Ask the Old Farmer: A late-season snowstorm used to be re
ferred to as 'poor man's fertilizer" Could you tell me if there is
any truth in this old expression 7 LM, Osterville, Mass
Yes, old-timers of our memory always hoped for a soft snowfall after
their peas and potatoes broke ground They claimed it made the crops
grow better and faster
Home Hint*: Don't harvest root crops too early Most of them will keep in
the soil for another few weeks
