Lettuce Lolita Coral Red 50 Seeds
Lettuce Lolita Coral Red is a dark Lolla Rossa type, with heavily frilled intense burgundy leaves, 13-18cm circular mound, more compact and slower growing than other lolla rossa types, making them even better. Excellent for adding texture and colour to a salad mix.
Lettuce offer a range of shapes, sizes and colours but they are all easy to grow. Choose a variety marked on the seed packet as suitable for the time of year as some do badly in the very hot months. Try to provide some shade to prevent them 'bolting' to flower and seed in the hottest months.
Sow in rows and use thinnings as small salad greens
Lettuce are shallow rooted so water daily in hot or dry weather to prevent bitter flavour. and bolting.

Welcome to the Pretoria Road allotments website. The members are a diverse community of allotment holders and growers in Patchway, but they all have one thing in common - they love to grow their own produce. The allotments have been around since 1947 and, although there's no-one still here who can remember those first years, some allotment holders have been tending their plots for over 20 years. The aim of this website is to keep all the members up to date with news from the committee as well as items of interest from other members. If you have something that you would like to tell everyone else about then get in touch - you can email the committee direct - firstname.lastname@example.org. This site is owned and operated independently for the benefit of all members.

Q.lobelia flower in a hanging basket
I have a deep purple lobelia plant in a hanging basket. 3//4 of it looks great, the other 1/4 or more is dead. I clipped off most of the dead stems but don’t know what to do from here. Will it come back now that it seems to have a little more light on the soil?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Yes, it should be fine. The dead growth may have been from a lack of water since it's in a hanging basket. These require much more watering than your average potted plants or those in the ground as they are more prone to drying out. Just make sure to keep it well watered every day and twice daily in temps over 85 F.

Hubballi: The chances of rain in the North Karnataka region are very low for the next two days. However, cloudy weather will continue, and a few isolated places can get scattered rain, said Agromet Department head Dr. RH Patil.
He said the IMD has issued a rain forecast for the second fortnight of August and September and it says major parts of South India are likely to receive above normal rainfall in this period. He said the north interior of Karnataka is expected to receive above normal rainfall, whereas Malenadu and coastal Karnataka will probably receive below normal rainfall.
The rain has receded in the Dharwad district, but the continuous downpour that lashed the district has damaged the crop. Harvesting of green gram using machinery can be continued, and steps should be taken to protect it from drizzling. Dr. Patil added that weeding and fertilising can be done in the fields of maize, cotton, chilli, onion, and other kharif crops.

Chickens naturally slow their egg production in the winter. Many folks follow that up by mistakenly believing it has something to do with cold temperatures. In reality, it's the shortened daylight that causes chickens to lay less frequently.
Our weather right now is good proof of this. Our mid-October days are shortening even though our temperatures have remained relatively warm. Still our gals are pretending it's time to buckle down for winter and turn off their laying machines. Egg production has dropped off tremendously. I decided it was time to put a low-wattage bulb in the hen house.
This allows us to extend their light exposure, fooling them into believing the days are longer than they actually are. When it actually gets cooler, I can switch the bulb out for a higher wattage to keep the gals warm throughout the winter.

The MF 1840 small rectangular baler employs a ‘centre-line’ design in which the crop flows through the machine in a straight line – working like a mini large square baler, improving efficiency because the crop is not turned before entering the chamber. Key features are retained from its predecessor , such as narrow transport width, 1.9m wide pick-up with standard gauge wheels, short stroke and high speed
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Inline Design
- Superior Feeding
- Crop Flow
- Knotter Design
- Twine Storage
- OpiForm™ Bale Chamber
- Bale Density Control
- System Control
- Density Control Ram
Easy on the road, easy in the field. You’ll notice the first advantage before reaching the field. Even though the MF 1840 features a wide pick-up, transport width is exceptionally narrow because of the in-line design allowing easy access to narrow lanes and awkward gateways.
And when you get to the field, there is no need to manhandle the baler from a ‘transport’ position to a ‘work’ position – you just lower the pick-up and start baling.
The 1.9 metre wide pick-up features a small diameter, ‘low-profile’ design with closely spaced tines ensuring that windrows are picked up cleanly with minimal disturbance and leaf loss. Gauge wheels, fitted as standard to either side, further help the pick-up to follow uneven ground contours, avoiding pick-up tine damage.
The crop is delivered into the pre-compression chamber where the flake is pre-formed before entering the main chamber. This ensures a well-shaped bale is formed improving bale density and reducing stress on components giving improved baler durability.
With a short stroke and high speed plunger, the pre-formed slice concept enables the baler to operate with high capacity, significantly reducing plunger bearing wear whilst generating a greater number of bales.
The Hesston design of knotters are built to operate reliably season after season, with minimum fuss or maintenance. Their rugged design guarantees excellent reliability bale after bale, whether using high quality twine. An electric knotter fan is fitted as standard to the MF 1840 and ensures the knotter are kept clean and free from any debris build up during operation.
The MF 1840 carries 10 balls of twine which is enough for the longest days work. The large dimension of each compartment allow ‘super large’ size twine spools to be used, enabling even more twine to be carried and therefore more bales produced per twine fill-up.


In the red river valley most use variable rate for ferts and seeding, auto steer, precision planter/seeder tech., wider suspension boom sprayers (get rid of extra tire tracks), and everything else. Crop prices have dropped a lot here so payback's are elongated for those adapting late. I'd be more concerned about your roi on the farm as opposed to trying to keep up with the jones's. Every farm is different too. Best investment for me has been GPS, looking for other things to add as well. I'm a small weekend farmer, so can't buy everything while keeping a tolerable risk level.


The first thing you need to look at is the size of your garden. This is going to determine how much power you need for your rototiller. If your garden is less than 1,500 square feet, a mini-tiller should perform the job perfectly.
If your garden is in between 1,500 and 5,000 square feet, you should look for a 5 to 6 horsepower tiller. For gardens that are larger than 5,000 square feet, the engine should be at least 6 horsepower.
2. Type of Soil
Another consideration is the type of soil you have. Very dense or rocky soil can be difficult for smaller rototillers. If the rototiller isn’t strong enough to break through, it will just skip over it.
Look at your garden soil, and consider moving up to a stronger horsepower tiller if this is your soil type.
3. Types of Tines
What is a tine?
It is the blade that churns through the soil. The tines are going to get the soil all ready for you to plant your garden. They are one of the most important parts of the rototiller.
An ideal rototiller tines will be made from heavy duty steel with different cutting surfaces, so it can cut through a variety of weeds and roots. There are a few variations.
Counter-Rotating Tines: These move in the opposite direction of the rototiller. They dig in the deepest and are ideal for breaking new ground or working through tough, clay soil.
Forward-Rotating Tines: Just as the name suggestions, these tines more in a forward direction just like the tiller. They are typically found on front-tine tillers.
There are three types of blades that come with rototillers: Bolo, for deep tilling, Slasher, for thicker weeds and roots, and a pick and chisel, for rocky ground.
4. Consider the Project
When you make the selection, think about the project you are going to use it for. Are you going to break new ground for a large, brand new garden?
Or, are you primarily going to be using it for existing garden areas? This is going to determine the amount of power you need in your rototiller.
5. Tiller Depth
The most ideal garden tiller will have an adjustable depth and width. For breaking new ground, you want a tiller that can reach 8 to 10 inches.
This is especially important if you want to plant root vegetables, such as carrots and turnips. Make sure to check this before purchase.
Do you need a rototiller that’s quiet and yet still does the job? The American brand Earthwise has the perfect electric, zero-emission rototiller and cultivator for you, the 13.5 Amp Earthwise TC70016.

Storing this 27-pound rototiller won’t be a problem at all. Its handle can be folded so you can easily store it.
Plus, with its 3-position wheel adjustment, you can easily transport it when storing or maneuver around obstacles when in use.
Starts Up with just a Push of a Button
As it is electrically powered, it starts up easily every time with just a push of a button. Although it can be a bit loud, at least you won’t have to deal with smoke, harmful emissions, and even costly maintenance
Yes, you read that right. We have another Sun Joe rototiller and cultivator in this list. Although this model is a lot similar to the Sun Joe TJ604E, they still have some huge differences.
Just like the previous model, the Sun Joe TJ603E electric tiller and cultivator has 6 steel angled tines designed for maximum durability and performance.
It also has an adjustable clearing width that reaches up to 16 inches and can till up to 8 inches deep. Unlike TJ604E, the TJ603E model only has 12 amp motor and 340 RPM making it suitable for small to medium-sized gardens only.
Complete Tasks with more Comfort
This rototiller promises to be able to control weed and complete garden tasks easier and with more comfort.
To help achieve this, this model has a 3-position wheel adjustment that makes it easier to maneuver the rototiller around even when in use.
In addition to that, it only weighs 27 pounds making it easy to transport and its foldable handle also makes it easy to store.
Starts Effortlessly and Easy to Maintain
Although electric, corded rototillers have their limitations, a few others enjoy using them because they are easy to maintain and start effortlessly every single time.
Aside from not having to mix oil and gasoline, these rototillers are also a lot quieter than the gas-powered ones.
Comfortable to use
3-position wheel adjustment for easier transport
12 amp motor
16 inches clearing width and 8 inches depth
Not suitable for bigger areas
Difficult to use in tight spaces
Takes quite a bit of guidance for you to keep it on track

Push-button electric start
Ergonomic and foldable tubular handle
Does not work on all soil types, especially rock hard dirt.
Husqvarna created the heavy-duty rear-tine rototiller that those with large gardens are going to want. It is a professional grade rototiller, with counter-rotating tines.
The speed of the tines is high, making even the toughest job easier.
The engine in this Husqvarna is tough. It is a 4-cycle engine and doesn’t review the mixing of oil and gasoline. It is a workhorse, built by Briggs and Stratton. The quality here is impeccable.
This is the rototiller you need if you want to break new ground. You can work for hours with this tiller, and it would never stop working.
You aren’t going to encounter much that this rototiller can’t handle. It will churn through roots and rocks like it is nothing. However, it can be a bit difficult to get into gear at times. With some practice, you will start it easily.
There is a rear tilling plow to help level out the soil as you till it up. It can also go in reverse, which kicks out any dirt that may clog up the machine.
If you are looking for a mini rototiller, the Mantis tiller has a strong, Honda engine, able to power through most soil conditions.
It is designed with comfort in mind. The Earthquake tiller is small, but strong.
The Viper engine is perfect for tilling up your raised beds, and it has the ability to maneuver wherever you need it to be.

Husqvarna has created two powerhorse rototillers. Both the FT900 and CRT900L have powerful engines built by Briggs and Stratton.
The Husqvarna CRT900L should be your choice if you want to break new ground, especially for a large square foot garden.
All of these rototillers are different in their own ways, but they all have their top quality in common. Is there a rototiller we missed that deserves recognition? We would love to hear about it in the comments!

No matter how big or small space you must work with, there’s always room for a bulb or two! Planted in pots, bulbs can make all the difference to your spring patio and there is a clever way of creating the most colourful, interesting displays – ‘Lasagne Planting’.
‘Lasagne’ planting is the term used when planting bulbs in layers, just like you would with pasta in the kitchen! Lasagne planting is perfect for creating really dense, vivid displays with lots of contrasting and complementary colours. Not only that, but by combining the bulbs, you will not only get different shapes, sizes and colours but lots of different flowering times too. You will be able to prolong the flowering period and reward yourself next year with blooms lasting for months. You could plant some daffodils to spring up in March, and some Tulips that will flower later in April and May.
The basic principle of layering bulbs up like a lasagne is just as you would expect. Plant the largest and longest flowering bulbs at the bottom, with the smallest and shortest flowering varieties at the top.
To start, cover the base of the pot with some gravel and a thick layer of compost. Then plant the first layer of bulbs. Cover the first layer with compost, then repeat the process. Repeat this 2-3 times for a lasagne that won’t taste good, but sure will look good.
YouGarden’s Top Tips For Buying Bulbs
- Get ahead! Buy your bulbs as soon as possible so they haven’t been sat around drying out for too long. You want the newest and freshest bulbs you can get! Click Here to see our range of bulbs.
- Check the bulbs are smooth and firm, not soft and squishy and make sure there is no obvious damage to the bulbs – especially on the flat base where the roots are. This will guarantee top quality results.
- As you may expect, bigger bulbs produce more flowers so buy the biggest bulbs you can. Keep an eye out for the sizing in the ‘Product Information’.

On Thursday and Friday, November 14-15, 2019, University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering (UL FGG) hosted experts from Akershus in Oslo Jordskifterett, Norway. The so-called Land Consolidation court has an important role in the field of land management and land administration in Norway – interdisciplinary expert team coming from the fields of land management and land administration, geodesy and land surveying, law, land valuation, spatial planning, agriculture and forestry, etc.
On Thursday, November 14, guests from Norway visited UL FGG and the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (SMA). A short lecture on the Land administration system in Slovenia was given by prof. Anka Lisec, followed by the presentation of Norwegian Jordskifterett, which was given by the head of the Akershus in Oslo Jordskifterett, Dr. Øystein Jakob Bjerva. Within the SMA visit, the Director of the Slovenian SMA, Tomaž Petek, presented the organisation and current projects of the Slovenian public surveying service, while Franc Ravnihar with his team presented the system of land cadastre in Slovenia. A special lecture was dedicated to projects of the agricultural land consolidation, which was provided by Tomaž Primožič from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food of the Republic of Slovenia.
The Friday’s programme was dedicated to a field trip, where experts from Norway joined the students of master study programme Geodesy and Geoinformatics at UL FGG. Within the visit of the company Geodetski zavod Celje d.o.o., the director of the company, Dominik Bovha, with his colleagues presented experiences in the field of agricultural and building land consolidation/readjustments, with a short introduction to the afternoon visit of the Hajdina land consolidation area. At the municipality of Hajdina, the projects with the focus on land management were presented. Guided by the experts who coordinated the selected land consolidation project, Emil Ratek and Jernej Jurak, we have visited the Hajdina land consolidation area.
A special thanks go to all who contributed to the programme and the organisation of a professional visit!
Finally, we should highlight that the cooperation between the UL FGG and the experts from Norway is partly the result of bilateral projects financed by the EEA and Norway Grants in the past.

There’s something satisfying about being able to say, I’m a farmer — I get up at dawn to milk the cows and eat the fruits of my own labor.
For city folks who feel encumbered by their surrounding urban sprawl, we have just the thing: A new project called MyFarm allows people from around the world to get experience running a farm, without getting their hands dirty. The project is an online experiment, created by Jon Alexander, that allows 10,000 people to make the pivotal decisions that run a real-life farm, which is physically located on the Wimpole Estate in England. The project launched in May, 2011.
MyFarm farmers subscribe to the site for the price of 30 Euro, and then become active voting members of the community. Upon joining, you automatically get a free visit to the farm, and the founders are currently brainstorming more benefits for MyFarm members.
MyFarm members come together on the website to discuss and make decisions on important farming issues including the kinds of crops they grow and the breeds of animals they stock. Every month, the creators open two questions to the community for debate and discussion. Then the community has a chance to vote.
Jeannette Heard, spokesperson for MyFarm said, “Jon Alexander wanted to find a way of engaging the masses with a real, working farm to better understand where their food comes from and everyday farming life.”
Heard tried to pin down the most rewarding part of the project. “I think it’s the feeling of being involved in something real and unpredictable as proven by the sad death of Queenie’s foal this week. By signing up and therefore having the ability to vote, you do feel you can make a difference and having some say on a real farm, when you’re never going to be able to own your own – is a great feeling,” she said.
So how do people who know nothing about farming make informed decisions that will impact the lives of real animals and plants? They discuss, debate, and research. “The idea is that as their knowledge improves, they will appreciate all the different things farmers need to consider when making a seemingly simple decision. Richard, the Farm Manager then implements the majority decision on farm,” said Heard.
People of all ages are signing up for the MyFarm project. Teachers are even using it in their classrooms as a teaching aid. Heard says the experience has been educational for her as well. “It’s a reality check – understanding where your food comes from gives you a better appreciation of what you eat everyday. I’ve already found that I’m more interested in hearing about anything affecting farming, food prices, the weather etc. and think much more about what I buy when I shop for food,” she said.

Sorry for the late update. We always want to make a good decision whether to open so that you have plenty to pick.
On that note----Still plenty of strawberries out there so come on out. We will open from 9am to noon Thursday for strawberry U-pick. The June-bearers will really like the warmer temps. Nothing but better days now for the strawberries with some decent weather. June will be June but the strawberries will be strawberries and keep ripening like summer has arrived!
A Friday opening is likely but will depend on what the patch looks like after tomorrow's pick. So check back here as always.
Bring containers and cash.
No bathroom this week. Very sorry.


Chandigarh, October 17
Farm organisations in Ratia at present claimed to have intercepted 5 vans carrying rice from Bihar. They had been livid that these had been allowed to go by the authorities. Zila Parishad member RC Sehnal, claimed that millers had been bringing low cost rice from Bihar to be blended with custom-milled rice right here.
“At the moment, we acquired data that 5 vans loaded with rice had been parked close to a gasoline station. Our chief knowledgeable the officers involved. “The drivers admitted to transporting the rice from Bihar however had been let off,” Sehnal alleged. Livid, the farmers later held an illustration.
Ratia SDM Surender Beniwal stated the drivers carried legitimate papers. —TPR


In India, turmeric is used for a lot of things. But the most common use of turmeric (or haldi as it is called) is in cooking. It gives Indian food its delightful golden color. This is especially true in the case of Indian curries. It is also very good for maintaining proper digestion.
Buying ground turmeric can be tricky business; especially if one buys it in loose form (not commercially packaged). Truth be told, adulteration can also happen even in packaged products from unscrupulous companies. So we make our own haldi or turmeric powder.
The first step is to harvest the turmeric. It is akin to ginger as the turmeric forms under the soil with the roots -- its rhizomes. The rhizomes are harvested annually. This year we got good yield.
|Raw Turmeric (rhizomes)|
To be able to make our own turmeric powder, we needed to boil the raw turmeric. Although raw turmeric can be dried and powdered, the quality of the powder is not as good as when it has been boiled first.
We put the raw turmeric in a large copper pot and put it atop a large outdoor wood stove to boil a large batch at a time. The stove is actually a type of water heater... but it suited our purpose.
|Turmeric Being Boiled|

After all the big pieces had been cut (and the teeny ones left as they were as they will dry up just fine). The turmeric was then sun-dried.

After the turmeric is completely dry (and shrinks to about half the volume that it was), it will be powdered.

How to Plant
This Garden Merit Award-winning 'Golden Wedding' rose loves a fully sunny spot, so choose wisely. But you don't have to worry too much about the soil you plant it in – it just needs something moist and well-drained.
Into the Ground
You'll need some high-quality compost, a trowel and a watering can, as well as rose food or bonemeal for nutrients.
- Give the potted rose a good splash of water.
- Dig a hole roughly twice the size of the rootball and mix in compost and a handful of rose food.
- Position the unpotted rose so the bud union is about 2.5 cm below soil level. This will help with keeping it sturdy.
- Fill in the soil around the plant and firm it up.
- Water well and continue doing this regularly until it settles.
Into a Pot
You'll need compost, a trowel, some rose food and water. Make sure you also have a larger container and some soil.

SAO PAULO, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Cooxupé, the world's largest coffee co-op and Brazil's number one exporter, cut its projection for 2021 coffee exports to 4.8 million bags from 6.5 million bags previously, saying shipping bottlenecks and a smaller crop are reducing export volumes.
Cooxupé's president Carlos Augusto Rodrigues de Melo said the company was about to use for the first time an alternative to containerized shipping, using 1,000 kg bags to put the coffee in dry bulk vessels.
"We will ship more than 100,000 bags that way. It is an option to dodge high container price and the lack of containers in the market," Melo told Reuters.
Coffee, as well as cocoa, cotton and refined sugar, are usually shipped using containers. But shortages of that type of equipment, along with reduced space in container vessels, are leading to alternatives such as the use of bulk ships.
Melo said the co-op would likely make other shipments using the so-called 'big bags.'
Shipping hurdles, however, were not the only reason for smaller exports. The Cooxupé head said it was receiving around 2 million fewer bags of coffee from associated farmers due to a smaller crop.
Plus there are defaults. Many coffee farmers, in Brazil and abroad, are not complying with contracts to deliver coffee after prices jumped more than 60% this year. Melo did not comment on that, but Cooxupé was one of the companies in Brazil suffering from farmer defaulting.
The co-op now projects to move 5.8 million bags of coffee in 2021, considering deals for both domestic and export markets, from a previous estimate of 7.2 million bags.
Looking ahead to the 2022 crop, Melo said the flowering and the conversion to fruit was not ideal. Trees have suffered during this year's drought, which has hurt their capacity to develop berries.

Pumpkins. So I live in Lex and got a little raised garden. My little girl wants to grow pumpkins. Like big ones we can carve up at Halloween. We grew a lot of vined plants as a kid but I don’t remember pumpkins. What do you suggest? I’ve heard if they take off, they really take off! You can get seeds cheap on Amazon. Haven’t seen any for sale at Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc…that are already starting to grow.

After a year of growing grains, it became clear that I needed to create a more formal research strategy for my Small Scale Grain growing Experiments. I have carried out quite a bit of research, and have devised a plan that should enable me to do this more effectively.
It’s been a little while since my last post, and for most of that time I have been contemplating the detail of my vegetable/grain polyculture, how the crops will be rotated, and how I will incorporate compost, green manures, and intercrops into the system. I waited, in the hope that I could post the finished article, but have to admit, that I still have a bit of thinking to do.
The problem has been trying to get the PERFECT system, whereas I may have to compromise on perfection, and settle for just pretty good. It hasn’t helped that I’ve learnt more during the process, which has added some complexity.
What I hope to do is explain what I’m aiming for, why I’m doing it, and outline where I am now. What follows is for my larger vegetable growing area.
A short while ago, I posted about the books that I’ve read this year, Reading List, and I’ve written two posts about the direction that I’m taking to become more self reliant, here at the Sustainable Smallholding. Creating a Permanent Agriculture, and 2012 Plans, Experiments, and Direction, both look at where I’m heading.What I wanted to do was expand on the same theme, and add a bit more detail.
The catalyst for this post was the understanding of how much has changed this year. I’m moving away from no dig gardening, to digging, and double digging, once in a complete rotation. I am concentrating much more on ‘staple’ foods, and less on interesting, or unusual vegetables, and despite being passionate about trees, and Forest Gardening, I recently found myself wondering if perhaps I should have left a bit more room for growing grains.
I started planted a few of the potted trees back in September. These were mainly False Acacia, and Box Elder, grown from seed for the Coppice and Orchard. There are still a few of these to do, as I’ve been concentrating on the vegetable growing areas recently. That changed today, as I was told that the first batch of my fruit trees were due to arrive. These trees are cider apple trees, on M25 rootstocks. Sometimes the blog might make it seem that everything is always well planned, but these were an impulse purchase, sparked by my first proper attempt at cider making.


The head of the Corporation “CITIC Group” noted that in Belarus for his company created a very good business climate.
The Chinese Corporation “CITIC Group” is investing around half a billion dollars in new projects in Belarus, reports “Dialog. UA” with reference to nabata.
The Deputy Chairman of the Board, the President of the Corporation “CITIC Group” van csun after negotiations representatives of the company with President Alexander Lukashenko said reached agreements on creation in Belarus the production of special robots.
In addition, the Chinese side starts implementing projects in agriculture, agricultural and petrochemical industries.
In turn,the Minister of agriculture and food of Belarus Leonid Zayats reported that Chinese businessmen intend to invest in food production in the country another $1.2 billion.
“The Ministry has concluded with one of the largest companies of China’s intention to invest about $1 billion of investment in the economy of our country. Interested in Chinese it products manufactured by our state. They want in the framework of import substitution to obtain it from the territory, which believe,” – said Leonid Zayats.
It is also reported that another Chinese Corporation expressed the desire to invest in the construction of complexes for the production of milk in the Vitebsk region. The amount of the project is estimated at more than $200 million.
“The Chinese themselves have expressed a desire to invest,” – said Leonid Hare, adding that the food of Belarus is in great demand in China, his love for the high quality and naturalness.
We will remind, until recently on the Belarusian market dominated by the Russian Federation. Recently, however, relations between Russia and Belarus there is a significant cooling. Moscow is accelerating and exacerbating this crisis, constantly introducing in relation to the Belarusian side, the various restrictive measures.
As previously reported, the notorious Kremlin channel “NTV”dirty laughed at the Belarusian humanitarian aid, which Minsk had sent to residents of war-torn Donbas.

|I had this plant several years ago but it died after about 3 years. A couple of years ago a found some seed from the original plant and one of my seedlings started to bloom this year.|
Sep 12, 2015 8:26 PM CST
|I bought a 'Pink Swirl' on sale last fall and kept it in a container but it died over winter. It was "cold" for zone 7, and even though it never got below 5F, the roots froze in the container. |
I got another one from Santa Rosa this spring, and I was surprised to see it bloom this year, even during a very dry summer. It's planted in the ground now so the roots will be protected this winter.
Sep 14, 2015 9:21 PM CST
|I have had a Pink Swirl for 3 years now. I have had it in a pot until about a month ago when I planted it in a raised bed. It was a great bloomer in the spring and early summer until the temps rose. It would then look scraggly and would completely die back for a few months. In early spring it would send up new green shoots and bloom. I wasn't really expecting it to bounce back when planting it in the raised bed. It is so happy now! New green leaves and looks like a brand new plant!|

FARM BUREAU LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE IN THE NATION’S CAPITOL THIS WEEK FOR A SPECIAL FLY-IN TO URGE CONGRESS TO MOVE FORWARD...


Investment manager Partners Group has acquired a majority stake in Rovensa – a producer of crop nutrition, protection and biocontrol products – from private equity fund Bridgepoint for €1 billion.
Portugal-headquartered Rovensa's portfolio of agricultural products and technologies helps farmers to enhance crop yields and provide food security.
Founded in 1926, the company has three divisions: BioNutrition, which provides agricultural crops with nutrients for growth and healthy development; Crop Protection, which eliminates or prevents biological threats in crops; and BioControl, which offers products based on biological inputs, such as plant extracts and micro-organisms.
Rovensa’s products are sold in more than 70 countries and generate an annual revenue of approximately €360 million.
Partners Group will work closely with Rovensa's management team, led by chief executive officer Eric van Innis, on several strategic initiatives, including: the accelerated development of the company's leading biological solutions portfolio; the continued internationalization of the company; and further acquisitions to build the company’s capabilities.
Andrew Deakin, private equity directs Europe managing director at Partners Group, said: "Rovensa represents a great opportunity to support a resilient business in a market characterized by steady long-term growth. The company is ideally positioned to capitalize on the growing trend towards sustainable agricultural products, which will be a core element of the strategy we will continue to pursue. We were attracted to the company's reputation, talented management team and high-quality product portfolio and see compelling potential for accelerated growth."
Van Innis said: "We have benefitted greatly from Bridgepoint's ownership since 2017 and our recent growth trajectory reflects this. However, with a growing global population, ambitious environmental targets, and health concerns, the agricultural sector remains essential and we believe its strategic importance ensures there are further exciting growth opportunities ahead. We are convinced that Partners Group, with its global presence and focus on entrepreneurial ownership, is the right partner with which to continue building Rovensa's platform and seize those opportunities."
Héctor Pérez, partner responsible for Bridgepoint's investment activities in the Iberian region, said: "We are extremely pleased with the progress made by Rovensa since our acquisition in 2017. Today it leads the field globally in BioSolutions and its products have become a prominent component in sustainable agriculture. The business has made a significant leap forward both through continued organic development, fueled by its product innovation capabilities, and through the execution of six strategic add-on acquisitions. We have enjoyed an extremely productive relationship with a talented management team, led by Eric van Innis and Nuno Loureiro, and are confident of the continued growth of the business in its sector."
A Cuatrecasas team based in the firm’s Lisbon, Madrid and Valencia offices advised Partners Group on the deal. Partners Group was also advised by Ropes & Gray LLP.
The Cuatrecasas team was led by Lisbon office partner Mariana Norton dos Reis, and included associates Francisco Martins Caetano, João von Funcke and Ana Álvarez. The teal also included Duarte Abecasis and Maria José Guillém, as well as Manuel Requicha Ferreira and Agustí Cerdá.
The Ropes & Gray team was led by partners John Newton and Kiran Sharma from the firm’s London office. The team also included Andrew Howard, Amanda Raad, Paige Berges, Laura Kayani, Matthew Martindale, Hayley Stokes and Kwasi Yeboah.
Advisers to Bridgepoint were HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Uría Menéndez, McKinsey and PwC.
The Uría Menéndez team was led by Manuel Echenique and included Alex Bircham, Rachel Brown, Iñigo Navarrete and Alvaro Casacuberta.


I purchased some spring/summer flowering viola plug plants online, they arrived within 24 hours of being shipped but the leaves look this really strange tinge of black/purple, they were completely root bound. I think purple leaves are a sign of phosphorous deficiency? but I’m unsure about the black, the company said they are fine but I’m not so optimistic. I have repotted them but they just look terrible to me, I wouldn’t have chosen these from a garden centre so it’s disappointing to receive them from a company that sells plug plants, I doubt this would have developed in the 24 hours of being shipped, I also noticed some spots on the leaves.
Do you think they will survive? they do look quite stunted.


With a flavor like they’ve been dipped in honey, these big,
beautiful berries are our pick for plucking straight off the
plant. Strong, vigorous canes have minimal thorns and
produce hearty yields even in warmer climates. No. 1, 1-yr.

Myth 5: Broadcast Spinners Aren’t Reliable in Windy Conditions
The Truth on Spreading in Windy Conditions
Endless hours and effort go into each field to ensure its yield is maximized to its fullest potential. But your best made plans are rendered useless if you can’t execute them when and how you need to.
Application windows are shrinking every year. The agricultural industry is facing the challenge of doing more with less. While we all hope for ideal conditions, rarely do we get them. When windy conditions are present, you don’t have the luxury of waiting to apply products to the field. New Leader’s patented and unique spinner design prevents the lofting or dropping of nutrients and instead pierces the wind. This lets the distribution of product to be less affected by wind and more capable of achieving a precise and accurate spread pattern even in windy conditions.
Although conditions are constantly changing, and machine calibration should be performed, New Leader spreaders were designed to have one of the most accurate, precise, and effective spread patterns in the industry, even when the wind is blowing.

and welcome to the forum.
The causes of chlorosis ( loss of the green coloration of the leaves, caused by a lack of chlorophyll) usually fall into one of 5 categories: plant pests, diseases, nutritional deficiencies, light problems, and water problems.
Here is an article which should help you trouble-shoot. https://gardeningvibe.com/cucu...
While your problem may be any of the five, the increased heat and missing watering that day may have precipitated the problem. Cucumbers need stable moisture once they are producing. If it varies too much one way or another, that's when problems can start.
I suspect from your pictures that your cucumbers have Downy Mildew. Perhaps another member will concur or suggest something else. It's good to get a few opinions, since these problems are not always easy to trouble shoot.
Egg shells are not going to help at this point if you are trying to introduce calcium. It takes a long time for the calcium in egg shells to be available for plants. Egg shells are best crushed, ground as finely as possible, and placed in your compost pile where they will work their magic over time and the calcium will be available as you use your new compost.
If you suspect a nutritional deficiency, use something like Blue Planet Nutrients CalMag Pro Formula which will address several nutritional deficiencies at the same time. https://www.blueplanetnutrient...


Kevin has tilled up the first section of garden nearest to the house. The soil is loamy and rich; we're very excited by its apparent quality. We'll be making it even richer with compost and other organic materials soon (hopefully the neighboring cows won't mind if we clean up their pasture a little bit)! We hope to plant greens, squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, and peppers in these plots.
Here are a few pictures to show you our progress. We will attempt to take pictures from approximately the same places each time so that you can get a full view of the garden's progress.

Most of the Dekalb seed i've been around usually comes up pretty darned good, so that helps.
21k might be ok if you know it's going to come up, dusting in you might want to bump it up to 24k or 26k.
That said, replanting sucks and milo seed is at least a little cheaper than corn. So 26k to 30 isn't out of line for piece of mind dusting in.
Joel is pretty close to our thoughts on final stand. Would like to see a final of at least 18k, but could maybe live with 15k as long as most all rows have some plants. We seem to get a few rows with good pops, and a few rows with nothing when the stuff doesn't come up good.

Here are some pics of the work done so far:
|Our serviceberries were being attacked by ravenous mule deer, and so I hung a chunk of Irish Spring from a branch. No deer has come back since. Keeping fingers crossed!|
|That little speck of green may or may not be squash returning from our failed attempt last year. So I'm going to water it and if it turns out to be a veggie, great! If not, the best cared for weed ever!|
|Spinach is already popping up! I'm labeling the veggies this year with scrap wood and magic marker.|
|The broccoli bucket. With a broccoli sign.|
|Some broccoli coming up!|
|More broccoli coming up!|
Now that things are starting to grow, I need to deter the wildlife some more. Blood meal, Irish Spring, and Bobbex.

Grains are mixed. SX is up 14 cents and near 15.02. SMZ is near 433.8. BOZ is near 67.67. CZ is up 1 cent and near 6.97. WZ is up 13 cents and near 8.72. KWZ is up 12 cents and near 9.39. MWZ is up 5 cents and near 9.31.
US Dollar is lower. US stocks are higher. Crude is higher. Gold, silver, coffee, cocoa and cotton are higher. Key US inflation data today.
USDA surprised the market with lower than expected estimate of the US 2022 soybean crop. Total US 2022/23 supply is down 138 mil bu from August. USDA dropped US exports 70 mil bu and crush 20 mil bu to get to a carryout of 200 mil bu. Question is, are futures high enough to ration the demand USDA dropped? USDA dropped US soybean crop rating 1 pct to 56 G/E. Weekly IS export inspections were lower than expected. USDA export sales on Thursday key to estimating export demand. Argentina soybean, soymeal and soyoil export prices are below US. Dalian futures reopened sharply higher in catching up with US futures gains.
Corn futures rallied to near 7.00 CZ after USDA dropped the US 2022 corn crop 415 mil bu from August. USDA dropped feed use 100, ethanol 50 and exports 100 to get to a carryout near 1,219. USDA also lowered weekly US corn rating 1 pct to 53 with 5 pct of crop harvest. USDA increased non US and China World corn crop 8 mmt and lowered EU only 1.2 mmt. USDA raised Ukraine corn crop 1.5 mmt and exports .5 mmt to 13.0. Key is if Russia renews the open export corridor deal.
Wheat prices dropped after USDA raised World wheat crop 4 mmt and carryout 1 mmt. USDA raised Russia crop 3 mmt and Ukraine 1 mmt. USDA kept India wheat exports at 6.5 mmt despite India ban on new wheat and flour exports. News India also banned new rice exports could support World wheat prices. Dry US south plains could also be supportive with US 2022/23 HRW ending stocks down 97 mil bu from last year.

So today is May 1st! Soon I will be packing the garden full of seeds and transplants. I spent yesterday laying out the garden using the square foot gardening method. WOW!! I can already see how efficient and neat this is going to make it!! It is hard changing your mindset about how to cram everything you possibly can into as little space as possible…but I am really committed to this change.
As you can see I am reusing some old car floor mats and will scrounge some boards and maybe old carpet to keep the aisles weed-free! Also much cleaner on the shoes and the soil is never compressed where I am planting!
Tom likes how easy it is to see where the “good” plants are…he is always worried he will pull something he shouldn’t!! (Last year he weed-whacked some volunteer tomatoes growing around the composter…oops!!)
Have a pot of liquid hand soap sitting on the stove…found a great recipe on http://www.thefarmersnest.com/2011/11/liquid-hand-soap-diy.html
Go to her site it is awesome and this is a great idea!!
Have a wonderful day!!

Indonesia is well-known as the biggest producer and exporter of coconut, as well as for its derivative products. Indonesia has large plantation area of coconut throughout the islands. Other than Indonesia, Philippines and India are the following in the second and third place. As the business grows, there will be more exporters of coconut and its derivative products from Indonesia. The exporters are ranging from small to big enterprises. Furthermore, looking at the whole supply chain of the exporting process of coconut, there includes many parties, including individual farmers. Hence, we believe that developing export business of coconut and its products will bring more benefit to all relevant parties.
However, unfortunately there are so many fresh and unprocessed coconut that are exported from Indonesia. Thus, the Indonesian government encourage all parties to add the value of coconut before exporting it to other countries. So that the export value will increase, as well as the welfare of the parties. Consequently, it will also increase the economy of Indonesia in general with more and larger business activities. Therefore, as the exporters of various coconut-based products in Indonesia, we commit to focus more on semi and finished products. Our products ranging from oils category, sweeteners, fillings, supporting ingredients, and non-food items.
Many companies import coconut and its derivative products from Indonesia due to its reliable quality and competitive price. As the industry and exports business grows, it indicates that Indonesian coconut products can compete well in the market. As one of the best suppliers and exporter of coconut products from Indonesia, PT Limantara alam sukses, under the name of One Global Coco, commit to always provide better value of the products to our customers. If you are interested to import our coconut products which are originally from Indonesia, please feel free to contact us. You can contact us through Whatsapp and Email for further information and discussion.

You don't believe that the entire agriculture industry has any effect on water losses?
Apparently pot farms are wreaking havoc on water supplies in Norcal because there is so much cultivation and water theft, wells and entire aquifers are starting to go dry in some places.
A couple crops in CA that have become more widespread recently are rice and alfalfa. I've read these take massive amounts of water as flood irrigation is common, while most of these crops are exported over to Asia rather than domestic consumption.
I wouldn't say that most Yanks don't get it, though. Some don't, but most do. The big problem here is the system of water rights where long-time senior rights holders of stream water can take as much as they want at zero cost, while less senior rights holders get nothing.
I think this system is written into the State's constitution, though even if it were not I don't think the politicians have the backbone to reform. The drought would probably be long over before all the lawsuits would be settled.


A newly established farm, we are excited to start offering goat and sheep cheeses (both fresh and aged) as soon as possible, hopefully by Summer 2022. We are passionate about working with conservation breed animals, and will be providing eggs, meat, and wool from rare-breed ducks, geese, and sheep. We plan to offer limited produce, with focus on specialty garlic, onions, herbs, and other heirloom treasures.
