How does his garden grow? Work, luck

Selby Thames, 83, puts away his tiller after working on his garden on York Street in East Toledo, where he grows a variety of vegetables. ‘You name it, I plant it,’ he says. In 1940, he plowed some of this area for an uncle and, as he says, ‘I'm still farming.’ He has snow peas in and is set to get them growing. ‘I’ll have it up, if it’s God’s will.’
