Every time I go out to pick my garden I feel like I'm getting free food. I know it's not really free when you factor in labor, time, fertilizer, etc.. But it still feels free to me. It feels like a big Eff You to the grocery store!

I love it because I know what goes in it. I try to keep mine as natural as possible although I do fertilize with both organic and chemical fertilizers. My garden is virtually weed free since I put down landscape fabric and I use manual pest control as well as natural applications for pests as needed only.

At the moment I have cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, yellow squash and zucchini growing so fast we cant eat it fast enough. My bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplants are just about ready. And hopefully in about a month we'll have corn and okra to eat too.

My Dad has a garden and he had it the whole time I was growing up, it was about a 1/3rd of an Acre and produced more food than we knew what to do with. He would can stuff so it wouldn't go to waste. I don't think that man ever spent money on produce.

We always had a garden growing up. It only seemed natural and the right thing to do to have my own. I only wish I had paid better attention to my grandpa, I probably wouldn't have the trouble I've had with pests. Thank goodness for the internetz and the feed store or otherwise I'd have given up long ago.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
