I've even imagined Henry showing off his produce to his children, then carefully picking, admiring, and transporting the radish and corn stalk by horse-drawn wagon. Just at the moment I'm wondering if there was a county fair and if he entered any of his produce into it. One more thing to research.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-47998426944755385912014-09-26T15:08:50.016-04:002014-09-26T15:08:50.016-04:00Oh heavens!

So hurrah for Henry contributing to the fun. Imagine the conversations around the dinner table as he watched that radish continue to grow and debated when to pick it.
