GEORGE HOLLAND ADMIRES .Florida Broad leaf mustard Growing Vegetables Isn’t Just A Hobby For George Holland Dy busan Ellsworth Post Staff Writer Growing vegetables isn’t just a hobby for George Holland of Char lotte; it’s a way of life. Raised on a 200-acre farm in South Carolina, Holland has continued growing vegetables in his own gard ens. “I’ve had a garden all my life," Holland said. “It doesn’t make sense to buy vegetables when you can raise them cheaper.” For 25 years, Holland, a landscap er had plowed gardens for people. Holland has also maintained his own gardens near his home on Condon Street off Oaklawn for 16 years. His organic gardens fertilized with cottonseed mill and applied with a farm tractor yield enough turnip greens, okra, tomatoes sweet pot atoes, onions and other assorted greens to feed his family, and neighbors willing to pick the veget ables themselves. Dannelly, Leeper Have Varying Opinions About Issues continued from page l missed. “There’s no question about it,” Leeper began, “It will cause people to have a limited number of Blacks and more burden will be place on Charlie and me." Dannelly agreed, "Yes, Harvey will be missed, mainly because of his knowledge and capabilities.” uespite the loss of Gantt, Dannelly and Leeper feel they will be able to meet the needs of the Black immunity Leeper said he will continue to voice his concerns and be vigilant over discussions. Dannelly said that he was pressured to run at large (but decided to stick with district because of lack of time), which proved his affectiveness on the council both in the Black community and the community at large. A personal concern for Charlotte outlined by Dannelly included better I jobs for the underpnviledged, "They aren't looking for handouts, they are looking for decent work," he said. He also wants more decent housing for poor and public housing in scattered sights Leeper plans to be an active part of a massive voter registration drive which will enhance the Black vote turnout and in turn elect more Black leaders. And finally, the councilmen's views on the Greensboro situation: “I’m definitely anti-Communist,” Dannelly said, "We should not give the Communist or Klan any publicity. We should keep our eyes open so that this will not happen in Charlotte.’’ Leeper feels, "While Blacks certainly have to be involved in freedom and people opposed to our freedom - we should be cautious about types we pick as allies, as opposed to allowing people to pick us as allies.11 Although he gives most of his garden vegetables away, Holland said he charges a small amount for large quantities to be used for freezing. Growing knee-high turnip greens with leaves larger than a hand is not difficult to do, according to Holland This Charlotte gardener said he spends only 30 minutes to an hour at a time in his garden when he thinks its necessary. “I fix the ground right. Put them out (the vegetables) and then forget about them,” Holland said. In offering hints for having a healthy garden Holland recom mended never plowing the ground when its wet. and knowing what vegetables to plant and when to plant them. Holland is married and has a ten-year-old son who assists his father with gardening duties. I ~ ' I 1980 SUNBIRD ■ Sun bud Coup* JM STOCK #117 ■ M994501 ^— .
