The Witness
Grandfather's Garden
📍 Slavonski Brod, Croatia · 👤 Story by Marija
In short (English)An 81-year-old gardener no longer knows when to plant. A frost took the beans he had sown two weeks early because the ground was already warm.
My grandfather has kept the same garden for fifty years. He knows it the way you know a room in the dark. This spring he planted the beans two weeks earlier than his father ever did, because the ground was already warm — and then a frost came in the middle of April and took them anyway.
