A few actual little white flowers on some of my Cayenne pepper plants, but no peppers yet.
Lots of tomatoes on the tomato plants, some getting pretty big, but all green.

> Part of First Amendment jurisprudence is ensuring that the least restrictive means are used by government to achieve its goals. Writing for the majority in Ashcroft v. ACLU, a case challenging COPA, Justice Anthony Kennedy explains that the District Court considered the alternative of filtering software, which is “less restrictive than COPA” and more effective in the goal of restricting content to minors.

> Kennedy explains the value of filters that can be used by parents to limit what their children can access, noting that “[t]hey impose selective restrictions on speech at the receiving end, not universal restrictions at the source.” Without COPA and with filters, adults may access speech easily and choose to set restrictions for their children. Kennedy also pointed out that filters avoid the need to condemn broad categories of speech as criminal, which prevents the chilling effect. Kennedy also cites a 2000 report to Congress by the Commission on Child Online Protection—created by Congress to study COPA—which found that parental filters were far more effective than ID or credit card verification.
