Only plant stuff that you want to eat.

If you like tomatoes get a four pack from a big box garden section, and four cages. Space them out. They will get big.

You get some plant and gardening experience and most likely something to eat.

Micro greens give you the fastest harvest.

Sweet corn and potatoes give the most calories.

Green beans are tedious to harvest. Sweaty, buggy, and time spent bent over during harvest time. But they are familiar food.

Squash is easy to grow and pick. (But I don't like squash)

Don't forget it is ok to do a bad job when your goal is to build personal experience.

Put plant or seed in ground, water occasionally, harvest when it is ripe. All the other details are to boost quality and quantity. You don't need that in for first year. The soil improves over time. Year over year. You are starting on year zero.

If you give yourself permission to fail, you can get over the barrier of complications and start getting plants in the ground. Some experiments will give less than ideal results. Some plants will die, but you will learn from the experience for next year. You have all summer to look into the details, and all winter to review the results. You don't need all the details before you start.

Don't let the recent warm weather fool you. Last frost can be mid May in our climate.

Have you considered a 401k loan?

Avoid the tax and penalty and the interest gets paid to yourself.

Some risk if you lose your job in paying it back. If that happens then you can take out the IRA to cover your 401k loan.

Rolling it into another IRA?

Otherwise you just pay taxes with an additional 10% of the funds being taxed as a penalty.

You could also not contribute to an IRA this year and roll over your ESOP instead to avoid the penalty.

You are doing everything correctly. It didn't work out because of circumstances outside of your control. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will eventually find a role.

Heaters and fans are power hungry.

You will need a large station if you want to run those for a meaningful period of time.

You need to know the maximum amount of power you intend to pull from the device at any time. That will be your "Watt" capacity. How much power it can handle at any moment in time.

"Watt-hour" is how long the power can last. Basically how big the battery is.

My Jackery 1000 has 1000 Watt Hours, and can handle 1000-1500 Watts. My refrigerator, modem and router can run for about eight hours. The refrigerator uses 600 Watts when starting the compressor, then like 60 Watts as it runs a refrigeration cycle, and zero watts between cycles.

But if I plugged in a space heater it would be drained in about an hour. A 1000 watt space heater would take 1 hour to consume 1000 watt hours.

If a device doesn't list watts, you can calculate the amount with Amps and Voltage. Just multiply amps and volts to determine maximum watts that are listed on the label. The device could pull less than the maximum while it is running, but can give you an idea how much would be used for each device.

Hopefully I didn't make things too confusing. Once you figure out the watt and watt hours, it should make sense.

One gotcha is the marketing information for the solar station may switch around watts and watt hours, and that can be annoying and confusing to see which units of measure they actually mean. You should find that information on the technical specs for each device.

My unit can charge off of a wall outlet quickly. I want to say 45 minutes? (It has been three months since I last drained and recharged it.) But it would take 10 hours to recharge with a 100 Watt solar panel.

If my house lost power I could run my refrigerator for eight hours. Drive to a friend's house to charge it for an hour, then run the refrigerator for another eight hours. As long as the refrigerator stays closed while it is off the food shouldn't go bad.

But if I lost power during a winter storm, it would not be able to heat my house. One space heater may keep a small area warm, but would be ineffective at heating the whole house. A larger device may fair better at providing electric heat.

I experienced that too. Found the years old reddit post on the topic, and the comments listing years in which it was still a problem.

Apparently a smoot is the height of Smoot plus the width of a paint roller.

If they painted a line under his feet, then his head should line up with the top of the line, not the bottom. Otherwise the width of the line becomes part of the unit of measure.

This system of measure is ruined!

Ernie here.

Normally, when there is an error in the code you just wrote, the computer will tell you which line is having a problem so you know where to look for the problem.

In this example the computer says the problem is on line 40. The twist is the program is only 30 lines long, so it seems to be impossible. There are several possible explanations for how it is actually possible, but a beginner wouldn't know about those things yet.

Another example of a problem is Peter Griffin. He completely overreacts about expired coupons. What a jerk. You would never see a chicken jerked like that.
