we're quite remote and I don't think anyone delivers groceries here...I checked instacart at least and they do not

« Last post by kermi3 on April 04, 2020, 12:30:53 PM »Hey Folks - Popping in. I’m glad Jake bugged me to do so. How’s everyone?
I’m gonna be an asshole, and not read all the backlog. Is everyone safe and at home?
I’m huddled at home. Not really going anywhere except here and my girlfriend’s house. Neither is she. We sent the kids home a week early for spring break, and we’re now closed on campus for the year. We “go back” on Monday - digitally. I spent my break wallowing, prepping, and redoing my home office to prepare. Working from home is tough. Way tougher I know for the girlfriend and her 6 year old - and the rest of you with kids in the house.
How is everyone? I haven’t had the emotional fortitude to engage a lot - thus why I didn’t come by sooner, but I’ve been thinking of you all.

They had a Zoom meeting the other day and I assume those will pick up. They actually have spring break next week but both of my kids have stuff they need to finish up that's due by the time remote learning resumes the following week.

And while the president has the electoral college that does the actual voting it isn't the same with congress.
What thing that made me glad to see is that people are wising up to just how crappy of a job the president is doing with this response.

The roots on my tomato plans are almost reaching the water reserve. There isn't a ton of head room so it isn't a complete surprise.

« Last post by Jake on April 03, 2020, 09:34:00 PM »so the plants in the first pipe are not doing too well. Only three are thriving, the rest are dying. I'm not sure why. The roots are covered in some slimy thing - not sure if that's suppose to be there. Even with those results, I did the two other pipes yesterday because my seedlings started getting really big and I needed to separate them. I added a different fertilizer to the water in these two.
I also took the rest of the seedling and put them in bigger pots.
Half of my tomatoes died - don't know why. Will try again.
Peppers are just starting to germinate.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
