GHOST IN GARDEN
ONE EVENING MY BROTHER AND I WERE TAKING THE GARBAGE OUT TO THE
ALLEY. WE HAD ALMOST REACHED THE HOUSE WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE
NEAR THE GARDEN. WE LOOKED AROUND AND SAW A VERY OLD MAN
PICKING TOMATOES OUT OF THE GARDEN. HE WAS VERY WHITE AND SCARY
LOOKING. HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING, ALL HE DID WAS SMILE AND KEEP
PICKING THINGS OUT OF THE GARDEN. ME AND MY BROTHER GOT VERY
SCARED AND RAN TOWARDS THE HOUSE. RIGHT BEFORE WE GOT IN THE
HOUSE, WE LOOKED BACK, BUT THE MAN WAS GONE. WE RAN IN OUR HOUSE
AND TOLD OUR MOM AND DAD WHAT WE SAW. WHEN WE DESCRIBED WHAT THE MAN
LOOKED LIKE, THEY SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE MAN WHO USED TO
TO LIVE THERE. THEY SAID THAT HE USED TO KEEP A GARDEN RIGHT WHERE
WE KEPT OURS. THEY SAID THAT HE HAD DIED IN OUR HOUSE MANY YEARS
AGO.

Truckpatch
Most Afro-Americans in the south during the 1930's had great
self pride. However, they had to eat. For this particular
family there were 16 people under one two-room roof shack. Okra
was always left in the ice box; it was a substitute for meat.
Neighbors would come by to bring different items grown from their
truckpatch, but would always say that they had too much and
didn't want it to go to waste. Foods such as sweet potatoes,
pinto beans and rice were brought. Everything was usually cooked
together in one pot and would last for up to three weeks. The
pinto beans were saved mostly because they were good for at least
three more swellings.

Cemetery Practices:
When the informant was a child, he said that one made a day out of a trip to the cemetary. People carried their own sprinkling cans, their own shears for cutting the grass around the gravesite, their own garden tools to plant their own flowers. Most of the time you would take a lunch with you and eat it under the trees at the cemetery.

Super
Plant beans when the moon sign is in the arm. If you do, beans will hang out heavy with many pods like fingers. Otherwise the beans will be shaded inside under the leaves and there will not be as many pods.

FLOWERDAYS AND BEANS
YOU ARE NOT TO PLANT BEANS DURING THE FLOWERDAYS. ( AGAIN
MY FATHER COULD NOT REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC TIME). MY GRANDFATHER
PLANTED A ROW OF BEANS DURING THE FLOWERDAYS AND ANOTHER AFTER THE
DAYS WERE PAST. THE ROW PLANTED DURING THE DAYS GREW WITH AN
ABUNDANCE OF BLOSSOMS BUT VERY FEW BEANS. THE ROW PLANTED AFTER
THE FLOWERDAYS GREW WITH FEW BLOSSOMS BUT WITH AN ABUNDANCE
OF BEANS.
