Life was as sweet as the melons, but the work was hard5/9/2011

Everyone had a large garden in the mid-'30 if you wanted to survive. It was hard work picking off potato bugs, hoeing, digging, weeding, watering and fighting moles and gophers. It seemed like there was always some bug or varmint to fight, including rabbits.

Picking warm, soft, red ripe tomatoes right off the vine was a special treat and helped ease the monotonous daily grind of gardening in the heat of the day.

One year, Mom planted lots of peas to can. It seemed like we all shelled them for weeks. Since we did not have a pressure cooker, the next best way to can was to cold-pack or open-kettle them. She carried about 50 quarts down the outdoor cave steps and smiled at the remarkable accomplishment.

About a week later, disaster struck: To Mom's horror, every jar had spoiled. Bulging lids, foam, juice and broken glass greeted the open door when she went to check. Mom cried.

We always looked forward to eating a delicious mulberry and rhubarb pie. Most everyone had a mulberry tree right in their front yard.

Holding a bed sheet, we held on to the four corners while Mom shook the tree limbs to harvest the mulberries. She despised that tree on washday.

Snacks were pretty healthy, and ours sometime consisted of a chunk of raw potato or the heart of a cabbage wedge while waiting for supper.

We did eat lots of popcorn, popped no doubt in lard, and then slathered in butter and sprinkled with salt. The popper was a big heavy black cast-iron skillet that spent most of the time stored on top of the cook stove.

Two stove lids down sat the shiny aluminum coffee percolator with the glass knob on the lid, ready at any moment for a warmed-over second cup of coffee.

One fall, my cousins from New York came for a visit. They thought Iowa was in the wild, wild West and, indeed, there seemed to be plenty of chicken, horse, gas and watermelon thieves in those bleak days.

Cousin Sissy loved cutting up the big cucumbers and radishes outside under the big lilac bush.

That year, Dad planted a huge watermelon patch, of which he was very proud. After supper, a melon sounded good, so he decided to pick one.

Sissy and Sis spied his every move, gently thumping each melon as he moved down along the patch. After finding just the right one, he reached in his overalls for his beloved pocketknife and proceeded to "plug" the melon for ripeness.

Alert eyes were watching his every move, and the next day they plugged every melon in the patch. Dad cried.
