Article is a pretty good summary of what all has been going on.  Once the place is cleaned up, time for some serious fishing.

A fine run, sorry things must change for you. Best of luck in your feature endeavors. ( I spent many hundreds of hours in the back room of the florist shop in Castroville at my mothers side and undoubtedly gave my little g/f's roses grown by your family business) -Amos

Sorry to hear about this Eugene.


My family has been in the flower (chrysanthemum) business for years but with the importing they didn't make much money so they went over to the vegetable trade. Its hard out there doing agriculture now a days if you don't grow more than 100+ acres

That sucks.  They trade the American rose business for a supposed reduction in illegal drug manufacturing.  Anyone notice that there's less drugs around?  Sorry to hear about it.
