The U.S. is also busy plotting a ground attack despite publicly engaging in diplomatic efforts allegedly aimed at finding a ceasefire. A Saturday night report in The Washington Post suggested that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf correctly indicated that the U.S. wants to initiate a ground incursion in Iran. “The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could…

Potatoes are one of the most rewarding crops you can grow. They’re easy to plant, very productive, and surprisingly adaptable. In fact, potatoes are one of those plants you can grow in almost anything as long as the container has room, drainage, and enough soil. Gardeners grow them in raised beds, buckets, grow bags, trash cans, and repurposed containers. One clever option is growing potatoes in laundry baskets. This method is really useful if you don’t have a lot of planting space. Laundry baskets are cheap, easy to find, and large enough to grow a good crop. They also make…
