Louisiana Voters Disturbed by Legislative Antics Remember, back in the days when members of the Louisiana congressional delegation were easily accessible, and regularly in touch throughout their districts? When you saw your representative at local fairs and festivals, riding parades, shaking hands, and having their picture taken with constituents? Remember when each one of Louisiana’s six congressional districts was concise, and you could travel from one end to the other in less than an hour? Remember when your congressman would hold a $25 a person picnic fundraiser in their district with hundreds of people showing up? Those days are long gone. In days past, a voter could find Northwest Louisiana congressman Joe Waggoner on a Saturday morning at Murrell’s Café in Shreveport holding court with constituents.

With the spring planting season right around the corner, I’ve been spending my evenings cleaning seeds that I saved over the past year, getting it ready to go in the ground or share with others. Many longtime gardeners save seed to keep their favorite vegetables and herbs going from year to year. This may be a family tradition, with heirlooms and old varieties passed along over the seasons. Some seed savers do so to save money, as the cost of seed has increased over time like everything else. Some seeds are saved because they are no longer available in seed catalogs or have special traits that make them locally strong and more viable when grown in challenging conditions. Whatever your reasons for saving seed or wanting to start this practice, there’s some great resources out there to help guide you.
