You spent too much time hanging out with farmers in your youth, Andy.
It is always too something.?ÿ Too dry, too wet, too windy, too still, too cloudy, too sunny, too hot, too cold, too expensive, too cheap and so forth and so on too infinity AND BEYOND.
?ÿ
(Anybody catch the pun?)
7 below this morning. ?ÿStill lots of snow cover. ?ÿA big plus is no mosquitos. ?ÿYET!!!
?ÿ
DAGNAB IT.
I can tolerate about one more day of this below 70F nonsense in FL. Supposed to go into the 40??s tonight and into the 70??s tomorrow. 40??s in April? Almost unheard of.
Ps: you know a good place to buy Vidalia onions. They should be ready soon. ?????ÿ
The too woke part?
All I could hear was Tim Taylor, Mike Baxter, Buzz Lightyear, and a movie franchise that will not be the same...
Was suggesting an infinite number of things that farmers view as (too something).
Notice you mentioned the "old" Michigander himself, Tim Allen.
Spent a few years working and living on the left coast of Michigan about 45 years ago, BTW.?ÿ Bottom left corner of the mitt.?ÿ Where farms are mainly fruits or vegetables and 40 acres or less.?ÿ Where the farmers move to Florida for seven months each year while their fields are buried below tons of snow.
...Ps: you know a good place to buy Vidalia onions. They should be ready soon. ?????ÿ
I bought a couple of onions this afternoon.?ÿ They're "storage" onions that have been in a dark cooler for a long time...A person that has eaten onions from a root cellar can tell at a glance.
Anyway, I was thinking that good and fresh ones ought to be just around the corner.?ÿ And by sometime in May the locals should have their's at the local "farmer's market".?ÿ I personally love the fresh-just-out-of-the-ground purple onions.
@paden-cash The best onions in the world come from Vidalia (pronounced Vy daylia), Georgia (and a few counties thereabouts).?ÿ The pack date for Vidalias is set for tomorrow, April 12.?ÿ I would expect them to be in the markets within a week.

Walla Walla sweets; you can eat them like an apple...
We got some Vidalia's last weekend at a farmers market. Very good eating.
Well I'm not going to be able to obtain them at my favorite store any longer, As of next month, there will be just 3 Kmarts left in the U.S. This means I'm being forced to wear shoes to git in that fancy pants Walmart. Ugh! ?????ÿ

Our growing season here starts on Memorial Day - runs clear up to Labor Day in a warm year... Of course there's always the one freeze around July 4.
NO, MR. BILL, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........................as heard many times on SNL years ago.
You can afford to shop anywhere you prefer.?ÿ Stay the HE77 out of Wally World.?ÿ Support your local business man or woman.

Amen.?ÿ There are usually three or four local farmers markets around here during the summer.?ÿ For my peas I travel to South Georgia and get a few bushels that I freeze and eat on for the rest of the year.

We have a farmers market every Thursday in one of the rec center parking lots, of all the booths though there's about two that sell fresh veggies, al the rest are the clubs selling some of their stuff and other local venders, honey, breads, hot sauces, yogurt and some other edibles. I don't get there too often as I'm still working, but SWMBO has the golf cart and as of this weekend she finally has her car back (she didn't care for only being able to go where the golf cart can take her, so I had to get my own car, oh well).
Almost a foot of HEAVY snow on the ground this morning. It's coming down fast now, everyone is clapping for the moisture.?ÿ
A water call went out about a week ago and it's going to make my life miserable.?ÿ
So MAYBE this will stop it, we shall see.?ÿ

It's almost getting back to normal...
Note to Andy, HC: I only buy?ÿnon-perishables from Wally, and use the pickup option. (I??ve had it with the 5 mile walk inside grocery stores trying to find all kinds of stuff SWMBO wants) ?ÿMeats and veggies from locals. The farmers sell beefsteak tomatoes that actually taste like a tomato.

@dougie?ÿ
Mmmmmm Walla Wallas!!! Best Onions out there! They taste like candy! ?????ÿ
