Neptunes harvest

[Nematode]

It comes in as fish here at the state fish pier.

Is stored in these trailers. (I think)

And processed here:
The tanks are full of fertilizer.

Just a FYI from Gloucester

I like fish emulsion, but had to chuckle at those huge tanks with the signage "Fresh Fish" on them.

For some reason, probably because I am just crazy, I had a cartoon moment of opening a tap on those tanks, and catching whole fresh fish squeezing out of the tap and becoming full sized again!

A mind may be a terrible thing to waste, but my mind just doesn't behave for too long!

The pictures are great.

I know Neptunes harvest very very well, and read the history of this variety to see how I knew.

I did talk to the owner, he was wonderful in giving me all the info he could. He is now retired and his kids have taken over the company.

I love their products, both the fish and the algae b'c they are cold extracted which means that many amino acids and minor nutrients are preserved.

and when speaking of New England similar products there's always;

Squanto was the Indian who befriended that Pilgrims and helped them get through that first winter.

>>> The tanks are full of fertilizer.

It's fish juice concentrate. Just dilute with water, tastes as good as fresh.

No, he didn't just walk up to the Pilgrims initially and say HI, howya doin, not all all, he was captured, taken to England, then to Spain to be sold, learned English and on and on.

But eventually made it back home where he did help the pilgims through that first hard winter and did teach them about the three Sisters way of growing corn and beans and squash.

We in the NE, as was said above, knew our Indian tribes from all over the area, I live still in the Iroquois Five Nation area, and yes, in elementary school, as said above, we were given the Squanto story and I doubt our teachers knew much more.

We were also given the sanitized Thanksgiving story.

I think Wiki has a good discussion of all of this and of course, saying that Squanto helped the Pilgrims through that first winter.

I, for one, enjoyed reading the above since there were parts of the story that I didn 't know and I hope others of you might enjoy it as well.

Carolyn I know you like to read I know you like history and I know you like to read about plagues as I do.
You and the rest really should buy and read the book 1491.
There is no agenda or bias that I can see.
And gives different points of view.

It is a book about Pre-Colombian America (All of the Americas) and the events that took place when people started showing up here.

Those first people that showed up didn't have a clue about the hidden passengers they brought over with them.

If I had to do it all over again I would be a grade school teacher.
Soon there after I would be fired.
The first thing I would do is bring a big trash can into the class room and have the kids throw their history books away.

One time in Biology class I walked to the lab section and took a drink of the teachers chemistry experiment.
He told me not to tell anyone.
He was making moonshine.

We were not only told the story, but it was usually accompanied by a field trip to see the famous rock, the replica of the Mayflower, and some classes even got to visit Plymouth Plantation.
