African-American Gardens - Design and Development: Part 2

» jerrib - I am learning a lot I didn't

know about slaves and their "yards" vs gardens. I found it interesting, from one of your links, that African slaves brought yams and okra to America. And how interesting they "swept" their yards, that being a status symbol.

Your links are full of great info, Georgene.

Now on to Part III.

Jerri,

I am glad you are taking time to look at some links...ah...the temptations I have to go off on tangents I really have to discipline myself...

It is really amazing how the "swept yard" evolved from a practical African tradition to a "status symbol" here in N.A.
