Rick, thanks for your tree mail, so enjoyed reading it. For sure will check out your friends " Bustani Plant Farm". Sound like a great place to spent an afternoon or a whole day at.
I don't think I could ever live in a big city, been a country guy all my life. My maternal grandparents were farmers, raised cotton on a 200+ acres farm. I have hoed many a row of cotton and picked many bags full. Now I am realizing my age. Back in those day weren't many cotton picking machines. We had a few cattle, pigs and chickens, don't ever recall going to the store to buy meat or eggs. And all the vegetables were home grown and canned. Some time I think about how good every thing tasted.
Hope your weather improves and it get warm and stays that way. I did put out some bok choy today that I had started indoors, and planted up some Day lilys seeds I had started with Deno method along with some Hardy Hibiscus. Need to plant some Poppy seeds with in the next couple of days.
Nice to have chatted with you Rick, stay warm and Warm Regards. James
