One of Granddaddy Charlie’s favorite things to do is work in his garden, which works out great for us, because we love eating all the yummy vegetables that it produces each year. I always knew that he and Granny put in lots of hard work...but I don’t think I realized how much work it actually took until this year when I started helping! Gramma and I helped put cages on 100 tomato plants, we did corn, dug potatoes, picked tomatoes, made and canned tomato juice and salsa. Craig and Granddad helped too, which was a new experience for Craig. He may not be the quickest at silking corn or cutting tomatoes, but he is definitely the most particular and gets an “A” for effort! Needless to say, we are all allowed to eat this year since we earned our keep! Charley was a big help, too! She put the cleaned ears of corn in buckets, nibbled on the corn, picked up the dug potatoes, and handed us tomatoes when we needed them. I doubt we could would have been so productive without her help! :)
