Hi, William

Thanks for the information!  I have some Richards
ancestors from your part of the world, I believe.  An
interesting place, in its very own way.

I guess the planting of potatoes would have had to
wait until after the exploration of the New World,
right?  Parsnips have been around a while, though. 
Have to plant those when the Moon is waning.  Smile.

Warmly,

Pam
