The privacy fence merely existed to keep the two gardeners from letting their bounty take over the other's yard.  Eldina loved squash and planted a bounty of it each spring and shared with all of the neighbors.  When one of her vines crept into Mabel's yard, it was trimmed back and any and all blossoms were nipped immediately. Eldina did the same to Mabel's eggplants.

The Victory gardens their mother set up decades and decades ago were tended by the two women.  Home grown vegetables had taste and texture.  Local flowers a more pungent smell.  What had begun on behalf of the war effort and to extend food rations became a labor of love.

Too bad neither woman actually enjoyed their produce.  At least the food bank was well stocked.
