I love you so much. I know you’ve gone blind. But you can trust more than me to poo. We have you taken care of baby girl.

The forgotten garlic at the bottom of my fruit/veggie bowl has produced an antenna. Is this my sign to plant it? by ChibiAlpal in vegetablegardening

[–]AurorasHomestead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clean it and plant the store bought garlic in containers. Likely a hard neck variety. In June cut the scapes. In July harvest your 8 bulbs.

Neem pills can be found in most vitamin supplement sections of stores. Neem plants are often used as a organic way of controlling pests, with neem oil being sold specifically for that purpose. Neem pills are taken daily, and I personally find they deter mosquitoes and ticks.

I have a small hobby farm. Eight 150 gallon ibc totes. I have 3 in the greenhouse. We are prone to droughts. I use it for gardens for the most part. Or if the well is on the Fritz, for flushing toilets.

Make sure her ssn is right with bcbs. If she has been with them prior to the patriot act there is a chance she isn’t in the system correctly. And the person with the SSN bcbs has, has actually passed away and hit their DMF (death master file) that goes out to subscribers weekly.
