| pawpaw possum: Possum in the Pawpaw Tree B. Rosie Lerner, Beverly S. Netzhammer, 1994 One of the latest trends in home horticulture is regional gardening, but most popular garden books and syndicated columns are written by authors on the East or West coasts. Possum in the Pawpaw Tree is aimed at the heartland of the United States, where 'normal' weather means bitter winters, torrential spring rains, and summer drought. The material here is arranged to provide a handy month-by-month guide for indoor and outdoor gardening activities, both for the novice and the more experienced gardener. |
| pawpaw possum: Pawpaw Andrew Moore, 2015-08-05 The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance. Historically, it fed and sustained Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved African Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic grower’s dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive, and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer agents yet discovered. So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one? In Pawpaw—a 2016 James Beard Foundation Award nominee in the Writing & Literature category—author Andrew Moore explores the past, present, and future of this unique fruit, traveling from the Ozarks to Monticello; canoeing the lower Mississippi in search of wild fruit; drinking pawpaw beer in Durham, North Carolina; tracking down lost cultivars in Appalachian hollers; and helping out during harvest season in a Maryland orchard. Along the way, he gathers pawpaw lore and knowledge not only from the plant breeders and horticulturists working to bring pawpaws into the mainstream (including Neal Peterson, known in pawpaw circles as the fruit’s own “Johnny Pawpawseed”), but also regular folks who remember eating them in the woods as kids, but haven’t had one in over fifty years. As much as Pawpaw is a compendium of pawpaw knowledge, it also plumbs deeper questions about American foodways—how economic, biologic, and cultural forces combine, leading us to eat what we eat, and sometimes to ignore the incredible, delicious food growing all around us. If you haven’t yet eaten a pawpaw, this book won’t let you rest until you do. James Beard Foundation Book Award Nominee “This book took me on an enchanting and engaging ride through the history, folklore, and science of a neglected but magical food plant. Andrew Moore shows us, in delightful prose and a wealth of fascinating stories, the role that the under-appreciated pawpaw has played in North American culture.”—Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia’s Garden and The Permaculture City “Andrew Moore takes us on a very personal journey investigating how and why North America's largest indigenous fruit largely disappeared, and documenting efforts to revive it. Pawpaw is a pleasure to read, and if you do you'll probably find yourself searching for and loving these delectable fruits.”—Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation |
| pawpaw possum: The Ghosts Of Evolution Connie Barlow, 2008-08-05 A new vision is sweeping through ecological science: The dense web of dependencies that makes up an ecosystem has gained an added dimension-the dimension of time. Every field, forest, and park is full of living organisms adapted for relationships with creatures that are now extinct. In a vivid narrative, Connie Barlow shows how the idea of missing partners in nature evolved from isolated, curious examples into an idea that is transforming how ecologists understand the entire flora and fauna of the Americas. This fascinating book will enrich and deepen the experience of anyone who enjoys a stroll through the woods or even down an urban sidewalk. But this knowledge has a dark side too: Barlow's ghost stories teach us that the ripples of biodiversity loss around us now are just the leading edge of what may well become perilous cascades of extinction. |

| pawpaw possum: Root Jumper Justine Felix Rutherford, 2012-07 Root Jumper is an autobiography of the author's life as she grew up on a farm during the Depression years. It also includes many fond memories of special people who have had a lasting effect on her. Simply written, Root Jumper will appeal to readers of all ages. Youth will enjoy it for educational and historical value. Older people will experience memories of the good old days, and all readers will feel the emotions of happiness, sadness, love, and honor mixed with the humor of everyday life. In today's time of the technology of texting, tweeting, and computerized social networking, 'Miss Teeny' takes us back to the day of her roots through the language of love, laughter, and true friends and family networking. My wish is that all students, past, present, and future, read these stories to gain a taste of the richness of the Appalachian culture which Justine so passionately portrays in Root Jumper. Elizabeth Hanna Green Teacher/ School Administrator Root Jumper should be required reading for all ages. Young people should read it to learn more about life in the 'good old days, ' and mature readers will enjoy their own precious memories as they walk with Justine Rutherford through the days of her youth. What an amazing memory-and the outstanding ability to paint such vivid word pictures for all to enjoy. Jim Franklin Pastor |

| pawpaw possum: My Journey Through a Changing South Charlie Grainger, 2019-11-14 Charlie Grainger has lived through eight decades of positive change in his favorite place---the American South. Born on an unpaved Alabama country road during the Great Depression, he nearly died twice during infancy, nearly drowned as a teenager, then escaped death as a young man while flying on a small plane. Through multiple near death experiences, he says that God was always in his corner. As a young man, the Summer of 1955 was filled with magic. He worked as a newspaperman and as a public relations professional. He witnessed an angry mob that beat up black Freedom Riders at the Montgomery Bus Depot. He was saved by a State Public safety director. Others were not so lucky. View America through the eyes of a country boy who grew up to become a successful business executive, state legislator, and Washington lobbyist. It will give you a greater appreciation of how far we have come as a nation. |

| pawpaw possum: Coffin Man James D. Doss, 2011-11-08 When Colorado rancher and part-time tribal investigator Charlie Moon gets a call from Wanda Naranjo, she's panicked. Not only is her sink leaking, which Moon graciously fixes, but her sixteen-year-old daughter, Betty, has gone missing. For how long? Only a few hours, but she's pregnant. So what about the father-to-be? It's a good question and anybody's guess. Betty has kept her lips sealed on the subject. And that's not all. Betty claimed to be going to see a school counselor on what turned out to be his day off. So was she running away or was she abducted? Moon's best friend, Granite Creek Chief of Police Scott Parris, doesn't believe any of it and suspects that Wanda tricked them into doing a little emergency plumbing. While it's enough to make Parris's blood boil, Moon can't shake the feeling that some other foul play might be at work. James D. Doss's Coffin Man is a witty ride through the Wild West that's chock-full of tall tales, wide-open spaces, and Doss's signature homespun wit. |

| pawpaw possum: Demaris: Protocol Brian David Randall, 2025-06-09 Surviving this mission may mean losing each other . . . or their lives. In the summer of 1992, Trey Carter—Southern, evangelical, and deeply closeted—accidentally outs himself at a pool party. This spirals him down a dark path and into the hands of the Central Intelligence Agency, but Trey’s skills are in football and gymnastics, not guns and espionage. He’s not the first twenty-one-year-old to make a mistake but may be the first to fall involuntarily into a dark ops protocol. Special Officer Rick Morgan’s blood is boiling. The CIA has plucked Trey from his normal life, threatened to disclose his sexual orientation, and forced him to join their covert unit, just as the Marines had done to him. Every time he looks at Trey, he feels both an unwavering commitment to their mission and a deep, unfamiliar urge to . . . do something to the muscular young man. Protect him? Seduce him? Love him? After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ivan Dimitri is on the verge of selling secrets to the highest bidder. The CIA is tasked with containing Ivan and activates their protocol to prey on the engineer’s secret desire for young men. With Rick by his side, Trey prepares for a life-or-death mission, but there are mounting doubts if he can pull it off, and if a civilian can survive the Demaris Protocol. Based on true events. |
