I’m having some real issues with tomatoes, basil, and most of my cilantro, about 4.5 weeks in. Lot of droopy or dropping leaves.
About 13 hours of light a day. I water into the trays, so it wicks up.
Any thoughts?


Anyone else reminded of Bill Cosby’s Mortimer-Icabob Marker, when Trump is signing EO’s?
YES!!!!! I love red candles, and fiat conversions!!!
He is spot on about both what the past 30+ years have done to middle America.
Also spot on at that last point - most people outside of the coastal/media bubbles support this.
Liam Neeson & Bruce Willis
We need a total of ~$6B per day - could be tariffs and cuts - to eliminate the budget deficit.
Spot on, Jack. I was listening to this while driving through Springfield, IL and surrounding small towns while listening.
Lot of ‘used yo be something’ replaced with, ‘decay, cheap garbage, & more government’
I travel a lot over there, as well, and know what you mean, but this was far, far worse.
Not sure I’d call it free, and certainly not a level playing field
I drove around Springfield, Illinois, and the surrounding small towns today, for work.
These are the places we should all hope tariffs - or more importantly the resulting negotiations from them - help bring back to life.
I saw lots of long shuttered industry, urban neighborhoods all but abandoned, small towns literally rotting and falling down.
The core has some bauble shops and nice restaurants, catering to the top 20-25%, but for the rest it is a liquor store, a gambling parlor, a Dollar General, and a Caseys.
I had about two gallon zip bags of shells (why I always buy shell on). I roasted them on sheet pans in the oven, for maybe 15 minutes.
Into a pot with cold water, an inch above them.
Bring just to not quite a boil, add some onion, carrots, & celery (also formerly in the freezer from cuttings), and simmer maybe 45 minutes more.
Lot of recipes call for white wine, but I never have any.
I’ve done it with crab shells added before, but rarely have those, and didn’t notice much difference.
Sadly, that person is far more upset about 2 bad days in the market, even though they haven’t sold……because they don’t know how to log into the 401k.
Believe me, I’ve heard from some at work.
Stocks were fine. Pressure canner issue slowed me down a little. All ended well.
Shhhhh……..lettuce hands are giving us cheap sats…….bitcoin goes where it is well treated
I did chickrn stock and shrimp stock this weekend…..because Daddy-Daughter Dance & needing to drive half way across the state wouldn’t be an issue, right??
No matter what, nothing stops this train, and it’s going up forever, Laura
