- About Me:
- I am a good calm guy and consider myself good natured.Baking and vegetable gardening is what i like to do.I dont like complicated situations and look for easy solutions to problems when i can. I have a big interest in fruit trees and the process of growing and harvesting the fruit,for me its rewarding and fulfilling.My advice on buying fruit trees is that you should start with a tree in a 15 galllon pot or 24 inch pot because the trees are older and will give you fruit sooner but go for whats best for you.

Debra said… - Thanks for the info on the grapes. The farm is in Iowa, I was planning on heading that way in a few months. But, my mom is having the house torn down and is putting up a big shop for the farmers who lease the land. It's such a shame, by the time I have anything to say about things, our world will be in such bad shape.
