I am getting ready to savor the great taste of home grown green beans that I picked yesterday off of the 8 plants that have survived this very wet spring. There is nothing better than eating something you grew and nurtured. They, along with sweet corn we are having, are my most favorite thing to eat and brings back memories of picking my grandmother's in her garden on their farm in South Dakota. I believe my love for gardening stems from the summers I spent at their farm when we lived in Bloomington, MN and our parents would drop off my 4 older brothers and me. They had a well and you would drop the bucket down and pull it up and drink from a ladle. No indoor plumbing. No AC. My four older brothers locked me in the barn loft one day and on another escapade they left me atop a hay bale when the cows came into the pasture. They were brutal but, don't worry, I got them back when they were in junior high and high school. I could earn a couple dollars not telling on them. Worked many times. LOL I can almost taste them now. [image: 1779985323305-harvest-5.27.jpg]

North Carolina has hired former Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone as their next head coach.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I don’t think he’s ready by any stretch of imagination but you never know. Cheick diallo was drafted 33rd without really playing and a similar build to Flory.

@kjayhawks2.0 Thanks for clarifying
