Still have at least a month before I’ll be doing any outside gardening. I’m testing some old seeds to see if they’ll still sprout so I know which seeds I need to order for our vegetable garden (and hopefully prevent myself from ordering way too many seeds because there are so many cool varieties).

What is everyone’s favorite seed company? I usually go with Seed Savers, but I recently found Baker Seeds so I’m thinking of ordering from them this time.

I love prairie smoke, they end up looking like tiny truffula trees (from The Lorax).

I’m going to have to try this, because I absolutely cannot get basil to grow in a pot and it’s one of our bunny’s favorite foods.

The seeds may take more than 1 winter to germinate, even coming from prairie moon (love them!), just FYI. Our first fall in our house I seeded an area with some native flowers. It took 2 springs before some of them came up and others didn’t show until the 3rd spring.

Yes, they did fire me after they found out it was a broken vertebra. I ended up getting an attorney and while I didn’t get my job back they did have to pay me some lost wages. It was probably for the best though, as I couldn’t have continued to do the job anyway.

Lol, naughty kids trying to play hooky is a perfect way to describe it.

It was a work injury so thankfully I didn’t get the bill.

Of course that would be seen as noncompliance, they were choosing to be poor/have crappy insurance. We women need to just stop being so hysterical and pull ourselves up by our boot straps. (So much /s).

They let me walk around for 5 months with a broken vertebra pinching my nerves because they figured it was just tendonitis. They were completely baffled that PT was making things worse. I was finally able to get a referral because my dad came with me to an appointment (I was 28). The new doc ordered an MRI first thing and found the vertebra.

I find that for recipe or how-to stuff, if I have a choice between video or blog post I’ll almost always choose post so I can scroll to the part(s) I’m looking for.

I wonder how much SEO and promoting sponsors/“please like/subscribe” (and monetization of content in general) has increased people using efficiency tools to be able to get to the main content. I know the podcast app I use has a setting where it’ll auto-skip X seconds of the start of podcasts.

I’ve seen people walk laps in the shallower end too

If you weave some pieces of ribbon into the netting, it should help make it more visible to the birds so they know to fly around it
