How are you guys doing for your fall plantings?
Comments (33)Fall crops, those are dirty words at my house this year. The past weeks highs have been in the upper 90's flirting with 100 several times. We had a cool spell in early August and I got radishes, haikuri turnips and carrots planted. We have been harvesting for two weeks now on the radishes. They do have a strong radish flavor but not bad. I have also seeded two more plantings after that and some daikon radishes. I want to get another planting in, maybe two, before I start planting them in the hoop buildings. I got a second planting of carrots in and the kids and I spent about 2 hours weeding them by hand. I know I flame weeded about 12 hours too soon, but 13 hours after I flame weeded, we got two inches of rain. That really brought up the second round of weeds. Fall tomatoes are looking ok. We have started picking a few. I wish they were further along because the markets are really low on tomatoes and customers are wanting them bad. Most amature home gardners tomatoes are done for the season. My June planting got stunted by the heat and are just now coming out of it. They would have been perfect to pick now. cherry tomatoes have more blooms than leaves! They are crazy! I hope those sales stay up this fall. I will have tons! I have 1200 plus seedling (various lettuces, napa cabbage, mustards bok choy, Tokyo bekana, cilantro, Swiss chard, 3 types of kale, and other stuff. My new problem is aphids. Not on my seedlings, but on my cucumbers between the two high tunnels I was planning on planting my fall stuff. I mowed off the cucs ( very sad day) sprayed everything excessively and I hope to knock them out. Now I need to tear out all the tomatoes and clean everything out. I want to wait a week after I tear out the tomatoes until I transplant in again.. Till up the ground and get things planted again and hope and pray I don't get another aphid infestation. I need to start another 800 seedlings, but I am behind! It is just so hot that I don't want to work in the high tunnels in the afternoons, after school. I also still am going to two markets a week. I may have to skip one to get caught up. Enough about my worries. Jay...See MoreDo You Own a.......................................?
Comments (48)Four cars in my family and four drivers. My Toyota Corolla, DH Honda Civic, DD20 Mitsubishi Gallant, and DD19 Ford Explorer SUV. We generally have three to drive and one in the shop for repairs-this week it's the Mitsubishi's turn. Handy having an SUV. For Mother's Day I bought two Adirondack lawn chairs. Borrowed the SUV to get them home. Also used it to haul bags of manure for my garden. Don't tell, she'll freak if she knew cow poo was in her SUV....See MoreMichael Strahan leaving
Comments (84)I was really hoping to see Kelly reassure and be happy for Michael. I'm watching him on GMA right now. The whole incident seems to have knocked him off balance. I know he will recover but had Kelly been gracious about his success and truly focused her anger on the suits and the way they handled everything, he could enjoy his moment without reservation or doubt. No matter how angry she is at the executives, if she did mentor Michael (which is the impression she gives and he has given her credit for mentoring him) she should be understanding of his situation. The May 13th exit date says it all....See MoreQuotes 8 - 14 - 17
Comments (3)Thanks for sharing LEL's words. So many of Letitia's words hold such substance for today, so learned a bit about her (all from Wikipedia) A precocious child, Landon learned to read as a toddler; The family moved to the country in 1809, so that John Landon could carry out a model farm project... and Landon was educated at home by her cousin Elizabeth from that point on. Elizabeth, though older, soon found her knowledge and abilities outstripped by those of her pupil: "When I asked Letitia any question relating either to history, geography, grammar - Plutarch's Lives, or to any book we had been reading, I never knew her to be wrong Landon's father died ... and Landon was forced to use her writing to support both herself and her family... Paying for Whittington through university (Worcester College, Oxford) was one of the needs that drove Letitia to publish. She died young (36) likely of a heart condition. Rumors no doubt were hurtful during her adulthood. Any assessment should not forget the factors that brought Landon to pre-eminence: the originality of her ideas and the sheer beauty of her poetry in all its many diverse forms. Those ideas engendered a whole new school of poetry (the "Landon School"), which spread not only in England but also in America. As for style, Mary Howitt comments thus:—This is one singular peculiarity of the poetry of L. E. L.; and her poetry must be confessed to be peculiar. It is entirely her own. It had one prominent and fixed character, and that character belonged solely to itself. The rhythm, the feeling, the style and phraseology of L. E. L.'s poetry, were such, that you could immediately recognize it, though the writer's name was not mentioned....See Morebkay2000
