It’s a Heinz57 of oddball seeds so I’ll take your word for it. The Dog has yet to complain.

Pete, do you “Flip” your plants to get them to Bud? You know what I’m saying? Smack some 2x2’s or 2x4’s into the ground, tarp your plants (or garbage bags, whatever, but get them into complete darkness) & staple-gun it into place, & leave them in complete darkness for about 48hrs….then peal off...

Nicely done. Again, ours are half the size of other years, but I usually have to “Flip” them at the end of August to get them to start to go into bud…& then they finish in the living room under lights in the picture window. This year the energy is being used differently by these plants. The...

That does make a tough. That’s part of the reason why a couple pages back I tried to sort out definitions, because for all, I know we’re on the same side of a debate without realizing it, without having definitions of the terms. Maybe that was the other similar thread… I don’t recall at this...

I try to debate to find different perspectives, & sometimes it’s harder to wrap my head around things than others, but it’s good mental exercise. It’s something I do when time permits, and I learn many sides of a story this way, or at least try to, and different people pull information from...

Well, if you could save thousands of dollars a year on your home heating costs, for the next several years up to 2035 or some other arbitrary date….That’s substantial.

Describe ‘winter’ on the coast as opposed to our northern mid-continental 5 month long winter wonderland please.

We’ve got kids in central B.C. where their heat is only from electric baseboards, and though their winters are comparatively mild compared to the prairies, it’s prohibitively expensive. This is on the outskirts of Vernon in the Okanagan Valley. MonthHigh / Low(°C) January2° / -4° February5° /...

Honest question here. The paediatric cardiologist in the video & his spouse, where they informed by that school that their kids were being teased (?) or where the kids encouraged to keep it secret by school policy in fear of the reaction of the parents to the children’s safety? Were the kids...

By to “burn oil” regarding affordable heat, you’re referring to heating oil used primarily in Ontario and Quebec and Atlantic Canada and New England and New York State and Pennsylvania (?) or something else? Are you using the term to also include diesel fuel used for heat in Nunavut and other...

Solar & Wind to supplement…yes, but as base-load…no, which is hardly Luddite territory. In a -45°C prairie winter night with no wind, in the near future when the push is for no natural gas heating from our furnaces….the thought of only wind & solar electrical power generation isn’t comforting…&...

Just what needed to be done. Times are tight for everybody, and Lord only knows what it would’ve cost if the city came out and did it, & then tacked it onto their property taxes. They are good people just trying to get by. Tough enough that they’re still struggling to try and learn English. I’ve...

The neighbours across the street bought the house that came complete with the brush pile…..which came from their next door neighbour from before they bought the house 2yrs ago. It would have been cheaper (& less work) for the neighbours landlord to just throw it over the fence or haul it next...

I’m still blown away that there’s a “Royal Family Channel.” Do you have to subscribe to it and if so how much?

Geez….the timing in the foot race of harvest to get a ‘day off’ on Labour Day. How close to done are you? Time wise I mean for the last 1/4 after heavy rain. I’ve still got another one of these to get rid of this morning (been procrastinating) and another one to load….& then I’ll be down to one...

That’s apparent, but used as a measuring stick, but I will gladly use a different measuring stick. Which one is acceptable? Canada’s geographical location and size and climate have a huge relevance to its ability to functionally thrive vs it’s pollution and emissions portion of the global whole...

Who else would it inevitably get passed onto? The government? As you have pointed out, isn’t that the point? To make getting to work to earn a living and pay our taxes or heating our homes in the winter so prohibitively expensive that we need to change our evil ways??

Yeah. Thirds. Interesting is the timestamps on the above screenshots from the BodyCam: Above at 18:28:03 Above at 18:28:11 Above at 18:28:26 Shot already fired through the windshield at 18:28:29. I wonder who felt threatened in this situation? In the 20 seconds between 18:28:11 and 18:28:29...

A friend of ours from Mexico (who passed away a few years ago) had an interesting take on what you’re saying above. He was not a big fan of law-enforcement, & he was not a criminal. In having a discussion about the above with him, as he was teaching us some of the do’s and don’ts with respect...
