Dollar Tree has recently been selling fruit from China mostly in glass
jars. When I saw where it came from I put it back on the shelf. I just
don't trust food from China. Some nutritionists have said the best
thing to do is eat locally grown products. That can't be done easily,
but at least we can buy mostly from this country. My local fruit
market has stock all year long. Out of season locally items come from
Florida, Mexico or South America.
I need to homestead a farm.

Well I would love to Harry, but I'll be working in my own.
Dawn, who thinks that the garden is going in next weekend.
