my wife and i have noticed lately
that the big thing now adays is flowers
at all of the big retail outlets.... and the
veggies and herbs section has completely shrunk
In fact it's less than 30 days since the last predicted frost
typically on MAY 15th and all the seeds already got moved
plus no potatoes are left to buy for planting...
everyone wants something pretty on the front of their house
and the retailers are charging eye Bulging money for them
close to $30.00 each for the bigger hanging flowering plants
which is why thievery has gone up it seems...
By the year 2030 they're predicting food prices will double
what they cost today......

ya can't eat flowers (as i'm fond of saying)
but they are much easier to grow.
