Well I am going to try it today with some seeds because I have a ton of seeds that we had got and I didn't plant them all yet. I was planning on doing turnips, beats, eggplant, and some other things.

I'm going all out this year with plants because we really have no choice. I can't just go walk into a grocery store and buy tons of fruits and vegetables like I used to do. I don't even trust the fruits and vegetables at the store at this point because everybody touches them.

That’s awesome!!! I’m trying to grow most of my food too haha I planted a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago but still have some more stuff like beans, peas, beets, carrots, and some more greens. Have tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, 2 lettuces, onions, squash, and herbs coming up so far. Have tons of tomatoes and eggplants the peppers a lot aren’t coming up but a few of the good ones are haha

ETA: And yeah, I don’t trust it cause of all the stories of people purposely sneezing and coughing on them

@KDOGG331 do you know who was talking about using the grocery bags the reusable ones to plant plants in?

I found about four or five of them that were no longer using and I wanted to use them.

Speaking of planting things in bags I actually learned something kind of interesting the other day. Most animal feed bags are made of woven recyclable plastic. Just lined some wooden garden beds with them and it was perfect and free. I was thinking you could probably fill one with dirt and plant they're pretty strong

Hello all. My husband has cancer. He was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. He has had chemo, 35 radiation treatments and Ivor Lewis surgery. He was cancer free for 9 months. It has returned in one lymph node and is currently getting chemo. He was told on his fb by someone (who was complaining about not opening everything) that he is going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter. Basically, told to go and die. I also belong to a cancer group for his type of cancer. Many of those people were told the same thing by others since covid-19 has come out. He is devastated. I am in Mama Bear mode. You sure see the true nature of people during this virus outbreak. He had many people just break contact when he was first diagnosed, they don't know what to say or do. But this - is heartbreaking.

I am so sorry!! So many out there seem to flap their lips (or finger tips) before their brain engages!

OMG!! I am hoping your hubs is getting the care he needs for his illness and not going to let idiots and their unthinking unfeeling words hurt him.

I would be flaming mad too.

@FortCluck turns out @21hens-incharge was the one who suggested the feed bags and @SnapdragonQ was the one who suggested the cloth Wal-Mart type ones and I think @Molpet too (said any reusable type one would work not just Wal-Mart). I went back and looked haha not sure which bags you were asking about but hopefully this helps.

The Walmart here doesn't do cloth ones anymore. But yeah the cloth shopping bags seem like a good option too
