What a great childhood memory, I really wish I could garden like that...I always kill anything I am trying to grow. Ah well, I'm happy to support those who are blessed with a green thumb :) “I love me some kumquats”-that just busts me up!!!

Farming is hard work, just thinking about it makes me want to eat strawberries to recover! Ester, Interesting, we had that problem with our Michigan asparagus crop last year. Homeland security is making things challenging for many borders apparently, not just here in the US. Certainly no one here wants to bend over picking strawberries for 8 hours a day regardless of weather. It makes it all tough for farmers to get food to the market, that saddled with increased cost of production will cause issues over the next few years. Time to plant our victory gardens! Backyard food security! Ginger Karen,

We would help the pickers while also weeding and hoeing, etc. We must have all eaten a quart-a-day too! Nothing like the taste of fresh strawberries.
