Dark Night's April

Photographic oral history session with north Florida peanut farmer, Gary Ward. “We plant around May 10. But it used to be, the older people, before my time, would plant on a ‘dark night’s April.’ That's like the 15th to 20th of April. That was the old belief - the Old Farmer's Almanac. They would say we've got to get our peanuts out by the ‘dark night's April.’ That's when they planted.”
