How do you make jelly out of violets? Violets rank right up there with dandelions and clover—half the world is trying to eradicate them and the other half is busy blowing dandelion fluff!
I’m looking at the same 60 hour + right here shortly—if not this week, then next. We hit that spot every year when the green house is full to bursting, then the weather changes overnight and we get wiped out. Then people wonder why our plants are gone/too small, as if we can jsut wiggle our noses and produce more. Sigh.
Here’s a laugh for you guys—Gentleman came in the other day, wanted a pound and a half of potato seed. I grabbed a couple seed potatoes, put them in a sack, weighed them, showed him and asked—is this enough? He looks at me, dead serious, and says—no, I want potato seeds. One of the old farmer/loafers was sitting by the woodstove and I thot he was going to roll. We both managed to keep a straight face until the guy left—with the potatoes.
All the farmer said was—he hasn’t got a clue.
I can top that...though I know exactly what you mean, LOL!
Try keeping orders straight for dozens of crates of onions, when EVERY customer’s name is “Vang,” most with the same first name too, LOL!
Yep. It’s just starting for me; end of April, when I open up the yard, is going to be nuts this season. I have three new workers to train today. I’ll be Mother Duck with her babes following her around all day.
