This year Baker Creek has so many orders coming in that they’re having to use all their buildings, including the shops and the restaurant, as sorting and packaging space!
And running three shifts for distribution. They’re utilizing buildings that aren’t being used because - covid
COVID has made Fenway Park look like every other ballpark in MLB...empty seats. There were never any empty seats in Fenway prior to the lockdown and subsequent social distancing. UGH.
As you yourself have said!
(This is a personal victory garden. We are not harvesting beets or sugar cane for the collective! )
Organic Gold potatoes from my local Walmart, in the past have grown better than the seed potatoes we purchased from the nursery or catalogs.
Thanks for the ping. We’ve been busy working on the garden and shed/root cellar. Planning to expand my garden space. I have about 200 sq. ft. of raised beds and hubby has close to 1000.
I’d like another 100 sq. ft. of the raised beds and/or containers, but we’ll see how it goes. We got started in earnest in 2009—till then we just had a few mater plants in buckets.
I’m trying to figure out how to protect my corn patch — darn coon got more corn last year than I did. After trying for weeks to catch him, we finally succeeded. However, it was early morning, and hubby decided he didn’t have time to take him out to the woods, so he let him loose—SMH.
I’d have just given him some water and waited till I got back from work, if it had been me—but I was not consulted. Ha.
Adventurous white colonizers of Detroit are trying community gardens downtown. I wish them well. A couple blocks aways from one of them a “man” shot three people in a hot dog restaurant.
Even though I work about 8 miles from the MA border and live about 10 miles from the border, I have not stepped foot or drove into MA in the last 12 months.
In fact, other than driving out to WNY in March of 2020 to deal with my mothers former house, I have not left the state of NH. That does not mean I have been hiding in my house either. I just have not gone much north of the central part of the state and no reason to go south. No Sox games, no Pats, Bruins, Celtics, no concerts, no trips through Logan, no reason to go to Boston(60 miles away).
My boss has had season tickets to the Red Sox row EE right behind home plate for years. We would all use them when we had customers or suppliers come to town. He would also give them out as sales spiffs. At least up until the last two seasons.
“ Those of us that can bake bread from scratch, shoot straight and sew on a button (or stitch up a wound) are going to rule this world one day. ;) Not that we WANT to - we’d rather be left alone, LOL!”
That’s so true!!!
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
