"It's nice to stay put," Sybil Gillette declares. "It was frustrating - every time we got the soil built up, we'd move and start over." For several years she sold organically grown vegetables, marketing 1500 pounds of pickling-size cucumbers in one year. She discontinued her commercial venture two years ago in order to devote more time to flowers and landscaping. A quarter-of-an-acre vegetable patch provides ample produce for freezing and canning, while borders and beds of flowers beautify the premises. An ornamental pool was built by Mrs. Gillette, who mows an acre of lawn. "I was an organic gardener long before I knew what organic gardening was," states Sybil Gillette. "I have never believed in the use of chemicals. "I'm sure," she continues, "that what is bad for an earthworm can't be very good for people. Vegetables surely must absorb a certain amount of poisonous material, and the soil is soon contaminated, too." "A bug may eat a vegetable," Sybil explains, "but another bug will come along and eat the first bug - providing we don't kill them off." Mrs. Gillette, who has a daughter, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with another on the way, learned to swim under the tutorship of Joan Woodard, beginning lessons in March. She now swims three times each week. "I'd rather dive than eat," she laughs. One packet of seed yielded the 42 border dahlia plants in varied colors, 14 blooms of which were entered in the fair.
