One of our interns has asked me to post this query...
 
        Chip is investigating domestic slave agriculture/gardening techniques
(that is, the slaves' own gardens) and was wondering if anyone had any
pointers or advice, particularly apropos Virginia and the Carolinas.
Bibliographical references would be particularly welcome as library resources
in the Lynchburg area are, well, somewhat limited (that's called British
understatement ;-) ).
        Please post to this discussion group or e-mail me privately at
[log in to unmask]
        Unless you're Robert Johnson telling me that as white British male
I'm clearly not culturally competent to work on slave related sites ;->
