[BucketBack]

I didn't see any flowers on any of my 100 trees that flower this spring

I only got one, . . . but same result.

Think it may become smoker fuel later this year, . . . along with an apple and a peach, . . . just tired of not getting anything on any of them.

May God bless,
Dwight

That is what farming is all about.
Too cold, too hot, too wet, too dry.
too few insects, too many insects.

It is a never ending battle with nature. If there is one truth in this life it is that you can never win against mother nature, the best you can ever get is a tie.

I am not a farmer, I am NOT a farmer, I am NOT a FARMER!
I need to invent and build a large scale indoor farm. Climate controlled 200 acre farm with walls and a roof, insulation and circulation.
I could use skylights and LED grow lights, a sprinkler and mister system with enough room to run a tractor, and other equipment with photo-voltaics on the roof to power it.
I need a batch of bee hives too.

Can you think of anything I am forgetting?

Not one I'm interested in growing.
I want a sustainable food supply not something to make me stupid(er). ;)

Its not stupid to make some money.

Esmeralda can smoke them faster than any two people can roll 'em

That's ok, for me my morals get in the way of contributing to another's weakness. Somebody else will make the profit supplying recreational drugs to those who want them.

Put it on the moon, call it a greenhouse. They are still talking about Terra Forming Mars. That would be interesting. If they could pull it off. But a greenhouse like that on earth would be a waste. A waste of electricity and resources. You put seeds in dirt and keep them happy then you get food. The End.
