After seeing this photo on Instagram I drove out to the location of the pop-up cactus stand so I could take my own photo and support the owner with praise and some cash. Unfortunately the day I drive by there were no cactus, only free squash.

Sorry you missed out on the cactus but hope you grabbed a squash for dinner!
ReplyDeleteSquash is forbidden in this household.
DeleteHow did the squash compare in looks and price to the cactus?
ReplyDeleteHa! The squash was free, and very colorful!
DeleteHow cool is that? Squash forbidden? What a shame. I have a great recipe for making zucchini pickles, so yummy.
ReplyDeleteZucchini pickles!? Yes, that does sound yummy. Andrew had to eat one too many squash when he was a kid, and now I'm paying the price.
DeleteNice little plant stand. Squash and pumpkins--both so very special and so different. Thanks for today's smile.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it.
DeleteThose price signs were made when the table was new I think.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteToo bad, squash is certainly not as good as cactus.
ReplyDeleteNot even close!
DeleteWith prices like that no wonder there were none left! Make a note on your calendar for next year.
ReplyDeleteI bet there are a lot of neighborhood kids growing cactus.
DeletePretty darn cute! Now you have me wondering if I could get rid of my surplus supply of plastic pots by sticking seedlings in them and positioning them next to the driveway with a "free" sign. The lemons always disappear...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
DeleteJust "Squash is forbidden"? Leave us in suspense?
ReplyDeleteYa, unfortunately Andrew had to eat one too many squash when he was a kid, he thinks now that he's an adult he should get to say no.
DeleteNow that is a great price. Sorry you missed them... and sorry you blanked out the address! ;)
ReplyDelete~ Anna
Surely you can figure out the very easy work around for that...
