    Wow, talk about different climates. We are literally just getting into spring now. Today we broke 80 degrees for the first time...It got down to 10 degrees just two weeks ago with over a foot of snow. I’ll just now be planting taters this weekend when I get off this work hitch. I’m doing all potatoes, the entire garden, different varieties. Plan is to be potato rich and barter for other veggies.

    Donald Trump says he has seen evidence that the coronavirus started in Wuhan virology laboratory – as he warns he could impose tariffs of $1 TRILLION on China in retribution
    • Trump said he was confident the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China
    • The president also warned he could impose tariffs of $1 trillion on China as a punishment for the pandemic
    • He seemed to rule out withholding US debt payments to China calling it a 'rough game' that could damage the 'sanctity' of the dollar
    • Sources said US officials are seeking retribution from the nation, such as canceling debt or stripping China of its 'sovereign immunity'
    • Trump also blasted the World Health Organization Thursday
    • He then cast doubt on the theory the virus jumped from animals to humans

    Usually when I do taters, I grow them in 5 gallon buckets which I get for free around here from the farmers...I just drill some drainage holes in them and leave the handles on them for moving them around as needed...makes things easier for me and I always just grow the red potatoes...and I don't pull the plant up till near the end. Instead, i just stick my hand in the dirt and feel around and pull out what I need and let the plant keep growing and producing.
    I like the red potatoes because the early smaller ones which are about the size of an egg, are so good in soups/stews, etc., and if I let 'em grow I can also get some as big around as my fist that are great for baking.

    So excited for Trump to do something idiotic and cause irreparable harm with the worlds most powerful nation, China. His tough guy act will get us into even deeper trouble. I can’t believe nobody has put a bullet in this shitbag yet.

    You're going to feel horrible when the Secret Service shows up to the real Calvin Natt's home and arrests him for making threats against the president.

    Maryland governor says coronavirus tests acquired from South Korea under guard at undisclosed location


    Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said Thursday that thousands of coronavirus tests obtained by the state from South Korea are currently protected in an undisclosed location by the Maryland National Guard.

    Asked in a Washington Post Live interview whether he was concerned the federal government would seize the tests, Hogan acknowledged “it was a little bit of a concern.”

    “We spent about 22 days and nights dealing with this whole transaction with Korea. We dealt with the Korean Embassy, folks at the State Department ... and our scientists on both sides trying to, you know, figure out these tests,” Hogan said, adding that he also coordinated with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    “And then at the last moment, I think 24 hours before, we got the sign-off from the FDA and Border and Customs, to try to make sure that we landed this plane safely," he continued.

    Hogan said state officials ensured the plane landed at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport rather than Dulles International Airport in Virginia, noting that it was the first time a Korean Air passenger plane had landed at the airport.

    “We landed it there with a large contingent of Maryland National Guard and Maryland State Police, because this was an enormously valuable payload. It was like Fort Knox to us, because it’s going to save the lives of thousands of our citizens,” Hogan continued.

    Asked whether the National Guard was continuing to protect the tests from seizure, Hogan responded, “They are.”

    “The National Guard and the State Police are both guarding these tests at an undisclosed location. These things are being distributed; they’re helping us distribute the tests," he said.

    He also said that the National Guard was assisting the state in various other humanitarian efforts, including supply and personal protective equipment distribution.

    Hogan’s decision reflects growing distrust between states seeking to outsource their own medical supplies and federal agencies.

    Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) had a purchase of 3 million N95 masks confiscated by an unspecified federal agency at the Port of New York in March just as the state was in the process of acquiring another 1.2 million from China.

    Baker ultimately relied on a private jet owned by the New England Patriots to transport the other 1.2 million masks that he purchased from China to Boston.

    Two weeks later, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) arranged for two charter flights to transport millions of masks and gloves from China to Illinois, intentionally keeping the details of the flights secret from the Trump administration to avoid confiscation.

    “It is true that the federal government seems to be interrupting supplies that are being sent elsewhere in the nation, and so I wanted to make sure that we received what we ordered,” Pritzker told reporters at an April 15 press conference.
