Re: Jimmy
I have seen women give children fruit to eat straight from the packing. I was looking into a strawberry field a couple of years ago there were about twenty pickers and one isolated Portaloo in the corner of the field. I hope there was bottled water to wash hands, I suppose it is not so bad when the end product is jam. Yummy.

Working with any kind of chemical is always risky, but especially when it comes to food products. My wife and I have always been in the habit of washing the 'fresh' vegetables we purchase, no matter what! Of course you needed to take it a step further by washing your hands as well. Always think of the customers . . .

The home grown stuff always tastes better. Freshness is the key.

Quite witty you are on the poetry.
On the subject of chemicals in garden use, I like any produce Son #3 brings to me from his garden because he doesn't use any kind of chemicals. But then, he doesn't try to sell his produce either so he doesn't worry about any that he has to discard.

Re: KABU
It was a bit cheeky, one can't compare an apple to that sort of thing. What is the silly old critter on about now. I would like to lock that Russ in the shed with my gnomes they would teach him a thing or two. ( Cross out that which does not apply.)

Re: Naut
I suppose a lot of colouring is unnecessary but it is a market ploy. Good thinking and don't sniff flowers if you buy them for your dear wife.

I wonder what other bad things are in the items we consume...My grandmother used to have an apple tree.

I don't garden...the few plants that I did have died while I was away since my son and his wife never watered them....That was good of you to do that...I don't know if others would have

I really hate all those poisons they daub our food with these days, and wash virtually everthing I use, although some of it gets completely absorbed, I fear...And I love your ode to the apple tree...

It's good you decided not to poison your customers.
I like the Russet poems, the idea of a tree being sentient is very powerful. That some uncaring stranger wants to turn the old one into firewood touches close to home. Cruel indifference is quite disturbing.
