Orman asked me if we liked parsnips and when I said "Yes", quick as a wink, the 93 year old man dropped down on one knee and started digging some up for me

You will be seeing a lot more beautiful tulips around Orman's house this spring as this new bed has 1140 tulips

and if this doesn't keep him busy enough, he has also been pruning his Black Raspbury bushes seen in the middle photo behind him
