The weather forecast

The real spring weather is almost here, in our area, the last time that 80 degree weather has been in the forecast was back in October.

I really can't wait, I have a whole window full of plants waiting to be put outside, and I want the temperatures to be just about perfect, I want them to grow as fast as possible, I eat a lot!

I'm really not the type of person that does gardening, but anyone can grow corn, beans, or anything else. Just plant it, water it, give it sun, and watch it grow. If you start from seeds, most seed packets have directions on how to care for the plant. You can also use the Internet. I am growing tomatoes this year, and I heard that tomatoes are best grown in perfect conditions. I visited Reneesgarden.com while using Google to find out how to grow a tomato. The site gives pictures and describes the steps for growing the certain plant.

In this economic depression, I believe that growing my own food will be a good thing for the economy in some way. For example, corn, which is Iowa's biggest crop. If I grow more of my own corn, then there will be more corn for making ethanol gasoline (E85), which is cheaper, and supposedly better than every other gasoline. Think about growing your own corn this year. It's cheaper than going to the store and buying it.
