Hi there, and welcome back to Ridin’ Out the Recession. What a beautiful day today, it’s a little breezy because of a front pushing through, but it cooled it down some and it’s really nice out. Also, let me say thanks for dropping back in to visit with us again.
Well, Deb and I had a little surprise about a week ago. We had a greenhouse delivered to our place, and man are we looking forward to having it set up! This will really be used a lot, especially in regards to keeping a few vegetables going year round and supplying us with fresh juice even during winter.
We have a buddy, Billy, who has worked around the nursery business here in Central Florida for many, many years. He’s built them, maintained them, shoot, there ain’t too much of anything Billy can’t do period!
So, he’s been looking for us for a GOOD, used greenhouse, and the scoundrel came up with one for us. I originally wanted a 24’x60’ or so, and Bill said go ahead and get a 30’x100’, if he could get one run down. I thought this might be a little overkill for our needs, but as Billy says, “You’ll ALWAYS use the space, SO, if I can find one you ought to go ahead and take the extra space…you will use it.”
Well, I got to thinking that if a greenhouse is anything like a barn, you can’t ever have too much space, so I told him to go ahead on!
He couldn’t find one that size, so I told him just to see what he could find pretty quick, because we need to get it up. A couple days later he calls and says, “I have a 16’x60’, ya’ want it?” I asked him why it wasn’t here yet, he laughed and said I’ll have her to you just directly…and he sure did! My ole’ buddy, Billy…what a guy he is!
Deb and I both are ecstatic over this, and the 16x60 is much more what we had in mind originally, so the size made no difference to us in the least. We are just happy to have it here on the place, and we’re kinda’ “bitin at the bit” to get it completed and producing!

‘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!
