The longer this goes on, the fewer masks I've seen. There was a time
when not too many people wore them, then it seemed like almost everybody
wore them. Now it's trending to not wear them. I still wear one, most of
the time when I'm out. I tell people it's not so much to protect me from
you but to protect you from me. Even tho I don't have the virus, I still
have a cough from allergies or whatever fairly often so this way if
people hear me coughing, they see I'm covered.

That would be a good way to go about it. Have them leave some, but not
all the zuchinni on your porch, same with tomatoes and yellow squash.
