Odds & Ends
by MYRTLE HEIDEMAN
If you have driven along some country roads, you will have noticed the beautiful crops of corn, maize and cotton. Of course you would probably have to be a retired or working farmer or rancher to appreciate the beauty of the plants. If the hail and wind storms don’t come by, a “bumper crop” is in the hopes of all involved. Speaking of “bumper crops,” several gardeners have reported that the tomatoes and bean crops fit that category. The three inches of rain that fell last week was a welcome sight for all of us in the country.
