I've met my fair share of "entremanures" along the way. They were usually to be found at Chamber of Commerce "Networking Mixers," collecting "contacts" for their little black books from lots of other entremanures who were collecting "contacts" for their little black books. Few of them actually did any work, they just had lots of "connections." Not quite sure what that was ever good for, because everyone at these business nerd meat markets was selling and nobody was buying.
We lived in a pretty swank area with nice yards, and at about age 7-8 I became aware that birds would eat berries/seeds and then shit... after which little trees and bush saplings would sprout. So I carefully dug them up and replanted them in an unused part of the land behind a hedge before they'd get weeded out. After maybe 3 years I had a nice little "nursery" of pretty exotic stuff I sold to all the yardmen taking care of the upscale gardens... for about half what the local nurseries charged.
And now you basically know why I tend to have a long term perspective...
lol - so true.
Interesting take on the 'long term perspective and your plants...
Mine is the total opposite - 'get what you can, when you can'.
I wonder how much of an influence our first 'money making' strategies has been ingrained, to shape our future behaviors/perspectives..?
