[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 2580058, member: 32877"] Growing up we planted HUGE gardens. Half acre of corn, 60 or more tomato plants, 1/8 acre of black eye peas, get my drift? He would start Okra at three different plantings, as when the first planting was or has been picked a few times, they stop producing as much, and then the second planting was starting to produce and be younger plants etc. etc. He would do this with Okra and Turnips if memory serves. We had a root cellar that was around 600sq ft and lined with shelves like a parts store, grandma, my mom and several aunts would all can, all summer long, we very seldom went to a grocery store. We had milk, meat, vegetable's, and a fruit orchard on both grandparents farms, and ours. Only staples like sugar, coffee, etc was bought from town. I am not that old, but I was 17 years old when I saw my first store bought milk carton, my mom brought home a half gallon of milk from the store in a paper carton, as we were having guests over one time from her school years and she wanted to have store milk for them, for some reason. To this day, I still shake the milk when I get it out of the fridge, to stir up the cream. LOL! [/QUOTE]
