I am moving to Juneau for a temporary job and I am curious as to what I need to do. I plan on moving back to my home state after the 5 month contract is up. Do I need to get an Alaskan driver's license? What about car insurance? Am I considered a resident? Where do I stand?

How Do You Grow Inpatiens From Seed? #823757

Asked March 28, 2023, 5:15 PM EDT

We've planted impatiens seeds in potting soil, put them in full son exposure to the south, and misted them every day. (Planted probably at the end of January / beginning of February. The starts have four leaves on them and almost an inch tall. Are we supposed to pinch back any leaves to cause the plant to bush out or should we just continue as we're doing? Thanks!

Pressure Canner Safety #823750

Asked March 28, 2023, 4:37 PM EDT

I have a 20 qt. pressure canner that I purchased years ago. After sitting unused for a number of years I took it to the extension office to have the gauge checked. It was measuring slightly under what the gauge registered. I want to can meat so it needs to be accurate. The lid has a vent also. My question is: Can I still use this canner if I purchase a weight to measure the pressure or should I replace the canner altogether?
