Your most honorable nullness, devoid of a void.
Is a ping void or null?

Neither, it just is.
Shouldn’t you be on the Mushroom Mardi Gras thread?

On the way home from pistol competition one evening we stopped in Gilroy for gas. Asked the old-timey gas station operator, “What is that smell?” “That,” he replied, “Mister, is the smell of MONEY!!!”
Strawberries (Watsonville), Lettuce (Salinas), Artichokes (I forget). Each town had a specialty.
And the one-worlders think they can do agriculture better than the farmers!

Castroville. Artichoke capital of the world. I often wonder who was the 1st person who thought one could eat an artichoke.

Sorry to hear this. I like to drive through Gilmore - over the Pacheco Pass from the 5 to the 101.
Entire town smells like garlic.

Artichokes is Watsonville.
My grandparents lived there.

I think you are right - Castroville is the artichoke capital even though my grandmother and mother always said it was Watsonville.
I grew up eating artichokes and thought everyone did. My husband from Pennsylvania had never seen one, let alone eaten one. He loved them until the day he died, I cook them often - like 'em plain.
Castroville, California, Artichoke Center of the World

GILROY. Sheesh - and I go through there about once a month.
Distracted at home - dinner time and everyone is demanding my attention, including the dogs and cat.
Got several jars from Christopher Farms in the fridge right now - crushed and whole cloves.
Have a trip planned through Gilroy in a few weeks - always stop at Casa De Fruta.
