Keep cherry picking all the info you want. The figures I posted include deaths that are probable covid deaths as well, because we couldn’t test everyone who had all the symptoms and died. Your source only considers filed death certificates, and admits it is lagging 1-8 weeks behind (during an...

and as of today the CDC says there have been 24,500 deaths. By all means don’t argue with me. you’re wrong and spreading dangerous misinformation. And don’t tell me we can’t trust those numbers, if you trusted the CDC on April 4th you should still trust it on April 14th...

literally the numbers you provided show that this is worse than H1N1. Feel free to lick all the doorknobs you want and hug/kiss everyone you love and put them and yourself at risk, but I’ll be social distancing thanks. A “power play” that nearly every government around the world has coordinated...

Gosh I hope not. If it has ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) it could explode or set fire in their oven.

kind of silly to compare to H1N1. This is more easily spread and more lethal. Ok, there were 12,500 deaths from H1N1 with no quarantine, stay at home, or social distancing. There have been over 10,500 covid-19 deaths in NY state alone. With quarantine measures and social distancing in place...

Sounds doable then. I have a lot of space, I can certainly accommodate that distancing. I’m already growing Midori Giant Edamame.

I’d like to help! I could do 2-3 varieties this year. What is the spacing requirement to avoid cross-pollination? I’ll let you pick which to send. I prefer edamame type, and earlier types are likely better for my shorter season. Message me for my address if you have something you think can grow...

Everyone should move to Indiana then. Because everyone I know working part time is making $10-$12/hour, working when they get scheduled with no flexibility, and being treated poorly by the public.

@majorcatfish do you think all the starts are sad from the cold snap or is watering not happening at retailers right now?

I used to cashier at Home Depot. I once had a customer sneeze on my face from about 2' away. It was traumatizing and disgusting in normal times. Right now I say if there is a chance it keeps you safe, why not do it? I would assume a direct cough would transfer more virus than passing things to...

You might be over-estimating the value of a part time job. Usually they're low pay, inflexible hours, have no benefits and require the same amount of gas and commuting time as full-time work. Plus if you work in public-facing positions there's the risk you'll snap and kill a customer one day...

Hmmm...a lot of ideas on here. Maybe I should provide more photos and some measurements and we should start a betting pool before it blooms! :lol:

I’ve heard this! I bought some white ones last year but they died. I will be buying more in the future. I am also planting green and yellow tomatoes in addition to red varieties, as I heard they are less tempting to our little yard critters. I also have blueberries, blackberries, cherries, etc...

I will snap a few photos in the coming weeks. They are just getting started (its still really early spring for us).

Might be garlic then. It was spicy but delicious. Hollow leaves.

I do know where food comes from. I would still be hard-pressed to slaughter and butcher. I've gone through bouts of vegetarianism and veganism because I'm not sure I should eat meat if I'm unwilling to do the dirty work. I've considered chickens for eggs and manure. If I went through with it...

I would agree with this. Its especially true if someone doesn't start or save seed. Its also a matter of how long you do it. Upfront costs can be high but pay off over time, many expenses are one-time. There's also the variability of the gardener - do they drop tons of money on new materials...

Thank you. Looking them up I was able to rule out A. moly, those leave do look more like tulip leaves, flat and wide. I did dig around the tops of the old stalks to check for bulbils in the area and didn't find any. I was excited/annoyed to find these today, as yesterday I purchased walking...

Same feeling here. I just stopped paying into retirement and my health savings account. We decided we'd prefer the cash on-hand, should I get laid off. We agreed to 6 months to help bolster savings and then re-evaluate and see if my job is secure and how the economy is going. I told my husband...

I've been working outside a few hours a day on whatever catches my fancy. There is so much to do out there. I do my yardwork like my housework, all tasks at once! Mow a patch, get distracted by a tree, oh I should clean out that flower bed, maybe a trellis can go over there, oh hey look, a...
