occasional trip through to pull the weeds
by hand. Carol said that if she keeps after
the garden in the beginning, the weeds
don’t get ahead of her - unless she goes on
vacation like she did last year.
Laaghingly she said, “I get a lot of
exercise. I fotihd muscles I didn’t know I
had. Mostly I don’t think about the work.”
As expected, Carol’s iamily loves ve
getables, and she happily offers advice on
preparing vegetables if her customers ask.
Along with her love of gardening, Carol
also enjoys stripping tobacco. She said she_
prefers doing it with her husband, but she
goes out almost every day alone because
“it gives me a chance to get out of the
house.”
Carol’s interests are many, and varied.
Before her gardening began taking so
puch of her time, she did custom sewing.

Over this past Winter Carol lost 35
pounds, and now she admits, “I don’t have
time to sew and I don’t have anything to
wear,” She also enjoys needlepoint, em

She feels she must give it up now and
devote her time to the garden, and
philosophically she said she likes gar
dening better for the family “because we
can work together.”
Sewing will remain a strong interest for
pride and joy in my-first-dress.” She has
taken some sewing courses over the years
especially, to update her knowledge with
things like knits, and adds. “When I’m
sewing it’s hard to put down.”

houseplants are another interest, and the
Hottensteins are redoing parts of their
brick farm house, built in 1847. “I was the
fifth brid to move in,” Carol states, “and
we are the fifth generation to live here. I’m
proud of it for that reason.”
An interesting experience for Carol last
Summer was to be selected for a visit by
the editor of the national magazine, Farm
Wile News. Editor Ann Kaiser spent two
nights with the Hottensteins and worked
during the day with vegetables. Since she
helped plant the broccoli and cauliflower,
Carol sent her some fresh vegetables when
they matured in the Fall. “It was a nice
experience, a wonderful experience. Ann
really wanted to help and learn. ”
The Hottensteins are members of the
Congregational Bible Church at Marietta,
and in December Carol completed a year
as president of the Women’s Fellowship.
She also works part-time at the Watt and
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 6,1978
Shand Department Store, at times, a job
which she says gives her pin money and “a
nice outlet.”
She said she chooses not to get into too
many activities while her children are
small. jShe notes that with the role of
women changing, “I’ve got plenty of years
left to pursue other interests.”
For the next several months, however,
she will have little time for interests other
than her garden. Her enthusiasm and
seemingly boundless energy help to
provide a waiting public with high quality
produce, cared for with devotion and love.
