Farm Question #6

Hey, all!

*

WOW! Can you believe it's Farm Question #6 already?! Time sure flies. And I'm sorry I've been so long between Farm Questions - I think it's been about two weeks...? :-) Okay! Here's the answer to Farm Question #5.

*

Farm Question #5 was...

True or False?

You have to harvest every last thing (berries, fruits, roots, vegetables, and herbs) out of your garden before frost.

*

And the answer is... False!

*

It is indeed true that berries, fruits, vegetables, and herbs must be harvested before first frost or they'll die, however, roots (potatoes, carrots, etc.) can stay in because they are protected by the dirt around them. Carrots can actually stay in the ground all winter, even when the snow falls! It's just a good idea to harvest them because it's a little difficult to go out in the sub-zero temperatures and pick carrots for dinner. :-)

As DJ pointed out, in Leviticus 23:22 it says... "And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God."

*

So the answer to this question is a double "False" because of both aspects (Scriptural and scientific) of the answer! :-)

*

Okay, now that I'm through rambling about that, here's FQ#6!

*

What is the term for the part of the saddle that "sticks up" from the middle of the saddle? (Tip for locating it - it's just to the left of Mom's shoulder. Mom's in the blue jacket.)

*

(Bonus "points" if you can tell me what type of horse that is by just looking at this picture!)
