The great depression taught them stuff they delivered further.<br /><br />I also remember when our neighbours sprayed their apples with DDT, my father would not hear or do nothing of the sort, and we had apples for the whole winter, strawberries black and red currant, potatoes, carrots reddish, lettuce, sweet peasFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494675.post-6141157866257598412011-06-07T04:39:58.045-05:002011-06-07T04:39:58.045-05:00Got to thinking about my comment though I do agree...Got to thinking about my comment though I do agree with my first comment. <br /><br />I was raised in the age of Cold War fear.
