3. Hi Tipper and Acorns. TY for last evenings video. I enjoy the little winters. It has been great to see y’all eating from your fall garden all winter. Where did the Malamar spinach come from? I know it was a gift from Corie. I keep everyone here and up Wilson Hollow in my prayers. I love y’all.

      1. It’s a vining type. Red stems and not as quick to bolt in warm weather

   2. Thank you Barbara! I bought the Malabar spinach several years ago and planted it and it reseeds itself every year now 🙂 That’s in the summer garden though. You might be thinking about the Tatsoi that we planted in the fall garden. Corie did buy that from me, I believe it came from Baker Creek Seeds. It was supposed to hold up to cold temperatures, but it didn’t do as well as the kale 🙂

4. Not relevant to today’s post, but I must congratulate you on the recent interview on Celebrating Appalachia. John’s uncle was born the same year as my Pa.

   I liked the way that he (nor his uncle) cast any shame toward moonshiners. I suspect that the government spent far more money pursuing them than they would have collected in whisky taxes on the productds they produced.

   Thanks for the interview.

   1. There is much speculation that the revenuers were engaged in the same illicit operations as their quarries. Their strategy was to gain the trust of the government and use it to knock out the competition.

5. Sounds like you were quoting me

6. I have heard get shut of more than shed of. I can remember my mother and a neighbor gossiping when I was little with the neighbor saying well, she finally got shut of him. May have been the first time I understood what it meant.

7. Hmmm whatever the subject was, it sounds serious. I can just hear my Grandma saying something similar, except she would have said “get shet of” whatever it was. I miss her. She was a little bitty dark haired, dark-eyed woman and tough as a pine knot. She was not a talker and did not sing around the house. She didn’t show much emotion either except the time my Dad got bad hurt.

8. I’ve also heard “get shet” and “get shut” of it.

9. “Shed of” -haven’t heard that oldie but Goldie in many moons and I had almost forgotten this hillbilly term. I’d like to be shed of a few things myself come to think of it!!! I reckon that’s how stuff gets donated to charities and sold off is because folks need “shed of” too much clutter. It’s a great term and I will use it more! Have a beautiful Saturday and chillax! My game plan is to set outside ifn I can. I really ain’t got nowhere or nothing in particular going on and that’s just the way I LOVE it!!!! Let’s pray for all the world and the sun to shine in men’s hearts and souls…

11. Sounds like a vehicle we had once that turned into a money pit so we got shed of it finally.
