Return from Topsfield
I have just returned from a few days in northeastern Massachusetts. I made it
a point to drive my the Topsfield Fairgrounds, the Mecca, or Vatican, or St.
Paul's Cathedral, or Wittenberg... (well you get the idea-) of pumpkin
growing in the northeast.
When I was driving up to West Newbury, where I stayed, I got into a
hellacious thunderstom, and the papers later reported that a house and a barn
had been hit by lightning and burned to the gound. Does this happen a lot to
you hardy folk? Earthquakes are no threat in comparison.
All of which brought to mind something that I vaguely recall - that fields
which have been struck by lightening yield great fruit. Anyone with this
happy experience? Can it be faked - can I just run a line from the power pole
that goes behind my house into the ground near my plants?
Fantasy - or fact?
John, in sunny, dry and safe CA.
