So many comments... gotta comment in blocks of pages I guess.
Super useful, thanks for posting! I keep my seeds and plant them until they no longer sprout, and then I turn the packet sideways in my seed bin so I know what to order for the next season.
Hate to bring this up, but I think part of the reason golf is being allowed in some states (while public parks are closed) is due to socio-economic reasons... that is, the people who make the decisions are also the people with money. Golf takes money - for memberships, for equipment.
Amen.
I think this is starting to wear on a lot of people. I've noticed, during this past weekend and this week as well, there's a lot more people out and about than before. I think people are really fatigued with isolation and just desperate to be somewhere else. At least around here we're permitted to "leisurely drive" if that's what someone wants to do to get out of the house.
State by state. WA state is currently extended until May 4th I think?
You're lucky then to have a family that's close. Unfortunate reality is, not everyone has good relationships with their family. To tell them they have to stay locked up with parents or siblings or a partner who is abusive to them... you can't imagine how difficult this must be right now. Honestly surprised the rate of death or serious injury from domestic battery haven't skyrocketed, or maybe it's not being published.
How long seeds last

I think golf is a way for people to get out of the house, get exercise, fresh air and sunshine while maintaining social distance unlike some sports that put you in close contact like, say, basketball or volleyball.... people are doing a lot of bicycling these days too.

And I bring it up because conversations about things like how COVID-19 has effected us based on race, sexuality, gender, etc. have been dismissed as off topic and political by the same people who thought it was ok to talk about shooting people during food shortages. Someone earlier called me a troll for bringing up the FDA changes for gay people and blood donations. Another person said it was too off topic to discuss how we should all wear masks to help normalize it for black people and asians. A lot of people DID claim they didn't see racism happening so it wasn't there while also not being in a position to see it.
Amen.
It's a lot. We've only gone out for groceries, feed, medicine or G's work since the first week of March. Even all that is reduced. We're going out for groceries about half as often right now.
It's starting to really wear on me. My mental health thrives on having a healthy social network and it's largely gone.

Just verifying. My husband said the quarantine has gotten extended til end of May. Are they just doing little extensions so people don’t freak out if they had told em from the start that the quarantine would be 6 months (just said a random number)
Edited to add: or is this only in GA? Or nationwide? Thanks!!

I honestly don't get how people get irritated with their family and they can't handle their family though, that makes no sense to me.
I just don't see how people could be hating their families or their home because they are locked up in it for a couple of weeks or a month.
