Your gardens have been waiting for the CGC Plant Sale

The World’s Best Vegetable – for people who eat bad food
The World’s Best Vegetable – for people who eat bad food
I like cheeseburgers and chocolate ice cream, salty French fries and icy cold Cokes. I enjoy what most folks would call “bad food.” Bad food in the sense that it might not be so good for me. But, bad food tastes good, so most of us eat it and ignore the dangers to our health. 04/19/2023 23:00
Your ‘God’ place or mine?
Your ‘God’ place or mine?
I found safety and security in my mother’s arms as a child. I found all the answers to all my questions on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I learned about danger on The Roadrunner Show. As a child, I found a place to hide and just be. Unfortunately, those days are long past, and I sought my God place between the rows of tomatoes and squash. I found my refuge, my quiet place where God and I could commune. 04/19/2023 23:00

Dueling tax proposals in the Lege
Dueling tax proposals in the Lege
The Texas House passed a bill promising $17 billion in tax relief, a measure that is at odds with the Senate’s tax break plan, according to the Austin American- Statesman. The House bill would lower by half a home’s cap on appraisal increases. It passed overwhelmingly, 1419. However, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, said that body will not approve it, preferring its plan to raise property exemptions from $40,000 to $70,000. 04/19/2023 23:00
