The two little pigs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. We have two populations of our native black bears here, one concentrated in Horry and Georgetown counties and the other in the Appalachian Mountains. Once when staying with friends near Bat Cave, we had taken some cleaned, small wild pigs to cook and had them in a cooler on the back deck. When I got up in the morning to start preparing them, the other food in the cooler was still neatly arranged but the pigs were gone. When eve
Lindera benzoin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Recently, when having supper with Hank and Ann, my most faithful providers of hat material, some young men were visiting to deer hunt.

Read excerpt
Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension. Acorns are a favorite food for black bears in South Carolina; they prefer white oak acorns to red ones.

Hollies are male or female, the female yaupons have lovely red berries and they stay on the plant a long time as birds don’t not
When iced tea made its biggest splash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Southerners have been drinking iced tea (or at least cold, not hot tea) forever. Before ice was available, they might have put probably sweetened tea in a cool part of their house and have that with meals. When ice became readily available, iced tea was even more refreshing. In 1904 at the St. Louis world’s fair an Englishman whose company specialized in black Indian tea, had gallons of hot tea sitting around when a heat wave c
