Dick hires a young man with an extra helping of energy.
This weekend the two of them planted the garden.
The garden consists of a 15'x25' plot created over an old septic tank and several pots.
Potatoes are already coming up and are about ready to be covered over for the next growth spurt.
Various veges are planted in neat rows with wooden stakes to mark their whereabouts.
Pots of varying shape and quality hold several types of peppers and tomato plants.
Greg emptied the old soil from the pots, added new, mixed it with mulch, while Dick planted away behind him.
They dug up a dead guava, replacing it with a Norfolk pine which had been the holiday tree.
Greg harvested all the grapefruit and took it to the Christian Service Center to distribute to those who come there for the food bank.
What would the aging do without the partnership of youthful energy to facilitate the love of a garden growing.!
