Just saw the weather update  we're supposed to get between 5" and 7" in the next 24 hrs.  The last 4" we got is only half gone  :(

no, the memory of last years constant snow fall is still too fresh in my mind.  Along with the broken brake lines, leaky gas tank and heater core of the plow truck that required attention while plowing better than once a week. :o

   Welded a plate over the back dash on the flat bed of the pick-up for the flasher and managed to blow out the rear window of sead pick-up  :-[ All it took was one little bit of flus that fell off and hit the window wile I was welding and bingo instant air conditioning . Now I have plastic and duck tape  ;D ;D

The truth is, he picked them from a basket he brought home from the grocery store the day before.

Oh ye of little faith......

Actually some friends lease their land to a tomato grower, 'bout 75 acres, or so. They are picking the fall crop right now in this area. ;D  They only pick the green ones, and the "pinks", so the ones that get too ripe for shipping are left behind. Us few priveleged characters who have access to a field make out like a bandit. My son-in-law and I can pick a pick-up load in under an hour.  We'll can some, give away some, and feed the rest to the hogs.
Surprisingly, these commercial 'maters are just as good as home-grown if allowed  to ripen on the vine.

An enterprising young son-in--law could take a truck load 50 miles away and sell them on the side of the road for some healthy spending money. ;D    100% profit is hard to beat. 8)

We have vegetable markets here where the proprietor buys stuff at the farmer's market and resells it from under roof.  They will buy quantities of ripened stuff from you.  A lot of my old-timers sell to them from their gardens.

Bleeeve me, we've thought about that, Tom. Problem is, the major stipulation to our access is that we don't sell them.  :-/

Shucks!  Bummer :-X

There is an organization called Second Harvest that used to go through harvested fields and give the produce to old folks homes, homeless shelters and the like.   If you wanted to do a public service, perhaps you could share some of your bounty that way and still stay within the "stipulations fo access". :)

It's hard to see stuff like that plowed under, isn't it?

Second Harvest, as well as other charities, get all they can handle locally. The fruit that is available is too ripe to ship well. It has occurred to me that these organizations could set up portable canneries to capture a lot of leftovers in all kinds of produce industries. I guess it is just too much for them to think about. ???  They won't take home canned products, either.
Working with the food concession at the Masters every year,  I help load out thousands of leftover sandwiches for Second Harvest and the Salvation Army. We still end up tossing a lot of them after those folks get all they can use. :-/
