Title: At Age 93, Orman Must Have A Secret Formula
Post by: Henry on May 12, 2007, 07:28:51 AM

Hi All,
Got a call from Orman Ovitt yesterday who told me his tulips were all in blossom if I wanted to check them out

Orman said he took a fall a few weeks ago and is a little sore, but he managed to kneel near the flowers for me

Besides the bed of tulips shown above, Orman also has one in back of him between the ramp and stairs to his porch

He then climbed up near the wishing well and told me he was working on getting his garden in.

As you look around Orman's yard, you see many plants and bushes and a neatly tilled garden ready to plant.

As for me, well in another twenty years, if I am here, don't think you will find me that active.  Orman is remarkable and enjoys every minute of it.

Thanks for the great photos and comments on Orman.   I have known him as long as I have been here and he is truly an amazing man who works hard, enjoys his work, and has a real flair for gardening.   He always has another idea, another project that he is curious about!

Beautiful!  And the flowers aren't bad either!
