I want to go camping this year, but I absolutely won't sleep in a tent anymore. Between bears and mountain lions, I know I wouldn't sleep a wink.

That sucks about the plants changing sexes. I was pretty disappointed when only one of my son's five plants turned out to be female. It kinda hurts to yank out a perfectly healthy plant.

Reading your posts, I suspect I'm probably just too ignorant about weed to successfully grow much. Last summer I just took over my son's one female plant when he moved out of state. Honestly, I don't want to make too big of an investment, dollar-wise. I bought some heat mats and lights, and some good potting soil. That's probably about as much of an investment as I'm willing to make. Last year we went to a nursery and I bought some tomato and squash plants. I got a few delicious tomatoes, which I ate right off the plant, and I got one squash. ONE!!! I mean, who can't grow squash??? Well, the answer is apparently me. I also had some peppers, which were comically small. I live in Pueblo, Colorado, and we're known for our chile peppers here. We have a big Chile and Frijole Festival every fall! I should have been able to grow a plant or two. Nope. Not me.
