Free Downloads Planting By The Signs: Mountain Gardening: The Foxfire Americana Library (10)
An Appalachian farmer’s almanac, “Planting by the Signs” is a valuable resource for the gardener looking for time-honored tips for clearing land and growing vegetables from the people who originally pioneered the art through hard work (and a little bit of luck). In the spirit of the Foxfire Americana Library, this entry also contains a collection of gardening-related folklore, including signs to tell that winter is coming and a guide to planting successfully according to the stars. Foxfire has brought the philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers, teaching creative self-sufficiency and preserving the stories, crafts, and customs of Appalachia. Inspiring and practical, this classic series has become an American institution. In July 2016, Vintage Shorts celebrates Foxfire's 50th Anniversary.

Educator Eliot Wigginton's Rabun Co., GA high school students gathered first-hand accounts of Appalachian pioneer culture just before these living treasuries passed forever beyond our reach. You'll gain an appreciation for a hearty people who've lived close to the earth, learning what Mother Nature was willing to teach, passing those mysteries down by word-of-mouth, generation-to-generation . . . fascinating stuff, it'll enrich your life.
So much historical information in this book. I'm an avid gardener and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the information presented. The people interviewed reminded me of my grandparents here in the Ozarks. Great reading!
I like to read the Foxkire books because there is always extra info.. As we read of ways it was done we can see ways to do it now. The old ways had reasons behind what they did, if we can improve our lot with their knowledge look how much farther ahead we can be.
Good but not exactly what I was looking for
