—Lancaster farming, Saturday, June 26, 1976

Every morning about the time
that the first rays of the sun had
sparked life into the birds in the
trees, and the chickens began
cackling and scratching he was
there.
Usually the dew was still hanging in
small droplets on the leaves of his
plants, and the air was cool and
refreshing. This was the"way he liked
it. A retired coal miner, with a history
of heart ailments, Mr. Baldwin, our
neighbor, spent every morning in his
garden.
He carefully weeded, hoed, and
even inspected many of the plants
making sure that none Jiad become
infected disease or parasites.
His efforts and devotion showed, too,
because every year he had the nicest
garden in the neighborhood. There
wasn’t a weed anywhere. Neat rows
of peas, cabbages, onions, beans,
carrots and most anything else stood
erect and proud, as though they knew
their,master loved them. And
probably they did.

Although Baldwin, an amiable and
generous man with big hands and
thoughtful eyes, preferred to work
before the sun's heat baked the
countryside, he attacked weeds and
bugs at any time of day until beads of
sweatrolled from his face and arms.
Occasionally he’d pull out a hand
kerchief and wipe the moisture from
-his brow, the way Louis Armstrong
Tused to do during his performances.
Only here, surrounded by corn fields
and pastures, there was no roar of
applause just the pleasant sounds
of chirping crickets, singing birds,
cackling hens and a crowing rooster.

Vegetables weren't all Mr. Baldwin
grew in his garden on our farm. Along
the edges and bordering the road
were hundreds of flowers. These, too,
were taken care of with pride and
love.
But I wonder just how many cars
might have come by in which the 7
occupants exclaimed: “My, what a
magnificent garden!"
