Well, BIL tomatoes were a bust. Too ripe, spoiled the whole batch after beginning of the process. We all tried. I love the tales of the farm...it was so different fifty years ago!!
I drove the team of horses a few times for Granddad to pick the corn by hand...one ear at a time...into the wagon with one side higher than the other so the ears would bounce back into the wagon... some 60 plus years ago!
It was wonderful this morning reading everyone's story; made the day a little brighter. We finally got about 3 or 4 inches of rain that soaked right into the ground yesterday and last night, but it turned cold here...41 when dh dug the sweet potatoes this morning. I pulled all the beets and turnips, giving the tops to the guineas who thanked me for them.
