Hauling Sweet Annie

My parents have the most wonderful garden. They can grow anything!

When I mentioned that I’d like some “Sweet Annie”, (aka Artemisia annua) well they went a little wild and planted a whole row of it.

Come harvest time, Dad cut it all down and make big bundles out of it. The bundles were a couple feet wide and 6-8 feet long.

He then popped them in the bed of his big old Fod pickup and hauled them to me, a nice little trek.

The whole time, he was just a little bit worried that he might get pulled over. Not for speeding. Not for weaving or anything like that, but because he had a whole pickup bed full of some ‘weed’.

Luckily nothing happened, but all that worry could have been resolved if he’d looked up ford truck accessories and got himself a bed cover!

Then no-one would have wondered, and he wouldn’t have worried!

And yes, now I have sweet annie growing here too! LOVE that scent!
