What a plow can do
I am 85 years old and enjoy working
outside. My cousin made the garden plow for me. When my oldest
son saw it he said, “Mama,
you can plow with that plow all you want, but I will never plow
with it.” I have enjoyed using it; it would be hard if
I just had a hoe to use.
I start doing things in my garden in
the fall. I pull up all the dead plants and put them in a compost
pile, so when spring comes, I won’t have as much work to
do. I always enjoy my flowers and enter the flowers as well as
vegetables in the fair exhibits. I won 18 ribbons and made $58
this year.
I heard it was going to frost last night
so I picked the peppers and tomatoes. I will share with my family
and friends. I wrap the tomatoes in newspapers to ripen so we can
have fresh tomatoes for Thanksgiving.
