Ordinarily we would have our
garden planted by this time in
April. The sugar peas would be in
double rows the length of the gar
den and the onions would be push
ing up green sprouts. But at I
write this. I can’t even see the
ground as it is still snow and ice
covered.
I’ve sent for a few things from a
seed catalog but mostly I’ll use
seed that I’ve saved from last year
and the year before that. Jtast last
week I asked my husband to bring
me several bunches of peanut
plants that were hung high on
basement rafters. After roasting
them, I had an opportunity to
share some with several people
and even gave them raw ones to
plant in their gardens.
Now when I go to the grocery
store, I fill the cart with products
that 1 would not have thought of
buying 10 years ago. For one thing
1 find it is very convenient to have

a few dans of soup on the kitchen
shelf for a quick meal. And. I nev
er bought salad dressings as we
had cole slaw and that only needed
sugar and vinegar.
When our six children were all
at home. I did not spend as much
in one fteek as I do how for two of
us. I realize that things cost a lot
more, but in those days we got
along by just buying flour at the
mill and sugar, salt, bread, and
baked beans at 10 cents a can at
the store. Then, as now, we had
freezers full of beef, pork, fruit,
and 20 kinds of vegetables. We
had lots of milk and I made cus
tards most every day. A neighbor
sold eggs to us at a very reason
able price and we ate very well in
deed maybe that is why our
children are all so tall.
One of these days I’ll be able to
go out and get dirt under my fin
gernails again and start a new gar
den.
