Hi all, alright so here is what I did:
1. Started a germination test.I put three damp paper towels on a plate, then some seeds (didn't count, just want to see if they do something) wet them, and the put four damp paper towels on top of them and have them kind of close to the wood stove so they get some warmth.
2. Went outside to fill the wood and came back in to find 3 razzed up cats and my seeds all over he!!s creation.... Cleaned up the mess, and repeated the above process. NOTE, plate is now "cat proof" Been keeping them moist with a mister gun all day.
No, that is not a boy gun for all of you that just snickered. :)

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
