In the past, I have planted my fruits and veggie plants using pre-starters from a local nursery. This year my daughter wanted to try to grow plants from seed packets we bought at the local hardware store. We have planted watermelon, cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots this year. They have been doing okay but still waiting on something big enough to eat.

One interesting thing that happened was we have a bird feeder that has various types of seeds in it. One of those seeds is sunflower seeds. That bird feeder is located just above a goldfish pond. Earlier this year a few of those seeds was knocked into the pond and started growing. They grew to about 3 to 4 inches each before we notice them. We stuck them into our garden for the fun of it just to see how well they grow. Which so far has been pretty well.

That got me thinking, if we grow from seeds again next year, that I could put those seeds into containers inside that pond (or dip that water into a bowl with the seeds) and just plant whatever sprouts.

I am sure others have tried a similar method. My question is, would this method work better, worse, or about the same as planting the seeds into dirt first and waiting for it to grow? Is there a better method that I could try?

My marriage has been on a downward spiral for several years to the point where it almost feels like a game of chicken as to who will call it quits first. Anniversaries always feel more like an obligation than a celebration. How does one find the drive to keep celebrating when what seems to be a never ending rough patch?

I am looking for a champion based game. I would like the game to have controllable stat allocation. As in, if I want to build a tank, mage, berserker, ECT character then I can control how they stats are as that character levels. I would also like to see the game have some sort of turn-based battles.

The only game I've ever found that was similar was an obscure game called Battle edge and it was on the Facebook platform a number of years ago.

I have an outdoor 125 gal pond with a few goldfish in it. I had put in a few algae eater in the past but they have not faired so well. The reason for them was to keep the algae down. I had considered snails but I have heard people starting off with a few and then getting over run with them. How do I prevent this from happening? And those with snails, would they stay contained in the pond or would they adventure off? I am hoping to keep them contained.

I have some wooden furniture that is antique. Not expensive but hand-me-down from my great grandparents. Some of the wooden peg joints (which originally glued together) have started to come apart. I have tried various types of wood glues with the latest being gorilla glue. But after a few weeks they start to separate at the joints previously glued. Advice?
