We're still harvesting from the summer garden and managed to plant a few things for our fall garden. Growing food to feed our family here in the Appalachian Mountains is one of our greatest joys!

I have a photo of my father in the first grade, lined up with his classmates. It was taken at the small school in the little coal mining town in Tennessee, where he lived. My mother had enlargements made of just my dad for the five of us. I was delighted to see that in the pocket of his overalls he had a slingshot. I still have and cherish that photo.

Matt and I would have been soul mates in school. When I was 14 I got a .22 single shot for Christmas. I still recall setting in class and waiting for 3:00. Then, I was out the door and ran home and got the rifle and went to the woods. It was near dark before I got home. My grandma would fix the squirrels and rabbits I shot. It was just her and I and we ate like royalty. If you get deer in the garden, drive some stakes into the ground and string monofilament fishing line about two feet from the ground. Deer get spooked because they can feel that line touching them but they can't see it. Old photos are fun to look at. Love these posts.

Here in zone 4b, our fall garden has to be done by mid-october. We can get frost as early as September, but by October, temps drop into the teens and 20's at night. Do you ever grow parsnips? My uncle loves them, but I have not been able to grow them successfully yet. I remember when my family lived on a property with black walnut trees. We'd pick them up and put them in the cement mixer with a shovel of gravel and water. Dad would run the mixer for an hour or so, then he had a wheelbarrow with a hole in it (from rust) and he would dump the walnut/gravel into. The water was black, our hands would be black picking the walnuts out of the wheelbarrow, and once done, Dad would take and dump the gravel and walnut husks out at the end of the driveway. The walnuts were nice and smooth and in the winter, we'd crack walnuts for Christmas goodies. Do you enjoy hickory nuts? I love hickory and pecans the best. Sadly, pecans don't grow here.
