Notebook
Ida Risser m, jJ.. .
Despite the fact that we’ve had
several frosts in October, my
garden is still green and
producing.
We had no rain here during July
or August and so I finally laid two
soaker hoses on the rows of
vegetables. Without the water
there would have been no
cucumbers or squash. Even my
late sweetcorn and the two rows of
popcorn were benefitted by the
moisture.
This year we grew our own
watermelons and cantaloupes.
Now I can see why, at one time,
this farm was known for its
melons. The field back of our house
is quite sandy and has a southern
slope which makes it ideal for this
crop. Maybe that’s where I should

put my peanuts next year. The
sweet potatoes that were planted
there this year yielded quite'well
considering how very dry the
summer was here.
The white grapes did better than
the blue ones considering the size
of the vines. I always make grape
juice and then put the balance
through the foodmill and make
grapesauce. We like it frozen as
much as applesauce.
I believe this was a good year for
peppers, as I had not only green

ones to freeze but plenty of red
ones too. And, not one of my bushel
of yellow onions rotted this year.
I’ve been giving away a lot of
vegetables like chard, leeks,
parsley and cherry tomatoes.
When someone protested, I heard
myself say, “But I have so
much”—how true. My Kentucky
Wonder beans were beautifully
green and straight up to the middle
of this month and I had some to
sell, also.
In all of this growing business,
the flower garden was not
neglected. Cindy’s 4-H flowers
have been giving me bouquets of
zinnias, scabiosa, marigolds, com
flowers, asters and calendulas all
fall. And my flower garden still
needs attention as there are
gladiolus, tuberoses, • dahlias,

Aztec lilies yet to be dug for safe
keeping until I start all over again
next year.
