This sugar cane was being commercially grown in Vista, CA...which is in Northern San Diego County. I had no idea sugar cane was commercially grown in San Diego County. It's usually grown in the Imperial Valley of California. Photo taken Oct. 9, 2009.

Thanks! I'm glad it evoked some wonderful times for you!

Aleyna:

You're correct...however, I think this sugar cane is grown just
for the sugar. : > )
