I’ve been winter sowing for a couple years now and thought I would try a variety of containers and see if there was a difference for me personally

I used classic milk jugs, clear water jugs, small nursery pots just open on the top with no covering or plastic tarp, and large pots same thing. I didn’t use anything to create an additional greenhouse effect and just left the area exposed to nature all winter. We had a very cold winter with deep snow for months

It doesn’t appear that there was much difference between containers. The covered milk jugs / water jugs definitely germinated first, but the open containers caught up after a couple weeks of warm weather and it’s hard to tell a difference now

Each column vertically is the same thing in this photo. This is about 1/3 of my pots this year I may have a plant problem….. I’m working on it lol

Everything germinated great except my Solomon’s seal and bottle gentian. However I’ve got some microscopic little sprouts now so maybe they are just late to the party?

Have a great weekend!

Never thought I’d be in this position but I am looking up divorce lawyers. I don’t see any hope of reconciliation with my wife and frankly I am so exhausted and unhappy with our relationship that I want it to be over. I also really want more kids but she does not. We haven’t talked about divorce but I am feeling more certain every day. What do you wish you had known? What should I do to protect myself and my future?

We have an amazing 7 year old son, a vacation cabin, two pets, chickens, and we are massive collectors of books, rocks and minerals, antiques, etc. not to mention a huge workshop for woodworking and blacksmithing. We have built up our home and property so much over 9.5 years married, and it is overwhelming to think about how we will separate everything

Is there any reason to wait until after our 10 year anniversary? Or is that an old wives tale

I do NOT think she will be friendly / amicable throughout the process. There will be no figuring things out together, as much as I would prefer to save the money spent on legal help. I anticipate that as soon as I tell her I want a divorce she will tell me to get out and stay in a hotel and then I lose access to my son, my home, my things, etc

Fuck where do I start.
