Here's a video that outlines 15 features of family gardens of the past that have been lost to time. How's your family garden fared with all the rain the Bonanza Valley area has received? Prior to May 15, this area was in a severe drought. That's all a distant memory. Across the days of Wednesday and Thursday, June 25-26, the Brooten area received right near 4 inches of rain.
