It was cool to hang out with you and summer in chat today. I'm going to take a cutting from my tangerine to the nursery. Thank you for all the advice.

We used to put pictures like this up on our website at the farm..held a "name that vegetable" competition, the winner to be paid in strawberries.

Here's a couple of slide shows from the farm. I miss this place dearly.

Notice that I did, in fact, once work for Chuck Norris

Close, yellow crookneck squash. (They're all cucurbits)

BTW, that particular flower is now a gourd the size of my forearm....I'm 6'2, 240lbs. it's an impressive gourd, to me..and I've seen a lot of gourds. Really happy with how it all turned out, what with not doing any sort of weeding, watering, or fertilizing this year...lol.
