Wonderful Post. My parents operated a Greenhouse business and truck farm. Never got rich, but they enjoyed the work. I chose a different path in life, although growing plants is a big part of my life. I live in a colder climate so I grow my peppers in pots in a greenhouse.I save as much seed as I can, but for mostly my use and family members.

I grow salad greens (not lettuce) using a real basic hydroponic technique all winter to keep me in fresh vegetables. Also is great for mental health during the gloomy months.

There is nothing like growing vegetables for self use or to sell. Really enjoed the read. I will have follow you to keep up with your posts.
