Home > Colorado History > Farming and Ranching By,Ada Doing history keeping the past states "One of my chores was to pick the peas or beans and get them ready for cooking. . . Sometimes I had to dig new potatoes too. . . . Gathering greens, washing and picking them over, washing beets, and peeling turnips kept me out of mischief all morning."
