When they had a falling out, Chuck left and went down the road to the south and started his own greenhouse. Chuck and his son Gerald, hurt by imports of tomatoes, tried growing mums, snapdragons, and later cucumbers. The business eventually succumbed and not long afterward, Ed's operation followed. Ed's grandson now owns all the property previously occupied by both greenhouses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-23635104138670261912019-06-16T18:55:45.313-07:002019-06-16T18:55:45.313-07:00This is very interesting my father worked at this ...This is very interesting my father worked at this place for many years we lived in the houses behind the greenhouse to the south when I grew up cant believe that much time has passed and the greenhouse is gone now wowRogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494688331063492534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398633296962611892.post-59231006496342318932017-10-24T18:41:53.952-07:002017-10-24T18:41:53.952-07:00Thank you!

You are living my dream. I am so grateful for your blog and photos. You've taken me from the scorching heat of Arizona in July to beautiful green landscapes and architecture I never knew existed. A history lesson, for sure and a very humbling sense of peace in my heart. These adventures, vicariously through you have been bittersweet. I look forward to your next adventure!
