slow moving, low paid,
greenhouse contractor
guy ...
Linda, has been slowly building her
nursery business. What started as an
experiment , has come of age.
After a year of trying to keep up with
auction ads on E-bay, she was awarded
level 3 Gold Power Seller status. Next she
was able to establish a successful E-bay
store, then launch an e-bay-hosted site.
Recently she applied for and received her
nurseryman's license and vegetable
license. She is now licensed to sell most
anything that grows in the dirt. This after
a couple years of waiting on her low paid,
slow moving, greenhouse
contractor guy (me).
Now thanks to my very talented sister,
Linda has launched this primary web site
and is poised to hire a 2nd part-time
employee.
I hope she knows I stand in awe of her
and her accomplishment, and how very
proud I am of her. When she sees me
make something out of a 1/2 pick up
truck load of scrap, salvaged from the
trash pile, she's always amazed at my
creativity.
But, I got nothing on these two gals.
Thanks
Jim
tastic plant facts
The descending roots of a
strangler fig encircles the
trunk of its host. The
fig kills the host tree and the
dead tree rots away. All that's
left is the fig
roots shaped in a circle.
Plants
Did you know ...
that a notch in a tree will
remain the same distance
from the ground as the tree
grows?
that a pineapple is a berry?
that both George
Washington and Thomas
Jefferson grew cannabis
sativa (marijuana) on their
plantations?
that no species of wild plant
produces a flower or blossom
that is absolutely black, and
so far, none has been
developed artificially?
that the largest single
flower is the Rafflesia or
"corpse flower"? They are
generally 3 feet in diameter
with the record being 42
inches.
that the rose family of
plants, in addition to
flowers, gives us apples,
pears, plums, cherries,
almonds, peaches and
apricots?
that peanuts are beans?
