Although we did not live on a farm, I grew up in a farming community in Wisconsin. We were all part of the 4-H – that was quite awhile ago…. It was a place where you got to work on your own – see a project through to the end – and be proud of your effort. I did many hybrid plant projects (it was hot stuff at the time) - learned about the real birds and bees
Sounds like you had a great time.
Most of our 4-H kids have no illusions about sex, though my daughter WAS amazed when she had "That Talk" at school. ( I had made sure she knew the real deal before, and she has seen llamas mating ) Anyway, she comes home and says, "Mom, those people at the school don't know ANYTHING abouut breeding!"
