My mom didn't grow any vegetables aside from a few tomatoes. She had roses, daffodils, hydrangeas, etc. but she was too busy raising the four of us and tending my dad's roofing business aside from cleaning/cooking/shopping and the weekly ironing on the mangle (I still have it but can't recall the last time I ironed anything!). My mom's was mahogany but this is what it looks like for anyone who never saw one.
