Wild boar does not live in your area?

I have too many critters that eat up my garden

Yes, but the majority of the protein will come from all the worms/parasites the boar has rather than the boar itself. People forget that 'wild' and 'natural' meat is riddled with all kinds of stuff

Cook it good.

I see cucumbers, several tomato sprouts in various levels of development (one nearly a seedling), and some kind of brassica (probably broccoli or cauliflower.) The tomatoes should have been started well before the cucumbers, and the cucumbers are getting far too leggy. The cukes need to be planted already, if you harden them off, or they need to be moved closer to the light source (or a stronger light source.) Several cucumbers look shriveled and undeveloped, possibly due to damping off (an affliction of seedlings.)

Tomatoes 3-7 days to sprout, 5-7 weeks max as seedlings.
Cucumbers 3-5 days to sprout, 3-4 weeks as seedlings.

Cucumbers & melons should be direct seeded, when the soil temp is above 55F, as they make for a much more robust & productive plant. Watermelon may have to be started as seedlings in harsh climates, but their most important feature, the long taproot they send down to water is often damaged and shortened by the transplanting process.

Yes, all correct. Those tomatoes were from fermented seeds from last year we tossed in a tray to see what would happen. It was a 19 day germination instead of the normal 3-7. The rest of my seedlings took off, but the seeds we fermented last fall were very late & I had given up. We had an extremely late frost so that held up my planting. The cucumbers & watermelons were a project from the 7 year old. Last year we had pollination issues with both, but added a hive of bees this year.

We eat the broccoli sprouts instead of planting so I have them under grow lights year round for salads.

Our watermelons in the garden have been destroyed by an armadillo I finally caught Thursday morning.

How many men these days know how to kill them? I'm guessing 2% maybe.

We need much bigger raises as our raises have been nowhere near profits on a percentage basis, another week of vacation to support the company in their quest to provide us with a work-life balance, nomo24fo, as long as both sides are reasonable, things will be cool. Carol seems like she respects us, Least a little more than da did.

 

[Scuba_Steve]

Give them whatever they want. I am to old this time to work double shifts every day, and load trailers and aircraft in the sun.

 

[BrownFlush]

I do not understand why he does not want to negotiate earlier

Old school tactic.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Old school tactic.

Correct in recent contracts there’s been a lot of fluff BS time which led to the company thinking if they needed to do some real negotiating they had plenty of time. I don’t think O’Brien wants to play pattycake with management people he wants to get in there let them know he means business and they better negotiate and put good offers on the table 1st

It could be done in a week...Master, Supplements and Riders..

No excuses this time, we all know what is happening in our economy, by next year 20 bucks an hour will be the new minimum wage in some states.

I'm retired, but what I can read about him, this seems right.

Dag on it.
I just lost the good feeling of my pension amount. It's going to be hard going through the drive thru and looking at that pimply, skinny, 16 year old knowing he's making what I am.

Don’t worry you probably won’t see that same pimply faced skinny sixteen year old more than one time. Not much work ethic in the majority of these youngsters.
