My mom ironed everything also but she just used a regular iron. Sometimes I would do the ironing just to make it easier on her. But me for myself, I never iron anything.
My mom had a strawberry bed and also raspberries. Oh and she had gooseberry and red currant bushes. For veggies she grew a fair amount of tomatoes. Plus she grew cucumbers only she let them trail on the ground. Shelling peas. Then she grew herbs of parsley and dill. Plus she grew carrots.
Lots of things she didn't grow. Certainly not the favorites lots of people grow of eggplant and summer squashes. Peppers she didn't grow when I was young but later in life she planted a few pepper plants each year. But the staples to grow were tomatoes and then cucumbers.
