I was thinking I could pay the neighbors to take care of the problem...that way the stench will probably be gone pretty much by the time I make a visit. This has gone way off the subject of small farmin, huh?
Heck PETA will take your cockroaches. They would rather save bugs then humans. I wonder if they ever have flowers in their house? If they do, I wonder if they realize some poor bee has just been deprived of his dinner. Pick the flowers, bring the pollen inside. Poor little bees...

What would be a good place to look with fairly inexpensive yet decent land for farming? I ain't lookin for nothin fancy, just a good honest decent place to live and work. Any input would be helpful. Thanks........
Small town farming, I don't care where you do it, north, south, east or west, I really respect how hard these family farmers work to make a buck. Living here in AR, seeing the farmers markets, the road side stands and actually getting my canning pickles from a local, family farmer, I realize how much time and energy they devote to the land. BTW, finding pickling cukes was a challenge in itself.

LOL! Good one! I saw one on Geraldo years ago, and Geraldo asked them if it was wrong to swat mosquitoes. The idiot actually seemed to think that was wrong!

I've got plans to once again raise tomatoes in the ozarks for supplemental retirement income. Either in MO or N AR. Now PETA will just have to get over the bugs I'm gonna kill. It's survial of the fit and I don't plan on losing...I don't mess with lady bugs and such but those big tomato horn worms will meet a swift demise...

so true, living in NM I had a pretty healthy garden, if I let PETA control my gardening, the tomatoes would have surcomed to those ugly green creatures and my squash the over powering squash bugs. I did loose lots of squash to them, but normally toward the end of the season. It was a blessing as hubby was about to kick me out of the kitchen if I served squash of any kind one more time, my neighbors would hide when they saw me coming to the door with my hands full and the people at church thought I was donating squash as a form of paying our pledge....
