That sure brings back memories. <BR/><BR/>I especially remember the time that my dad and brother decided to bury the potatoes like they did in the old days instead of putting them in the basement. They argued over the depth, and the one advocating the shorter depth won, on the basis that it's never frozen that deep before. Wouldn't you know it? We had the hardest freeze ever that winter, which completely ruined my parents' potato harvest. After that, they were kept back in the basement or in the dirt floor of the barn.MountainLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512030002803787636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22156824.post-85232759982814336352007-05-13T13:49:00.000-04:002007-05-13T13:49:00.000-04:00Thanks for linking to my post.

I've long felt that Appalachia's agrarian economy is one that is important but often overlooked.<BR/><BR/>It's great to see it getting some attention here.Jeremy Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105906795034172230noreply@blogger.com
