We did all of that... I have very fond memories of those days.
I remember when I was a little guy, I would occasionally walk into the garden with a salt shaker and eat carrots, radishes and lettuce right out of the garden. Heck, I was a kid, so I didn’t even bother to rinse the stuff off. LOL
I remember when pork chops actually tasted like pork chops.
I long for those wonderful days gone by. Dreams of adventure, imagination becoming reality, pinecone fights, building forts in the woods... toast with homemade butter....... and a cold glass of raw milk.
Rhubarb and the salt shaker. MMMM
early in my marriage, I was picking green beans and about every fifth bean was going in my mouth. My wife with no gardening experience, came running from the house screaming “ don’t eat those they are poisonous until they have been processed by a factory”. She still has to be faked into eating from the garden!
