The next day Dan and Ben took Cloe and Cole with them to test the plow. They drove the Jeep to a meadow between Dan and Joe’s place and began their first attempts at plowing. It took several fifty-foot rows before they learned that they could only plow about five inches deep and had to run over the rows two to three times to get the ground turned over. They also learned that the plow had to stick out past the side of the jeep or the Jeep’s tires would pack the soil down again.

In three days, they had a garden that measured 100 x 100 feet, and then they started planting. While Ginny, Jane, and Sarah planted, the others pounded T-posts and installed fencing. Then they ran chicken fencing around the bottom of the fence to keep the rabbits out of the garden. Ben fashioned a gate from some scrap 2x4s and the fence was done.

“We need some mothballs to spread around the inside of the fence. That will keep smaller mice and such out of our garden,” Ginny said.

“We can also plant Marigolds, mint, and a bunch of other plants that keep insects and mosquitoes away,” Sarah said.

Cloe directed Cole and the other kids in gathering rabbit droppings to fertilize the garden. Dot and Charlie made scarecrows and tied pie tins to the fences to scare birds away. Sarah gave Ben and Jane a list of woodland plants to dig up and bring to her garden so she could start making home remedies.

“Jane, I’ll be glad to teach you how to make my Grandmother’s home medicines. They really do work and will be needed when the medicine runs out. I also brought you a copy of the Peterson Field Guide for Edible Plants. This copy covers this area.”

“That would be fantastic. I’ll bring some of the plants back to our garden,” Jane responded.

Neither Jane nor Ben realized that Sarah would keep pushing the two together. Ben was timid at first but found Jane to be easy to talk with, and they were soon joking and flirting a bit. Jane was jealous that she didn’t have a good man like Ben to share her life. She would never try to steal him away, but she thought a little innocent flirting couldn’t hurt, could it?
