I hear ya Chortdraw - I like them better raw than cooked.

I also like raw Soybeans. When I worked a the Feed Mill and Elevator, when the Farmers started bring in new Soybeans, I liked to eat them raw.

Supposedly they're good for you too. I used to do the same thing when I was on the farm, along with raw wheat and milo. Talk about your "whole grain"!

The price of veggies being so high I should put an "on your honor" table out front. Don't see many of those any more. Down in Key West 4 teens knocked over a 7 year old girl's lemonade stand and got about 11 bucks. I guess these kids never heard "God will strike you down dead" like we did. Seemed like you heard it every day and the minute you thought about doing wrong it echoed in your mind. I'll need an armed guard at my "on your honor" stand!

Last Summer, someone had one on the road that goes to my Ranch. They had a table with ripe tomatoes on it most all summer. If its there this summer, I'm going to find out who it belongs to, and ask them how honest people is with it. I can't believe nowadays that people wouldn't rip one off.

There is an elderly man who has a honor stand just across the road from my sister-in-law every year. He said he rarely gets ripped off for his tomatoes, cash, etc., and that sometimes he actually gets more money than he has coming. Bear in mind this is a rural area.

It's a little early here to start. We are still having hard freezes overnight and the average last frost is May 8. I'll probably start turning the soil and mixing in peat moss and leaves in a couple of weeks. Need to get a small bag of lime and another load of topsoil and one of manure from the municipal compost rows. That is the only reason I keep my old longbed. Buying dirt and manure yourself is the cheap way to go.

We get a much later start than some of you.

I'm afraid I got too early a start this time. It's 38 with frost this morning. Good thing is it's cloudy, so it will melt before the sun hits it. I'll know in a couple of days whether or not I'll have to replant.

Finally got all the garden planted. It was still a little wet, but it needed to be in. Will probably plant another couple rows of greenbeans in two or three weeks. So for now we can watch it grow. (and weed it)

All the rain that we've got here lately is making the Grass and Weeds grow like crazy.
