Allen, there's nothing finer than having a young grandson who
is interested in your gardening.. . .
How could I forget the time I asked my own young'un what he
would like to to bring back with me, for him to plant?
Without hesitation he told me, "Strawberries and mashed
potatoes!"
"Strawberries will be easy, " I answered, "but the mashed potatoes --
now that's a problem..." We both knew that he was pulling my leg,
of course.
And so the next time we drove up to his house, I brought along
3 Alsatian strawberry plants, which I knew were evergreen and
would bear fruit all summer. And I also brought a potato with
several eyes. The strawberries lived for 5 years, happy with his
occasional waterings, but the potatoes never took hold, alas. .
Wish I could live it all over again.
Penny, NY
