Year before last our company (Garden Center) started tightening its belt. And I mean TIGHT. There has been a core staff of FOUR this winter running things, getting ready for Spring. It’s been tough and tiring, but we have jobs!

It’s bad enough that some have had the weather working against them; many southern nurseries went belly-up due to drought, but this man-made DISASTER of an economy is going to hurt many, many others.

Learn to grow your own food. Even SOME of it. That skill is going to come in handy in the near future. :)

Pinging the FReeper Gardeners!

Since I started gardening I have only planted plants that produce something we can eat.

My wife did plant some Elephant Ear bulbs.

Trying to get my list together for an order. Looking to add just a few veggies as I have plenty of seeds left over from last year. But I will be adding some nut trees, apples, plums and cherries.

I wish my wife had gotten me a plum tree yesterday on the Romantic Day of Obligation!
