NEW - Handy Andy Baryer on Spring Planting, the Sugar Shack Man Cave, and World Password Day

Spring gardening has a temperature threshold Andy Baryer treats as non-negotiable: nighttime lows need to reach 10 degrees Celsius before tomatoes, peppers, or squash go in the ground.

When to Plant and How to Harden

Metro Vancouver hit 25 degrees and Andy Baryer transplanted everything, knowing it was a stretch. He explains hardening off, the gradual outdoor exposure process that prevents seedlings from going into shock when moved from inside, and covers the smart timer systems he uses to automate watering once plants are in. He also ordered Marconi pepper seeds online and grew what AI later identified as spinach.

Nightclub Lighting for Dad and Your Password Problem

The Sugar Shack is Andy Baryer's best work: a backyard man cave built for his father, featuring RGB IC LED strip lighting installed behind custom crown molding dropped three inches from the ceiling to hide the individual diodes, fully voice-activated through Alexa. For World Password Day, Andy Baryer recommends checking your email at Have I Been Pwned to see every breach it has appeared in, then locking down email, banking, social media, and cloud storage with multi-factor authentication before a compromised password does the damage.
