Ruth- I used to do that when I was little, my Gram would let me.
I also drank real buttermilk- now I wonder why I did those things.
I learned a lot about gardening from my Gram, who lived to be 106. I think it was her pesticide free living that made her last so long.

my mother skimmed the cream off the top of the glass milk bottles that we had delivered (we lived in the city - no cows in the apartment).
then she whipped it for whipped cream and used it to top off a chocolate pudding pie. tell me, were the foods in the 50's gross or what?
if it didn't have fat or sugar or cholesterol, it wasn't considered food.
