Buckingham County veterans were not forgottenduring our recent Christmas holiday season. SoldiersJoe Snoddy, Kris Pierce, Jason Williams, MatthewPayne, Gene Baime, and Michael Reynolds, all serv-ing in Afghanistan, were the recipients of holiday carepackages from citizens of Buckingham, who recog-nized the importance of what these soldiers do on adaily basis for their country.

The sending of the care packages were organizedthrough two separate groups in the county. Pierce,Williams, and Snoddy received packages from thestaff of Buckingham County Primary School. Theproject, led by staff member, Staci Pierce (Kris’s moth-er) and principal, Joan Staton, saw teachers and staffat the school joining together to collect hard to getitems to send. A second group of citizens, throughthe Woman’s Missionary Unit of Mulberry GroveBaptist Church, also collected items for Payne,Baime, Reynolds and Snoddy.

“We initiated the project after our school’sVeteran’s Day program in November,” said Pierce.“The staff knew that they wanted to do something col-lectively to honor the active veterans. We thought a

care package would be appreciated.”Valerie Breault, representing MulberryGrove, shared the type of items sent.“Snacks, light-hearted movies and oldTV shows, candy, and home-cookeditems were collected from our mem-bers,” she said. “Fresh food items wereshrink wrapped and frozen before beingpacked.” The two groups learned thatcare packages to soldiers required cus-tom forms to be completed and werelikely received within five to ten days.

Through an e-mail correspondencewith Kris Pierce, the Beacon hearddirectly from a recipient the impact ofreceiving a care package. “I got thepackage about a week ago,” wrotePierce. “My package contained lots ofsnacks; which are pretty hard to get outhere. Pringles, Goldfish crackers, gum,razors, shaving cream and body wash.Essentials that we take for granted backhome, but run out pretty quick here.There is no real way to get them otherthan care packages. They are muchappreciated.”

The same could be said for how weshould feel about the sacrifice of the sol-diers. Much appreciated.

4• BUCKINGHAM BEACON • January 13–February 9, 2012

There are many in Buckingham who might take for granted that thecounty has two dentists in its midst. Many small communities have none.One person who does not take this for granted is Dr. Cary Bryant; a localand very well respected dentist, who to this day, appreciates the opportuni-ty he has been given to serve his community.

“If you had told me I was going to be a dentist when I was a teenager, Iwould have laughed,” said Bryant. The story of his success and dedicationis one that benefits everyone in the county.

One of seven children born to Richard Lewis Bryant and Verna Stinson,Bryant was raised on a farm in Arvonia. “Along with farming, my fatherworked for the C & O railroad. He grew wheat, corn, beef cattle, hogs, andchickens. My mother was a housewife.” Bryant laughs when noting thathe was born in 1940. “It was the year of the big snow; people still talkabout it.” Recalling a tranquil childhood, Bryant has fond memories ofgrowing up on the farm. “We didn’t have electricity until I was eight,” hesaid. “Our water pump and toilet were outside; we used the spring to keepfood cool.” The Bryant siblings were expected to help with the farm work.“We gathered eggs, milked cows, and helped our mother with the garden-ing and canning. She cooked hot bread for us three meals a day. Wewere spoiled by good food.”

Bryant started school in Mt. Tabor, a one room school house with sixgrades, taught by Mrs. Lily Baber. “I then attended the Marshall DistrictSchool, before finishing up my last two years at Buckingham Central High

“After I got a 39 on my first algebratest, I remember thinking that this old

country boy needed to go home.”– Cary Bryant

School,” he said. “In those days theschool buses were privately owned.My father bought the chassis of a schoolbus, so we would have a way to get toschool. The school owned the body.My brother drove the bus.”

Recalling his last two high schoolyears, Bryant was quite frank about hisstatus in school. “I suppose I was agood student, but I wasn’t outstandingin any particular subject.” Laughing herecalls how his ‘good image’ helped himin some situations. “Pete Gowin wasthe only person who had a car in highschool. He always wanted to go up tothe corner to get lunch. He’d used uphis excuses so he got me to tell the prin-cipal that a rat had eaten my lunch sowe could go out. I guess I could getaway with things because everyonethought I was good.”

In spite of his modesty, Bryant wasgood enough academically to have hisguidance counselor, Lorna Scott,encourage him to take chemistry, so hecould apply to college. “I was accept-ed to VPI and the University ofRichmond. I was also offered a job onthe railroad but my father talked me outof it and encouraged me to attend col-lege.”

“VPI was a ROTC school during thattime. There were about 300 girls and3000 boys.” Bryant found the universi-ty’s academics very challenging. “AfterI got a 39 on my first algebra test, Iremember thinking that this old countryboy needed to go home. But the pro-fessor helped me and I made it throughthe class.” Still not sure what he want-ed to do, Bryant changed majors anumber of times before graduating witha degree in animal science/husbandry.

Upon graduation, Bryant discoveredthat he had earned the necessary cred-its to apply to dental school at theMedical College of Virginia. “I remem-ber getting the letter from MCV in themail, knowing that it was a rejection. Iwas quite surprised to see that I hadbeen accepted.” Bryant attendedMCV’s four year dental school, the firsttwo living in the dorms, the last twowith his new wife, Louise Hobart, whoattended Mary Washington College.“Lou taught earth science and biology

in Henrico while I finished school,” saidBryant.

Taking on the academic challenges ofdental school, Bryant found himself put-ting in 40 plus hours a week of classes,including labs. “There were manytimes that I was discouraged but I guessI had never failed so I figured I could dothis.” Dental students take all the sameclasses as medical students, includingbiology, chemistry, micro biology, andpharmacology. Part of his labs requiredworking on cadavers. “It took somegetting use it,” he said, “especially theconstant smell of the formaldehyde.After four years of hard work, CaryBryant became Dr. Bryant, D.D.S.

“I knew I was coming back toBuckingham,” he said Renting the for-mer office of doctors (and former den-tists) Cecil Patterson and Ivan Younce,above the old Davis Department store,Bryant took out a loan, bought dentalequipment and in 1967 set up his prac-tice. “Karolyn LeSueur Geigert andmy wife worked for me. My first patientwas Faye Wyland Shumaker”(Shumaker acknowledges this and saysthat she continues to be his patient).He gave his first injection to his greatestfan; his wife.

“The hardest part was learning howto run the business of being a dentist,”said Bryant. “It takes a different per-sonality to run a business than being adentist.” Bryant must have learnedabout the business aspect very quickly,as in 1969, needing more space, hebuilt the office building on highway 15,where he currently practices. “I hadthe shell built and then Lou and I fin-ished most of the inside ourselves.”That building has expanded and beenremodeled several times over the yearsand now has a staff of eight.

Recalling his first few years as thenew dentist in town, Bryant said, “Idon’t remember being overwhelmed.The way I looked at things, a lot of peo-ple either didn’t have a dentist or hadn’tbeen to one in long time. I felt that itwas good that I was here to provide aservice. If I can get people out of painand solve their problems, I’ve helpedthem.”

Bryant eventually expanded intoorthodontics, handling simple cases,usually with adults. “Many people havea difficult time getting to the city so Ithought it would be helpful to providethe service.” Bryant has to be recerti-fied every year by taking continuingeducation courses. He is a member ofthe American Dental Association andhas traveled across the county to attendconferences and training workshops.

Over the years, Bryant has seenmany advances in dentistry. “Theintroduction of adhesive dentistry is abig change,” he said. “Also compositeresins have replaced silver fillings.They bond the tooth better.” He alsoacknowledged that dentists take a moreconservative approach regardingremoving teeth. “Dealing with insur-ance is another big change,” he said.“Years ago, people didn’t have insur-ance; that has required more paper-work on our part.”

Bryant’s office is always prepared fora possible emergency. “We have CPRcertification and a defibrillator. Notingthat statistics report dentists have theshortest life span of the medical popula-tion, he said, “They’ve determined thatwhen a doctor gives an injection, hisblood pressure and heart rate goes up. Iimagine that stress level goes down aswe age.”

Every profession has its uniqueness.It turns out that, not surprisingly, den-tists notice people’s mouths. “I can’ttell someone’s hair or eye color but I doknow their mouth.” When pressed toexplain, Bryant laughed and said, “If Ihad my way, everyone’s mouth wouldbe like Julia Roberts. When she opensher mouth you can see all of hermolars.”

Bryant enjoys working with children,encouraging parents to bring them in towatch another family member beforecoming in as a patient. “It’s usuallyonly a problem when a parent waitsuntil a child has a toothache. If theyare ‘criers’ we try to do short proce-dures.” He continues, “The worse sit-uations are when parents try to preparea child by telling them that it won’t hurt.Right off the child is suspicious.” Thegood news is that Bryant is seeing

improvement in the population when itcomes to oral health. “People are tak-ing better care of their teeth.”

A notable change at Bryant’s practiceis the addition of his daughter, Dr.Kathy Seiler and son-in-law, Joe.Kathy and Joe both served in the mili-tary (Joe is currently finishing up histour) and attended MCV dentistryschool, where they met. Joe served inIraq; Kathy in Afghanistan. “Kathyworked on the president ofAfghanistan,” said Bryant. “That wasa unique situation as Muslim countriesdon’t look at women as equals. Plusshe is left-handed; a taboo in that reli-gion.” The addition of two dentists(Joe will join the practice full-time inAugust) has allowed Bryant to focusmore on the business aspect of his prac-tice.

Bryant has also offered his service tohis community. He has been a mem-ber of the Ruritan Club, where heearned a citizenship award and is acharter member of both the county’sChamber of Commerce and rescuesquad. He, with the late Cary andThelma Robinson and Frank Harris,was co-founder of the BuckinghamCounty Public Library. “I signed thedeed to buy the current property,” hesaid. “The library started in my park-ing lot with a book mobile.” He hasalso worked with the Buckingham chap-ter of the American Cancer Society and

served on the board of directors ofPrince Edward Academy (now FuquaAcademy).

An avid supporter of education,Bryant ran unsuccessfully for the Boardof Supervisors in the 1970’s. “That’swhen they were considering buildingthe vocational center. The establish-ment appeared to be opposed to it.My feeling is they didn’t want to edu-cate people. When people are poorand ignorant, you can control them bet-ter. The more educated people are, theless you can control them.” Whenreflecting on the founding of the library,Bryant noted that some members of thelocal government said there was noneed for a library. “We proved to theskeptics that Buckingham citizens wouldbenefit from the vocational center andthe library. Even though I did not winthe supervisor election, I believe I wonthe battle when the Board ofSupervisors finally voted to supportboth programs.”

Bryant enjoys spending time with histwo daughters, their husbands, and hisfour grandchildren. “I love Buckinghamand I love being a dentist,” he said.“Buckingham is a healthy place to live.It may have its shortcomings but thereare many good people in the county.”Bryant noted that when he sendspatients outside of the county to spe-cialists, the doctors always comment onhow nice Buckingham people are.

Bryant also shared two memories thathave remained with him over the years.“When I was home from college, a 90-year-old man wandered off in my areaand got lost in the woods,” he said.“The search and rescue effort includedhelicopters. I found him lying in acreek, under a very wet and heavy log.I moved the log off of him and to thisday, believe under normal circum-stances, I would have never been able tomove that log.”

He also shares what was a potentiallytragic situation involving his wife, Lou.“Soon after we moved back toBuckingham my wife fell off a horse onour property,” he said. “She has asevere brain injury and was hospitalizedfor over three months.” Recalling thattime, Bryant noted that many peopledid not expect her to recover. “I neverthought that she would die,” he said.“In spite of major brain surgery, sherecovered and had two children.”

Bryant continues to offer quality den-tal care to his many satisfied patients.He does not have any plans to retireand finds his work challenging andrewarding. Now that his daughter andson-in-law are part of his team, hemight get to relax a bit more and per-haps return to farming. “I enjoy mywork and love the people of this coun-ty,” he said. That sentiment for thiswonderful doctor would likely be mutu-al for Buckingham citizens as well.

Charles Yancey was born March 22, 1770 in Louisa County, the son of theRev. Robert Yancey and Ann Crawford Yancey. Charles was married April 5th,1791 to Nancy Spencer, daughter of Francis Westbrook Spencer and MaryHorsley Spencer, of "Traveler's Rest" in Buckingham County. Yancey left Louisaand moved to Buckingham County where he and Nancy produced their only child,Mary Chambers Yancey. Mary eventually married John Horsley , who died at theage of 32 while hunting. The children were raised by grandfather Charles Yancey.

At one time, Charles Yancey owned around 26,000 acres of land mostly onthe James River including the following plantations : "Traveler's Rest", "IslandView", "Montevideo" and "Yellow Gravel".

During the War of 1812 , Lt. Col. Charles Yancey was commanding officer ofthe 1st Regiment, Virginia Militia. The Regiment was shown on the muster roll,July 1814 to February 1815 at Camp Holly. He also served in the Virginia StateLegislature, while commanding the regiment in U.S. service. For this service hewas paid $662.45, in pay, forage, subsistence and clothing.

Known as the "Wheel Horse of Democracy", Charles Yancey was intelligentand had much influence in the legislature. His patriotism and wisdom were attest-ed to by his long service in the Virginia legislature, representing BuckinghamCounty.

Col. Yancey was instrumental in getting the General Assembly to elect PeterFrancisco as sergeant-at -arms of the House of Delegates. Francisco served for 6years and when Peter Francisco died in 1831, it was his old friend Yancey whoinformed the House of Delegates that Peter had died. Charles Yancey died Nov.9, 1857 and was buried in the Horsley Cemetery at Traveler's Rest. His tomb-stone reads:

Planning a Wildlife Gardenhis is a great time to make plans for a wildlife gardenso you can enjoy seeing numerous kinds of critters!

The idea is to provide nesting locations and shelter fromthe weather, as well as food and water. You should replace asmuch lawn area as possible with flowers, native grasses, vines,shrubs, and trees.

Try to create three “layers” of foliage to provide an assort-ment of habitats. Plants that are not very tall, such as flow-ers, grasses, and vines, comprise the shortest layer. Smalltrees and shrubs make up the second or middle layer and thetallest trees and shrubs make up the third layer.

Growing a variety of plants that flower and whose fruitsmature at different times of the year will help create year-round availability of food.

Of course, you have to work with the lay of the land andwith what you already have on your property. For example,lots of big trees would mean your yard is mostly shaded so youwill need to decide whether to grow only shade-loving plantsor whether to cut down some or all of your trees.

Note that sunny areas are much more productive thanshady areas. Many plants require a minimum of four to eighthours of sun to produce flowers and fruits. Far fewer plantsare able to flower and fruit in full shade.

Try to determine the amount of sunshine each area of youryard receives during the growing season (spring through fall)before deciding what to plant where. If you don’t get it quiteright, don’t worry. You can relocate plants if they don’t seemto be doing well.

If your soil tends to stay overly wet or dry, you can chooseplants that will be “happy” to live under those conditions oryou can amend the soil.

Making brush piles and putting up wildlife boxes andshelves will help to provide shelter and nesting sites.

Water, which is essential to all life, can be provided by way

of an artificial pond, but a shallow pan or saucer of cleanwater on the ground will do nicely. If the depth is two inch-es or less, birds will bathe in the water dish, toads will sit in thewater for a drink (toads “drink” by absorbing water throughtheir skin), and various kinds of insects will even perch on theedge for a sip.

Wildlife gardeners get to enjoy beautiful surroundings andfree entertainment, courtesy of the animals that share theyard. It is very satisfying to realize that these creatures areable to coexist with you because you created a welcomingenvironment.

T

n December 6, at the Virginia Association of Soil and Water ConservationDistricts (VASWCD) Annual Banquet held at the Omni Hotel in Richmond,Barbara Teeple, Director for Peter Francisco Soil and Water Conservation

District (SWCD) was awarded the Watersheds Connections Award for a SWCDDirector from the James River Watershed. This award recognizes a Director inthree of Virginia’s major river basins for encouraging SWCDs to work within thewatershed basins. Mrs. Teeple was presented with a plaque naming her an“Outstanding SWCD Director” by Lou Ann Wallace, First Vice President of theVASWCD.

Mrs. Teeple was nominated for this award based on her hands-on approach toassisting with any services that the District offers. Her willingnessto volunteer for anything and everything makes her indispensableto the District.

Barbara Teeple began her term as an appointed District Director,representing Buckingham County, for the Peter Francisco Soil andWater Conservation District in January 2007. Since then, she hasgenerously donated her time to assisting the District staff with var-ious jobs and events, as well as, representing the District at a num-ber of meetings and conferences. Over the past four years, Mrs.Teeple has developed her knowledge of SWCD policies and proce-dures by attending monthly Board of Directors meetings; SWCD Watershed DamSafety Work Group meetings; Area V meetings; the occasional VASWCD Boardmeetings; and VASWCD Annual meetings.

Many of Mrs. Teeple’s involvements have been assisting with many educationalactivities and events that the District has coordinated and hosted. When school edu-cation programs are being conducted and an extra hand is needed, she is always will-ing to help out. The last few years, she has even volunteered to work the VASWCDState Fair booth.

Numerous rain barrel making workshops were held for local citizens, in partner-ship with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, and Mrs. Teeple has been instrumen-tal in assisting with these workshops. She is now an expert at “pre-workshop”organizing (cleaning pickle barrels) and assisting participants with assembling rainbarrels during the hands-on portion of the workshop.

During the District’s Environmental Day Camp for middle school students, whichis held annually during the summer, she acts as a chaperone. She also assists witheducational components of the camp throughout the week. Having an extra,responsible adult to handle certain duties during camp time is often a relief to the

District staff.In 2007 and 2008, the District partnered with Virginia Cooperative Extension

and hosted an environmental over-night camp offered to high school students acrossthe state of Virginia, called A.L.I.V.E. By The James (Adventures in Leadershipthrough Investigation and Visitation in the Environment). Mrs. Teeple was involvedin gathering materials for the hands-on Learning Projects, which campers installedat James River State Park. In 2007, a stream bank stabilization project designed toreduce erosion on the river bank was put in place and in 2008, a wildlife enhance-ment project intended to benefit a migratory water fowl wetland impoundment wascompleted.

Annually, in April and October, the District hosts a SpringDinner and Awards Banquet and a Fall Dinner andInformational Meeting. Mrs. Teeple has been actively involvedin assisting District staff with the set-up, decoration and take-down of the meeting space, along with serving the meals toour local producers and landowners.

The District owns and operates 17 watershed flood controlstructures of which the Districts maintains in accordance withstate and federal laws and regulations. Mrs. Teeple accompa-nies District staff, during the annual fall owner’s inspections.

She is also willing to assist with any extra work that is required on the watersheddams; she has spent hours with District staff assisting with small general mainte-nance, such as, marking trees for removal and rowing the boat across the lake inorder to perform riser inspections and cleanouts.

Her camera is always at the ready to capture instances of District service and sheis constantly volunteering to pick up any materials needed for District programs,while she is out running her own errands. The Peter Francisco SWCD Board ofDirectors and Staff feel that Mrs. Teeple is an asset to her community. She endeav-ors to perform the duties of a Soil and Water Conservation District Director, on alocal level, to the best of her abilities. The words “Thank You” seem inadequate totruly express our appreciation of her support and the various services that she pro-vides Peter Francisco SWCD, all on a voluntary basis.

Other District Directors attending the annual meeting were Chairman, Todd Smithof Cumberland; Vice Chairman, Terry Seal of Cumberland; and David Ball ofBuckingham. District staff that also attended were Sherry Ragland,Administrative Assistant and Kelly Jones Snoddy, Conservation Specialist.

Buckingham county water system receivesnational recognition

Buckingham native Tommy Lightfoot GarrettStarts New Publication in Beverly Hills

The Virginia Department of Health has announced that the Buckingham Countywater system received a Water Fluoridation Quality Award from the U.S. Centersfor

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The award recognizes community watersystems that meta number of stringent community water fluoridation requirementsthroughout 2010.

Fluoridation adjusts the amount of fluoride in the water to optimal levels for pre-venting tooth decay. The CDC identifies community water fluoridation as one of10 great public health achievements of the 20th Century, and as one of the mosteffective public health measures to prevent tooth decay. CDC recommends waterfluoridation as a safe, effective, and inexpensive method of preventing decay; every$1 invested in fluoridation saves approximately $38 in costs for dental treatment.In addition, studies have shown that fluoridation helps prevent tooth decay amongadults as well as children.

In 2008, more than 195 million people, or 72.4 percent of the United Statespopulation served by public water supplies, consumed drinking water with optimalfluoride levels for preventing decay. "Thanks to the efforts of communities inVirginia, community water fluoridation reaches more than 80 percent of resi-dents," said Dental Health Programs Manager Karen C. Day, DDS, MS, MPH.This exceeds the national objective of reaching 75 percent of residents. "By pro-viding optimal levels of fluoride in their water supplies, these communities are help-ing to improve the health of their citizens as well as reduce the costs associatedwith tooth decay."

If you believe that the end of the world willoccur this year, I have some questions for you.

First: Did you make any New Year’s resolu-tions and if so, what are they?

Wait, I don’t know if I want the answer to thatbecause it’s going to make my resolutions lookreally lame. If you think that you only have 12months to live, you’re going to run up yourMasterCard traveling the world eating and livingwith Kardashian abandon or get all pious andabandon all your material belongings andbathing habits while praying for our salvation.

Me, I’ve resolved to stretch in the morning.Daily.*

Before I launch into the next question, let meexplain the Maya/Mayan Prophecy: A calen-dar drawn up by the people who made thefunky-looking pyramids in Mexico and CentralAmerica supposedly predicted that the worldwould explode, implode, and then simply“plode” in a spectacular array of catastrophicevents on December 21, 2012. Their civilization existed from 250 A.D. to 900A.D. – long before the current “App” period – but nonetheless are renowned fortheir astronomical insight. The Maya correctly figured out that Earth wobbles on itsaxis as it spins and once about every 25,800 years or so, the sun aligns with thecenter of the Milky Way galaxy on winter solstice. If the Maya Prophecy is right,December 21 will be the shortest day of the year but feel like the longest for astron-

omists and Mayans who will spend every waking minuteexplaining and assuring the media that the Mayans never saidthe world would end December 21, 2012 – they just said it’sa time when the universe will rebalance itself, that’s all. Thisis all based on an iStone tablet that said a Mayan god will riseon December 21, 2012. The rest of it says, “…or maybe not”for all we know because it’s cracked and illegible.

But who are you going to believe, a bunch of Mayans andscientists or Britney Spears and Woody Harrelson, who areamong the many celebrity believers in the doomsday prophe-cy, according to December212012.com, “the official site” of… freaking out about December 21, 2012.

Will it be a good year to try yoga and assemble an emer-gency kit for your car and home?

Heck ya!But 2011 was a good year to do that, too. So were all the

years before that and the years to come, too.Would it be a good idea to live 2012 like it’s your last year

on the planet?You betcha! Ask that person out, write that novel, compete

in that race, go for that dream job, travel to that place you’vealways wanted to visit, be kinder to your neighbors, friends, family and self, treatyourself every now and then but whatever you do, don’t go overboard because it’snot wise to spend your last days feeling like a bloated sea cow dressed in your elas-tic pair of “cookie pants.”

*Realistically, I’m aiming to stretch 3-4 days a week. I added “daily” to make itlook more impressive but like the Mayan Prophecy, that ain’t gonna happen.

A good way to start gardening is with one 20 to 25 gallon nursery planting pot.No need for any power tools, or even a shovel; just a trowel or at least a strong stick.To begin with a 20-foot by 20-foot piece of ground or even a 10-foot by 10-footplot is to start out behind. Working in the heat and humidity of a Virginia summeris daunting and it might be hard to stick with it long enough to reap any reward.Invest in one large plastic pot, some gravel, some potting soil, a small number ofseeds, a bit of screen and a tomato cage or five feet of fencing formed into a ring.

This large pot will not be easily moved so place it in a sunny spot. Put 2 to 3-inch-es of gravel in the bottom for drainage. Styrofoam peanuts or even squashed plas-tic milk jugs can be used. However, gravel will keep the pot from tipping when plantsget large and tall. Add a circle of screen or landscape cloth to keep soil from beinglost through the gravel. Mix the soil with water in a trashcan to get it thoroughlymoist before putting it in the pot. Fill with soil mix to two inches below the rim.Some dirt can be mixed in for different consistency but at least half should be pot-ting soil to ensure drainage. Without good drainage, soil becomes sour and seedsand plants will rot. Some potting soils have time-release fertilizer mixed in. If not,add some fertilizer or use a water-soluble kind during the season. Water retentionglobules are optional. Water the pot until water runs out of the bottom holes. Thenit is ready for planting.

In March, plant lettuce seeds or plants near the edge and put a tomato cage in themiddle. Plant a row of peas – one every 4-inches – at the base of the cage. Waterevery other day for a week, then twice a week or whenever the soil is dry three-inch-es down. If this food can be ‘brought to table’, as Thomas Jefferson would say, dis-card the spent plant debris and plant a tomato plant in the middle of the cage. Pinchoff the bottom leaves and plant it deep so that only the top three leaves are show-ing. A basil plant or parsley or cilantro can be added at the edge. This is enough. Ifall goes well and the tomato produces, plan to add three more pots next season.

In the next year of gardening, plant one potato in the second pot. This time addonly 5 to 6-inches of soil, place the potato in the middle, add a little fertilizer and

cover with 5-inches of soil. When the potato plant grows to be 5-inches tall, addmore soil, leaving the top leaves and a bit of stem showing. Repeat until the pot isfull. When the plant has finished blooming and begins to turn brown, it is time toharvest. Plant a cabbage or a broccoli plant in the third pot with some onion setsaround the edge. Put four bush bean seeds in the fourth pot. If pole beans are used,tie four 5-inch bamboo poles at the top to form a pyramid for support and stick itinto the pot at least a foot deep. Inspect plants daily and pick off any insects whichmight be feeding; very little weeding is needed. As the veggies get eaten, discardspent plant debris and replant with a fall vegetable; a few pumpkin seeds planted inlate July for October fruit or a brussel sprout planted in late August get sweeter whencold weather comes in. Plant a ring of spinach seeds around the edge. If any of this‘comes to table,’ a raised bed can be planned for the following year. Don’t discardthe pots as they will be forever useful for flowers along the edge of a patio or driveway.

Flowers susceptible to being eaten by creatures are best planted in pots. Tulips orAsian lilies are particular favorites of squirrels so they are perfect for these pots andwill return season after season. Add any variety of annuals such as wave petunias orlantana or violas, which spill over the sides and fill in when bulbs are finished.Remove perennial foliage only when it has turned brown. Solar lights can be stuckin to add some delight to summer nights and comfort during early winter darkness.

Over time, garden size can be increased according to resources of time and ener-gy but at the end of life’s gardening season, as the perimeters of attendance closein, it is time to return to pot gardening. When the rake and hoe are in disuse andthe patio is as far outdoors as one can get, use these pots again to plant a few let-tuces and a few beans, one tomato and, perhaps, a squash. Success at gardeningwill give much satisfaction and a lifetime of good eating.
