    Depends on what you grow.

    I had a half acre, and something like tomatoes means you have to can them because you can’t eat them all once they are ready, and a pear tree that would produce wheel barrows full for weeks so I had to start brewing Perry.

    But in the city with only a 10x10 plot it was pretty slow going except for cherry tomatoes…those grew like wildfire up and over the fence etc. So many we had to give them away.




  • All the US automakers are the same. They went through this in the mid 2000s too. Back then it was cutting engineering staff to save profits and outsourcing.

    Until that decision showed in Part Quality and they got downgraded by JD power and other industry measures. Then management tried save it by putting together teams to rebuild skills and consumer confidence.

    One big issue was interior plastic panels with visible/touchable sharp split lines with flash. Picture shitty army men miniatures.

    My niece cut her calf open on a razor sharp flash edge of a dodge map pocket. That’s how bad it had gotten.

    One visit I went to the GM tech center to consult on some better part options, the office had about 150 cubicals and there were like 3 people working there. Outsourcing killed a ton of legacy knowledge with the layoffs.
