    I don't think the argument was on our beliefs.... I don't believe any ofvthe "claptrap" about evolution either, but that's because of my faith. That's not part of the discussion, I don't think. And I would hate to think that it's about religion :( To me, its about science vs science lol. Now...

    I don't think scientists agree on ANYTHING, Bee :D We could go all day about evolution vs adaptation, flood vs meteors, billions of years lost on the stupid dinosaurs :P It's already written down in a big book for convenience, but scientists just have "theories"../ Definition of theory? A...

    Lol hey @Beekissed and @duluthralphie, got a joke for ya ;) There's this scientist, and he doesn't believe in God. Says he can create life from nothing, just like God did, so God challenges him to a contest. If he can create life in 24 hours, he wins, and proves that man is as good as God. The...

    Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. Lol Danvers are my top choice for bulk, fresh taste, and canning. The rainbow ones were almost bitter, and they didn't grow nearly as well as the good old Danvers. I did the purple dragon ones too, and they were IMPOSSIBLE to get out of the ground without a fork, almost...

    Yep, growing fodder... It's great for areas that get blasted into winter with no greens in sight. ;) I use grow trays under grow lights ( stating the obvious lol), and they sprout really fast, depending on what you're growing, and there's more nutrient value to it... It's almost like...

    Same here with the cukes and squash... I try to throw them down hard enough to shatter the outside, then they pretty much gut them, and I've got a bunch of "cuke boats" for the kids lol ;) Beet tops. Always beet tops, and radish tops, especially the seed pods; they go nuts over them! They get a...

    In a pinch, you can always go get a doghouse and a kennel and lock them in the doghouse at night until you get a proper coop/run built.... Or you can get one of those little prebuolt coops with runs online, I think amazon should have some,.. or at a feed store maybe... Coop, run,.... Covering...

    That's probably right...I was thinking that even in trace amounts, its still present in the soil too..but... I'm inclined to paranoia about trivial things lol ;) Not to worried, painting is a good option; help keep taters cooler too...if I get too anxious about the lead, I'll have some painted...

    Nice rifle there ;) 22s are great all around, lighter weight... I started out on an over/under practicing on Starlings when I was 9, so its a way faster, easier shot than the shotgun... Just hard to justify the expense in ammo. And I can use my shotgun for hunting turkey, since that's...
