We would see Charles breaking the soil with a plow and his team of horses and almost fall asleep while eating his dinner at the table after the sun had set.

In those days working hard to produce their food was a necessity. If they didn't work hard enough to produce their own garden they may not have had enough food to get them through for the winter.

Over the years, as times changed, it has become possible for grocery stores to offer foods to consumers for less money than what it would cost to grow it themselves.

Because of that most people do not have to grow their own garden for food because of the more affordable prices.

There are some though that find that growing a garden is still necessary for their own personal reasons as well as being great fun.
