My grandad had a lottie when I was a kid and a greenhouse full of toms in the back garden. Used to be allowed to go and pick as many as I wanted to eat as snacks when I visited and the smell still reminds me of summer holidays there. Also, mum and dad always grew soft fruit, beans (of all sorts), courgettes and various other stuff so suppose even though I wasn't much interested as a kid I picked a fair bit up. Didn't really get into it until I got my own place and enjoyed pottering about as a bit of post work stress relief. Since then got into wanting to know where my food comes from so that has given me an extra push to grow more. Doesn't always work out right but will keep trying.
