  • French green beans, a gourmet delicacy

    I have loved green beans ever since I grew ‘Tenderette’ in the 5th grade for my 4-H project at Simpsonville Elementary.  I still love ‘Tenderette’ but now I prefer to grow pole beans, or climbers, so I don’t have to bend over to pick!  If I do grow bush beans, it will be a long row of ‘Tavera’ because it is a flavorful bean at any size.  Another great thing about pole beans is that the vertical growth is a way to maximize yield in a limited space, so consider going vertical if you have a small garden plot.

  • Bullying often a motive cited in some school shootings

    In the days since the tragic shooting at Marshall County High School, social media has been abuzz with rumors that the 15-year-old suspect may have been bullied.

    One student who spoke with Courier Journal with her parents’ permission said she had heard the rumors that he had been bullied, but could not say whether or not it was true.
    Marshall County Schools could not be reached for comment.
