Well… “top of the morning to ya!” We hope all is well in regards to you guys! Deb, Cheyenne, and I are doing just fine.
The weather is absolutely beautiful, and we had an inch of rain a couple nights back. Good night it had been dry, dry, dry! I’m thankful for every drop, but this year rain is in short supply. But this is our dry season. We normally don’t have any and just catch them out ahead of a front.
In the average season we won’t see much until June, then, the afternoon showers start, many times daily. If it rains early and the sun gets back out, it’s just like a dern sauna. You catch one late in the evenin, sit out on the porch, swingin and that good breeze blowin through…that’s livin!
Well, the greenhouse is still coming along, and boy are we enjoying this. This really is truly a great experience for us both.
We had gotten our beds in as we’d told you guys earlier, and boy did we get a surprise in that we have dern weeds comin up in two of our three beds. Startin to look as if we’d planted a cover crop.
The two beds with this problem were the two beds we had used Miracle Grow garden soil. It’s amazing the amount of weeds, and grass, that are coming up in them! Plus, we’ve not put ANY water on them as there’s nothing growing in them at this time?? I honestly don’t know what this will be once we do start watering in these beds?
But, I’ll contact Miracle Grow today and speak with someone about this problem. I really, or would like to believe they’ll do something on account of this. We’d bought over 300 bags of their soil mix. This cannot be the product they are turning out consistently on a full time basis. If so, then I just imagine their product would not continue to be used period, if, this were the case.
I do know firsthand from being a small business owner that there are times…you’re only as good as the people around you. Someone not paying attention to what he or she is doing, or getting in a “bad batch” of material being used. This has happened before in our business, by simply having a bad mix of asphalt, for example.
So things DO happen from time to time that are what you’d call, out of your hands, or even human error. I want to think that this will be Miracle Grows understanding as well, and honestly I think that will be the case.
I’ll keep you guys updated in this regard.

‘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!
