My wife rolls me, It is her life's ambition to retire.

I pretty much stopped working at the age of 45. It was great for three years but we both (my wife and I) got bored after that. I opened my nursery up agai, but I'm the only one puttin around in it, and the misses went back to work part time just to keep herself busy... Retirement isn't the end game...just let your wife know that....

The caterpillars are gregarious in all their instars, many times traveling in single file processions all over the food plant. As the larvae develop, they will lose their orange color and will turn bright green and urticating, having many spines that cause a lot of pain if touched. The spines have a poison that is released with the slightest touch. The green caterpillars have two lateral stripes, the upper one being bright red and the lower one being white

Thanks Twisty. I am reading up on it now. That thing is really nasty. I feel like I have been beat up and am suffering from a hangover! I don't think it can kill me though.

 

[CrackerJax]

You'll be fine... put some ice on it if you need to.


Yah, working a nursery is a pretty good way to live...very peaceful, and yet full of life.

I worked for parks nursery 35 years ago, They had some amazing stuff.

 

[theloadeddragon]

unfortunately you usually need to know some one to get a job at one of those places... especially around the area that I live in...... I have been looking for something decent and stable so I can give up on spending most of my time looking for the small jobs I do.

 

[CrackerJax]

If there is a particular nursery you have in mind, find out what they sell and start reading up on those species. That will go a long way.

I worked at a wetland mitigation company before I started working for a big nursery years later. At the wetland job we created islands from the ground up, and planted and saved untold multitudes of transplanted wetland aquatics and ferns and trees. Later on in the same company I started moving trees from a site and moving them with tree spades, moving them 70 miles south and sticking them in...every job just drifted into the next. I was pullin great oney down working for myself after the wetland job got snafued by an accident of a fellow DRUNK tree spade operator. Insurance killed us. So I worked for myself but my wife was afraid of the taxman so i went into this nursery to drive a delivery truck for them with the intent of part time so I could keep at my own work. Well, the owner talks to me and after five minutes gets the idea that I know my stuff pretty well. he tells me the driving position has been filled. I get up real quick and he's like WHOAH whoah there...wait a second.. next day I was up to my arse in water collecting lilies...made a grand that week and never looked back.

The point being is each job just sort of morphed into something better. Get your foot in the door, but apply yourself beforehand....it'll be recognized.

At parks my first day I gave My boss a killer joint at lunch. He did not come back. The next day he handed me a huge thick book with all the plants the soil condition, diseases, pests....blahblah. I read the book, it was enlightening.​

That was my best job ever. Then the military offered me a job I could not refuse reactivation.) Just keep trying and do not be ashamed to "spam" or network your self. Life is so much better if you can be passionate about what you do.​
