Roadside business here...
I would estimate at least 360 pumkins, if they all grow...should let the kids come in to name the plants now and take care of them, too. Might need help from a local organization to do the selling in the fall, like the local lions club or Lion's cub's if the school has a club...scouts would be good at this...
a fund raiser with him making a small donation to the organization and getting their help again in next years project...if he live's in on of our liberal la la land towns, he will need a business permit.
Its the way of the entire world now...
lot's of money to be made in Pumpkins...

Oh David, you completely misunderstood. He has no intention of selling them. He just wants the local kids to be able to pick out their pumpkin for free.

Well, you know how kids are - ya hand one kid something for free and the next thing ya know, your surrounded by kids.
I suspect he will be as generous with adults who want to can the pumpkin flesh for pies and soups and such, too. At one time or another, he has been helped in some way, large or small, by everyone in the neighborhood and he wants to be able to give something back - thus, the pumpkin patch.

A former Mayor was in front of me today at the bank...as we shook hands, I asked him how he was doing...
He said..."I'm stocking up on gold coins." and he showed me four coins he was buying..
I said, "Silver is due to take a big jump."
He replied, "I'm stocking up on silver too...we're buying it in bulk."
I asked, "Any food in the pantry?"
He said, "Bought a lot of canned goods at Aldi's but right now we are canning everything we can get our hands on."
That was the entire conversation...I'm sure the Teller thought we were speaking in a foreign language.
Wise man and he was a good Mayor too.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This week, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate met with several of our nation's governors to discuss emergency preparedness and ensure that as many resources and plans as possible are in place prior to any potential emergency.

Note :
If the Model Emergency Health Powers Act is implemented on the instructions of WHI, it will be a criminal offence for Americans to refuse the vaccine. Police are allowed to use deadly force against “criminal” suspects.

"US State Dept has advised embassies worldwide to stock up on a year's worth of the local currency in anticipation of collapse of the US dollar."

Makes you wonder, when the interests controlling the federal government were going to tell the American people to prepare for this? ****ERS!
Note :
From what I can determine, corn beef hash has a longer shelf life than spam or canned lunch meat. So on the back shelf, fish steaks (herring) or sardines at about 5 years, then corn beef hash, with canned salmon and spam on the front shelf at about 2 years.

That ex-mayor also said he had an AR-15 ready and about 5,000 rounds of ammo..(he must have sneaked that rifle home about 30 yrs ago...) I didn't add this comment to yesterdays post...wanting to be politically correct...
We laugh boys and girls but the situation is serious...The Captian of our 'ship of state is deaf, dumb and blind....and he isn't even a Captain.
The ship is begining to sink and his comrades (our congressional Dems) are begining to abandon the ship, telling him everything is 'high and dry...
I love the loyalty of the political world...
Hillary in the wings to pick up the peices...can anybody see it yet?...
This is an other Clinton Presidency...Hills...only not in name.
