    A man detecting on the East end of Folly Island at Charleston SC dug up a cannon this morning. Same general area that a tropical storm uncovered a stack of cannon balls several years ago. They put up Police tape. They will probably call in someone to remove it like they did the cannon balls.

    My husband and I raise PawPaws in Rhode Island. They do well here in Southern RI, close to the ocean. The Colonists wiped them out here when they cut down all the forests for farmland. We started with small trees from a friend and mail ordered others. The seeds must be kept damp prior to planting. Maybe we will bring some to the Pound the Ground Adirondack hunt in October. Hope to see you there!

    Chig - I love them too and cannot wait until they are ripe every year! Mid-Ohio Valley ones taste like a cross between bananas and oranges & sometimes just super sweet mangoes that smell so rich and fruity it is hard to believe. Native Americans and early settlers in the Mid-Ohio Valley ate them and used them in the process to make jerky.

    I have never in my life heard so much about pawpaws since I subscribed to your channel a year and a half ago. Nor have I ever eaten a pawpaw but do remember a childhood song.
    “Paw-Paw Patch
    Where, oh where, oh where is Susie?
    Where, oh where, oh where is Susie?
    Where, oh where, of where is Susie?
    Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
    Chorus:
    Picking up paw-paws; put 'em in a basket.
    Picking up paw-paws; put 'em in a basket.
    Picking up paw-paws;put 'em in a basket.
    Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
    Come along, boys, and let's go find her.
    Come along, boys, and let's go find her.
    Come along, boys, and let's go find her.
    Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch”
    I think all of us sang this song in south central Ontario Canada never knowing what a pawpaw was!
    Thanks Beau for giving meaning to this song sung so long ago.
