By TBGDN | My memories of the years when I was a young lad are full of scenes relating to autumn harvests of staple foods from the fields and gardens. It was considered wasteful, even sinful, back then not to plan ahead and prepare for the coming winter months. This activity began in the mid-summer months, but it accelerated rapidly as we moved into late summer and early fall. |
I will leave this open to others who might see this question. Meanwhile I've run across a couple links that look very promising. Hope this helps! And maybe someone with experience will jump in here too.
