Is it warm? Put them in a window

Sort of. It’s like 40s-50s, colder at night. Window would probably work!! I guess people never had heat mats before lol it just said for some of the seeds, like peppers and tomatoes, that love warmth, that they germinate better at warmer temperatures or whatever, but I guess it’s not really necessary haha

Leadership is having vision to see these things and strategize them. This has been going on in the world since December last year and the WHO declared it a worldwide pandemic in January. They already HAD that information and sat on their hands until March.

Washington should have started with suppliers back then. The folks who make the essential medical equipment and the folks who make the household cleaning goods that were going to be needed and had them increase their production to the max back then. Then as the first cases began to appear they should have started with the public service home hygiene and hunkering down strategies. They could have done them on a rolling basis as cases began to appear around the country.

That would have slowed the progression of the disease. That might have kept the economy rolling even if it slowed down. That would have forestalled the panic for household goods. That would have prepared online businesses to increase hiring to handle the demand coming. THAT is the point of government: a cohesive comprehensive ability to act when events are too large for individuals and local communities. And he still has states and localities trying to outbid one another for essential medical equipment in shop supply. THAT is what PR and lying to people about how he's got this in hand NEVER was going to be able to handle and what has exacerbated this problem all around the country.

Vote for whoever you want in November -- that's your right and your obilgation -- but OPEN YOUR EYES and see what is going on. This country is more vulnerable today than it's been in my 73 year lifetime and who is at the helm as someone decides to take advantage of this vulnerability will MATTER.

Back then China was insisting that there was no human to human transmission and kept trying to hide it. It was already running rampant for a month when the US government got notification. How many people travelled in and out of China to and from the US in that time? The horse was out of the barn already. WHO kept downplaying it as well.

We understand you hate Trump. A lot of people do and a lot of people love him. Same stuff different day. Let's focus on helping each other and let this crap go.

You need to let a kindergartner re-label them. I have Roma peprs, Pepr bells, S pumpkins (Serrano peppers)... her Romas are potatoes.

You still have some time to file 2019, our fearless leader hasn't sign the "BILL" yet. (Haha, yes, it'll be a Big Bill for our children) Just like the Bush stimulus. Hubby and I haven't filed yet, in 2017 he took some $$ out of his 401K so we could put ALL New Windows in our 65yr old house. 2018 taxes are 'Inflated' compared to our normal income. I'm working on our taxes now

Let me just say one thing about our leader and representatives not causing a big uproar about this in the beginning...

If our leader or representatives would have fully come out and said how bad this is and not downplay it, our country would have completely crumbled. You think people were panicking when the CDC started coming out about it, imagine if our leader did that right off the bat... People would have gone completely insane and destroyed stores. When people aren't slowly weaned into stuff, they panic. Our country needed to be slowly weaned into what was going on because we as Americans cannot handle tragedies or disasters. We panic, its what humans do.

I know people don't like him and some people like him or what not, but We need to stop dealing with what happened in the past and deal with what is going on today...

What happened 3 weeks ago has already passed by and there's no point in digging it up even more, we need to look at today and what we are going to do tomorrow...

well 90% of the poll think that the leadership is doing a good job. I think the timing was best for us and also, compared to most of the world, we have done much better than most countries.

I hear so many lies and mistruths and misquotes that I have to turn off the tv. Its horrible. And each state has their " at home quarantine rules'' and "social space" timing by their governor.

I don't care who's media you listen to but please go to the top for information .. Like Dr. Fauci. All in this country have been doing the best they can and bending over backwards to deal with this matter having never experienced this ever. Dr, Fauci and team supply the facts. But a Leader needs to take that into major consideration AND mesh a lot of other decisions like money, economy, getting money to unemployed, try to keep big business and small keep afloat so people have a job to go back to. and all concerning America. Sometimes this is mis-quoted as "the pres. contradicts Dr. Fauci". Not true. The pres has to take a lot of stuff into consideration .

Please verifywhat you hear from the media with what the top people are actually saying.

Yeah and I have pots. These herbs most likely will stay on my deck.
