When I was young the corn was plowed and hoed three times before it was "laid by"
At the second plowing or workingh was the time for planting beans, usually Kentucky Wonders in the corn rows. Pumpkin seed were also planted.
It was the job of the person hoeing the corn to plant the bean and pumpkin seed. Now, when I was about 13 I was the person doing the hoeing and daddy gave me a lot of beans to plant. I got tired of planting them and poured a lot of the seed in a hollow chestnut stump at the edge of the field never thinking about them coming up. The next time we worked the corn there was a stump full of beans. I expected daddy to give me a thrashing but he jus said "Ithought you run out of beans mighty quick"
