What David really needs is about 20 acres and a huge greenhouse so he can really grow everything that he wants without having to worry about floor or ceiling space. nodding nodding

Thumbs up Hurray! Drooling When we first moved back to St. Joseph from New England, we were considering buying 60 acres and growing big blue stem Not sure why we didn't. Wish we had of. Even more so, wish we had and had planted it in Milkweed. Would be filthy rich now.

60 acres would be perfect for me. I need the space. Can't stand neighbors being too close to me. Doubt I'll ever get far enough ahead in the work force to afford anything though. But I enjoy looking at them at least. Hilarious!

David,
That would have looked awesome! With the milkweed you could have single handedly saved how many Monarchs?

Pepper,
Yep, elbow room. I'm lucky we were able to buy an empty lot next to us on each side. I couldn't have anyone closer and farther would be wonderful.

David,
I am lucky to be surrounded by good neighbors on all sides. I can go a block over, same story. We all get along, but we all come out at different times so each of us have privacy. I can always move to another flower bed to give them privacy too.
I don't think I could live in the country tho unless it was a close walk to town. I'm a loner, but I like the social aspect also.
Guess it's a good thing me, and all the older than me, folks grew up here. Not many strangers.
