Grow more of your own produce by being a smart farmer like me. I would like to share a neat tip with you. Did you know you can grow a wide selection of vegetables from different kinds of cuttings including stem and root ones? You can even use kitchen scraps to sprout some vegetable plants. Sweet potatoes are one of the easiest vegetables you can grow from vine stem cuttings. To do so, take healthy stem cuttings that are 15-20 centimeters (6-8 inches) long and remove the majority of the foliage. Put them into a container filled with water and after the roots have sprouted a few inches (5 to 8 centimeters), plant them into a pot filled with good quality potting mix and set in a location that’s frost-free during the winter. You can then plant these in your vegetable garden the following spring or grow them in a container or grow bag. That’s a smart farming approach my friends!
We just saw a giggle sign, which said that the joke of the day is ahead, so let’s get comfy and listen! This one’s entitled “Extra Tourists.”
Some friendly Martians were thinking of visiting Earth.
“Well, we have to be careful and blend in with the people of the planet.”
“I know how: we just smile and be friendly, like tourists.”
“Oh, but we have to smile extra and be extra friendly.”
“Oh, why is that?”
“Because we’re extra-terrestrial tourists.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Hsiu-Yun in Taiwan, also known as Formosa
