Scarlet; yeah, I know I can change the posts per page, but the long threads are still long threads! I am not sure if there is still an issue with super sized threads, but they used to really slow down MDC and contribute to the crashes. Thank you for the suggestion though, it is something I never got around to doing

Cultivating; Marigold seedlings smell like marigolds

. I just pinch a little tiny leaf and sniff it. (eh, my neighbors already think I am weird). That's the only way I can tell them from the stupid ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) when they are small.
I am also jealous of people who's gardens are already bearing. My peas
just sprouted! I am thinking of getting some brussels sprouts from the greenhouse. Did I mention I got a job at a garden center? I am limiting myself to $10 a week out of my pay for plants. Thanks to you all, I have a list of fruit trees waiting to be bought! By next week I will have enough to buy one fruit tree... but what to buy first!? The neighbors have apples and pears, so I would not need to buy two right away, but I would love peaches. And the blueberries are only $5... and they have a bunch of reliance grapes.... oh my gosh! Someone stop me!
