Re: nursery interview apparel

I can't think of any nursery-type thing that comes in a 75 pound bag or bucket. Maybe it means "women need not apply."

Kitty, singlely, that is unbelievable. That is not expected in the shop at
Deere without lifts. I can't imagine what their injury rate is. I am second to
oldest at the greenhouse where I work and I am the only female that will lift
the 40# bags of soil. Most are young enough to be my children and they
cannot or will not. Greenhouse work is hard work. I only work till the end of May
and could not tolerate the heat on into the summer months.
