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.
