    Unfortunately companies don’t work like this. We pulled our entire business services (ex. things like accounts payable) from Canada due to their high regulations and what not to relocate some into Mississippi and most into the country of Colombia. Now I completely understand raising tax rates on the wealthy as they’re mostly anchored to a nation, but regulations are tough because companies are smart and can work around them.

    Multinational companies run things anymore, not countries, so while I’d agree that some of those safety nets would be nice, large companies will simply go where the labor is cheaper and capable, net more money, and beat up the competition that isn’t doing so.

    So what do we do so we aren’t left with two classes. Very poor peasants and a few rich elite?

    I find it very interesting you are able to grow those plants in this climate zone. Even in the summer. We get lows in Lansing in the Upper 40s in July some years and, to my knowledge, upper 40s is likely to kill those types of flora.

    Yeah they don’t like cold feet and struggle in June most years. So I’m hoping the heating cable alleviates that. Soil temp over 70 with it already has me feeling pretty good. Here is the same bed on the day I took it down last October 7th. be71c689b2e9d2ea768027b86803f4f7.jpg

    wow nice! looks a bit like my backyard back home

    Thanks. Put a 1000 watt gutter heating cable in the ground this summer. That way I won’t get so mad when we get low 60s and overcast several days into June.

    Im currently waiting on my Musa Basjoo. Hopefully able to pick it up in a week or two and get them growing. I bought 3 gal ones. Kind of upset not able to get them until late May/Early June but considering it snowed last week here wasnt going to be able to do much with them anyways. 
    How big do you think the 3 gallon ones will grow from June 15th to October? One is being planted in the ground and the other in a pot. 

    Should get 5-6 feet tall I think. I’m growing tall Orinoco and Thai black. The Thai black grow the fastest but are not hardy here. I dig up and put them in the greenhouse for winter. They are the tall ones in the middle. Love their blackish stems.

    Never had luck overwintering basjoo in the ground in Wisconsin so I stopped trying to grow them.

    Heard today of a few construction sites shutting down in Waukesha County, with positive tests abundant. 30+ positives at one site alone.
