What is Permanent life insurance?

It is easier and more convenient to garden in
containers, whether it is flowers or vegetables. Raised
beds are easier also. They have a defined border to
keep out weeds and a barrier against grass creeping
into the garden. When garden plants are watered and
fertilized regularly, they produce more. It is easier to
water a container or raised bed with looser soil. There
is a dairy farm in Stony Point, NC that produces milk
and also composts cow manure named Daddy Pete’s.
It also makes a raised bed mix. This is another way to
Buy Local. Our potting soil is also made in NC. Our
pine needles come from a NC producer. We grow our
trees and shrubs here at the nursery. Our flowers are
grown in our greenhouses. Part of our greenhouse
heat is from wood cut here in Stokes County. We buy
our propane from a Hall Oil in Walnut Cove. We and
our employees all live here in Stokes County. We
support our local newspapers and magazines with
advertising. Growing your own flowers bring
enjoyment to you, your neighbors, and others passing
by. Growing your own vegetables and fruits is healthy.
You get exercise and improve your diet. Half of each
meal should be fruits and vegetables.
