| Abstract | The Pennsylvania German garden under consideration here is not the elaborate pleasure garden so often described in histories of gardening, but the farm kitchen garden containing vegetables, culinary herbs, flowers and medicinal plants. Discusses fencing the garden and whitewashing the fence; garden layout and tilling; "planting by the signs"; "the planting and care of onions"; "peas, cucumbers, and grapes"; "the growing of hops"; plants associated with a typical garden; weeding and watering techniques; "burying vegetables for winter use"; seed production; and "scarecrows and other deterrents." |
