FAREWELL TO A 40 YEAR OLD GARDEN

Forty years ago I carved this great garden out of a piece of sick old orchard soil. I return it now to grass I can mow with my mechanical donkey...........namely a riding mower.

My final satisfaction is that it is being returned hundreds of times better than it was when we began using it. Next summer we shall enjoy the new grass and the white clover while the area wildlife and insects nibble and haul off their share.

No one local that I knew even gave it a thought as a use for share garden.....even with free water and a darn good coach. Sad but time rolls on. We will always know where that good soil was put to rest if we have need.....or the ability, to garden it again on that scale.
