Good Sunday morning!
I was watching the evening national news last night and heard Indiana mentioned three times!
One report was about salmonella infected cantaloupes from southern Ind. Many sickened, two deaths.
Another item was about a town "rediscovered" when a reservoir dried up. All I saw was concrete slabs. Big whoop.
And the last was about a lost Picasso in the basement of an Evansville museum. It's for sale if you're interested.

Back to the cantaloupes. I assisted my 8+ month pregnant daughter at the farmers market yest. They had no melons except watermelons. Other cantaloupe vendors sold very few because the morning's headline was about the outbreak, with warning "not to eat Indiana cantaloupes"!

With natural, sustainable vegetable farming, there's always something. For my kids, it was the drought and heat. Then, they got 3" of pounding rain in one day which damaged tomatoes, raspberries, green beans, etc. Squash beetles and other insects have been a problem (they don't spray). Oh yes, and their best field hand quit without so much as a "I quit". No warning, nothing. I'll be pressed into duty.
Still, we had a pretty decent sales day. I just hope my farm kids don't kill themselves from either overwork or stress.
