AMG... My grandparents are Immigrants of Calabria....1920s and landed in an Italian neighborhood of which the church Our Lady of Mt Carmel was the focus. Cleveland, Ohio. Grandma maiden name was DiNardo. Grandpa had fruit and veggies growing everywhere. The only grass was the tree lawn. He brought fig trees from Italy! Now I have grown fig trees from cuttings from the tree that originated from Calabria. George Valente
OH how I love this. I just love this. My childhood...my Mom's....my Grandmother's.....so beautiful. I am bringing the tradition back.Thanks for doing this!!
Sorry, just seeing this now. Good for you for keeping the tradition of the garden. Those of us who knew the earlier generations who gardened need to pass this tradition to future generations. They need it now more than ever, for so many reasons.
Beautiful!!!
Lucky you! He gave you a fig tree!!!! Best of luck with it! What a treasure.
I love Sabatino! My family is from Abruzzo also - he reminds me of my uncles, and I miss them. I will watch this many times, thank you!

I remember my grandparents garden. It was not pretty but it produced. I have since started my own garden in the back yard...it also is not pretty.
