Asparagus grown from grocery store stalks
Comments (29)Catherinet makes a good point - caps can be easier to read when someone has vision issues. Many plant stems will continue to grow after cutting. And you can most certainly grow new green onions from the cut-off ends if there are still roots attached. I've done it myself. That's how I got my lemongrass, years ago. I also grew a cabbage plant from a store bought head that had roots sprouting from the base. I cut out the core, planted it in a container, put it on a sunny windowsill, and it put out new leaves - no heading tho. I've also done the same with celery. If there's enough of the root 'plate' still attached, and it's fairly fresh, it can put out roots and grow. Here's what the cabbage looked like. Unfortunately, it died off after I transplanted it outside - I think because it was too hot and humid....See MoreWhat did you buy this week at the grocery stores/stores
Comments (22)I still had lots of food in the house, but DH told me to go ahead and stock up since he'll probably be on the road for 5-6 weeks this time and the immediate future of our para-transit sytem is iffy at best right now due to budget cuts. (We won't know its fate until March 19. On the 22nd, we'll either have it or it's immediately gone.) So, hey, I'm no dummy. I stocked up. Trader Joes - greek yogurt eggs Cheddar cheese bacon almonds frozen haibut frozen green beans frozen mixed veggies frozen mixed peppers frozen naan butter canned diced tomatos quinoa mustard Regular Grocery Store bread Tortillas raisins black beans lentils canned tuna (my lucky day - albacore at .79 a can!) 5# chicken breasts (on sale at .99 a pound!) 2# pork bag of baking potaotes 2 cucumbers 3 onions 2 gree peppers # asparagas quart strawberries 1/2 gal milk canned mixed fruit # bananas # mushrooms garlic limes flour olive oil freezer bags pinto beans # coffee 2 boxes tea bags On the clearance shelf, we found organic pommegranate juice, V8, cherry juice and peanuts for $1.00 eash. The store isn't going to carry them anymore. So we got two each of those. And I had coupons for two free bottles of laundry soap that expire at the end of the month, so I got those now. Total - too much. OTOH, I'm set for another 4-5 weeks except highly perishable items like lettuce or milk. (Althogh I have some canned milk if I really need it.) That doesn't include the things we get for DH to take on the road as I consider his road supplies separate from my grocery budget....See MoreGrocery Store Phalaenopsis - to save or not :-(
Comments (2)A lot of people will say to toss it but as long as there is some green left I always try to save a plant. Yes, it may be a long shot and take a few years to recover but if it works you will have a nice plant. If it doesn't , you didn't invest much and you might gain some experience. Phals are quirky, some will just die no matter what you do, some fight back in the worst conditions. It is possible for the velamen on the outside of the root to be damaged but the root inside is okay. If the root is green and solid leave it, just cut away the brown mushy ones. I think the mold will go away after you repot it and let it dry out a bit. After that I would try to give it as much consistency as possible. Keep it warm, medium light, and water regularly until it gets used to it's new environment. It may do nothing for a while , it may start growing right away, or it may decide that it is offended and die to spite you. Just don't mess with it after you set it up. Some people keep unpotting it to check the roots or move it around to try different spots or different potting mixes and one thing they really do not like is change. Good luck...See Moreempty grocery store shelves again
Comments (41)There is a shortage of truck drivers, which is having a big impact on many store's inventories. It's something that's been building for awhile too... https://www.fmlfreight.com/truck-driver-shortage/ "...Why is there a shortage of truck drivers? In order to talk about how we fix things, we have to first look at how we arrived here in the first place. Lots of people are under the impression that the shortage of long haul truck drivers is a recent and direct result of the Covid pandemic. Although the pandemic exacerbated the shortage, it’s been brewing for years. Driver demand exceeded supply by around 60k in 2019 and has hovered in that range over the past couple of years. As large as that number is, it’s actually projected to get worse in the coming years. We could see that number nearly triple in the next 5 to 10 years if we don’t work on the solutions to the truck driver shortage now. What is the main reason behind the trucker shortage? One of the main drivers in this discrepancy is that our current drivers are retiring faster than new drivers are signing on. If we want to effectively tackle the trucking shortage, we need to increase the size of the talent pool being groomed to take the place of retirees. In addition to those in the ranks that are retiring, there are other forces that are causing our current freight drivers to ditch their lives on the road. Modern improvements that have made freight transport safer have also led to some truck drivers losing jobs. Things like in-cab cameras, driving time limits, and increased drug testing sometimes weed out drivers. Those who can’t hack the new technology and its requirements fall to the side and need to be replaced...."...See Morebonsai_citrus_and_indoor_gardening
