Store bought just ain't the same...people up here think a "Decker Melon" is a brand...really it is a melon grown in Decker, IN...them's good eatin

We have an older guy near us that grows a lot of produce. Has a farm wagon in his front yard with a money box on it...honor system. Write down what you take and put your money in the box. Ring the doorbell if you need change. He grows really good sweet corn, watermelon, cantaloupe. I let him grow the stuff he does way better than me and use my garden space for what I know I can grow here. His prices are always cheap too.

Wish I had room for a freezer. Did the 1/2 beefs for years, but in my current house I don't really have a place for a freezer.

We have a side by side and a 3 door fridge so there is a lot of space. Sams club has filled all of them up.

That is just sad man
Sitting at a picnic table in the hot summer sun....eating fresh watermelon...spitting the seeds at the girls and making them cry......priceless.

I have had a few watermelons that were plugged, those were pretty good.

At least down here, I always heard to plant maters after Mothers Day.

I usually wait until closer to Memorial Day after getting froze out the few times I got in a hurry and planted earlier.

My cousin used to do that in Terre Haute, now they have grown and have a greenhouse full of flowers and veggies and they have a "store" of sorts

I milked a cow on a field trip once...

actually I've never milked a cow, just goats. Grandpa got rid of all the cattle long before I was thought of, but I've milked my share of goats, brushed a lot of horses, and picked up many an egg, not to mention getting attacked by the damn rooster, but after that grandma made fried chicken for dinner... Yummy!
