    Either way, I'm 68 now so, even though I have to pay for it, it would never pay me anything if I'm permanently disabled.

    Anyway, if you decide to get together and I'm in town where I can make it, I'll be there.
    I guess you're in a union because typically you should be able to opt out of such things!

    I guess at this point we're waiting on David to tell us when he's ready to "show" the place! Then we can try to pick a date!

    Nope, no union...just company policy for independent contractors.

    These are some pimento peppers...'apples'. I started them in 4 inch pots....some got a little azomite and some didn't...can you tell which ones did ?

    A few weeks ago...I rinsed off as much dirt as I could before putting them into the media beds. They didn't seem to miss a beat. They were growing more within 2 days....I love, that there is almost no transplant shock in an aquaponic system..
