I've always grown too. Paul too. I think
it's what make a good market grower - we can't NOT GROW. Maybe we can
suppress it for a while, but not for long. Must be something genetic! We
have talked about what we would do if we had just our own garden for our own
food, and believe it would have to be AT LEAST 1/2 acre.
Can't imagine growing fewer than 100 tomatoes, for instance - there are just too
many we NEED!! And, all the new varieties that are begging to be tried
each year! We may cut back, grow more of the most profitable crops, etc.
as we get older, but can't imagine ever not growing!

consider retirement down the road a few years (if my pension survives!). But I
won’t quit working. I’ll probably join your ranks as a market farmer and I’ll be
keen to use GAP as a management tool. I’m considering it for our University
research farm. I’ve always been a grower (research plots; gardens; my mother
accidentally hit me in the forehead with the back end of a hoe when I was about
7. That’s what sealed my fate!). I’ll probably grow things around my
grave! William H.
