    Help With Growing Seeds

    I've got a few seeds just outside in pots, been there all winter, hopefully they will show around April or May, if not they will stay for at least one more winter before I give up on them.

    As "national security" is mentioned, how long before the US decides that missiles containing Glyphosate will be used against those "naughty" countries which don't fall in with their ideas ?? Kennedy also seems somewhat confused ( polite interpretation ) re what constitutes healthy living.

    How do you tell a tic from a small spider?

    I presume it was a slimey one. :biggrin:If the dog or cat is up to date with the spot on treatment the ticks should just fall off. I don't think all spot ons kill ticks though.
