see what's going on with the soil out here I feel like um that's something I've never done and I'm just kind of interested in it See what different minerals are in the um that are in our soil and stuff Right And also um acidity is a big thing Because it also that acidity can plays in part with what plants you can grow there Correct Right It does Certain plants prefer a high acid soil which is what I think we have here probably all from all the farming and stuff because this is all farmland Um so moving on to my next question It's kind of similar Um what is one of your most exotic plants that you've owned Exotic meaning like the most unique or from like another part of the world I brought a They have them in all the gift shops and things in Hawaii A stick of plumeriia and I got two of them and I grew them into beautiful trees I really nurtured those and drugg those around with me to many different homes I know you uh were they with the batch of tropical trees that you had the other ones like the um um no they um died in maybe let's see probably about 02 to they got some kind of a strange fungus Oh okay But I by the time I realized what was going on because they also there was an incident with your older brother Um they were just recovering from that when they caught a fungus much like one that our pine tree caught or you know something similar Similar Yes It actually just uh turned the it's a barky tree It doesn't really get ranches It's all bark And um I mean it just turned to mush Oh that's really upsetting Oh it was Um similar to that um what was the longest that you've kept the same plant for The longest time like that you've had the same flower or tree I had a couple of those hibiscus trees for over 20 years Wow that's a really long time Yeah And one I had gotten from a lady at work and it had been her grandmother's So those hibiscus trees just say small like that all their lives don't they I mean I cut them back but they're more of a I think they're more of a shrub than a tree And they're from a tropical climate so I remember you'd always have to lug them out during the uh during the summer and lug them back in during the the fall right Um and then here uh I'm here's my final question Uh what year garden were you the most proud of This can be like a flower garden or vegetable garden or just a mixture of both I mean but it was a lot Your dad's vegetable garden his last one that he grew was absolutely beautiful It was perfect Um but the first few years we lived here um 2008 2009 then probably around 200 was probably the best flowers I ever had I had flowers around each one of those trees out in the front yard Just like 2 feet of flowers all the way around them Yeah You sprinkled It was like a bunch of wildflower seeds wasn't it Well yeah butterfly garden type seeds cosmos and um daisies Uh sweet William some uh flax is a very beautiful plant Um so was there any particular reason why you were so proud of that garden I would have to say just the variety of things and still being able to just put a lot more work into it than I'm able to now And it was just you know so much bigger I had flowers everywhere But now I have more perennials going strong than I ever have So I mean now's a good time too cuz all and all the perennials are nice and big like the rose bushes and stuff right I've got that one red knockout rose is just that's a happy place to be planted no matter what I've had planted right in that spot And um I mean it's going to take a little time because we had kind of a harsher winter than usual for things to pop back up this summer But we should have three beautiful butterfly bushes Had those for a long time too Yes we have Um the one that is out by our um stump is actually from dad's house in Lynchber nearly 20 years ago Right And you know I could take you around and show you each thing that I planted the first year we lived here I'm sure it was a lot of the tulips and bulbs and stuff because a lot of those take sometimes years to come up Like you got to plant them the winter before right Well that concludes all the questions I wanted to ask you Uh thank you again for participating in this interview Mom Um your gardening has always been a big part of my life Uh and during my life I've always been interested in learning where that love for gardening came from It was nurtured very sweetly by my grandmother She would say "Oh look at that tiny little flower." I mean I try to do that for my grandchildren and I'm glad to know that I did it for you Thank you for having me Thank you Mom You're welcome
