Specifically for the seeds rather than the greens. Anyone in the northern part of the country tried it? It looks like its a late summer crop, cause the plants actually need the cold to produce large quantities of seeds…..anyone have any ideas, tips, variety suggestions? I don’t know that I’m going to try it this year, but its come up in discussion between hubby and I several times now so I decided its time to start researching….

Singing
Yesterday I saw this post over at Lagniappe’s Lair.
Apollo, in typical fashion ignored it. It takes something special to get Apollo’s attention, like the frog who’s a living toy squeeker.
But Arty, well, Arty had to sing along:
The list of companies refusing to do business with NY government
I am currently going through that list and “liking” as many of them as I can find on Facebook.
I am also putting together a letter, an actual snail mail letter, to send to each one, thanking them for standing up for our 2nd amendment rights. And I am doing so specifically stating I am a resident of NY state.
I highly encourage the rest of you to do the same. “Liking” a company on Facebook doesn’t mean you have to get all their updates, you can make sure they don’t get listed on your “wall” if you don’t want the extras. Its a little thing to let them know that you appreciate it.
Onondaga county to vote on a resolution to repeal SAFE act
I didn’t really expect Onondaga to do it to, but they’re going to be voting on it, and it sounds like the sheriffs office at least is for the idea.
More and more NY counties passing resolutions agains the SAFE act
List here.
Found via SayUncle to Shall Not Be Questioned, I’d missed the additions to the list.
I’m delighted to see my own county on the list. I don’t know what difference it’ll make, but still…..
Electrical/light bulb question
I’m in the process of setting up my seed starting area, and trying to figure out lighting. I have a batch of small light fixtures that I used to use for my fish tanks, that all say to use type A bulbs. Which is the “normal” type bulb. Which is all well and cool….but looking at bulbs that come in the right type of light needed to grow plants and what not, can I put a PAR bulb into these as long as the bulb itself otherwise fits and I don’t go over the recommended wattage? It looks to ME like they’re the same kind of base, but I hate to assume when it comes to electrical stuff…..
Who or what
is Gunspec.com? They’ve linked to me as one of “Five Northeast Gun Sites Holding the Line”, and while I suppose any additional traffic is cool, I could point them to some far better (IMO) blogs for that purpose. An internet search doesn’t net much about them, other than that TTAG likes them, which I’m not sure is a good thing…..
The entitled youth of today
Found via Lagniappe’s Lair:
Megan Thode as decided she’s a special snowflake. After proving incapable of maintaining a professional demeanor in class, thus earning herself a C+ in a class where a B was required to move on, she is now suing school for allowing her to not move forward in her chosen program. After all daddy works there, so she wasn’t even having to pay for her education, so why SHOULD she have to meet the requirements?
Yah, I didn’t think so either. I hope the judge forces her to pay the school’s court costs.
One by one….
Linked to from a bunch of other blogs:
The New York Boycott list. This is a list of firearms companies who will not sell products to the police and other such agencies of NY if those products are not legal for civilians in NY to own.
As a citizen of NY state I’ll be sending those companies a thank you for refusing to acknowledge that the government is special!
