My mom had told me just yesterday that they used to leave the carrots in the
ground to store (as northern wisconsin as you can get).... but surely they
removed them before the worst of winter started.  It was some serious snow
country up there.
 
The farm had an outhouse up until about 1960.  Before I was born, and until
my grandmother died, the food was canned and kept in the dirt floor basement
on rows and rows of shelves, potatos were piled up in one corner.  Wood in
another (and I did my share of splitting logs in the basement for the wood
burning kitchen stove and the wood burning heater in the living room).  I
don't remember canning the carrots as a kid, although I do remember they were
planted.
 
OK, so on this year's list of experiments to be conducted will be to leave
some of the potatos & carrots in the ground.... :-)  I know my onions are
still coming up as is the garlic.  LOL, but the worst of winter temps hasn't
arrived yet.
I would have loved to have purchased the farm from those that inherited it,
excep the closest town had outlawed farming if you were within "town limits"
if you had stopped farming for X number of years - which occurred by the time
my grandmother died.  The Town was 13 miles away !  Jerks.  That farm was
awesome in location and had a river going thru it, blueberry patches, and
good soil.  This same town wanted those 13 miles away to go on a sewer system
also (and pay a fortune up front..........)

I've tried wintering potatoes and leeks in the garden. I don't know how
they
did, because even with a huge pile of mulch on top, the ground freezes
2-3-4 feet down, so I can't get them out. By spring the leeks went mushy,
and the potatoes sprouted.

Did you ever see the movie. Quest for Fire?  About cave man days - the movie
with no words, only grunts?
 
I don't think they were brainwashed by TV back then, but clearly even back
then there were tribes always trying to steal the production or food & other
supplies of other tribes.

I don't think the type of greed we see here in the U.S. is generally
motivated by anything but, well, baser instincts. Greed <g> It is the
direct result of a society that is brainwashed into being consumeristic and
keep up with the Jones as the norm.

Unless you think that fear is that someone else might die with more toys.

Greed can also be an outgrowth of love of money..

I think fear is motivation. Fear of failure, starvation, homelessness,
fear of pollution, fear of your neighbor, fear of traffic....

He was re-elcted the same way BO was elected to the U.S. Senate, and every
other Chicago pol has been elected for some years. He was the 'choice' of
the corrupt political machine.

p.s. Doe IL have a Lt. Gov? AZ does not.............
