However, Rahul Chauhan, director, IGrain India, warned that the falling prices of pulses may force farmers to shift to ther kharif crops like cotton and soyabean, whose prices are ruling above minimum support price (MSP)Wholesale prices of tur, moong and urad have declined 10-15% this week after government changed pulses import policy from ‘restricted’ to ‘open’ in the previous week. Traders, processors, farmers and analysts are concerned the move can put a break on India’s efforts of achieving self-sufficiency in pulses as fall in prices can encourage farmers to move to more remunerative crops.
Along with the changes made in import policy, the Centre has asked state governments to monitor pulses under the Essential Commodities Act to control any spike in prices. As prices of most of the pulses are ruling close to the minimum support price levels, trade participants are surprised by the policy changes.
“After India opened up pulses import to free category last week, prices of pulses started softening in the domestic market. At the same time, pulses prices have started firming up in the international market. As the next kharif sowing season is just round the corner, falling trend in pulses prices can result in decline in area sown under pulses. Farmers can shift from pulses to other kharif crops like cotton and soyabean, whose prices are ruling above minimum support price (MSP),” said Rahul Chauhan, director, IGrain India.
Following instructions of the central government to the states to monitor pulses under the provisions of the EC Act, the government of Rajasthan, a major producer of chana and moong, has asked traders to report their weekly stock position and the transactions they carry out during the week.
Farm leader Rampal Jat, president, Kisan Mahapanchayat, has expressed concern about the downward trend in pulses prices. “The free import of pulses can put a break on the journey of self-sufficiency in pulses that India had undertaken a few years ago,” he said.
Processing industry body All India Dal Millers Association said the policy changes will result in consumers paying more for their vegetarian protein. “The move to open import of pulses will result in concentration of the import trade in the hands of a few big multinational companies and a handful of big traders. These companies have already procured big stocks of tur, moong and urad in countries like Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa, Malawi etc. Small traders and millers will be forced to buy pulses at higher prices from the big importers. Imports will also result in farmers getting lower returns for their produce,” said Suresh Agarwarl, president, All India Dal Millers Association.

Here it is April and I’m still plotting my “spring” garden. Now that the weather is co-operating, my mind is wheeling with ideas and plans.
I am hoping to apply what I learned from last year’s summer garden, but apparently this past summer was out-of-the-normal for gardens. This is just the thing that would come my way. I always seem to try a first when everything is out-of-whack. Technically I think it might be a good thing. I mean, the more hurdles that are tossed my way just forces me to learn even more.
Last year, I learned not to place some plants near others or they will cross pollinate. For example: don’t plant cucumbers by zucchini.You will get these funny, gourd-looking cucumbers.
Another tips is to make sure to net your berries or they will be swallowed by the birds.
I also opted not to make raised beds, and have decided I will skip that again this year.
Since we have fresh ground to work with, we have a few big projects ahead of us. One being the beds. I must work on that shortly or I might miss my window for planting. I’m such a procrastinator about the things that I think won’t take that long.
I feel like I already have a jump on the planning though. I have my seed source ordered, my garden mapped (mostly) and a watering system plotted.
I actually think I might pull out a calender and write out my plan. Go me! That is definitely a first. Here’s to getting organized.


Powdery mildew is a fungus that can affect plants and appears as light gray or white powder-like spots usually found on infected leaves, but it also spreads underneath the plant’s surface to newer growth.
The infection eventually covers most of your leaf tissue with new infections being more susceptible than old ones because they haven’t had time yet to develop immunity against this pathogen.
Powdery mildew is a fungal infection that thrives in hot, dry climates. It needs fairly high humidity like the warm days and cool nights of late spring to early summer for its growth cycle but it also benefits from plenty of sunlight as well as good air circulation around buildings because this helps combat condensation which could lead you into having an issue with mold or fungus growths on your property.
If you let the fungal tendrils in your garden get out of control, they can rob plants like tomatoes and roses of water. They also cause minor damage such as leaves turning yellow or withered up but some infections will result in a weakened plant with slower growth rate which leads to less blooms than expected. You can visit moldtestingcrew.com to know more about mold removal.
Protection From Powdery Mildew
Powdery mildew is a fungal infection that can occur on your plants. Here’s how you prevent it before the problem arises:
- Maintain a healthy air circulation within your garden by thinning out existing plants and making sure there is adequate space between them.
- The more distance that exists, the better to help reduce relative humidity in this area of the home or office building. You should also keep ventilation high with open windows during summer months when temperatures are warmer than average.
- To keep plants healthy, it’s important that you locate them in the proper sunlight according to their needs. Maintain a balanced ecosystem by removing dead or diseased foliage and disinfecting pruners after use on infected plant material so they can continue providing nutrients for new growth cycles without bringing an additional risk into your home garden.
- Powdery mildew is a disease that can attack your plants and cause them to wilt. To protect against it, apply chemical fungicides such as sulfur on an ongoing basis when planting new growth in order not to over-fertilize them with nutrients or else risk running into problems like these.
How To Treat Powdery Mildew?
Powdery mildew is a nasty little condition that can quickly grow out of control. You might be able to prevent it with the right product, but in case you already have an infection take these steps for treatment.
Spray mixtures will only kill what they come into contact with so make sure all affected areas are coated thoroughly and try applying once per week- maybe even every other day if needed. It may take several applications before complete success occurs; just keep at this until your clothes start looking as good as new again.
Baking soda solution:
Mixing together 1 tablespoon of baking soda and ½ teaspoon liquid soap like Castile will create a paste-like substance that you can spray on top or bottom leaves as well any area affected by powdery mildew. This may work better as prevention than cure, though it does have some effect even if just used beforehand!
In a bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of potassium bicarbonate and ½ teaspoon liquid soap. Now add this mixture to one gallon water in order for it to turn into baking soda spray which you can use on your eligible plants/rooms that are infected by fungus or bacteria that trips insects like mealy bugs.
Neem oil is a natural way to treat powdery mildew and it can be added as an extra boost when using these other mixtures.
If you are suffering from mold problems at home, you should also check air quality and you can use air purifiers too.

German software company, SAP, has collaborated with Patna-headquartered agritech startup DeHaat, in which the latter will utilise a single integrated cloud platform- RISE With SAP, a subscription-based service that enables organisations to integrate and extend live data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to improve decision-making.
The deployment will help DeHaat optimise reporting, business, and finance operations, improve data security, and meet globally accepted audit and compliance requirements, thus aiming at better business outcomes.
“We will be able to redesign our supply chain through strategic data forecasting thanks to the SAP S4/HANA cloud platform rollout, and as a result, provide greater value to our partners," Shashank Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, DeHaat, said on the partnership with SAP.
DeHaat, which has raised $115 million funding in October, in aiming to improve the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of Indian agriculture and aid the growth of local micro-entrepreneurs.
At present, the company offers services to 1.3 million farmers across 11 Indian states including Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Odisha, Haryana & Chhattisgarh with plans to expand its service network to five million farmers by 2024.
Shyam Sundar Singh, Co-Founder and Executive Director, DeHaat, said, “We have been able to standardize business processes thanks to the implementation of SAP S4/HANA cloud, which is used by some of the biggest corporations worldwide."
He added that the company can now create process excellence across the entire business by increasing visibility, improving documentation, and reducing manual interventions.
“India is traditionally an agrarian economy and the second largest gross agricultural producer in the world. By various industry estimates, India loses around 20% of agricultural output due to fragmented logistics and complex supply chain process, said Sanket Deodhar, VP- Unicorns & Digital Natives, SAP India.
"Agricultural innovations such as cloud technology and AI-enabled insights can take the guesswork out of farming practices and processes, with improved efficacies and operational agility. We are excited to work with DeHaat to revolutionise India's farming supply chain and aid production efficiency through data-driven innovation,” he added.
According to a September 2021 EY report, ‘Agritech - towards transforming Indian agriculture’, adoption of technology in agriculture (agritech) is helping in solving several challenges across the spectrum of the traditional agriculture value chain, and presents a market potential of $24b by 2025.
Tech giants such as Amazon recently began offering real-time advice and information to farmers to help them inform their decisions on crops. Microsoft is also working with 100 villages and several startups in this sector to deploy AI and build new agritech platform.

Odds are that when you are a gardener, you’re working your yard not only because you want it to look nice but also because you enjoy nurturing nature. As it turns out, this can also have ecomonic advantages too, so why not consider these few tips to help make your green thumb even greener, save some money as well as energy and do something good for the environment right at your home?
With summer at its peak and thoughts of fall seeping into our minds, planting season may have past, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to integrate some economically friendly gardening ideas into your daily and weekly routine.
First there is the obvious: composting is an easy and very cost-effective way to minimize the amount of organic garbage that you have to haul to the curb each week, while at the same time spending less on soil. The matter that your compost breaks down to isn’t only loaded with good nutrients and microorganisms, but also causes water to be absorbed better when added to your current soil.
Are you a java-lover? Then keep your coffee grounds out of your green bin and spread them straight over the bottom of your plants! As you enjoy your daily energy-boost, so does your garden. Coffee is an amazing source of nitrogen and allows you to save on store-bought fertilizer. The only time you might want to worry is when your hydrangea all of a sudden starts to demand it double-double!
Talking about thirsty flowers, how much water do you figure goes straight from your tap on to your beds and lawn every day throughout the summer? Depending on the size of your garden, it may be enough to notice an obvious increase on your water bill during the hot months. The easiest way to cut down on your water bill is to install a water barrel under your downspouts. Used properly, the RiverSides Homeowner’s Guide to Rain Water states, a simple system like this can save between 65 and 70 percent of your runoff. Rain Barrels can be fancy with mosquito mesh or child proofing, which will cost you a bucket of cash, or they can be very cheap if you simply want to just buy a bucket. Whatever you chose, it will pay off on the long run, and your plants will thank you for giving them non-chlorinated water to drink.
Now that we’ve gotten your water bill reduced, why not work on that hydro bill at the same time – and maybe even your gym membership. Are you someone who uses an electric lawn mower? If your lawn isn’t too big and you cut the grass regularly, a manual push mower will actually do just fine. While it will work the muscles in your arms, abs and buttocks more than an electric or gas powered mower, but when has that ever been a bad thing – especially when the workout comes for free?! These devices cost less than 100 bucks and are actually not too hard to push, considering that you are only ever supposed to cut off one third of your grass length anyways to encourage root growth and avoid stress for your lawn.
What about left over clippings, you ask? Just leave them on the lawn as they are actually beneficial for adding more nitrogen to your lawn as they decompose. The clippings will also stimulate earthworm activity which is also healthy for the lawn. And don’t forget about noise reduction as well by pushing manually – that is unless you are concerned about your own huffing and puffing as you work up a sweat.
Heading towards fall, homeowners of course start to think about getting their yard ready for winter. Hay bales used as Thanksgiving decoration can be torn up to create some excellent mulch to cover your plants and protect them from frost. The same thing can even be done with old newspapers. Take your daily news out there, cut a hole in the middle of the page, place it around your flowers and smaller shrubs and weigh it down with some stones. While old news is actually no news, they will come in handy to prevent winter weed growth and discourages pests. This paper also breaks down easily and makes for delicious food for worms once next spring comes around.
Being creative and innovative with your late summer or early fall gardening can create a whole host of benefits. Not only are you saving money with your green endeavours, you might even shed a few pounds off your waistline and get rid of a lot of garbage you didn’t want to hold on to anyway. So give it a try – knowing you put cash back in your pocket and helped the environment by going eco friendly in your backyard will feel both amazing and instantly rewarding – I guarantee it!


TV BACHELOR CHRIS SOULES LAUNCHES WEBSITE SUPPORTING MODERN AGRICULTURE
Mar. 16, 2015
Through my experience on The Bachelor, I had the chance to travel, grow and strengthen myself, but I also learned how others outside of the Midwest view the American farmer.
Because farmers have done such a great job in providing reliable, safe and affordable commodities, they are often taken for granted and misunderstood. I now have the opportunity to make a difference and a responsibility to elevate the industry I have served and enjoyed since birth – agriculture.
I’m optimistic about the future of agriculture, and I plan to utilize my skills and abilities to serve as a spokesperson for the industry, highlighting recent developments and advancements farmers have made to get us where we are today.
Agriculture is a lifestyle for me, and I believe the future of the industry is bright. As a voice for farming, I plan to share what our traditionally humble industry has accomplished. Farmers are talented, resilient individuals who care about feeding the world’s growing population. They invest in technology and land preservation to ensure they, and our population, are positioned for a sustainable future.
I am proud to share and promote the American farmers’ story. It is part of my life, and it is a narrative I am honored to tell.

MarketsFarm — Feed grain prices have been on the upswing recently, according to Nelson Neumann of Agfinity at Stony Plain, Alta.
“We saw them at the end of last week, the beginning of this week, really jump up. Guys were scrambling to get stuff in before road bans,” he said.
He attributed the increased prices to lingering cold weather that plagued the Prairies over the last several weeks, as cattle ate more feed to keep warm.
Feed barley on Thursday was upward to $270 per tonne in the Lethbridge area, he said. Feed wheat was substantially less, in the mid-$250s range.
Feed prices from Prairie Ag Hotwire listed barley as low as $193 per tonne delivered across Western Canada. The highs ranged from $211 in Saskatchewan to $218 in Manitoba and $256 in Alberta.
Wheat, also delivered, was $228 per tonne in Manitoba and $193-$220 in Saskatchewan. Alberta had better pricing, at $209-$265 per tonne.
“I’m inclined to think the market will cool off in a bit,” Neumann said.
Corn imports from the U.S. have been continuing, with the bulk of them going to Feedlot Alley in Lethbridge.
“Corn pricing fell, but so did the Canadian dollar at the same time. Kind of balanced it out,” he said.
— Glen Hallick writes for MarketsFarm, a Glacier FarmMedia division specializing in grain and commodity market analysis and reporting.

Shocked and astonished over the Centre’s selection to impose inventory limitations on pulses, the Indian Pulses and Grains Trade Affiliation (IPGA), the apex overall body trade overall body has urged the Authorities to withdraw the buy instantly.
On Friday night, the Authorities experienced imposed inventory limitations on pulses for wholesalers, shops, millers and importers until October 31.
Reacting to the Government’s shift, Bimal Kothari, Vice Chairman, IPGA stated, “IPGA has normally welcomed and supported government’s initiatives to enhance the trade and double farmers’ income including revision of the import coverage from “restricted” to “free” in circumstance of Tur, Urad and Moong. But this buy of imposing inventory limitations on pulses has taken the pulses field by total surprise. It’s rather a regressive stage by the governing administration and will seriously affect not only the wholesalers, shops and importers but also the farmers and customers.”
Even further, Kothari stated that farmers are heading to be adversely impacted as it is heading to be peak period for them with festivals all-around the corner and planting time for kharif crops. “Prices are heading to crash. Chana is now advertising beneath MSP. Tur and Urad are advertising at MSP. On the one hand, the Centre wants the farmers to get MSP and double the farmers’ income but this variety of coverage will hurt everyone and is unquestionably not beneficial to anybody,” Kothari stated in a statement.
“India wants twenty five million tonnes of pulses every single calendar year. This calendar year we are anticipating scarcity. Commonly, an importer imports three,000 to 5,000 tonnes of one wide variety but imposing restrict to just one hundred tonnes for every wide variety will lead to controlling materials. These limitations will induce additional harm than great to the farmers and customers. These limitations are heading to throttle materials as the importers will not be in a placement to import substantial quantities alongside one another,” Kothari additional.
Considering the fact that the pageant period is approaching from the future thirty day period the provide could become a major constraint thanks to this restraining buy. “IPGA, on behalf of the field is totally stunned. We will absolutely make a illustration to the governing administration and tackle the difficulty. We urge the governing administration to instantly withdraw the buy,” he stated.


In yesterday’s post I forgot to mention a few other veggies that were frozen on that fateful night: our beautiful early seedings of radishes, arugula, and cress all fell victim to the cold. Like kale and mustard greens, these are all very frost tolerant plants, but twelve hours of -6 was just too much for them.
Unfortunately, the heat that quickly followed that cold night proved to be too much for the second seeding of radishes. They didn’t come up well and very few of those that did come up have been worth eating. Our apologies, but it looks like there won’t be any radishes this spring.
We replanted the arugula more recently and, in spite of the hot, dry weather, it appears to be doing well. If we get the promised rain tonight, it should flourish! Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Also, a word about green onions. Earlier this month you received the volunteer onions. We have planted cooking onions (yellow globe danvers), bunching onions, and multiplier onions and they are all looking good (sometimes too good for the stray chickens to resist, but we have been endeavouring to keep them out of the garden!). The first you will receive of them will be the thinnings of the yellow globe danvers, which can be eaten as green onions. We considered sending them this week, but it’s been so dry that we worried it would stress the remaining roots too much. If all goes well, they will make their way to you next week! The bunching onions need a little bit longer, but you should be seeing them before too long as well.
And finally, I wanted to mention bag return. We are very, very pleased with how well you are getting your bags back to the farm this summer. THANK YOU!! Having your bags here makes pick up day run so much more smoothly, so we really appreciate your efforts to get them back to us. Thanks also to those who have been sending clean grocery bags and cardboard egg cartons. They come in very handy!

For all the Zone 10 planters out there... what grows and what doesn't grow for you?
I've been here only 4 years, so def. not an authority! Definitely try heliconia, mine are going crazy, but my Birds of Paradise are very fussy and won't bloom. Ferns, ferns, ferns for shady areas. I've got beds of Boston and Macho ferns replacing most of the side lawns. They spread quickly and choke out weeds. They're virtually no maintenance (except keeping them in bounds). I don't plant much in the ground, they just don't do well. I've got a lot of natives in front of the house in heavily amended and mulched soil. The wax myrtle and elderberry are doing great. I've planted some bananas, too. We've had mild frosts each year I've been here, so the bananas lose their leaves and look kinda sad, but they bounce back. Good luck!
Have lived here for 9 years and will just list the plants I have had success with and those that didn't do well,..for me at least.
Recommended : Mango trees, key lime trees, bananas ( all kinds ), Southern Magnolia trees, and until 2011, Ruby Red grapefruits trees, ( citrus greening now a huge problem, - can't explain my thriving lime tree tho ).
Not recommended ( IMHO ) : Peach trees, ( even low chill, - too many critters ), tomatoes, avocado, blueberries, orange trees ( see grapefruit trees above).
Good luck !
I have been gardening in zone 10 for 20 years. Your question is pretty vague. Tons of stuff grow in zone 10. Are you wondering about fruit, veggies, nuts, herbs, tropicals, roses, butterfly plants, bamboo, orchids, begonias, bromeliads, grasses, natives, trees, or ????? All of these grow here, what do you like?


North of Kamloops, there's a pile of spuds sitting in the mud, but don't bother eating them, because they're mostly duds.
This "free potato pile" was brought to our attention by an anonymous source, but it turns out these taters aren't just there for the taking after all.
The potatoes and onions are ones that didn't meet the market standard for Green Acres Farm due to various defects and will be turned into compost to help the growth of future crops.
While some might look good to eat, that would be an ill-advised move, says Jas Dhaliwal with Green Acres Farm.
"Any type of food that's out in the elements, anything can happen. An animal can defecate on them or they could be carrying disease," he says.
"Once it goes out in the elements, then there's no protection for how it is or guarantee for how it's been treated. I don't think anybody should be eating them."
There is a sign that denotes roadside root vegetables shouldn't be consumed, but it gets knocked over a lot, so it's not uncommon for folks to help themselves, despite the pile being on Green Acres property.
For those that would like to see the potatoes and onions given to the less fortunate, Dhaliwal says they do send ones that pass their grading system to North Okanagan Gleaners, where they're dehydrated and turned into a soup base for the needy.

Chatham Tree Services
Integrated Pest Management
Chatham Tree Services uses Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.). I.P.M. is a method that manages plant pests by combining various control tactics.
A major component of cultural control is the proper plant selection. It is important to choose a species or variety suitable for the existing landscape.
Pruning out localized pest populations and removing dead and diseased branches.
Sanitation is the proper removal of dead or infested plant material that accumulates on the ground, which is an ideal habitat for certain pests.
Soil Health such as treating nutrient deficiencies , monitoring pH levels as well as mulching and irrigation practices.
Natures three main enemies, predators, parasites and pathogens, that occur naturally in the landscape. Using conservation strategies to ensure these beneficial enemies are not eliminated.
Chemical control may be necessary when other control methods fail. Horticultural Oil or Insecticidal Soaps may be sprayed to control some plant pests. Other Pesticides may have to be sprayed or injected into the tree to prevent further decline or death.
Our Certified Arborists would be happy to access your property to see if any of these control methods are required.

Our family loves the outdoors. As soon as it started warming up that's where Rick and the kids would be all day. Rick was a little excited and planted seeds a little too early outside so not everything came up but we did get a lot of good stuff growing. Some of the plants in our garden are carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, purple beans, peas, cantaloupe, watermelon, beets (which I found out I have a liking for), raspberries, blackberries (haven't gotten any berries yet though), cucumber, lettuce, strawberries, chives, pumpkin, red sweet corn, popcorn and a variety of squash (some of which are volunteers from last year). Once again I'm very grateful for Rick and his ability to do such an amazing job in the garden. He spent many days out in the hot sun turning dirt to get the ground ready to plant. The pictures of the garden here are from June 25th. We also have three fruit trees we planted last year. An apple, apricot and plum. The apple and apricot are on either side or our front yard and the plum is in the back. You can see the plum tree in the second picture of Owen on the right side of him if you look closely. We actually got 3 apricots but I neglected to take pictures before we picked and ate them. They were the most delicious apricots I've ever had in my entire life! I can't wait till next year!
This is after a day at seven peaks. We live close enough that they give us 2 free season passes every year. Next year we will have to pay for Owen though. :( I'm surprised they gave us one for him this year. We got it a month before he turned 3 and 3 year olds have to pay. They asked for birthdays, so oh well, I'm not complaining. He loves going swimming!
Rick's mom found this slip'n slide in her shed and gave it to us. Owen loved playing on it! Sadly he only got one use out of it before it burst.
He looks so big here! I can't believe it!
Sadie wasn't interested till later, after I put the camera away. She didn't last long though. She slipped, got wet and didn't like it.
This is the corn as of 6/25/2012. You can see the peas on the right and behind Owen's head and a squash plant in the bottom right corner.
Here there is squash, a couple tomatoes, peas, onions, garlic and I think there might be a pepper in there too that I forgot about. Everything's small so it's hard to see in the picture.
|This is our neighbors pear tree which we benefit from. They don't ripen till fall but they are delicious. It also provides great shade in the evening.|
|Blackberries, raspberries and tomatoes |
along the fence and carrots, cantaloupe,and a cucumber.
After playing outside on the slip n slide I don't know what went through Owen's mind but after a while I realized I didn't know where he was. I went looking and looked in his closet. This is what I saw first...
Then I looked a little closer...
and I found him! I don't know if he was playing and fell asleep or if he meant to fall asleep there but it was a good hiding spot.

This is day 42, as of 2 weeks ago I've been cutting back the light cycle down .5 hrs a day from 18/6 until now where we're at..11/13 for the rest of the grow.
Today's the 1st day of getting a soil drench of compost tea. The schedule I'll be using from now on will be a 'feed, feed, water..feed, feed, tea'..
Also for the past few weeks I've been foliar feeding with Nectar's Bloom Chaos/ Poseidonzyme. Using it in past grows have seemed to really ignite the bud sites early on.
The male on the right is shooting out more balls than a pool hall tournament. This plant is getting moved to another location. Hopefully I can capture and store some viable pollen.
The girls are starting to go through that transitional puberty..heh
By this weekend they should be bleeding out pistils.
enjoy the rest of the week all..

Answer: No, it is not warm enough (by a long shot) to plant Clivia outside. Your zip code places you in USDA winter hardiness zone 6. Clivia miniata is only hardy to zone 9. (Think Florida and southern California.) Congratulations on keeping your plants going for so many years!
Q&A Library Searching Tips


When I was a little girl I used to despise garlic with a passion. I would sit at the dinner table and patiently pick out every single little piece of garlic, and if I missed one and bit into it, my blood would boil. It just tasted so digusting to me! Well now that I’m much older, I’ve started relishing foods that I hated as a child, including rice, fish, green onions and even ginger! We use garlic a lot in our cooking now and it’s such a versatile ingredient in that depending on how you cook the garlic and when you add it to the pot, it can give you a whole range of different flavours.
Well we decided that we wanted to grow our own garlic instead of having to buy them from the grocery stores, which are all imported from far away places. From what we have read on different websites, garlic is supposed to be quite easy to plant and grow, so why grocery stores need to import them from half way across the globe is beyond me. Anyways we ordered two varieties of garlic from Annapolis Seeds, the Spanish Roja and the Susan Delafield, and we’re going to have to wait 8-9 months just to get a taste of them…if they turn out!
This is the Spanish Roja. It’s a medium sized garlic with red streaks. It’s supposed to be strong and pungent, productive and reliable, with 6-8 cloves per bulb.
We carefully separated the cloves, making sure the basal plate wasn’t still attached to the cloves.
And this is the Susan Delafield. It’s a large sized garlic with fewer but big cloves. It’s also supposed to be more tolerant to wet soil, which is a good thing for us with our rainy Autumn and Spring and our clay soil.
Hopefully this patch of ground will provide us with lots of delicious garlic next summer! Anything worth having is worth waiting for, and we thank God for life and growth and yummy food!

Garden 2016 Update 4
Thursday, before I walked the dog and before I went to the demonstration, I got the rest of my tomatoes in the ground! I ordered some sauce varieties from Burpee and they will go nicely with the fancy varieties I bought in town. I think I'm going to put two more plants where the two sad, dead celery roots were planted - but I think I'm going to replace them with pepper plants.
I have some real neato varieties of peppers, but a couple of just plain green sweet pepper won't hurt a bit.
Now, it is pouring rain and my plants are just splashing around like baby ducks. I just noticed the really odd noise I was hearing was really hard rain. Really hard rain. I'm not hoping that maybe my plants are like baby ducks wearing hard hats.
Its raining very hard and disrupting my show. So not al right! Deep Breaths. Instead of images of frozen satellite images, I need to concentrate on this image


Farmers demand genomic overhaul
Published 27/05/2015 | 02:30
Pressure is mounting on the Minister for Agriculture, Simon Coveney, to agree major changes to the Beef Data Geonomics Programme (BDGP).
The current scheme proposals have met with widespread opposition from farmers at public meetings held over the last 10 days.
The IFA upped the pressure on Minister Coveney yesterday with its president, Eddie Downey, seeking an urgent meeting with the Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture to address farmer concerns.
Opposition to the €52m programme centre on the requirement that farmers sign up for the full six-year timeframe of the initiative, as well as the possible clawback of payments to those who leave the programme or do not comply with guidelines.
"The IFA has also raised issues on the 2014 reference year, the replacement requirement, the level of genotyping, stocking rate and penalties. We are requesting the Oireachtas Committee to arrange a meeting this week to discuss these issues," Mr Downey said.
He pointed out that thousands of farmers had attended meetings across the country in the last week with Oireachtas members, and it was very clear there was a lot of unrest and confusion on many aspects of the scheme.
However, Mr Downey accepted that the BDGP was an important initiative that would help suckler farmers remain viable.
More than 700 farmers expressed "disappointment" with the scheme at an IFA meeting in Co Galway and a turnout in excess of 500 farmers in Co Roscommon also gave the programme the thumbs down.
Meanwhile, at an ICSA meeting at Athlone on Friday night last, politicians in the region were unhappy with the requirements of the programme.
Department of Agriculture officials were strongly criticised at information meetings in Tuam, Kilkenny and Enniscorthy recently, while there has been calls for a campaign to lobby rural TDs on the issue.
Last week Minister Coveney moved to allay some of the fears expressed over penalties with a range of clarifications.
He pointed out that there was no question of payments being clawed back for "minor non-compliances."
The minster said full clawback would only apply where an individual withdrew from the scheme or was disqualified.
However, ICSA president Patrick Kent said the organisation could not accept a situation where farmers that withdrew from the scheme would have to repay all BDGP monies received. He said farmers should only be penalised for deliberate omissions or breaches of the scheme rules.
He also claimed the requirement for 50pc of the herd to be four or five-star on the replacement index was unwarranted.

February can be a tough month for our lawns and landscaping, given the regularity of freezing temperatures and unpredictable weather. Manually adjusting your sprinkler system’s controller is a pain, which is why having a Rain / Freeze sensor or Smart Controller installed can not only save you time and headache but also greatly improve your landscape’s chances of surviving rough weather patches.
Rain / Freeze sensors are an add-on component that works with most modern controllers. These sensors are typically installed on a gutter or fence and monitor both temperature and rain fall to ensure your system isn’t running when conditions aren’t favorable. This safeguard not only conserves water by skipping a scheduled sprinkler cycle when it’s raining, but the temperature sensor also prevents the system from watering when temperatures approach freezing.
Sprinkler System Smart Controllers and Rain/Freeze Sensors
Smart Controllers replace both standard controllers and the need for a Rain / Freeze sensors due to their ‘smart’ ability to monitor local weather station data via Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing the controller to adjust watering in more advanced ways. These advanced features take into account forecasted weather conditions such as freezing temperatures, rain, or wind, and adjust watering schedules accordingly. Smart Controllers are also app-based, which provides a whole new level of accessibility and control from your cell phone.
Many local city governments require either a Rain / Freeze sensor or Smart Controller, especially in Southern climates where water conservation during drought conditions is monitored and enforced. Make the smart choice and call Andy’s Sprinkler, Drainage and Lighting and ask us about Rain Freeze Sensors and Smart Controllers.


Union ministers hit out at Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik over farmers' issues
The union ministers, speaking before the Prime Minister rejected ruling Biju Janata Dal's (BJD) allegation of negligence by the Centre though Modi chose to skip the issue while addressing a farmers rally in this drought-hit zone of western Odisha.
"While the previous UPA government had sanctioned only Rs 332 crore for the droughts in 2003 and 2009, the Narendra Modi government has given Rs 815 crore for the one in 2015," Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said.
Stating that the state government has not been able to spend Rs 4 crore sanctioned to it for issuance of soil health cards to farmers, Singh said the government should be pro-farmers and help them to boost food grain production.
He also rejected BJD's allegation of central negligence and said the NDA government has given Rs 34,000 crore to the state as central share in 2015-16 compared to Rs 15,000 crore during the UPA government in 2013-14.
Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also asked BJD to shun its slogans of central negligence as people would "laugh at them."
Instead of stressing on distress sale of paddy and other problems faced by farmers, the state government keeps itself busy in centre bashing, he alleged.
Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram said both Patnaik and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi have no knowledge and sympathy towards the farmers.
"...The Prime Minister knows what is what in agriculture sector from his personal experience," he said.
BJP state president Basanta Kumar Panda also criticised Patnaik and accused him of being "anti-farmer."
Though the Chief Minister had been in charge of water resources department for the past 16 years, there had been no improvement in the irrigation sector and water resources department, he said.
Senior MLA and former BJP president K V Singhdeo while criticising Patnaik said, "It is not central negligence, but the negligence of the Chief Minister for which the farmers in Odisha suffer."

'PM KISAN scheme to benefit just 38% farmers till polls conclude'text_fields
New Delhi: The ambitious PM-KISAN scheme that aims to provide Rs 6,000 annually to small and marginal farmers will reach only 38 per cent of the intended beneficiaries by the end of ongoing Lok sabha polls, thanks to tardy furnishing of information by the states, lack of digitised land records and the election Model Code of Conduct being in force, according to government officials involved in its implementation.
The scheme, announced in the interim budget on February 1 with retrospective effect from December 2018, was seen as Narendra Modi government's major poll plank to address rural distress..
Under the scheme, direct income support of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal installments is to be provided to about 12.5 crore small and marginal farmers with land holdings below two hectares or five acres.
The officials cited delays in sharing of required information and its verification by the states and unavailability of digitised land records as major reasons for the scheme not reaching all the intended beneficiaries.
So far, close to 3.5 crore (28 per cent) of the country's farmers have been given Rs 2,000 as the first instalment through the direct benefit transfer under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM KISAN), with Uttar Pradesh alone crossing the one crore mark.
Barring Arunachal Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Lakshawdeep, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Rajasthan, Sikkim and West Bengal, all the other 22 states and 5 union territories have either sent the names of the beneficiaries to the central government or are in process of doing so.
Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand are among the states where the number of beneficiaries has touched the six-digit mark and yet, the majority of eligible farmers are still far from reaping the benefits of the scheme.
Thus, a maximum of 4.76 crore (38 per cent) farmers will be able to get the second installment as the Agriculture Ministry has decided to process only those enrollments that happened till March 10, When the Model Code of Conduct came into effect with the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections, an official close to the development said.
"We are going to verify the names enrolled till March 10. So there are 4.76 crore beneficiaries who are eligible will get the second installment," said an official.
The second installment of Rs 2,000 is supposed to help farmers in procuring inputs such as seeds, fertilisers and pesticides, among others.
The scheme is designed on the lines of Odisha government's KALIA and Telangana government's Rythu Bandhu schemes, under which farmers are assured of financial support of Rs 10,000 and Rs 8,000 per annum, respectively.
The central scheme, which was seen as a gamechanger ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, seems to have lost steam after the Congress announced its 'Nyay' scheme to give Rs 6,000 monthly to the bottom 20 per cent population of around five crore families.
The ruling BJP has promised extension of the PM KIASAN scheme to all farmers in the country if it is returned to power again after the Lok Sabha elections. The results of the seven-phased polls will be announed on May 23


Krone was founded in Spelle, Germany, in 1906 with the intention of making farming more efficient and profitable. Following many years of growth and expansion, Krone North America was established in 1973 and continues to further that vision by supplying innovative, performance-engineered equipment that has become the benchmark in the hay and forage industry.
Krone is still owned and operated by the Krone family, and visionary leader Bernard Krone has hands-on involvement in company operations. As a result, each and every machine bearing the Krone name is engineered to meet the same time-tested, exacting standards that have earned Krone a worldwide reputation for quality.
Because hay and forage equipment is all we do—not an afterthought—we understand our customers. We know that they understand their business better than anyone. So, when we set out to design equipment that meets the unique needs of our customers better than any other company in the industry, we start by asking them what they need. As a privately held company, we can do that because we don’t answer to shareholders—we answer to our customers.
Customer input and feedback drives everything we do. Our engineers spend time in the field with our customers so they can incorporate their feedback into innovative machines that improve their efficiency in the field. We back that equipment with a responsive support system staffed with people who know our products and understand that time is money for the hay and forage producer.

Marigold prices to see rise this TiharThe price of local marigold is expected to increase this festive season as most marigolds have already blossomed in the fields, days ahead of the festival. This will consequently affect the supply in the market, say florists. The rise in prices can also be attributed to the festival taking place a little late this year, as the festival got pushed back because of the occurrence of an intercalary month in the lunar calendar.
The price of local marigold is expected to increase this festive season as most marigolds have already blossomed in the fields, days ahead of the festival. This will consequently affect the supply in the market, say florists. The rise in prices can also be attributed to the festival taking place a little late this year, as the festival got pushed back because of the occurrence of an intercalary month in the lunar calendar.
During the festival, doors and windows are decorated with long strings of flowers sewn together, particularly marigolds. The festival of flowers and lights begins from November 6.
The wholesale price of a metre of marigold garland is expected to cost Rs60 to Rs100, depending on the quality, according to florists. The wholesale rate was Rs55 to Rs100 last Tihar. Traditionally, 40 flowers are sewn together in a garland.
Kumar Kasaju Shrestha, president of Floriculture Association Nepal (FAN), said that the price has increased due to rise in production and transportation costs. The flower garland business was worth Rs75 million last Tihar, and FAN expects business to hover at Rs110 million this Tihar.
According to Shrestha, there is a demand of 2.2 million flowers across the country for Tihar. In that, the demand for 1.9 million flowers are fulfilled through domestic production, while the remaining is met by import from India.
FAN said that the wholesale price of Makhmali garland will cost Rs40 to Rs50 per garland this year. There is no such huge fluctuation in Makhmali flower price due to sufficient domestic production, he said. “We are self-reliant in Makhmali flower production.”
Speaking at a press conference organised by FAN on Monday, Shrestha said that the overall flower business is growing by 10 to 15 percent annually.
FAN is scheduled to organise the 12th Competitive Exhibition of Marigold from November 1 at Jawalakhel football ground. The four-day exhibition is being carried out with an objective to commercially develop, expand and promote marigold and to encourage flower entrepreneurs to step into commercial production. There will be 48 stalls with 44 commercial stalls at the expo.
In the country, the marigold flower is being produced in districts like Chitwan, Dhading, Parsa, Jhapa and Sunsari.
The country exported 150,000 marigold garlands in countries like Canada, Australia, and Japan last Tihar where Nepalis are residing.
The country will be exporting 200,000 marigold garlands this Tihar, the association said.
Flower cultivation covers around 155 hectares and 43,500 people are directly and indirectly engage in the business, the association said. The annual business of flowers is more than Rs1.83 billion in the country. Similarly, the country imported flower worth Rs110 million and exported of Rs23.7 million in the last fiscal year.

Crones Cradle spring seedling festival March 22
Crones Cradle Conserve is hosting their annual spring seedling festival on Saturday, March 22. The festival includes workshops on organic gardening, pond-making, wild edibles, as well as music, basketweaving demonstrations, and a wide selection of spring vegetable, flower and herb seedlings, whether you want to start a whole garden or just grow a couple of things in pots. There will also be food, prizes, and much more. The rain date is Sunday, March 23.
Crones Cradle Conserve is a 722 acre privately-owned ecological preserve and education center located in Marion County, thirty-five miles southeast of Gainesville near Citra. Its primary objectives are to promote environmental awareness, activism and earth stewardship through an ever-evolving mixture of workshops and events designed for the general public but with an emphasis on its own local community. Sustainability, whether it be agricultural, urban, or cultural, is the underlying theme of all the Conserve's endeavors.
As part of its educational and community projects in sustainable living, CCC inaugurated a subscription garden service in the spring of '96 which currently serves families in Gainesville, Ocala, Hawthorne and Micanopy with weekly bundles of fresh organic produce. Susan and Pat Ross, the Farm's gardeners, emphasize that this project, above all else, symbolized the true spirit of Crone's Cradle Conserve. "Providing food for ourselves and our community--in many ways that's what it's really all about."
The Spring Seedling Festival is just one of many activities held year-round at the Conserve. They hold intensive day-long workshops in organic gardening, writing and self-publishing, wildcrafting herbals, traditional crafts such as quilting and canning, as well as outreach events including evening performances of traditional African-American storytelling, the Marion County Earth Day celebration, and sponsorship of the only herbal apprenticeship program in the region.
The Conserve seeks to retain in its natural state as much of the flora and fauna within its own confines as possible. Less than 100 acres is used for human ends. Having launched ecological restoration projects in the xeric, upland pine and marshes, the Conserve is more in the business of protecting and appreciating the earth than any of its "people-related" ventures. This approach, CCC emphasizes, is the only approach toward sustainability, both for humans and the planet.

Finding a Gardener in Grain: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Grain is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "fella down the road" or an established local Grain gardener? The chances are that "fellow down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. The decision as they say is yours.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Grain area who can be trusted. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. Typical jobs that Grain people need doing in their gardens include: mowing lawns, general cleaning, trimming hedges and weeding. Most professional Grain gardeners will also help with cleaning driveways, waste removal, garden fencing and decking installation.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Grain gardener would do this. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like hard landscaping are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
Garden Design Grain
If your plan is to not just have your garden tidied up but also to have it completely re-designed, you may need someone other than a standard gardener. Quite a few gardeners have expertise in this area of gardening, while the rest stick to the more mundane tasks. Discuss this with your gardener and see how they feel about it. It could be that in the end you need to contact an expert.
Tree Surgery Grain
When required, some gardeners in Grain will be quite willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the majority of them will have a rudimentary knowledge of shrubs and trees. While for any major work it is advisable to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon, for minor pruning and trimming, your neighbourhood Grain gardener should have all the vital skills.
It isn't out of the ordinary for trees to become overgrown, causing a real danger to utility lines or even your home. You should keep a watchful eye on any trees on your land, seeing as their roots can also do harm to building footings, pathways, sewage lines and driveways. If you suspect that these or other problems are being caused by any of the trees on your property in Grain, speak to your gardener first for advice.
Some Grain gardeners will also help with garden levelling in Grain, raised bed installation Grain, jet washing, garden fencing, pest control, fence maintenance, garden planters, pond maintenance, gravel laying Grain, raised planters, soft landscaping, water features, decking installation, garden tidying, pressure washing in Grain, tree planting in Grain, rotovating, power washing, commercial garden maintenance, holiday watering, artificial turf Grain, plant sourcing Grain, shed replacement, path cleaning, irrigation, decorative stones, hedge trimming, lawn turfing, tree surgery, garden electrics, wildlife gardens Grain, weed control, disease identification, fencing repairs, garden trellis Grain and other gardening projects in Grain, Kent.
