Only brat am I, overprotected and coddled, and dragged to every "National
Farm and Garden meeting". Mother was into arranging flowers and making
wreaths and stuff and I was into the real Gardening. One of our biggest
jokes was my attempt to grow carrots and corn on my own. I was about 14 at
the time. I dug a plot and planted my seeds for Carrots and Corn. I also
planted some potato eyes. Well I didn't till the carrots soil deep enough
so I had 3 inch long carrots that were about 4 inches in diameter solid then
they spilt off into "Legs". I also didn't realize that corn had to be
planted in rows for pollination. That Christmas at the Garden club
Christmas sale and gathering the ladies gave me a gardening hat with panels
of corn and carrots. I still have that hat somewhere.
It's amazing how our family influences our later life.
