An Appalachian farmer's almanac, ';Planting by the Signs' is a valuable resource for the gardener looking for time-honored tips for clearing land and growing vegetables from thepeople who originally pioneered the art through hard work (and a little bit of luck). In the spirit of the Foxfire Americana Library, this entry also contains a collection of gardening-related folklore, including signs to tell that winter is coming and a guide to planting successfully according to the stars.
