DIY Money.
Logan, I have to tell you something about my garden.
Oh, I'm scared. I just love to update the people. Yeah, this is the 100-square-foot garden that you put together after no gardening ever.
Area garden experience. I'm taking care of indoor plants.
Can't wait to hear about this. I'm sure it's going swimmingly.
Well, I know.
Did you do that on purpose? I did. Pun intended.
It is going swimmingly in that for those who don't live in Kentucky, and this is coming out so much later anyway, so even those who lived in Kentucky and forgot, I planted my garden. It has rained every single day.
Yep. And we don't get like spring rain in Kentucky is not like this, not like the Northwest. Like it's not like we get sprinkles and it's like misty and whatever. It's literally torrential downpour for 15 minutes and then the sun comes out and then torrential downpour for another 20 minutes and then the sun comes out. It is terrible.
I watered it the first two days and then the sky has watered it the last nine, I think.
So we have a little river going in your plant box. Yeah. So do you have any growth?
I did have, so I did plant a couple things that had already sprouted. So those are still alive, last I checked.
Yeah.
So we'll see.
Well, you built a big enough planter box that you could probably make like an infinity pool out of it.
It's just going to be a swimming pool pretty soon, I think.
Yeah, exactly, for sure.
It just doubles up. No, now some of my flowers have seeded, which is amazing.
Impressive.
Have you ever seeded something? Yeah. Really? When?
We do our landscaping stuff, but we don't do 100 square feet. We do like three.
Okay.
Yeah. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Yep, fair enough. Okay, on to our housekeeping odds and ends.
Every time we do an episode, you just make me mad, and then I'm like, whatever, I don't want to talk to you. What's our question?
Fair enough.
Who has something that they want to ask me?

Yep. Angeline from Texas wrote in with a good one. Angeline, what do you got? D-I-Y.
Hey DIY Money Gang, this is Angela Lynn from Dallas, Texas. I had a question about EE Savings Bonds. So I have quite a few that are maturing. Two of them have already matured and one is coming up here in a few months. What would be the best plan of action for this money? One of the things I was thinking about was rolling it into my three-year-old's 429 plan or using it for her child care expenses as she's after the cutoff date for all of us here in Texas. So we'll actually have an extra year of private care. Thank you for your help in figuring out what to do.
And the only thing else I got to say is Okay, this is a great question, and I'm not going to answer it. I'm going to let you answer it. But I want to speak to something because we see this a lot. We see E.E. Bond. So let me break down what an E.E. Bond is real quick for those that don't know.
