The first planting was a variety of vegetables including string beans, zucchini, and cucumbers. They were given the best care I knew how but very few of the seeds sprouted ... With his help and his seed, we planted twenty two hills in the ¼ acre treeless yard. ... Jamaican, Ann-Marie Campbell, Named to Head Home Depot.
