Who will we get our fresh vegetable's and Collards from now. Phillip was hard to those that didn't know him well, but he was someone that would do anything for you if he knew and liked you. He was tough as they came, a fighter of a terrible disease , and a green thumb with all his plants . We will miss his vegetable garden come spring.. RIP Phillip...
