LOL Same here. People really look at you funny when they ask—how’d you know that? And your answer is—the dog told me. I’ve never decided if it’s because we see/hear/ pay attention to things others don’t notice or it’s some kind of 6th sense. Don’t care—I enjoy having it.

OTOH, all the animals I’ve ever had, as a result, have more personality and quirks than circus dogs!

I manage a greenhouse—love it. Sometimes I swear the plants almost talk to me and tell me what they need when I’m transplanting/watering/etc. :)

Hey the greenhouse sounds great.

I haven’t had a cover on mine for a few years - It is like walking into another world. I started out growing lettuce and then moved to tomatoes. Problem was that I wound up having to travel a lot and couldn’t work it. Plus fuel costs even back then made it hard to turn a profit.

I am planning to take half of it and attach it to the South side of the house. Already have double barrel wood stove ready for it. That will be much cheaper than propane, the house will help cut some of the wind and it will take advantage of the windbreak I have on the west side about 150’ from the house. It was 24 X 96 but will be a 24 X 48 when I am done. It will be nice to be able to step out the back door right into the greenhouse.

What crops do you raise in the one you manage?
