Don't mean to rock the boat, but anyone who has spent time in South Jersey, and had a square foot or two in the backyard has been forced by tradition to plant tomatoes and peppers. My Father-in-law used to carpool to Lakehurst from Cherry Hill, and would stop at the Red top or Green Top farm...

Has anyone been following the talk about banning backyard gardens? This has been on going for quite some time, but the latest insult to the backyard gardener is the insistence that home gardens are damaging the environment. Given the political climate, pun intended, home gardens may be a thing...

I read a comment somewhere that stated people who use self check-out do not want to interact with a store clerk, for whatever reason.
