Garcia Interviews With KHTS, Discusses Illegal Marijuana Growers, Stimulus Checks
Congressman Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, spoke with KHTS on air about several topics including illegal marijuana growers around the Santa Clarita Valley, the Congressional Art Competition, and stimulus checks.
Congressman Garcia discussed several important topics on air with KHTS, beginning with his recent surveillance of illegal marijuana grows in the Antelope Valley alongside the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD).
“These aren’t the legal state-sanctioned operations, these aren’t even small illegal operations in folks’ backyards,” said the Congressman. “These are massive nurseries that are being put up in the middle of the Antelope Valley Desert, Acton and Aqua Dulce, and on a scale you wouldn’t believe.”
Growing broad beans
Until last year I had always bought broad bean seedlings which would arrive in April and grow into tall plants over the following two or three months. Out walking in March one year, I noticed in an allotment that broad beans plants were already two feet high which led me to realise that these beans can be planted outside before the winter. Last October, this is what I did and within a few weeks they had germinated and small plants appeared. I was worried that they might not survive the cold but whatever frosts we had did them no harm at all. They flopped over and looked dead but perked up again as soon as the frosts had gone. This picture, taken four days ago, shows them up to half their full height and already in flower, I reckon we shall be eating them pretty early this year.
