Update on me:
Im ok. It was weird going home last night with no Tank there and I was struggling with it but I messaged Jordan and he came home early from work to be with me.

Update on Jordan:
He is struggling with it and blamed himself at first but he held Tank when he passed so Tank knew he was there.

Don’t ever blame yourself or let Jordan blame himself. Glad you’re beginning to feel better

He was a rescue dog so we dont know his past either.

Since he was a rescue he very well could have had a traumatic past... so always remember that you and Jordan gave him a very loved and happy last part of his life

Thats what I think too. We gave him a perfect life at the end for a rescue dog. I want to get some recscue hens.

Hi Krystal! I haven't posted in so long Im sorry! Hope the weather lets up for you soon.

Looks like you've got a nice garden started. Hey, have you ever tried pre-sprouting your seeds? I could hardly ever get seeds to grow (or only half of them would) and so I usually had to buy potted veggie starts -expensive for what they produced. Anyway I learned about pre-sprouting on wet paper towels and you can tell in a few days which seeds are viable and which are duds. Then you bury the sprout in soil and you have a plant in no time. This is what my sprouted seeds looked like... I placed a sheet of wax paper over the top to hold in some moisture and used a spray bottle to mist them to keep damp.

I made a chart so I could remember which seeds were what.

Then transferred the sprouts to pots. They needed sunlight but it was still very cold out so I used clear bins with loose lids as mini greenhouses

My space is really limited so I use the square foot garden method in raised beds.

I don't know if it's too late for you to start more seeds, but if you want a staggered crop of something, it might be fun to try pre-sprouting.
Here's an article that totally inspired me and explains how it works.

Are all of your birdies still doing good?

@FlappyFeathers we ended up with 88 chilli seedlings using this method!
