Answer: Himself

When he finally shows his "proof" picture, no one knows what to think, as it is a picture of Uncle Nate himself. But he says, "Dag-blast, SHE took the picture." No one quite knows what to say after that.

Answer: A crop duster

At first Zinny is annoyed that her father wants to see how she's doing, but then she realizes he's just doing it because he cares about her.

14. Where does the Bybanks-Chocton trail end?

Answer: In the mayor of Chocton's garden

To end the trail, Zinny has to dig up some of the mayor's prize-winning lavender border. At first the mayor is not too happy, but when she tells him it's a historic trail, he perks up a bit.

15. What "grew" out of the chicken eggs Ben planted in his garden?

Answer: Chicory

When Ben was little, he asked Aunt Jessie how to grow "the other kind of beans," meaning human "beans." For a project for school he decided to see what, if anything, would grow from chicken eggs. To humor him, Zinny's dad planted chicory in the same place, and Ben believed that the CHICory had grown from the CHICKen eggs.
