Part Eleven: She made bread every day. Usually, we had biscuits with breakfast and cornbread with supper. We had every kind of vegetable imaginable, fresh in the summer and canned in the winter. That land on the river was the land of plenty! During the growing season, we had lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, radishes, cucumbers for dinner and supper every day.

Mom always saved seeds from her vegetables to plant the next year.
