The Rural Voice, 1979-09, Page 34heartnut trees, which yield a fruit that
tastes like a cross between walnuts and
brazil nuts. He first thought about planting
nuts when he read an article looking for
anyone interested in the project. It was a
request from a "nut club."
"1 guess the name appealed to me," he
laughed.
CABBAGE CROP
Mr. Gottschall plans to keep his cabbage
crop, stored in a new brown building, over
the winter. The cauliflower, broccoli, and
sweet corn he will ship. He hopes to get the
winter cabbage off by the middle of
October. Last year, he was still picking on
Nov 27
Out in the field, he points out the
difference between the cabbages he
planted as seeds June 8, and the seedling
cabbages he planted 10 days ago. The
seedlings, weedless, are three times the
size of the seed cabbages he planted
earlier.
He looks critically at the field planted in
broccoli, not yet showing through the soil.
They had been planted two weeks earlier,
but there had been no rain.
His third problem, he said, is lack of
knowledge -- "ignorance" on his part. But
he got into vegetable farming because the
returns were good and expects to learn
more from each season.
