Is there a plant that's special to you or brings back fond memories when you grow or see it?

There are many! As a preschooler my family gave me my own little garden spot to care for, and I did.
I remember growing and caring for radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, beans and Tom thumb tomatoes and flowers!
I remember the life lessons learned about how bees help the vegies grow, picking off bugs (saving the hornworms and grubs for bait), the bat house in my garden, picking weeds and waiting, waiting waiting. And how much I enjoyed the fruits of my labors in salad that I had grown.
It brings back beautiful memories of my mom who left her body on October 12, 2012

I have ALWAYS felt more at home in my body when my body can be outside in nature, also regardless of the weather.
I'm 53 now and I still climb up in trees with a good book and read for hours...even in the winter.
I am stuck in a city currently saving up to escape back to the country, really wanting to purchase some mountain acreage and start living out my lifelong dream of multi-function homestead community.
I'm applying for Bootcamp this Friday and am hoping things move along sort of quickly.
