We received a package last Friday from one of our YT forum buddies [b:654c4848f0]larry@stinescorner[/b:654c4848f0] that was full of garden goodies.

Thanks Larry; sure is some good salsa and relish as you can see.

Soon as we get the "smoke house" built, we'll send you some of our fine East Texas hard-shelled quisine.

Based upon some pics Larry put up earlier this fall I thought each of his potatos came out of the ground with a 25¢ piece. He must have kept those to pay for the postage.

The box came Friday afternoon. I was home because I had a trail ride Sat. James took a day off and went to the Farm Thurs nite.

As you can tell, the goodies had been sampled by time he got home Sunday eve.

Sure were good!

P.S. Dinner Saturday is postal potatoes, T-bone steaks and purple hull peas from a local grower (if I can get them).

In the 1950s and 1960s my mother would use tender young devils claw pods and make sweet pickles out of them.

We enjoyed serving them to out of state guests and telling them that they were pickled mice. Dark colored, fuzzy, and with sort of a tail on them. Um, okay--no thanks I'll pass.

They were quit good and we'd always eat one while passing them to show that they were edible.

I think I need to find some seed and plant some once again for old times sake, then make pickles.

Got a neighbor that would have them growing wild in his oats had it rained more than once in the last 3 1/2 months.
