Every year, spring enticed me with visions of succulent harvests. Yet the Army seemed to have no sympathy for my gardening attempts. Each year I planted my garden, but by the time it broke ground, I was uprooted.

Then I received word that I was to be transferred to Fort Huachuca, Ariz. Away from family, friends, and familiar surroundings, I felt as desolate as the desert scenery. But when I entered my quarters, I discovered that the entire 22-foot length of one wall was floor- to-ceiling glass, perfect for a greenhouse. Taped to one corner was this note from the former occupant:

"Outside this window are nine scraggly plants. Right now they look like weeds, but soon they will be full of tomatoes. Since I can't be here to care for them, I'm hoping you might do it.

"Enjoy the tomatoes for me!"
