Goobers

Someone just gave me a peach.

Is anything more Southern than a peach?

Georgia is nicknamed The Peach State.The peach is our state symbol.You see it on car tags,the state lottery has a peach as an symbol.

Peaches are grown in middle Georgia.About 50 miles from here you start seeing peach orchards and packing houses.

But now the big cash crop for Georgia is not peaches but pimentos out doing peaches and even peanuts.

Southern Belles are Georgia Peaches.

Sounds a whole lot better than being called a Southern Pimento or Southern Peanut.

But there are plenty of Goobers running around in Georgia.
