    2023 Gardens

    I start my watermelon inside around May 1, then transplant 4 weeks later. They need lots of time and warm soil when transplanted, and plenty of water. I grew Crimson Sweet last year. We freeze our sweet corn right on the cob. Put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes with the husk on, then...

    Our credit card balances are now approaching $15K at an average of 29% interest thanks to the federal and state government taking 24 months to approve a Multiple Sclerosis disability claim for my wife. The backpay they owe her will pay them off when it's finally approved, but that interest is...
