Al fresco dining

Two of my best memories of the 40s:

1. Sitting on the ground in a patch of ripe tomatos with a salt shaker.

2. Sitting on the ground under a tree of sweet ripe peaches with a knife for removing bad spots.

We had quite a large garden and my dad grew alsorts of veg and salad stuffs. I remember eating tomatoes straight from vine and shelling and eating peas straight from the pod.

@RubySoo Oh, peas were so great, even though we didn't have the kind where you eat the shell. I would eat a radish out there once in a while, but that was before I learned that dirt really isn't in one of the food groups.

@RubySoo My dad gave up trying to grow peas because they all got eaten by me and my brother lol
