Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My father grew turnip greens at his farm in the fall. He also grew tomatoes, squash, and just about everything except corn. My father was funny about corn stalks, and he usually bought his corn. Otto Wray worked for my father, and took care of the garden and the cattle on the farm.
