Some years we have a very dry
summer but this year it has been
quite wet in our area. This is fine
for growing flowers and vegeta
bles. But, you should see the fine
specimens of weeds in our garden.
The red root is so sturdy that it is
difficult to pull and grass grew up
through my one strawberry row.
Oh boy, did I sweat to clean that

August we are picking some from
a row of everbearing ones. It is a
nice change from peaches and

watermelon, but this year, I think

than we can handle.

May have only now come up. In
fact, I almost forgot where I put
them along our rail fence. How

left in the ground over winter. One
was an Easter lily that just bloom

“Stargazer” and it has a very large,
fragrant bright pink blossom.
This year my vegetable garden

babies of high-risk parentage, he
has been able to prevent irreversi
ble brain damage of many of these
young children. The same tests
that are at the clinic for $35.00
would cost $350.00 to $400.00 at
major medical centers, making
these tests too expensive for many
parents. The costs of owning and
operating this laboratory equip

from this annual auction, the clinic
has been able to offer this service
to their clients at a price that is af
