I think the turkey vultures don't have as much roadkills so they have to look more

People have been saying they see more wildlife in public areas.. which are now empty of people

We actually have a bunch of vultures that are hanging out in the trees by our house, they are so huge. You can hear them talking to each other and it is so awesome. My husband calls it the committee they have a meeting every day around 5 pm.

The sad part is that these people don't care about others and that's what really bothers me

That's not necessarily the case. I think you're assuming they don't care. It goes back to getting some exercise and not having close contact with other people. There are no yoga classes, no pool aerobics, etc that are putting people in danger.

Since it seems I can't say a thing without lighting a fire I'll see you all around.

I like going to the stores at the end of the season and getting the 50-75% off prices or last years seeds!! That’s actually a big reason I’ve ended up with so many

Sounds like me when I go to Walmart after Christmas to hit their sales because they have those hygiene packs where it comes with deodorant soap and everything else. I like buying those and putting them under the sink for me to use.

I got a dove one that had soap a body scrub and deodorant for only $2

I have no idea what I'm supposed to cut the lettuce but ever since I put it in the pot then I'm growing it in, it has grown insanely huge.

I'm using those cloth-like pots that you can buy on Amazon and they are amazing because they have a lot of airflow.

Oh wow that’s awesome!!! I had some cloth raised beds once a few years ago when I first started out and I really liked them but my mom thought they were ugly so we got rid of them

These might help you.

I guess I am assuming that they don't care, but the reason why we are supposed to be isolating inside our homes is so that we don't spread it.

I get that people need exercise and such, but you can do that at your home outside.

I'm not sure what you're saying about lighting a fire because you have an upset anyone... At least today just messing.

I really enjoy you being in this thread and I have learned a lot from you throughout the past year so you better not be going nowhere!

I have just taken into consideration what my doctor has told me and it's not just because I have a preexisting condition... He told me that if everyone stayed home and did pick up groceries and didn't go into the stores or go anywhere, it would really slow down the traffic that is going into the hospital.

I will have to take a picture of my lettuce and post it. They were all wilty and awful looking when I bought them, but as soon as I put them in the miracle grow potting soil and inside those cloth bags, they really took off.

I actually bought I think 20 more and they are coming today so I can take a picture of them if anybody would like to see them. They aren't the exact same ones that I bought before because the ones that I bought before are no longer available, but the ones that I bought are pretty much the same thing.

I believe they are 5 gallon so they can fit a lot of stuff usually I'll put a lettuce and some other type of lettuce or bunching onions or whatnot.

Yeah it looks like mostly all the huge cities are where the virus has hit hard.

I'm on the East coast, but I am in the country so I am pretty isolated from the city. If I drive about 30 minutes I get to where there are a lot of stores and restaurants and such, but where I live it's pretty quiet.

I think we only have about four people that have been diagnosed with the virus.

It takes you half an hour to get to stores!?

We have soo many all around lol

Including some right down the street but the big shopping center and restaurants and everything are like 10-15 mins away. 5 if I speed kidding! Don’t do that anymore.

Stick around!

I forget, did you say you already had your garden planted this year?

Agreed!

We have tractor supply that is about 15 minutes from our house in Walmart is about 20 minutes from our house... We have two local restaurants that are about 5 minutes from our house.

We are pretty much out in the country and I really like it and I like that stores aren't very close.

We do have a gas station that's 5 minutes from our house.

I honestly go to Walmart only once a month and get a whole month worth of groceries so I'm not very concerned about the stores being so far away. We go to tractor supply once a month too to get all of our chicken stuff.
