Farming......yeah, plenty of farmers around who would love to use, lease, buy my farm. I don't want that. Simply a person/family who wants a LARGE veg garden. Just that. I am not having the crops and chemicals back on here so long as I have it.

Last year a couple people on CL wanted to "use" land. One wanted a couple acres to live in a teepee & have a garden, cow, chickens. That wasn't what I wanted, so didn't respond. Another wanted a garden spot. I contacted him thru CL only and said I'd want to meet him first -- get references, etc. That was that, he dropped it. You have to be careful nowdays! I'm not looking for trouble & I sure don't want to have to shoot anyone.

Oh for sure, and I said farmer, but sort of meant "young person who is interested in farming and wants to try their hand at a large garden to gain experience" lol. It can for sure be difficult to find the right fit!

I've actually never used craigslist myself, but I get the impression it can be pretty sketchy at times!

It's a shame what has became of the country - just can't trust people nowadays. Sad

Down in the back, so not much at all, but have been picking off HUGE horn worms the past three days...one worm for each day. Those things give me nightmares! :eek: :sick

Another big horn worm...how do they get so big without me seeing them in the garden before now???? HUGE! Good thing they have such big turds or I'd never spot them until too much damage had been done. :somad

My wife says she's allergic to tomatoes. All I can say is she better get over right quick...this is picking from 2 1/2 rows.I still got 3 1/2 rows left to pick - so this isn't even 1/2 of them.
