He maintains a garden behind his house at the corner of First and Graham streets which he says that he plowed himself with a garden tiller. He has flowers of all types lining his front porch. Shrubbery, peppers and cherry tomatoes surround "Exercise in that garden keeps me going. I do a whole lot of work out there and been doing it." -- George Cathey his house as thick as a forest. The only ailment Cathey says he has is arthritis. Cathey says that he and his late wife had always had a garden. "I've been saying for four years that I wasn't going to have a garden," says Cathey.

What does one person do with all of this abundance of fruit and vegetables? He cans the fruit and peppers and makes peppei vinegar. Cathey says that the year before last, he made 50 bottles of pepper vinegar. Due to eye surgery last year, he could not make any pepper vinegar. He makes chow-chow, a vegetable relish, from the green tomatoes and peppers. He says that he also gives the food away when DeoDle stOD bv for a visit. He has four sisters in Charlotte, and he says that he always gives them chow-chow. Out of this year's tomato crop, Cathey has a tomato which he says originally weighed 2 pounds but has shrunk to Wi pounds. He says that he doesn't know why the tomato shrank. Cathey says that this is the largest vegetable he has ever grown. He says that no special fertilizer or anything was used to grow it. The plant was given to him by his nephew and is known as a Big Red. Constantly referring to his wife as "the madame," Cathey tells the story of how his wife was at a Big Star grocery store and heard a shopper saying she couldn't find something she was looking for in the store. He says that his wife told the shopper to come to her car because she had what the shopper needed in the trunk.
