Your garden can be as big or as little as you want it to be. However, you do have to be mindful of how much space certain plants need as they grow. Vining vegetables like peas, pumpkins, and cucumbers need lots of space to stretch out, so I recommend getting trellises to utilize vertical space. Container gardens don’t need much space at all, especially if you’re growing flowers or herbs for cooking, making them perfect for homes with balconies or patios. Tomatoes also do well in containers, but make sure they’re large enough pots to accommodate your plants as they grow. If you want to use raised beds or plant directly in the ground, you’ll need a much larger space, at least 6 x 6 feet to give yourself enough room to work. If you’re looking to include sweet corn in your garden, you’ll need to plant at least three rows to ensure it pollinates correctly, and this means you’ll need a lot of space. A garden measuring at least 20 x 20 feet would give you enough room for three to five rows of corn and a few other vegetables and herbs. More

Microsoft / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNETIn February, It’s Foss News reported that a WSL image for Arch Linux was on its way, and as of now, it has become official — Arch Linux is available. Windows Subsystem for Linux is a compatibility layer that allows the running of a full-blown Linux environment.Up until this point, the only images available for WSL have been Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Remix, openSUSE, Kali Linux, and Pengwin. The addition of Arch delivers a rolling release distribution that should excite plenty of users, developers, and admins who want to finally try Arch. Also: New to Linux? Don’t try these 7 distros (yet)This new addition comes by way of several Arch contributors, particularly Robin Candau, who is the official WSL Arch image maintainer. According to the official image site, “Images are built & released monthly (via GitLab CI schedule) and aim to provide the simplest but complete system to offer an outright Arch Linux experience with WSL (including systemd support).” The site continues to say, “While images are built regularly, it is strongly recommended running pacman -Syu right after the first launch due to the rolling release nature of Arch Linux.” More
