Well I took the risk of mentioning fruit and accept the nonsense some people just have to attempt to tie it into my sexual preferences. .. I'm not saying it's childish nonsense, but quit being a bunch of babies about it. lol
For the first time in a few years we've gotten some really good honey dew melons. Cantaloupes have been a bit tasteless.
The first batch of peaches were hard and didn't ripen, but the last batch were great . Here in SC peaches are generally pretty good except last year when the late frost pretty much ruined the crop.. We have a short season for really good peaches then the green ones start showing up and it's over .
I remember years ago hitch hiking and getting dropped off in the middle of the peach season so I got work picking them.. I don't know how many of you have ever worked as a picker, but it's hard work . I still enjoyed the time with different migrants around the country picking produce..Everyone ought to take at least one season to work picking crops...It'll give you an appreciation for just how tough it is for the people who keep our dinner tables full
