Soil blocking looks really cool. I do tiny biodegradable grow bags. It makes them pretty easy to separate and give away.

You got it! I have a few sweet peppers and can give you a mix. I’m trying a new variety of grape tomato and will start a few extra.

That’s tempting. There are a few plants like hibiscus where the growing season isn’t long enough.

I’ll sell you my 2004 Honda Civic for $5,000. 85,000 miles. Nothing wrong with it.

Tomatillos didn't work well for me the first year, but I failed to clean up and about 300 seeds sprouted. We had a wall of the things and plenty of fruit.
On the other hand, purslane grows in the cracks of the sidewalk. It's tasty, and the chickens like it, too.

I had a good extant Compact Cars on Saw Mill Run. Bought a little Suzuki for a fair price that served me well.

As many tomatoes and peppers as I can fit on the trays to start them. I have to cull my list this year. It's out of hand and there is some serious pruning needed for the shrubs we have.
I would like to get a fruit tree planted, maybe a self pollinating plum. At least get blueberries going.
Right now I'm only starting brassicas, hot peppers, leeks, and for flowers it's delphinium and dianthus and foxglove. But March is coming up fast and that's when the seed starting corner gets rolling for real.

I tend to start too many things and then give them away because I don't have the space or time. So I get this. I have, well, a lot of seed packets. I can't resist them. Starting seeds is so amazing - just watching them come up and grow is magic every time.
I've moved mostly to soil blocking and have had good success with it. Have you tried it yet?

Cannot beat the value and experience, best to go during week, very busy on a Saturday. Purchased quite a few vehicles, very easy.
They will hard sell the extended warranty package

I work in the area, just some sketchy activity but if your mind your business and are used to living in a urban neighborhood you should be fine.

Absolutely - when I last lived in Pittsburgh I lived Downtown in the Roosevelt building and found myself in that terrible Burlington Coat Factory far too often. Would be nicer to have something with a local connection, but a Target right there would have been a huge upgrade.

It used to be but it no longer is and is expensive like everywhere else although not at the crazy level of the West Coast or New York City

I bought a used Toyota from Jim Shorkey Mitsubishi by Ross Park Mall. Their sales experience was really good.

Would love some grape tomatoes and sweet peppers! For trading, I am happy to divide a very large clump of chives and to contribute some pothos/begonia Rex/night blooming cereus cuttings!
