Now I ain't jerkin anyones chain and maybe some others know of this. Years ago a fella showed me a newspaper article(pre puter days) about a couple up in Michigan that when they found fresh ones would shade them with an umbrella type cover and water them heavily twice a day. They could grow them as big as Cecils YP, seriously, 12-14"s.Yes there were pictures. (pre photo shop)
Several yrs ago I was out and hit on a bunch of big yellows, 2 lbs. My daughter had moved to Nashville several yrs before and was bummed that they couldn't find any around there. I packed them yellows up and sent em overnight UPS(costs 28 bucks). Got a call the next dat and when I said hello, I heard "hows the coolest pop in the world"? Dang if that didn't puff my skinny ol chest up.
We should thank the good Lord for every blessings we get everyday.
