Yes I am. :)

:rolleyes:.... So...what's your point?

I'm going to say that it's either Capsicum baccatum or Capsicum frutescens due to the slight "fuzz" on the leaves and the look of the stem. It doesn't look like the most common species (C. annuum) to me. We'll get a better idea when it flowers. Knowing the species will help to keep this variety...

As long as you leave enough room for nature to grow, it shouldn't matter what you introduce. The problem is that we keep cutting nature back. Beekissed - I like to use both the weeds and cultivated plants as a "sacrificial lamb" when I can. There are some plants that just seem like they can't...

I agree, seedcorn's going about it very well.

You don't need to be a geneticist to breed crops. Humanity has been doing it for thousands of years and has managed very well up until recent times.

I disagree with the "What some refuse to understand is that predators only come in when the food source is plentiful-which means they have done their damage." The seeds that you use, climate, and other things can also play a part in how much damage pests do. I think that it's pretty hard to...

Thanks for correcting me there, I've been in a strange state of mind lately. I might have been thinking about when chemicals started entering the food system as an actual ingredient. That was Norman Borlaug and the Green Revolution that introduced chemicals into the agricultural system (I...

I'm aware of the differences. "Not trying to be difficult but the general public has NO idea how/why agriculture got to where it is today." The way I see it, a lot of it stems from the post-WWII era. They had a large surplus of all kinds of chemicals previously used in the war. What's a good...

:welcome again! I like your setup and the ideology surrounding it. I'm working towards something similar, but it's hard to get all of that set up well with rented land. In 2014 the vegetable garden was only weeded once or twice. Sure some plants got crowded out and died, but what did survive...

Maybe they fling it through earth's atmosphere, where it orbits the earth. Eventually it plummets back through earth's atmosphere, gets super-heated, and then comes back down. Meteorites aren't space rocks.

That, and depending on where you go you can get some influence from native languages. Like Quechua around the Andes in South America. Kind of like how the names of many states and cities here in the U.S. stem from the natives.

Thanks! :)

Walking through a stand of flowering fruit trees, with a cover of mint underneath, in the spring while the trees are flowering would be a nice experience (with the nice smell a pretty scenery). Tobacco and camomile would help keep some of the pests away, camomile has a nice smell. (Although I...

VR, meant to say "breeds of Spanish horses." My Spanish isn't that great, learned most of it with Latin American music and a Spanish dictionary.

Sorry, nearly ruined it with my pessimism, didn't I? If I did have that job I would probably be sliding with the penguins...accidentally. I'm not nimble when it comes to walking on ice.

What could you possibly have searched for for that to show up? .....Razas de caballos espanoles? :D Seriously though, there's got to some way to deal with it. I didn't even know that you could report ads. Hopefully others will be more helpful than I.

Sounds like fun flowerweaver! Winter weather kept me inside for yet another week yesterday, so plenty of time to keep working. (The only place that I do see her is at church, which is an hour away from here. Our neighbor who teaches there drives my sister and I, if he has a meeting or something...

Happy Birthday Pulse! Glad that I made it in time. I'll get those Jacob's Tears seed for you soon.

No thanks! Death by hypothermia was the last way that I wanted to go, death by icicle coming in second. I wouldn't be fit for the job anyway. That and you have to think that low-impact living up here were it's warm is another thing on some resource-barren island off of the coast of Antarctica...
