Brokenbar, are you sure you don't eat a grape now and then. Surely you eat a grape.
Thanks for the info. Yes, interesting. I guess it doesn't grow well all over. It grows well here. The Midwest is really quite dry. Minnisota has less rainfall than Texas. We have 1 inch more than Texas.
Alabama get's 58.3 inches ranked 4th most, wow!
Michigan is 32.8 ranked 32nd most rain by state.

I envy brokenbar, I have a weight problem, so no carbs for me! No rice or bread. I catch my own fish.
I eat carbs once in a while. If I could only eat vegetables or meat, it would be meat, if one meat it would be beef. I could eat that everyday. We have canine teeth for a reason!
