Thank you Alli! I would be very interested in learning about the gardening. We have been planting non-GMOs, organic fertilizer, and no insecticides nor herbicides with hope maybe there are still some of the old tried and true methods and vegetables and fruits that have not been tampered with, around. Thanks again.

So I thought with spring slowly looming near that maybe those who are aware of the Native crops that we had in this country before the Europeans started farming...would share them. I remember some of them, but not all. I started to read (online) a book about Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden she was of the Hidatsa Indian Tribe. She speaks of how she/they did grew their garden with what tools, the veggies they grew, the ones that others grew that they were introduced to from other tribes, like watermelon. Anyway...I was wondering if anyone knows what the Cherokee people raised? ======*====== List archives http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=cherokee ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CHEROKEE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Your welcome Barbara..... I'm hoping more will come forth that know more then me :) I will post some parts from Buffalo Bird Woman's book & see how many people have done similar as children or grew up hearing of it. :) -----Original Message----- From: cherokee-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cherokee-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Barbara Young Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2014 5:40 AM To: cherokee@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] Crops Thank you Alli!
