By HELEN LANG

Sometimes I could find it possible to’ hate one of my gardening
friends. He is a nice fellow but when he comes over, and I take him _
around the garden hoping for lots of compliments, all-he does is
eur, -gumm, yes,”” then rather weakly says, ‘Your sweet-peas

are nice.’

-. Then, when I make the mistake of going over to ‘his garden I-can

understand why his response to my proddings were a trifle half-

- hearted. His garden-is nothing short: of magnificent! He has more

~ peaches than we do, lots of ripe cherries, his raspberries are double

the size of ours, his onions. are bigger, and at his urging his wife

(who has a nice nature) | reluctantly showed me a bag of potatoes he

had dug: out of one hill, total weight 6%: pounds.

I dug a volunteer plant a couple of days ago, and we harvested a
grand total of eight potatoes, each one the size of a pullet’s egg. To

really cap the insults the dwarf marigolds | grew from seed,some of
which. they. had in:-their front garden, don’ t even iook like the s same_
- Variety-we have,

Even harder.-to bear: is remembering that their marigolds had
been attacked early i in the season by.earwigs and almost completely
' defoliated.. Now they are huge robust plants that make ours look
like pigmies. His secret is soil built up over the years with lots of
compost; cow manure, and elbow grease, ue an abundance oH
sunshine; ;

bcalce we planted a lot of trees when we moved here. 12 years .
ago, we now have.a shady garden, and without lots of sunshine -
things like marigolds are bound to. be puny. Excuses, excuses, let’s:
