Vegetables

 


The signs on the left seen in Westport last time we were there, I'm thinking the owners are tired of people squeezing and bruising their produce?

The place where I work has just started selling produce and it's my job to do a quality check on them twice a day. If there are any that have been over squished then I have to put a reduced price sticker on them. The chillies and capsicums in my garden have finally finished but we got quite a few off them over the Summer/Autumn season, now we will replant them in Spring.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

"DON'T BLOODY WELL SQUEEZE THE FRUIT" is a sign I might expect to see at a bathing beauty competition. Note the spelling of SQUEEZE with a "z".

Somehow the signs could repel people away?

One does gently press the fruit to see how ripe it is I suppose.

At the Farmers markets here you see similar signs. Sellers get really mad. But I can see their point. Having to sell it at reduced rates hurts, especially if you're a grower

Its a troublesome sign but I never buy a mellon without testing it ripeness.

I can imagine the frustration of the owners.

Happy Saturday, Amy!

Jim here -- I like the squeeze sign, my sign would say, "You squeeze you buy. It's all good or we wouldn't have put it here."

Hah, I love the sign.
Dealing with little kids when my son was a cub scout, they love to put their fingers on all the foods before they picked which hot dog or hamburger was theirs. Hard habit to break for them.
To this day when I buy a carton of eggs, I open the carton and jiggle each one to make sure it has broken yet.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
