Gardening

I love **__gardening__** with my Father so I chose it as my pilgrim focus. So I think you know what my focus is If you don’t it is **__gardening.__** During the old time many of the pilgrims had gardens and they also had a community **__garden.__** What is a community **__garden__**? It is where they grow big things like corn, tomatoes, squash, lettuce and what else? Some times more if they are lucky. Most of the people who worked on the **__garden__** was mostly the mother and the daughter. You are probably wondering what the men are doing. They are making tools for the garden. Did you know that they use different tools than today? The most popular herb in the garden was mint. The reason why because they used it for different things. For example: They use it for when they are sick. They also put it in their tea, and they also put it in their dessert. An another popular mint is peppermint. They put it in tea, pie, and others food. And we do all these things today. I found most of this information from Mary Norris Allenton. By Ryan Catherine Rodgers
