Here's a basket of things from
the garden
which help to reduce Becker's
bill
Fresh vegetables always taste
nicest
So I am
sure these will;
I don't know if Becker has been mentioned before, but he appears he is a close friend of the Behrends. I remember that around this time more people were encouraged to start gardens (If I am remembering correctly), and Maryoffering fresh fruits and vegetables to someone, friend or neighbor, was a sign of goodwill.—#rgerzevske
