OK, I have no idea what that means, but sounds like there is a Darwin Award involved.

Never too early or late to look at farm land.
Anyone have knowledge or opinions on colloidal silver.
It's a good antispetic. Not particularly better than any other I guess. Doesn't burn? Don't ingest it. I had an ear infection for months and it didn't really do anything for it. I ended up getting rid of it with rubbing alcohol soaked cotton balls while I slept. Hurt like hell.

Oh yeah! Someone was really spreading the meme it is supposed to cure or be really effective against Ebola. I forget the details but someone tried to send a boat load of it to Africa and it was seized at the port or something. Around the time we had a possible Ebola outbreak in Dallas my wife's mom bought a shit ton of it that just sat around the house forever.
Not gonna lie though. I was really freaked out about that too. Idk wtf happened but I legitimately freaked out about it and was contemplating getting credit cards and maxing them out on canned food and water. Something about Ebola must freak me the fuck out or something.

Does it mess up your renal system if you drink it ?
Ebola is a little spooky. Ugly way to die.
I've been keeping tabs on the outbreak in the Congo. Those fuckers don't seem to take it too seriously, but when your expected lifespan is 40 years it might change your way of thinking.

I mean late in the year to start growing.
Depends on the region you're looking at. In Florida, as you know, you can grow 365 here, you just rotate the crops through the seasons. Corn/potatoes (including sweet)/carrots/beans/broccoli /Brussel sprouts/squash/onions in the spring, okra/peas/pumpkins(starting) in the summer, squashes/lettuce/rhubarb/celery in the fall, and strawberries/lettuce in the winter. Tomatoes and peppers and most herbs can be grown all year long. In the fall-spring you grow larger tomatoes and in late April you switch to heat resistant cherry varieties.
