2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Remains True to Form

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Remains True to Form

Cars
BY MIKE SUTTON | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT A third row of seats and modern levels of tech and refinement don't diminish the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee's ultracapable nature. Jeep faced a fair amount of pressure to not screw up the 2021 Grand Cherokee L, the long-wheelbase, three-row debut model of its new fifth-generation mid-size SUV. (A shorter, more traditional two-row version will bow this fall.) Since its introduction for 1993, the Grand Cherokee has evolved into an SUV icon, an American Land Rover of sorts, flush with refinement and impressive off-road and towing credentials.

For bountiful beans, plant in warm soil

For bountiful beans, plant in warm soil

Home & Garden
By Walter Reeves, For the AJC Troy Warren for CNT Q: I have tried over and over this spring to grow pole beans but only a few seeds sprout. Any ideas why? Debbie Johnson, email A: I think the soil has been too cool to plant green beans until now. When the soil is 65 degrees or lower, you’ll get sporadic germination. When the soil is 75 degrees or above, you’ll get close to 100% germination. Buy more seeds and try again. You can check your local soil temperature at Georgiaweather.net.
