We're uprooting all of the habs, caribbeans and savinas on Saturday before
the cold wave and putting them in the shed. They have *tons* of green
fruit on them that I refuse to let freeze.
Jim, you gotta get your own teenagers...
The new land we're buying isn't going to have much garden space due to
having to meet county zoning lot-line-setback requirement. I *hate* the
thought of gnawing into those big pine trees to get a garden. 6 acres and
only about 1/2 acre cleared. that was more than enough space until the
government started trying to "help" me.
Maybe we'll both be scrounging the open market.
