Mary and the Beans Talk by MARY HUBELIT Some people who grew up on a farm have flatly refused to even look at a vegetable gar- den in their adult life. Others, steeped in some aspect of professional life have found valuable therapy (plus a margin- al economic bonus) in tending a garden. Then there are those who have a curious mind and a healthy respect for the CAR OF THE WEEK -- 4981 Camaro Z28 Convertible (3,000 km) 350 V8, auto, P/S, P/B, AM--FM Cassette, power door locks, power windows, air conditioning, LOADED- Stock No. 1125 New Price $19,508.00 Price Slashed to-$48,500-06 'New Car Warranty US AN OFFER! ble offer refused MAKE CHEVROLET No reasona OLOSMOBILE PONTIAC BUICK [_SPADONI | SPADONI BROS.. 824-2043 'Your GM Dealer serving the North Shore in Schreiber" 824-2304 miracle of growth, who never lost the faith in- stilled in them by their very first garden. My very first garden was a bean. Somewhere between four and five years old, I'm sure the details of it are re- membered more from Mother and Dad's tell- ing over the years than an actual recollection of the performance. Any- way, our first spring in a new house found us planning excitedly for a vegetable garden. After some time spent mea- suring, marking, dig- ging and raking, we were at last ready to plant. First the stakes and string were set to mark the limits of the row, then the shallow trough was scored. Mother (who could bend over easier than Dad) select- ed a package of beans from the collection of seeds, shook a few into her hand and began to sow. Halfway along the row I could stand it no longer - I had to plant a garden too. Mother handed me a bean and I took off. '"'Not there!l?' Dad hollered, "The potatoes go there!" "Not here - this is for my radishes!"' cried my brother with the author- ity of his 3-year senior- ity. Mother said gently: "'Why don't you find your very own place -mark it so we'll all know where it is?" Off I trudged happily, 'to the side of the house where tall larkspur against a white lattice fence divided the front lawn from the back yard. Satisfied that they couldn't see me, I scrap- ed a small hole and ten- derly laid the bean on its side, piled the warm soil and reassuringly patted it flat. Why should I mark the place? I knew where my garden was, you bet I did! They could keep theirs! : Now, the second thing you have to know about growing your own veg- gies is that they don't come up overnight. No- morning when I was let' out to play, I pawed up my bean - it was dirty, but otherwise look- ed just like yesterday. Cover it up again - go and play. This went on for a week. My brother's ra- dishes were already showing green. Then one morning my Mo- ther was shaken by her little girl running to the house howling "There's boly told me. Next something in my bean! Its going to eat it!" Mother examined the bean, told me about the small sprout and cau- tioned me not to dig it up again because it was ready to grow. She came outside with me, helped me plant and water the bean and then we went in and finished the breakfast dishes. Now I know why Mother's Day and the planting season are so close together.
