We used to pick peaches or watermelons to make extra cash. We usually got paid by the bushel, or similar, so the harder you worked, the more money you made. It wasn’t that bad in the shade of the groves, when you had a couple of friends with you. Watermelons suck. And I remember helping on the farm when I was a kid. I hated potatoes and okra. Especially okra.
Peaches were always the worst! Back when I was a kid they had LOTS more fuzz on them than they do now. And apparently I was allergic to it! It caused me to itch 100 times worse than any fiberglass or rock wool. Still, picking peaches beats picking butterbeans-have to bend way down to get to them! And yes-okra sucks!
