Plant a radish…

Posted in Music, Photographic Gallery, Color, tagged , , , on February 15, 2024| 2 Comments »

Did you see the show “The Fantasticks?” We did, twice. We took our two sons when they were little and then when they became men. The show was still playing in Greenwich Village, so we went and  sat in the same seats.

Why am I telling you this?   Well, today Eileen took a picture of radishes. She didn’t grow them, but being a Wegwoman, she bought them at Wegmans.

And all of this intersects in this post where we have her photograph of radishes and we have a song called “Plant a Radish” from the original cast album of “The Fantasticks.” It’s about raising kids and gardens.  Carl Swenson of Ocean Grove performed all over America in this show.    See his comment below.

Roadside salad….

Three days ago it was raining, so when I pulled into this location, no one was around.   I got out and selected 3 lovely tomatoes.  There was a tin can on the side with money in it.  So I paid what I thought it was worth and then proceeded to take some photos.

The next day I stopped there again, and he was in attendance.   I needed some lemons, and he had them.  His prices are very reasonable.

There are so many sources of fresh produce and fresh seafood in Southwest Fla, that I wondered how he makes a living.  But year after year, he is back, and he has his own business.
