To-day we were cleaning up the garden. I was in the crocus bed scratching the soil, the ground was very hard and was hard to soften. After I had softened the ground I cut off the leaves near to the ground. jl/<rv 26, igoj. This morning we boys were planting spinach in the shade. We made three furrows in the second section's ground. We planted squash and corn in the sunshine. The squash and corn needs the sun and the spinach needs shade. We then sat down and read "Alice in Wonderland " under the trees. Jl/ay 2g, igo^. I noticed to-day our beans were very large, and our peas, radishes and lettuce in the second section are up.
