Yard and Garden Talk

I know I’m doing something right in the garden when one of the locals continues to relax (not flee) while I move around it. 😄

Pro tip: buy a patio tomato plant this year... Trump just decided to lay on a separate "anti-dumping" tariff on Mexican tomatoes starting in July. Yeah. 21%. This despite his administration deporting pickers of the US crop and despite the fact that the USA has long imported from Mexico over 90% of the tomatoes we consume.

Thanks, Don. Just when we figured well there's always pizza or spaghetti with tomato sauce if we can't afford to put meat or eggs on the table after our small businesses collapse because of tariffs on goods and materials.​

Why does this guy hate Americans AND almost everyone else on the planet so much???

US Will Impose 21% Tariff on Mexican Tomatoes Starting in July

The US will begin imposing tariffs of more than 20% on most imports of tomatoes from Mexico, citing “unfairly priced” shipments from the country.

We had an African Violet for a decade house plant, it had become large enough to split, then we had two. Then one died because of root rot, wrong potting medium, good drainage is required. So I read up, took some leaves and their stems from the good plant, and stuck them in water for about a month. They grew roots! Then I put them in small pots and about 2 months later, I have new plants sprouting from the base of the stem at the dirt level! Then I think they love heat but indirect light, and I’ll stick a couple out under the gazebo to see how well they fare in the heat here. ☺️
