For those with a garden or helping out with one.
I'm mostly growing tomatoes and sweet peppers. Most cost savings over grocery/farmers markets + use a lot of them. Plus a crowd favorite when giving away to neighbors and friends.
Sweet peppers are really finicky btw.

Knotweed is fricking awful. It is a highly invasive plant that grows pretty much anywhere, makes gigantic bamboo like stalks that shade over everything, choking all growth and it is extremely hard to kill due to the surviving ryzome being underground It must be destroyed at all costs.
This time of year knotweed is starting to grow and producing stalks that look like reddish asparagus. The best way to deal witg it now when you see it is to chop down, kick away or otherwise destroy the stalk and then smash down the stem. Killing the plant for good can take decades.
If you see a knotweed plant anywhere, kill it for the greater good of the environment. I just cleaned out a huge portion on part of other white mountain naitonal forest here that spread from an illegal dump a few years back. Thankfully we contained it but many others will let it go. Pls do the needful I stand with Israel
Here's a new nymph I just bumped into now. Destroy this with absolute fury

Eagle Scout Review Boards hate this one weird trick to start fires with wet wood covered in snow!
Fun for all ages, but less prosecutable as a minor!
1. Save every scrap of styrofoam that you ever see.
2. Buy a regulated container for gasoline (steal or $25)
3. Buy a big butt glass jar with a crew top lid. Idk pickles or something? Rinse it out well and let it air dry (steal or $4)
4. Buy some gasoline ($3-4 per gallon)
5. Pour a little bit of gasoline into the jar.
6. Shmoosh some styrofoam into it and let it melt. It will look gooey, maybe pinkish?
7. Get a feel for how much gasoline you have to add for how much more styrofoam you think you need to add.
8. Shut the lid tight.
9. Don't tell anyone else what you just did.
10. Bring this magical jar with you to every scout camp you ever go to but don't use it unless it rains or snows.
11. See (10). Get the wet wood and schmear your magic goo on the underside. Light it on fire AND STAND BACK! That smoke is toxic, what the frick were you thinking?
12. The wood catches of fire and you saved the day.

It's a long list.
The path of totality will be about 9,200 miles long and 115 miles wide, on average, so it will cross through hundreds of towns and some major cities.
A new eclipse map—based on an updated figure for the radius of the sun—was published recently by John Irwin, a master in eclipse computations
Grazing Zone
None of this should alarm anyone who is planning to head deeper into the path of totality, but if you're home or school is the “grazing zone” then ... move on April 8! You will not regret experiencing even a few seconds of totality.
Here are 15 locations in the U.S. and Canada where the path of totality will likely be narrower than previously thought—by around 2,000 ft./600 meters—which means some people that were previously expecting a quick look at the sun's corona will now miss totality altogether.
In all of these maps, the red line is the “classic” limit of the path of totality and the orange line is the “new” limit that uses the latest figure for the sun's radius. If there's a red arrow, it's means a loss. A green arrow is a gain.
Texas And Illinois: Northern Limit
The new map has alarming consequences for cities dissected by the edges of the path of totality. Denton, at the far north end of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, gets a 99.95% partial solar eclipse. The advice was already to travel southeast to the southern half of Lewisville Lake for a short totality. Now it means going a little farther to make sure. It's a similar story in Effingham, Illinois.
Indiana: Northern Limit
Those on the southeast side of Kokomo, Indiana, will glimpse totality for a few seconds‚ but fewer people will see it than previously thought. It's the same with the far southeast corner of Frankfort, while Crawfordsville is just inside the path but has a super-short totality. The latter's northern suburbs are now outside the path.
Fort Wayne in Indiana is now farther from the path than it was.
Canada: Northern Limit
Montreal, Canada's Cité Jardin and its park—which contains the Olympic Village and the Olympic Stadium—are within the path of totality in standard eclipse maps. On Irwin's, it's just outside.
In Newfoundland, one of the last places thought to see totality in North America—Lumsden Beach—now will not.
Ohio: Southern Limit
On the southern edge, it's a more mixed picture, with the “new” limit beyond the “old” limit until the lines converge in Arkansas, then diverge.
In Ohio there are three “edge” cities whose CBDs must be avoided on April 8. That remains the case, it's just a little more extreme now
New York: Southern Limit
The Finger Lakes region of New York—many of its lakes already frustratingly split by the path of totality—now appear to be even less endowed with totality.
You may think this doesn't matter, but there are already many events planned for the edge of the path, and many schools situated near it. Luckily, St Michael's School in Penn Yann, New York is still just within the limit.
Instead of being split in two by the edge of the path, Rome, New York now appears to almost entirely outside of it.
Texas: Southern Limit
There are, however, tow distinct winners from the new map. Although San Antonio still requires great care on April 8 if totality is to be witnessed, the path of totality appears to have widened slightly in its favor.
It's a similar case for Austin, where the city's southeastern region is shunted slightly back into totality. Its airport still misses out, but where once its McKinney Falls State Park was outside the path of totality, it's suddenly now in it.
WHICH MEANS I MIGHT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT SEEING IT IN MAINE, SINCE BEFORE IT WAS SEVERELY NORTH OF ME.
