You can also grow potatoes if you have a big enough pot or grow bag. A lot of fresh herbs can be rooted to start your own indoor planters.

I actually prefer these to true strawberries. They’re much more subtle and interesting.

Maybe, like COVID, the deniers will die first. Then the rest of us can get on with saving our asses.

LOL! I couldn’t figure it out either. My guess: an intern with the website password and too much time on their hands.

Love your handle, by the way.

That’s not how I read the headline. Given that this story is so old (months and months), if it’s newsworthy at all today, it should be “USDA Finally Updates Climate Maps for the First Time in a Decade.”

Anyone who needs them has been paying attention to the climate for years. It’s a neat bit of science reporting, but it’s hardly “Here’s What Suddenly Changed.”

Agreed. My issue is with NPR’s breathless headline and pretending that this is “news.”

Wasn’t this reported months ago? And zones didn’t suddenly shift just because the USDA said so. They’ve shifted over time because of climate change. The USDA just finally got around to catching up.

I used to be news director for an NPR member station, and even I think this is sloppy work.

So basically Wells Fargo can’t deal with layaway?
