This the first mow of the season?

[Henry]

That is correct Nick.  Some parts of the lawn not ready yet.  Hoping the moles don't invade my lawn this year.  I have to admit though that back when I had a big garden before I retired in July 1992 along with the full time job it was not as enjoyable..  As of now, life is good.

And it was a BIG garden!  As a kid I loved going out with him in the garden.  We had such delicious veggies growing up! 

Thanks Dad for all your hard work thru the years to care for your family!

Below is part of the garden in the 1980s.  Shown are the 4 dozen tomato plants (Jet Stars) that helped provide one family here in town with many meals.  The lady used to can every single tomato I would drop off to her and in the winter time, many meals consisted mainly of homemade tomato soup.  Lots of satisfaction.  I used metal poles strung with two pieces of plain wire to stake them.  Also used to trim trim the suckers so ripe tomatoes could be easily seen and also the dreaded tomato worm droppings should they think they were going to feast on my plants.

That is a great photo!  And definitely just a piece of the garden! It was huge folks!!

When Maryanne was our Girl Scout leader, I remember seeing that large patch of garden.  It was about the same size as the garden my parents used to have at my house.  It was about half the backyard - looking at the space now, no wonder I hate weeding still to this day....
