TACKING with Wednesday October 19 1966 THE FLAVOR OF A GREEN HOUSE MOSCOW CP In Russia which has almost one seventh ofl all the worlds land what do you do when you want enough dirt to fill a flowerpot In Moscow you do what many Russians do You drive off to the fields around the city and help yourself After all theres no private property any more This excursion solved one of the problems for my flowerlov ing wife In a metropolis where there are hardly any private gardens such as are found in any backyard in Canada Moscow almost entirely lives in apartments In the morning as the sun pours over nearby rooftops my wife Joan opens a small side door to our 12thfloor apartment and steps out on the small bal cony She pours water from a large bottle into three long rectangu lar boxes and a few earthen pots Then she steps back into the doorway to survey raptur ously the vivid flowers that overflow their containers to give the square ugly balcony the flavor of a greenhouse The dally ritual epitomizes gardening in Moscow where the average balcony measures about 10 feet long by 30 Inches wide A rusty iron railing contains bars standing about 40 inches high Its a good thing flowers are not claustrophobic On our balcony 10 different varieties blow and bloom Some come from seeds some from plants obtained at a state store and one a handsome geranium 9 Gardening Moscow Style
