Chapter 24

“Started without me?” he said, feigning a pout.

“The easy part,” Wylie replied. “Now comes the planting.” He handed Garry the hoe. “According to the man at the garden center, you use the hoe to dig rows for the seeds.”

“I think I can handle that,” Garry said and started to work.

“It would be easier if you use the trowel to make the holes for the plants.”

Wylie turned to find out who was talking and saw Betty Harte standing at the back gate. Without asking, she opened it to come into the yard.

“Believe me; I’ve planted enough to know what I’m talking about.” She picked up the seed packets. “No corn? What’s a garden without corn?”

“Smaller,” Wylie replied with a smile. “Seems to me I remember it taking up a lot of room in Gramps’ garden.”

“But it’s so worth it.” She looked around then pointed. “You could put some in that corner.”

“Taking the day off?” Garry asked her, sitting back on his heels.
