What did you do in the garden today?

I will never understand why people want to meddle in other peoples business, let alone call the officials on anyone! Makes me so glad I live out in the country with no neighbors in sight. Should be able to do whatever you want on your property.

Yeah. Exactly. I could see saying something if there was a legit risk to life and safety, but this was literally just fixing a dangerous rut off of the main road and smoothing out where the water ran where the guy didn't put in waddles or hydro seed.... Where he was supposed to.

I messaged him earlier this year. Could not get answers about grow out weights. 2 hours away so 5 hour round trip. I need accurate information for a road trip. My concern with this breed is the program was shut down when that professor retired. I am guessing 20 + years ago. No breed standard, questionable if there has been any selection pressure. Clearly Bruno is selling every rabbit as a breeder. So declining of traits IMO.

I had to look it up too. I might do this for starting stuff on our one small plant light lit shelf.

Does anyone have experience with doing tomatoes or peppers this way? I'd LOVE to be able to start more than 8 plants. But my only concern is taking it apart and and separating the seedlings. Would that be too much root disturbance for tomatoes and peppers?

Maybe I'll do a couple snails and the rest in pots as usual.

ugh medical issue today. Lots of blood in my urine. Will consult DR for next step. Could be a medication issue.

tomatoes and peppers don't mind transplanting. I have always put a handful of seeds in a pot. they grow like jungle. easy to separate them and they grow well after transplanting. just don't disturb them when too small and fragile. I transplant them when their stalks become purple. this snail method looks easier and less messy then many seeds in a pot.

Having lived in 3 radically different states, I've observed some states and cities are more regulated while others are more libertarian. The people in each area are generally products of their environments and reflective of the prevailing attitudes there.

No. Hotline said go to ER so I did. 7hours out of my day. Found mass in my bladder and referred to Urologist.
