    I have just gotten with your sites quite by accident. I am certainly enjoying the information that you have made available. I have been just eating this every day. I joined a few days ago but have not ordered any thing yet. I am just in the planning stage. I am an avid garden grower, but very excited about this, My efforts will be nothing like so many others, I am knocking on the door of 74. But am very excited about making the much needed money as well as the love for plants. Thanks for all the information and the encouragement, Nancy McBride

      Nancy,

      It’s great having you aboard! You’d be surprised to learn of the number of people we have that are doing this in your age bracket. Have fun!

    I am wanting to hear from anyone raising Blueberries through intermittent mist or hardwood cuttings. I tried several times this year with no luck. I too would love to join the board but funds are limited for me. I am a minister who gets only $100 a week from the church. Send me a friends request if like macmike Hughes on Facebook.

    I just downloaded the eNewsletter and gifts! My passion for casual gardening started when I bought my first Crepe Myrtle in 1995. While teaching full time and then moving on into a HR career I had no time for serious gardening. But the passion and the love for a well kept ornamental landscape never left me. Now I’m retired. My husband isn’t a gardener but I picked up the “bug” again to keep me inspired to learn more of the does and don’ts. Now we are living in a new home and growing a new landscape. Mike,I love the idea you have turned into a “system”. I’m ready to start planting and sharing the good news about starting a backyard plant nursery. I too wouldd be grateful for Janice to come to my place in Florida and show me how she started making money so fast. I have a physical disability so the heat is my challenge here in Florida The recession and national debt crisis may cut off some of my Social Security income! We need to have another avenue for making cash flow. If while travelling South you can come to Central Florida, you are welcome to visit and meet our family. Please let me know if you are interested in coming to Ocala and show me the tricks of the trade! I’m ready!!!!!

    I would be grateful for Janice to come to my place and show me how she started making money so fast. My husband is a disabled vet. I was laid off in 2007 and applied for disability and, of course, am still waiting. Indiana is number one for being the longest wait time to get disability. We need to have another avenue for making cash flow. Please let me know if you are interested in coming to Elizabethtown, Indiana and show me the tricks of the trade! I’m ready!!!!!

    Hi Mike,
    I look forward to seeing your videos. I would love to have you for my neighbor. I have been dabbling in plants, {veggie and ornamentals} for years. I love to create gardens and watch them grow. It is so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your information and techniques.
