real gardening

I finished reading “Letters of a woman Homesteader.” by Elinore Pruitt Stewart.

Read it on my smart phone.

In 1912, she wrote about her garden, planted that year.

After harvest she writes: “Our cellar (is) full, and this is what we have: Two tons of potatoes, half a ton of carrots, a large bin of beets, one of turnips and one of onions, one of parsnips and on the other side of the cellar we have more than a hundred heads of cabbage.”

That is serious gardening.
