1 (VZh) Back then, what did you plant at that time [of the year]?

2 (a) [0:02] In April you began to plant potatoes, and after that

3 (a) [0:07] beans, corn, and whatever else you had to plant – peas, whatever.

4 (VZh) And grains?

5 (a) [0:14] We didn't plant grains here, that was down below …

6 (VZh) Well ...

7 (a) [0:16] … in the plains.

8 (VZh) … then, uh …

9 (a) [0:17] Potatoes.

10 (VZh) … rye?

11 (a) [0:20] A little, a little here and there. But hardly anything at all.

12 (a) [0:23] There used to be, when we were smaller [held smaller land portions] ,

13 (a) [0:27] We planted a lot of rye [then] in the hills. But now –

14 (a) [0:31] the land is overgrown: the cooperative farm came, and everything –

15 (a) [0:34] all the [fields] – the land became wooded Balkan [landscape].

16 (VZh) Mmhm.

17 (a) [0:36] Where we once had “torli” (fields) that would bear grain – it all got overgrown.

18 (VZh) You used to call them “torli” …

19 (a) [0:43] Hah, [yes]. Fields.

28 (VZh) Uh huh.

29 (a) [0:59] You reap it and then they thresh it in the threshing field,

30 (a) [1:03] and then gather the grain up into bags.

31 (VZh) And how do they thresh it? What [do they use]?

32 (a) [1:08] With a mule – mules or horses. The mules go around in a circle.

33 (a) [1:11] One person [stands] in the middle and drives them [forward] with a stick,

34 (a) [1:14] and that's [how we got] grain earlier. Now they don't do that.

35 (VZh) Don't they winnow it after that?

36 (a) [1:19] What?

37 (VZh) Don't they winnow it after they -

38 (a) [1:20] They take it out with a shovel and winnow it.

39 (a) [1:22] The wind blows, and the grains fall on the far [side] –

40 (VZh) And all that gets gathered into the barn.

41 (a) [1:29] Yes, the barn.

42 (VZh) Is that how you called it, a barn?

43 (a) [1:31] A barn.

44 (VZh) Was there one of these in every house?

45 (a) [1:36] What?

46 (VZh) Did every house have one?

47 (a) [1:38] Each one. All [of us], everybody planted oats and rye, earlier on.

48 (a) [1:41] Now, after the cooperative farm [came] forty years ago, they stopped.

49 (a) [1:45] And now, there's none [of that]. Now we've planted potatoes,

50 (a) [1:48] and now potates again. Otherwise –

51 (VZh) How did you call potatoes in the old days?

52 (a) [1:53] “Kumpir” [sharp whistle in background]

53 (VZh) “Kompir”

54 (a) [1:55] Hah! [laughter]

55 (VZh) Aha. And how did you call tomatoes?

56 (a) [1:56] Well, “patlizhaeni” (eggplant).

57 (VZh) “Patlizhaeni”.

58 (a) [1:59] Hah.

59 (VZh) And did you plant “kochani” (kohlrabi)?

60 (a) [2:01] We did.

61 (VZh) You did.

62 (a) [2:02] For beans. We called it a sort of “bean-beet.”

63 (a) [2:06] We didn't used to plant sugar beets. Then we bought [some] in order to plant them.

64 (a) [2:10] Then we made molasses from them; it was sugary, you know.

65 (VZh) Ah, molasses. How do you make molasses?

66 (a) [2:15] You bring the beets in from the field,

67 (a) [2:19] you peel them nicely, and and you boil them up in a cauldron.

68 (a) [2:21] Then it's strained through a press and then and then you –

69 (a) [2:24] they turn it out into a pan and it becomes molasses.

70 (RA) Huh.

71 (a) [2:28] [You find it] only in a very few houses now.

72 (a) [2:33] Anything else? This cow has gone off somewhere.
