—” I’m growing it legally now “
My father totally enjoyed working in his garden and after retiring from the Navy he expanded it to a quarter acre.
But what to grow? Finding enough zucchini users can be difficult.
He would attempt most requests and never turned down a seed packet. Late 1960s early 1970s.
The neighbor’s high school kids provided him with some “herb” seeds and they grew like wild.
My sister and I saw it as don’t-don’t tell.
Our mother was an artist/teacher who may have tried some of the “herbs” in pasta and did not care for the flavor?
To this day we still wonder if the Oldman knew?
My next door neighbor was a WW2 flyer (bombers and fighters) and when his dad died, they found a grow operation in the basement. Considering the smell, I can’t imagine how he hid it.
I think everyone in this county has grown it at some point according to the workmen who have been coming in and out of the house. I got lots of good advice when they were installing flooring
