I'm a florist, but I sell other stuff too in my shop like creams, light makeup, scented oils, plants, and other stuff. I only deliver bouquets. I don't charge a delivery fee if the person allows me to deliver it on my schedule. I deliver all bouquets at the end of the day. That way I only...

I have no idea. I'm just stopping by to show some solidarity. I've been in situations where appliances were acting up or something was wrong with the house and it's an uneasy feeling. I hope you figure it out soon and that the fix is affordable!

In some municipalities the utility company actually pays people to use their excess solar power. That's definitely worth checking on. You might wait on that to see if Biden/the Democrats pass any legislation that makes it more worthwhile. I don't care about politics, but I'm all about saving...

Is that really a drastic drop? It doesn't seem that way to me over a five-year spread if you're actively using those fields. Do your plants show signs of phosphorus deficiency? I guess it's possible that one of your tests was incorrect, but that doesn't seem like a drastic change to me. Some...

I bet something is bothering it. Usually dementia shows up more at night in animals for some reason. Of course, I'm no expert. I'm just going by what my vet has said. Can you put a camera out there?

Why aren't we all raising honey bees and harvesting their honey to go along with our farming practices? We all need pollinators to be successful. I'm a florist who grows my own flowers. You would think that since flowers and honey bees go together that most flower farmers would also keep...

That was my first thought too. Oyster mushrooms are affordable to start and they have a quick turnaround time. I'm surprised more people don't cultivate mushrooms.

I wish I could return them, Susanna, but I waited too late to try them on and missed the return window. I just forgot all about them until we started talking about hiking at the state park nearby. You had a good suggestion with the hem tape. I'll try it.

Is there a way to create a temporary hem on a garment? I bought some convertible hiking pants that are slightly too long, but if I get them hemmed, they won't be convertible pants anymore. All I can find is Stitch Witch, but I believe it's permanent.

Fear. Well, for me at least. Prior to the pandemic, I took risks by growing exotic vegetables and flowers that I had no experience with so they might not thrive or they might be too weird for my customers. I thought those plants would add to my market reach and I thought I could make them...

One of the big ones is to stop tilling the land since it releases carbon from the soil, but I don't think large-scale farmers will ever make the switch to the no-till method. And maybe they're not being unreasonable. It's hard to balance the need for affordable food against protecting the...

The first one is supposed to be super powerful that can handle any terrain. I wonder who runs something that expensive though? Because you can build anything you like, but that doesn't mean anyone is buying it.

Do you require your employees to get their vaccinations? If so, which ones do you expect them to get? My understanding is that it's legal to require them, but that you have to offer exemptions for certain things too. I wonder if many employees opt for the exemption. It wouldn't be hard to...

I have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarfs and they're a lot of fun. They have an excellent temperament and I find them easy to milk. I think their milk tastes better than cow's milk too.

I think large operations, like factory farms, aren't doing their part to protect the environment at all. I only have faith in the homesteaders and farmers who run a small to medium-sized operation. As for me, I don't use pesticides or herbicides. I actually run an organic operation. I also...

During the last growing season, I definitely played it safe by growing what I knew would flourish and sell. I was mainly concerned about the coronavirus pandemic and just keeping the business afloat at that time. I know we're not out of the woods yet with the virus, so I'm not sure whether to...

I'm a bit confused after watching some YouTube videos about potato harvesting on large farms. The machinery at work on a large-scale potato farm is amazing, but it looked like the potatoes were growing right on top of the soil. There was no digging that I could see. Do commercial growers just...

I take them to stave off leg cramps sometimes. My understanding is that no form of potassium supplement is any better than the other, but potassium citrate might be easier on the stomach. I usually just buy whatever is on sale at the time.

Have the powers that be determined where farmworkers are classed on the priority chain for the COVID-19 vaccine? It seems like the classification would be 1b for non-health care frontline workers. Is that your understanding too?

If you have them near your entrance, it might help to relocate them so they aren't getting blasted with frigid air every time a customer walks in. In your shoes, I'd mark them down so I could move them quickly. It takes orchids a while to bloom again, and you'll likely either need to put them...
