While Tom was harvesting beets, he asked if I would go to the shed and bring back a pitch fork with wide tongs. I accepted the challenge! First stop, the garage I had swept out earlier in the day as I remembered seeing several pitch forks! Found one with wide tongs but the handle was missing! But I grabbed it anyway! Saw another in much better shape but it didn’t have “wide” tongs. Thought “better grab that one too just in case!” Then as I was driving the Kubota by the “market prep shed” I saw a “wide tong pitch fork with a good handle”! I thought “never can have too many pitch forks!” I’ll take that one too! When I got to Tom he picked the last one I had picked up! Guess I was right you can never have too many pitch forks! Then we proceeded to dig up leeks.
Only later did I find out that really none of those were the right pitch forks! He had actually wanted the one he left in the potato patch!
Below is pictured what I brought to Tom for his choices!
