Re: nursery interview apparel

I was laid off about 4wks ago.  There's very little available here.  I
rather doubt I'll get the job, I'd expect them to want someone younger.  The
job would entail working with the public, stocking and watering.  I'm a
little concerned about the weight lifting, but maybe it would get me in
shape!  Also, I'm not sure I could get by on what a nursery laborer is paid.

I'd been working at my last job since before I began gardening, so working
at my hobby was never an option.  But, yes, I think that could alter my
views.  But I guess it is worth a shot.
