Things from the News:
1. China is on the move, meaning with seeds. All across the United States people have been reporting, that they have received seeds, sent from China. If you get them, do not plant them! They're of all different kinds, but they are also unknown, and they could be noxious weeds that will be hard to get rid of. Report them to your States Plant Regulatory Official.

Another Scam, having to do with stimulus checks: The Better Business Bureau is already reporting that government imposters are calling about COVID-19 relief. As part of the scam, callers suggest that you might qualify for a special COVID-19 government grant and that it's necessary to first verify your identity and process your request. Variations on the scheme involve contacts through text messages, social media posts, and messages.
Other twists on the scam suggest that you can get more money from the government - or get your stimulus check faster - if you share personal details and pay a small "Processing fee." Don't take the bait. Stimulus checks are free money from the government. You don't need to spend money to receive your check. And there are no short-cuts - even for a fee.
Some people are so assinine, trying every which way they can to scam people out of money, and sad, but true, even with the warnings, people still fall for it.
