I've paid my local CSA for a full share, and the check has cleared.  So far, we've gotten some spinach!
(This is my version of a victory garden.  I grew up on a farm, and worked it since I was old enough to walk.  It's the reason I went to college: so that I would *never* have to farm.  :-]  My wife occassionally talks about putting in a garden, and my reply is, "You have fun with that.")
