Expanding Grow Space Around the Greenhouse

Good morning guys, how are ya’ll today? Deb and I are doing great! We hope all of you are in the same boat! As you can tell from the title of today’s post, we’re at it again. Deb and I talked about this for the past couple of weeks and then made our decision to go ahead and add grow space on both sides of our greenhouse.
This will benefit us in a couple ways. First off, since we’ll have water to the greenhouse down the road a little ways, we’ll have water already right there. It’s nothing to run a few more lines and have water in our new grow space as well. It also gives us space to come right directly outside the house and go right into the ground with many of our new vegetable plants. This is a plus, although we’ll utilize our regular garden as well. We decided to use it exclusively for peas, corn, beans, etc…possibly tomatoes too. As I said earlier, Deb would like to set up some type of little stand and maybe sell a little of her produce she’s growing off, as well as some of our vegetable plants. This is all fine and good with me. This enables her to interact with people through the contact this will provide for her.

This is all good. She’s loving the greenhouse, and now really sees the benefits it provides for us both. It was her idea to start with because of the rise in fruits and vegetable cost in regards to her juicing. Man…it has gotten pretty costly in the past year or so. Again, I went to the grocery store a couple weeks back, and literally was amazed at the cost today. You don’t think they’ll continue to rise?? Well, think again my friends…you only have to look at the fuel prices, and the direction they’re headed! $4.15 a gallon here, and expected to keep on truckin! Speaking of trucking…those guys run on fuel. Higher cost at the pump means higher cost at the store. Any type of store! Hang on to your britches my friends…it’s gonna get worse before it gets better! Quickly…GET OUT AND VOTE this year, our entire way of life is on very, very shaky ground! This election is, and I personally believe it truly is, the most important election that Deb and I have ever been involved in. If we’re to keep the rights and freedoms bestowed upon us through our Constitution, and our Founding Fathers... you better get out and vote! Your children and grandchildren need our help…vote the fact…not the hype! More...

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!

Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end.  But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.

Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.

Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
