28/12: Fresh Vegetables

Posted by: The Agnew Family
We seem to go wild one day, packing in all kinds of adventures then the next day we seem to run out of steam and not manage to accomplish much. Thinking this may be one of the signs of getting old.
Today we drove around town checking out the two local casinos. The thought is to spend New Years Eve at a casino. The Cocopah Casino seemed the least smokiest (probably not grammatically correct but hopefully it gets across what I mean) and the casino restaurant is doing a prime rib / seafood buffet. Think this is the one.
Ed had his camera with him and was able to get some photos of picking the cauliflower crop.
A special wagon is pulled out into the field. I think it is moved as the field is picked. The crop is picked, brought over to the wagon, extraneous leaves removed, wrapped and put into boxes. We saw this done for cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and lettuce. An efficient way to get vegetables to the stores quickly.
