After a fairly mild week we are enjoying a nice snow shower this morning here in Central Missouri. It’s been quite a dry winter up until now. We’ve only had one good rain event prior to this snowfall.
Collards and kale are showing a bit of frostbite after the bitter cold weather that we had over New Years weekend. I don’t have the necessary materials to make proper row covers so the plants just have to tough it out.
I’d like to have a low tunnel out there, but those things are a bit of nuisance to put up up and take down every year. I’m thinking that a good compromise might be to cover the green bean arbor with visqueen and plant my fall greens under that.
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks!

Wisconsin-based Penzey Spices Says All Republicans Are’Racist,’ Want to ‘Shoot a Black Person’

On Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day, a spice company sent out an email calling all Republicans “racist” who largely hope to one day “shoot a Black person.”
Penzeys Spices, a Wisconsin-based company, issued an email promotion Jan. 14 dubbing the MLK holiday weekend, “Republicans are racist weekend.”
The promotion went on to accuse Republicans of opposing BLM’s success “in moving America towards greater equality for Black people, in many ways the first real success since the time of Dr. King,” during the racial justice protests that erupted nationwide during summer 2020.
“Republicans did all they could to derail that success by trying to drown out BLM’s message with shouts of all lives matter, and blue lives matter, and lying about the leaders of BLM being Marxists and Communists,” the company’s promotion said.
The promotional message then accused Republicans of labeling BLM activists as “terrorists inciting violence throughout the country” and then “[racing] out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person.”
“What a bunch of racists,” the message continued. It then accused Republicans of gerrymandering, making it harder for people of color to vote and of supporting former President Donald Trump, a man who characterized Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “murderers.”
