I was driving home the other night and noticed someone down the road from us had put up a little makeshift roadside vegetable stand to sell garden produce and eggs.

Mavis – I have so much produce, flowers AND honey (I am a beekeeper) to sell, but we are fairly new to the street, and our neighbor, about seven houses down, has had a veggie and honey stand for years.
