I’ve heard that bacteria in soil can also be taken up by the roots of plants and remain inside the plant’s veins!

I want American grown veggies.

No telling where those things have been...

I think vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you?

Long ago I attended grade school in a farm community. I can still remember the teacher explaining the development of good farming in America. The kids really took that stuff in because it was their livelihood.

I’ve never encountered the farms but Michigan is apparently a top state for growing cucumbers for pickles.

We’ve been eating our own home grown cukes as well. They petered out a month ago and the new seedings didn’t make so hoping this current crop will make before cold weather. Doubt it. I’ll do without before buying from the store.
