have two plants on my dresser in my bedroom that wilt

or grow mold because of the sparse or super strong

sun. It's very strange.

I am from Kansas. Produce is so cheap and we have

farmers markets. I have to drive down south to Austin

for cheaper produce and a farmers market. I live in

the sucky Killeen/Ft. Hood area where people only eat

meat, dairy and potatos. And those are even frozen.

You should see the frozen food sections here! Never in

my life! Fast food chicken is also king here.
