Re: Re: What will one acre grow?? 17,000 that's great.

 Wow!! 17,000. I know your place looked not crowded and great, so glad to
know it's more than 10,000.

I hope your water is fixed.
Other Linda (Prescott) mention she had some round metal part in her shipment
and wondered if it was a piece from the water system??

I think we made national news w a UFO in our little town.  It landed in the
river, which is at flood stage, so we'll know more when the water goes down.


We really think it was some kids playing w a rocket they built.
Maybe Linda's thing was a UFO.

17,000 per acre give or take a few 100.  Must be dug every year.
