That’s so funny! My chickens love the snow for some reason. They a a buff brahma and a silkie. More chicks are being raised, don’t worry- chicken math is real. The limit of chickens in my town is only 6 chickens! Very sad!

I'm interested in knowing that too. I threw away my old seeds because I heard they're no good after a year. The package even says they expire after a year.

I think that has to do with germination rate though. The older they get the less likely you are to get as many plants.

AZ has 2575 cases, 75 deaths. 20 to 44 year olds make up the most cases, 65+ age range is lower by at least 1/3.

People here are upset that our state hasn't been providing any info about where the cases are, not city or zip code info even, so we know where the hotspots are. Lawsuits are being filed.

People are also angry that golfers can golf but people with dogs can't go to dog parks where distance is pretty common. So there may be upcoming changes to what's considered an essential business.

I’m pretty weirded out by everyone who is insisting on golfing... can someone explain this fuss to me?

I say they need to shut down the golf courses, it's not essential. Some businesses shock me, they are more about the money than their customers.

The different gun rules are so fascinating to me. I’m not sure it’s quite that fast here but idk since I’ve never done it. But I think they run it through multiple databases both federal and local and also check with some mental health association to make sure you weren’t institutionalized I think.




I love this

I’m way too chicken

Mistakes? Who's gonna see it? Go for it!

That's so when you plant them at day 366 and they don't sprout...you can't demand your money back.

I do know the longer you have them the more they lose their "oomph" or their viability.

True. I like the seed packets from TSC that I got because they reseal and are made of a plastic material. I'm going to put all mine through the foodsaver and store in the cupboard and see what pops up next spring when I plant them.

Golf is social distancing. I can drive my golf ball 250 yds accurately.

I threw them away during spring cleaning then had a oh poo moment when I realized what I did I would never ask for my money back on a $5 pack of seeds. I'd just go buy more.

My survival garden is coming along great! Lots of stuff popping up and it's raining so I don't have to water today I'm anxiously awaiting to try my own tomatoes because store bought ones taste funky to me.
