Oh I forgot the punch line, she promptly sold an entire box of albums full of bills and coins for $50, had to be well over $2k just in face value if she would have taken them to the bank to exchange.
I worked for a seed producer for about a year. Grass seeds mostly. All the grasses including wheat, millet, red top sorghum, red clover, etc, etc, etc. I worked on the drying, cleaning, bagging, testing and labeling side of things. {although I did go in the field to help with combine repair a few times} We used hot air coming up from the screen bottoms of the drying bins. We spread something in the seeds when they came in off the trucks, but I can't remember what it was. {it was 30 years ago}I've not used sulfur powder for pH adjustment due to water pH, but there are a lot of web-based calculators for that dosing. I've used it as a fungicide with great results but not on pot. I used to contract grow flowers for a seed company 6-10 acres per year. Did it for 5 yrs (Don't ever consider it, brutal risky biz.) Anyway,harvest time was usually early Nov, just as the rainy season started. First year I lost more than half the seeds to mold and shit after harvest. The seed has to dry for a couple weeks before being bagged up and shipped to the company. Anyway, I tried the sulfur powder; spread the seed, dust, rake it in, next batch. Saved those subsequent seeds from the mold.
Yep. Out of the clear blue my sister emails me : "Now that it's legal, grow Hemp for CBD" She throws in some BS calcs from some article she got the idea from(mixing middleman and retail costs/profits not grower) no legally required permit and taxes. It's just toss seed in the ground and you'll be rich. I emailed back: Fuck offMy stepdaughter comes up with "easy, get rich" ideas frequently. She once talked of growing lavender for profit.
She has a hard time growing grass, I knew that idea would never blossom.
If what you wore when you spread the stuff on seeds was respiration and sealed eye protection, it was very likely sulfurI worked for a seed producer for about a year. Grass seeds mostly.

The trucks came in at night, so I didn't actually do the spreading. But it didn't have the rotten egg smell, so most likely some sort of pesticide.If what you wore when you spread the stuff on seeds was respiration and sealed eye protection, it was very likely sulfur
Edit: sulfur dust mixes with tears to make Sulfuric acid lol
Was it pink, or the seed pink afterwards? That's a combo pest/fungicide for packaging seedsThe trucks came in at night, so I didn't actually do the spreading. But it didn't have the rotten egg smell, so most likely some sort of pesticide.
we are there today, got the wife setup in her room next to the a/c also set her up with some space tomato too to help here out with her ms hugs.....69 degrees @ 10:30, delta breeze did it's job last night. Won't last long though we are headed back into triple digits next week.
That sucks. Did you start collecting again after that? I guess replacing it with a coin from ebay won't have the same memories.My wife gave my coin collection away.
They were only worth face value. A box full. Coins collected from my travels.
I was pissed she gave them to her uncle. She said "You never even look at them and Perry likes them".
Pissed is a calm description. Most of them were still in circulation so those were no big deal.
I was livid that he sorted through the box took out the unique ones I prized and returned the rest
The 1981 Australian Princess Diana 50 cent piece was the ONLY one that I have not completely let her off the hook for.
I can't remember there being any color on the seeds. Not like you see in bought seeds. We had to weigh the bags, and add or remove to make them exact, and I never had any come off on my hands.Was it pink, or the seed pink afterwards? That's a combo pest/fungicide for packaging seeds
"don't eat the pink bread"Was it pink, or the seed pink afterwards? That's a combo pest/fungicide for packaging seeds
We have a buyer that fly's in before harvest and will 'Buy-the-farm'....just weight it up he says. It sure makes life easier.
They pop up every now and then if I see one I’ll take a pic of it. If you want I can send it.My wife gave my coin collection away.
