Although your post was 9 years ago, i wasn'...Oh! Although your post was 9 years ago, i wasn't following Mr. Meatball back then. Growing up in Baton Rouge, LA, we grew "ca cutzee" as thet were pronounced. Although I can't claim to be Italian (hey, none of us is perfect), lots of Italian-Americans live in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, so these things were grown by a lot of people. It was probably back in 1964, a hurricane blew through Baton Rouge. Me and my young wife were living in a two story with a cloths line reaching from our back porch over to the garage. Cacutz' was planted nearby and had grown across the cloths line. Hurricane first stripped the leaves and the cacutz' were exposed to view and so many began to blow in the wind. it took a lot, really a lot of wind over a couple of days for any of the cacutzs to break away. At end of hurricane, one or two survived. I live in Oregon now and might just plant some next spring. Thanks for listening, enjoy your posts of family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061462416147676243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-29370279289232402992010-09-12T20:47:42.157-04:002010-09-12T20:47:42.157-04:00If I send a SASE....If I send a SASE....Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601656778586008081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515095700241511531.post-37048977628593095602010-09-10T13:23:36.483-04:002010-09-10T13:23:36.483-04:00They look like snakes alright!
