Here in Arizona we have two growing seasons and currently we are in our 2nd. I will soon be retiring and I feel that I am not going to want to do anything but what I want to do when I want to do it. After all these 60 some years of doing things their way, I want to be able to do things my way. Just saying. Thanks for sharing.
