We were going to my granddaughters dance recital today and our daughter wanted some things from the garden. The wife said if it all fit we could take the 914.
For those who haven't been to my house, I have 3 acres in the country and plant a small garden every year, and have a few fruit trees.

Sure, Stocktons close. Probably better to text me, cell coverage here is spotty, texts seem to work better.

Thanks everyone, it gives me something to do when I'm not working on cars.
My wife takes a lot to our hair salon for her clients, but there is still a lot....go big or go home. piratenanner.gif chowtime.gif

Drive that to the local farmers market and just open the hood. What a great display!

Put some of that in the rear trunk and by the time you'd get there, you'd have cooked veggies. chowtime.gif

Wow Jeff, that's some beautiful produce. I used to have a garden in TX. Great therapy! BTW, I have that piece of carpet that is missing in your front trunk. Won't need it in my conversion. pm if you want it. Just pay shipping.

Well, isn't that the point here, to educate and entertain each other, glad you enjoyed it.

I agree, I've got blackberries....but they rarely make it out of the garden...guess I need to plant more. drooley.gif

Appreciate the offer, I do have the piece of carpet, took it out when I had the car tore down, was going to repaint the trunk, just keep forgetting to put it back in, even have the glue on the shelf.
After I posted the picture I noticed it, thought oops..that doesn't look so good..oh well.

Thanks again everyone, been enjoying the comments.
Picked more this morning, cooler weather is slowing it down a bit, but with what was left from yesterday, there's still a lot. Plus pears, necterines, and peaches on the trees.

Awesome veggies.

Just don't nail the throttle or jam on the brakes too hard on the ride or you'll end up with a veggie medley.
Bartlett 914
I remember while dating my wife we stopped at the nursery and picked up 2 bales of peat, flats of flowers and a tree rose. It all fit in the 914. We stopped at the grocery on the way home. Imagine the looks we got with one bale ticking out the front. Another bale sticking out the back and a tree rose on the floor on the passenger side. One woman did a double take and came back. "Where's the motor" she asked. Real fun and a great memory

Nice gardening! We have been fighting the rabbits and quail. I didn't even suspect the quail until I saw two of them standing on top of my broccoli pecking away at it. Apparently I'll have to build a fully screened-in area to keep the buggers out.

I don't have 3 acres, so our garden is a bit smaller, something like 10ft x 20ft and it got started late. We are just starting to get tomatoes now.

We are leave on vacation tomorrow, heading south from Carmicheal and may take you up on the offer and stop in.

Can I get my truck and 26ft 5th wheel trailer in and out of your place.

Sounds good Jim, I have a big circular driveway with road access on both sides, I've had up to 35' in and out no problem.

I'll be home all day working in the shop, text me when you get close and I'll lock the dogs up and open the gate, I'll save a watermelon for you. chowtime.gif
