A humorous column rows about spring gardening excesses and the narrator’s wish to avoid activist horticulture. The piece critiques obsessive yard work, chemical sprays, and bragging among amateur gardeners while contrasting a simple desire to enjoy nature and read poetry. The author mentions crabs, bees, and a hawk sighting as part of the spring scene.
Rosenberger and Miller families hosted and visited neighbors including the Preffitts Fryes and Shook family members near Faw Gap and Winchester.
