"The first time I ate a potato right from the ground I cried," Charlotte said as she helped me plant some runners.
We talked about compost and putting up a fence while barefoot children ran beneath the orange, setting sun.
"My mother-in-law's carrots are as big as my fist," she said clenching her dirty fingers and shaking it through the cool night.
"My mother-in-law's tomatoes are known to make grown men weep," I countered.
I mentioned seeking out rotten horse manure and she did a little dance.
"Mix it in real good," she said, bending over to turn an imaginary shovel, "Real good."
