Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

join our new Betty MacDonald fan club garden research team, please.

You'll have lots of fun and joy joining this team.

Betty MacDonald fan club garden research team is working on new stories for future Betty MacDonald fan club newsletters.

You can read some wonderful quotes below Betty MacDonald did in her golden ' The Egg and I '.


"Our growing season was short, or rather our maturing season was short, for we had late frosts and little hot weather; but the mild winters and long cool springs seemed to give a succulency to the vegetables which I have never seen surpassed. Nothing was ever pithy or tough or harsh flavored." (153-54)

"That was truly a gardener's paradise except that we couldn't grow lima beans or eggplant or melons or peppers" (154)

"I planted nasturtiums and bachelor's-buttons and they came up covered with South African Jungle rot and Himalayan Spot Wart." (154)

"I decided at last that instead of the green thumb I had the touch of death" (154)

"Never have I come face to face with such productivity. Pea vines pregnant with bulging pods; bean poles staggering under big beans, middle-sized beans, little beans and more blossoms; carrots with bare shoulders thrust above the ground ... succulent summer squash and zucchini where it seemed only a matter of an hour ago there were blossoms." (183)

"Bob's garden was a thing of symmetry and beauty." (153)

We wish you a very nice Wednesday with lots of sweet smiles.

Take care,

Maria
