Narrative
Anecdotal Info from owner: These were saved for generations, and handed down by Nancy Malone Wheat (b. 1912, d. 2000) to her daughter, Annie, who married MacArthur (white man, age 64 and named for General MacArthur, "since I was born in 1942"). "Mac" does all he can to keep himself independent - working as an independent flooring contractor, and growing as much food as he can. He operates his sloping 30 x 30 ft garden simply - the only chemical he uses is fertilizer (uses Miracle-Gro, and also nitrate of soda). To keep the bugs off his collards he uses "dish detergent, which works just fine." He weeds the garden every day with a 3-pronged rake, and waters it if it's too dry. He won't begin picking collard leaves until after 2 or 3 frosts have hit them - "that's when they are best." He pulls out some plants in March and sets them out in the woods to feed the deer. Once Mac grew rutabagas and cut the greens from them and cooked them like he does his collards, then fed them to his friends, who said, "Mac, these are some excellent collards!" He said, "Those aren't collards! They're rutabagas! You thought I'd give you my good greens?!!" So now he sometimes grows rutabagas and eats the roots and the greens.
