Offering for June 7, 2025 Pioneer Operating Budget Author Melvin Santos Speaking: For many years gardening was often a challenge to us. It seemed like the vegetable plants we planted and cared for preferred to die! We never harvested anything. It was very disappointing. Every year, we would try again but with the same results.Finally, after watching enough YouTube channels on how to garden successfully, we learned that you need to have the right soil, watering system, and care.
