Does anyone know if Disability checks will be affected if the government shuts down?
I called the SS office and they told me to follow the news. I googled it and one article
said it likely won't affect SS.

Not a hand... more likely a finger...

okay won't say it but nice saw always use a second piece to push the one your cutting through

It comes with a plastic thingy for that even.

Anyone ever check out Baker Creek seeds? Cool rare stuff there. I just did a wish order and was afraid of the total. Just various corn, dent, flint and flour, some beans and a couple winter squash, and tomatoes. Was $50 but still less than I thought.
They have a cool ancient indian watermelon with a long neck handle. Think I'll order blacktail mountain watermelon, was developed by Sandhill preservation center and the earliest watermelon he has.
Baker Creek also has a ginourmous radish, Sakurajima Radish, grows 15-100lbs, thinking of giving it a try.
I can't wait till spring...

Have you seen my garden thread, Gardening for old folks?

I know seeds can cost quite a bit. I spent over 45.00 yesterday alone.
I still a lot of seeds from last year but still need a few. But I will wait till next week probably to get the last of them.
Has anyone had luck growing rosemary from seed? Is there any tricks to it?

I bought some sorrel seeds and I have never grown or used it. I am curious if I will like it or not. lol lazy gardener mentioned it on one of the garden threads so I looked it up.
I like the health benefits you get from using it.
I won't be growing any melon's this year. I still have to use my water garden this year till we get the greenhouse built. And my melon's did not do well in it last year.

I've tried rosemary, not much luck they grow a little bit, so no tips here lol.

Have you seen my garden thread, Gardening for old folks?

Yes, but I'm not that 'old' lol. I did stop in for one joke post , think it was the most liked post I've ever had on byc. Must have a lot of people on that thread, and they must read through the whole thread cause I've had people like the post recently.
I'll probably stop in again. I just haven't been on any gardening threads, not much going on here besides ice and snow. I typically can't plant till Memorial weekend, except for cold weather stuff like peas, spinach and kale.

Baker Creek seeds rock! I ordered up some squash seeds from them many years ago and planted the last of the packet that were easily 5 years old....and they sprouted! Had a really plentiful harvest of Ronde de Nice zukes.

Hubby was following bear tracks around the place. They are kind of melted but you can see the size of them.
