    I really don't know. I germinated a few seeds no problem. Too late now. I won't get much of a crop if I start again now. :(

    Another day, another failed capacitor. I came home from golf and jumped right in the shower. When I came out I could smell something burning. Found the air handler motor in the attic way overheated. Diagnosed another bad capacitor. Spun the motor up by hand to get the house cool, I'll kill it before bed. I'll get a new one in the morning I hope.

    As I was typing this, it dawned on me what happened. I had lightning strike in a tree maybe fifty feet from the house last fall. I'm hoping that was the issue.

    I broke down and looked at the news. If these silly folks had a log splitter, they would stick their own head in it. Kinda like setting yourself on fire to protest something silly. No one will care, or feel sorrow for you. I should ask them to plant my garden. Talk about reaping and sowing. No more news, I am indeed sorry I looked. I'm glad my kids are smart enough to see this city junk. stay there people. please

    I have the news on my computer now too, watching in disbelief. Not sure how old your kids are but they sound older than ours, ours is into watching a show called "the happy family show". It's on now, she does not need to see more of this crap than was on the national and local news I watched tonight. This show is HILARIOUS, totally PG all the way but has elements of Married With Children and the Simpsons and duck Van Dyke show & others. Silly fun show that even gives me chuckles!

    My kids are young. I had them later than most. 11 and 13. We actually don't have TV. I do make them watch, and read news stories online. At dinner they have to report on the news, and then we vet what they want. Only way to stop the brain washing from government school is to teach them the truth. Very frustrating at first, but now they are pretty good at checking sources. In fact, my daughter was able to fill me in on the Girls Scouts, and why she refused to be one. Even saved me from spending money on the tiny, expensive boxes of cookies. She makes them instead. I'm so proud of them. They actually remind me of older generations that are gone now. still kids, but at least they can think for themselves.:yes: I do buy movies like Ol Yeller on the internet for them. Way cheaper than a satellite, and I can filter the garbage a little better.

    I know it! after they first watched it, I had my son who was old enough read Where the red fern grows. I was getting them ready for my old healer to die. He was about 17 then.

    I had some old seed packets that I planted this year, just to see if they'd be viable. Some were, some were not. The ones that sprouted, I'm planting in the garden. Our grow season is a lot longer than yours, but unless it's a super fast growing plant, I'm buying only started plants for what else I need/ want.

    We watched my youngest daughters 8th grade virtual graduation ceremony last night on you tube. Now I have 2 high School daughters. Later I'll be putting my oldest in the drivers seat of my truck. Hoping for a bonfire this evening. Everyone have good day.

    That is probably about the age I started working with the wood and stoves. I hope she continues to enjoy it. And, of course, we wish he a happy birthday.

    Seeds don't care how old they are. If they were good seed, they will grow.
