Persistent efforts are worth their weight in gold in the garden! If you want to add a bit of luck on your side, opt for smaller/mini varieties to start. They tend to be more forgiving and faster growing to maturity.

Drazan ad during my stream of the Broncos-Falcons preseason game did everything they could to not mention “republican” at all. Like it wasn’t the republican primary that she won to get to the governor’s race. If she doesn’t mention it, Oregonians won’t notice.

Radish flowers are underrated in the garden. These are daikons that I let flower and self-seed around the front-yard garden bed. They’ve been growing along just fine for three or four years now.

Dana Carvey’s “The Master of Disguise” was so bad but I was 17 and some of the jokes resonated, and I was 8 when “Super Mario Bros.” came out and had a blast. The one I nearly walked out on was “Battlefield Earth.” I didn’t because I went with my buddy who read the book and his mom was our ride.
