A CORNER OF THE FARM WAS MOMMA'S GARDEN EVERY YEAR. THERE WE GREW TOMATOES, BUTTERBEANS, SNAPS, CABBAGE, CARROTS, STRAWBERRIES, SQUASH, CUCUMBERS, FIELDPEAS, COLLARDS, KALE, TURNIP GREENS, SWEET POTATOES, WHITE POTATOES, YES WE EVEN RAISED OUR OWN POP CORN.
THERE WAS GRAPE VINES, APPLES TREES, PEACH AND PEAR TREES, PLUM AND CHERRIES TREES, ETC.
TODAY, AS THE TORNADOES AND HURRICANE TOOK AWAY THE TREES. OVER THE YEARS AS DADDY RETIRED FROM FARMING BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. WE NOW LEASE OUR LAND, GROW 84.5 ACRES OF COTTON. IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT COME FALL. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FIELD OF WHITE COTTON.
YES WE STILL GROW OUR GARDEN. I WILL MISS MY BUTTERBEAN SHELLER, DADDY WAS IT, (SMILE).
