Hi biz,

If I can find an acceptable excuse to drive to your orchard, and pick up  
the little Lady, I vote for that choice.

The "DINB" can be attributed to me.  I attribute it to people with lots of  
money and no brains. "double income no brains".

I am finding it easier to sell potted grapes, with built in trellises,  
that people toss out in the fall.  Just staring out on this venture.

All I need is a potted grape, with fruit forming, and it s potted with  
trellis, it sells.  Takes two years.

I really don't undstand why people are so  willing to toss away money.   
But if you can sell to them.... why not?

Later,
Tom
