thanks - it could long term pan out to be a very very useful contact, and a long term steady bit of income.
He definitely seems a very pleasant fellow, and I think we can do him a very competitive price - and I know he really likes the idea of not having to store stock themselves as we can pretty much supply next day or two days on demand. Honestly we have the storage space ourselves to be able to manage to keep a supply on hand for them. That's a big advantage for them
Farming, or even gardening, is heavily dependent on the randomness of weather and climate. (Which is why I don't do it.) But whatever you manage to harvest is more than you had before.
from a purely practical standpoint at this juncture the gardens have been a bit of a failure - true all harvested food is more food than we had before - BUT considering so far there's been about $1000 worth of plantings and less than $100 worth of return. Not a good investment. However, the grapes have another 2 years before they should be producing (and they were by and large the largest investment) and the asparagus, currants, gooseberry, blackberry and rhubarb should all start producing next spring ... I remind myself *patience*. Odd hobby for a Leo to take up .... this gardening, patience thing. I think I'm deliberately driven these days to things that teach me the things I don't have. (I've also been indulging in a bit of vinta-culture

I am far too familiar with living hand to mouth - we're still doing it, to some degree, because just when it seems we have a reasonably regular setup going, my husband breaks a tooth, or the car's catalytic converter fails, or the air conditioner in the bedroom (the weather's still a bit warm down here) starts putting out toxic smoke.
And in this third millennium, why don't you set up a Kickstarter for one or another of your enterprises - or even just to buy you the woodstove? There's no shame in that any more... think of it as busking on a busy street, with a cigar box on the ground next to you for "contributions". I've already considered doing just that, several times, but in each case something happened that just barely pulled us back from the edge.
Monday night is the Equinox - how about harvesting something other than fruits and vegetables?
