Are those carrots or taters?

I remember shuckin' corn 'til my fingers bleeded.

She doesn't look happy either.

Answer 1

She is my great grandmother - and I don't know for SURE what is in the pot! I think it might be berries. I'm thinking it's either berries, or maybe figs.
This is in Meadville, Mississippi. I met her when I was 12, and she was VERY old, thought I was my mother. She had a spittoon next to her rocker, because she chewed tobacco!
