Description Old Toby is out there on his fields checking up on his crops.
There's a new plant, he got the seeds from someone out of the south,
doesen't really remember from whom, but he heard that you could smoke this stuff.
Now he's looking at the plants, surprised at how much they've grown in such a short period.
And he wonders. Can you really smoke this stuff? Or what else could you do with it? Was it all a waste of time?
Well, time will tell ...
