Narrative
Anecdotal Info from owner: Mr. Malone is a 63-year old white man, who gardens with his son Charles, age 43. Charles helps a lot since he is mentally challenged and cannot hold a regular job. This fenced garden is about a quarter acre and its plants are impressive. The yard is informal and clearly that of a low-income family. Mr. Malone has some very well-nurtured soil. The purple collards are very large and healthy. He got the seed two years ago from his friend, Mr. Mac Walter, so they are much like Mac's, he assumes. The plants are started in paper cups, and then transplanted into the garden in late July. The collards are fertilized (13-10-13) and watered daily in the fall by a hose, and son Charles carefully removes all insects by hand (no chemicals are used). Some of the collards are clipped of their blossoms and allowed to grow over a two year period, so they are about 4 feet tall.
