[A Jovial Cad]

Good morning, snippy.

Very interesting article. Just an anecdotal tale regarding this, but after my grandfather was shipped out to fight in the Pacific my late grandmother, who was pregnant with my dad at the time, moved back to her parent's home along with her sister-in-law (my Great Aunt, who is still alive today). Together, they basically dug up my great-grandparent's backyard and planted a garden quite like the ones described in this story. The hardest thing to grow in the world, my grandmother told me once, was tomatoes in Missouri. They grew beans, turnips, carrots, and anything else that would grow in that rocky soil, apparently. And that was in the middle of a rather large-sized Midwestern city. Most of their neighbors did the same.
Anyway, just my mite. Excellent story, as usual.
