THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Just a heads up for those who are interested in gardening. I was watching a video yesterday by a back to the lander type and he suggested that people might want to try and buy their seeds early this year.

He mentioned that Baker Creek seed co had shut down their website because they were swamped with orders until they could catch up.

I put in a small order with a local supplier and going through the inventory list about half the list was already marked sold out. I guess the stresses on the food supply from last year is encouraging people to produce more of their own food.

We have our 2021 catalog from these folks.
Quality seeds for our needs.
Germination is right up there also. Do you save your own seed?

I rarely post anymore because you can't get through a whole post without it locking up and having to start all over...so frustrating !!
 

Jim,

We saved some bush bean varieties last year also first time trying to save some tomato seeds. They take a bit of time because they need to ferment so you can rinse off the slimy covering.

Just from doing squash on the weekend I must of thrown a small fortune away in seed into the chicken compost. Then again with squash cross pollination can happen, as I had one Acorn squash plant - and we haven't bought any Acorn squash for 10yrs or more.
The compost pile was my go to for germination this past spring-but I have the chicken compition this year around. :laughing7:

I don't have that problem. I wonder if it has something to do with the ads that are running? You know, the ones that go away if you are a Charter Member? Now watch, I will start having issues. Cursed myself.:BangHead:
 

Gmorn. WD I listen to about all of the options I get on utube to sleep. Deep from the heart of space was a show on public radio I have used.
Bart that posting thing happens to me. It’s kinda my whole smart machine carrier.
Bill I think your spirit and interest in good food and gardening and living are informative and just great. Everyone’s personalization of real life is what I am looking for to satisfy my interest and curiosity. The reality shows I have tried to watch on modern tv is far from entertainment. I don’t understand how people could think they all are anything but idiots. Your post are positive informative and fun. Solid and real. Please don’t stop now.
 

Morning...I finally thawed out :tongue3:
 

Morning Fat, RTR

Your mention of reality TV reminded me of a funny exchange that happened last week. First, I have a confession. Boy ECS is going to give me a hard time for this one. :laughing9:
We watch Oak Island regularly. We record it to watch at our convenience and sometimes get the episodes confused, but that doesn't really matter because they re-hash everything. Anyways, the episode we were watching, Gary Drayton was detecting. I happen to have the same lesche digging tool that he has. Easy to do, I mean there are only so many sites to buy from and so many metal detecting tools to pick from. Well, the MR spots it right off the bat and says, "You have the same shovel as Gary Drayton! That's it! You are trying to get every metal detecting thing he has! You wanna be just like Gary!" LOL I tried to explain it, but he wasn't having it. I will get my paybacks when it's fishing season.
 

Morning Bill... WD... Fat... RTR.
 

Morning Fat, RC and RTR
 

Good morning all!
I ran out of fingers on the morning head count.
