Make sure Esperanzas are Gold Star and not a knock-off

Body
Dear Neil: I have planted several Esperanza plants in various places around our yard. All they have done is grow quite tall. I have tried cutting them down to three to four feet, but it didn’t help to get them to bloom. Still no flowers at all, even though they’re in full sun. What can I do?

Pros and cons of meal subscription plans

Body
From time to time, I feel it is a clever idea to subscribe to one of the several meal subscriptions plans available because I just want something different to eat. Another, and perhaps the biggest reason is because I can have the ingredients sent to my house, and I don’t have to grocery shop. This is good and bad, the positive aspect being that I can select a plan that is healthy and with proper portioning without buying extra ingredients. For example, you can’t just buy one carrot. The negative aspect can be the cost.
