Black market vegetables and your Posts "Clean out the root cellar/Winter vegtables!"

“You see, Rodya, to my thinking, the great thing for getting on in the world is always to keep to the seasons; if you don’t insist on having
asparagus in January, you keep your money in your purse!”

Speaking of which....farming indoors...possible, but not necessarily profitable..... (One of the reasons to keep on gardening!)

The vertical farming bubble is finally popping

"Climate change might make growing produce indoors a necessity. But despite taking in more than a billion dollars in venture capital investment, most companies in the industry seem to be withering, unable to turn a profit on lettuce." entire article at the link!

I always wondered how on earth they could make any money on those huge energy-hog indoor farms.

The old ways prove once again to be the best ways. :)

Just ready to harvest my indoor lettuces, though! They’re ‘cut and come again’ types so I’ll have a flat ready to go out to the greenhouse as soon as our temps stabilize a bit more.

Happy, Happy! :)
