    Gardening self-care: Vegetables you can plant right now (indoors and out) during the coronavirus

    What about true indoor growing? Well, there's not a lot you can do reasonably. You can grow things like herbs. But while they'll add a nice garnish to your meals, they're not supplying much real sustenance. The article gives some good tips on growing sprouts. That's likely the most viable...

    Gardening self-care: Vegetables you can plant right now (indoors and out) during the coronavirus

    Hello and welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of good suggestions for tiny apartments. The article sums it up pretty well, have a look. Basically, if you can talk management into letting you put some containers on the patio, you can grow things like tomatoes. No doubt you...

    Forgot your password? It's simple to reset it!

    Yep, they're specific to the url and http and https are not the same from a computer's point of view. That's probably a good thing, since it alerts you of a change.

    Moisture meters

    Pedro, I was hoping somebody else might answer. I'm a bit confused, since you mentioned outdoors, but you also mentioned a vase. Are these container plants you have outdoors?

    Ron, there’s really not much reason to have it here. We will NEVER ask for a credit card or your home address etc. Hackers can’t steal what isn’t there. However, google has started penalizing websites that don’t have it. The new server provided an affordable way to implement it, so it was time...

    Raccoons troubling a lot!

    Raccoons are funny critters. I now have a motion sensor camera and light on my house. Most nights of the week, the raccoons wander across my driveway. What's really funny is that one of them often comes up on the porch to look for food. I don't have a dog, there is NEVER any food on my porch...

    The site has now been upgraded to SSL. That means it is more secure. Even though we really don't collect any personal info, so there's not much of anything for anyone to hack, we felt it was time to make the change anyway. You should now see a padlock next to the URL in your browser. If you...

    So far, so good. Looks like the site is now SSL, and thus more secure. You should be seeing a little padlock in your browser now, rather than the previous "not secure" message.

    It's not real easy to see, but that like is a "sad" emoticon. It's not as clear as the FB ones, but in any case, it's a "sorry to hear that".

    BTW, the indoor temps of 78 are misleading. There’s a tiny computer that receives the wireless signal from the weather station and uploads it to the net (weather underground) once every 5 minutes to make pretty little charts and graphs. It sits next to my cable modem and directly behind my TV...

    What's the weather in your area? 2023 Edition

    It's one of the Davis weather stations. I've been looking at them for years, and my old one died a few months ago. I'd already rebuilt it once, the batteries in the wind gauge aren't replaceable in theory. Why they chose to save like a buck on putting in a battery tray I have no clue. Maybe so...
