The corn was planted late. We knew that at the time.
Because their house is located so deep in the woods, my mother has had no luck getting vegetables to grow. When my parents heard there were garden plots available in town, they signed up for one, and have had a garden in town for several years.
The rhubarb was already up when they were told there was a garden plot next to theirs that was not being used.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was critical of Kamala Harris recently, and when Harris responded to the criticism, she said that “women should be supporting women.”

Today, however, that system is under threat. Fortunately, Congress is responding with a bipartisan bill aimed at restoring that right -- and boosting our economy in the process.
