SOME UNUSUAL PLANTS FROM MAUI HAWAII
Some pictures taken in Haiku Maui, June 2008.
This is the new growing center of a sago palm. Those little shoots will grow to be about 5 feet long, with sharp spikes along the center rib. Now they are velvety and soft.
These bromeliad plants have huge flower spikes that stand 4 feet tall. The "air plants" are very low maintenance, yet continue to produce these incredible blooms every year.
You all know what this is, and here it is growing in a pot. Yes it's true, you can grow a whole new plant like this from the cut top of your fresh pineapple. It just takes a really long time to grow. They used to grow them commercially in many more parts of Maui than they do now. It's kind of a declining industry, but the fresh fruit market is replacing the canned product, with great success.
Aloha and thanks for visiting my Maui blog - your comments are appreciated.


Flavors of the land
Two food products are emblematic symbols of Mallorca, and fundamental when it comes to identifying the island in the rest of the world: ensaimada and sobrasada. But they are not the only nor the best. Olive, almond groves and vineyards dominate part of the landscape of the island and the production of virgin olive oil, almonds and wine are internationally recognized. Also Mallorcan food is considered of extraordinary quality. Hence some products have a designation of origin or quality protection.


Crop markets turned decidedly lower Wednesday. Traders partially cited U.S. dollar strength as one reason for today’s early weakness in the grain and soy complexes, but accelerated farmer selling was probably a larger factor. That is, with nearby corn futures bumping up against $4.00/bushel, producers are reportedly selling grain more aggressively this week. March corn settled 5.75 cents lower at $3.8375/bushel Wednesday afternoon, while July lost 6.0 to $3.995.
Farmer selling also seemed to sink the soy complex. Although soy demand, particularly for meal, apparently remains quite robust, soybean and product prices suffered a concerted decline Wednesday. As with corn, having spot quotes challenging the $10.00/bushel level was too good for many producers to pass up. Concurrent energy sector losses and early U.S. dollar strength probably exaggerated the CBOT selling. March soybean futures fell 12.0 cents to $9.9575/bushel at their Wednesday close, while March soyoil slumped 0.31 cents to 32.01 cents/pound, and March meal sagged $3.7 to $338.6/ton.
Egyptian news hit the wheat markets. News out of India and Russia, as well as arctic cold over the U.S. Plains seemingly supported the wheat markets Tuesday night. Anticipation of an Egyptian tender for U.S. wheat also encouraged bulls. That changed dramatically by midmorning, when Egyptian officials announced that they were cancelling the tender due to excessively high quotes from suppliers. Futures tumbled in response. March CBOT wheat dropped 7.0 cents to $5.2775/bushel in late Wednesday trading, while March KC wheat dove 14.25 cents to $5.48/bushel, and March MWE wheat dipped 6.75 to $5.82.
Spot market strength likely boosted CME cattle. Cash cattle prices posted an unexpected increase last week and choice grade beef quotes have subsequently advanced. Those events, as well as the cash market’s historical tendency to peak in the March-April period each year, made the discounts built into CME futures look too large. April cattle futures leapt 1.90 cents to 152.62 cents/pound in closing Wednesday action, while August cattle rallied 0.57 cents to 142.85 cents/pound. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle futures jumped 1.65 cents to 203.10 cents/pound and May feeders surged 1.27 to 201.35.
Hog traders seemed to be looking for proof of a bottom. Talk of fresh cash weakness and continuing losses by the CME lean hog index sent hog futures sharply lower again Tuesday. However, afternoon reports indicated much firmer cash and wholesale markets later in the day, with the sustained nature of that firmness suggesting the spot markets are finally trying to bottom. April hog futures ended Wednesday having risen 0.22 cents to 64.22 cents/pound, while June hogs advanced 0.87 to 79.25.
Tight certificated stocks are spurring cotton buying. Indian officials stated that country’s 2014/15 cotton production at 35.15 million bales overnight, which greatly exceeded the latest USDA figure at about 30.5 million. The fact that India exports only a modest portion of its crop may have limited the market impact of the news, but the real driver of today’s early cotton gains was very likely the greatly reduced level of stocks certified for delivery against ICE futures. March longs are probably squeezing short position holders. March cotton futures vaulted 0.82 cents to 64.62 cents/pound as Wednesday’s ICE session ended, while the July contract gained 0.86 to 65.72.

The worst drought in over 50 years is hurting the Midwest and will likely begin to filter into food prices. Compounding the problem are higher commodity prices, which could equal a lucrative investment in agriculture related shares and exchange traded funds.
World food prices are facing pressure as evidenced by The World Food Bank,which just reported that global food prices have jumped 10%. This can be severe to citizens in emerging and developing nations, who spend up to 40% of their income on food. As oil prices tick up, the only factor docking inflation pressure is the slow economic activity, Bill Witherell for Wall Street Pit wrote.
This opens up the possibility for commodity focused ETFs to rally, such as the PowerShares DB Agricultural Fund (NYSEArca: DBA). This highly liquid fund has $2.1 billion in assets and has gained about 17% over the past quarter. DBA is up 5% year-to-date. Another option is the Teucrium Corn Fund (NYSEArca:CORN) which has rallied up 41% over the past three months, and gained 23% year-to-date. [Corn prices Lead Ag ETFs on Drought Forecast]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has projected a shortfall for the United States corn crop, as well as that of Argentina and Brazil. Soybeans are also facing a shortage. Corn and wheat supplies are also stretched in parts of Eastern Europe. [Corn, Ag ETFs Rocket on Supply Concerns and Drought]


The red grape variety is a new breed between Mavrud x Merlot. Synonyms are Evmolpiya and Thracian Mavrud. The crossing was made in Bulgaria by the breeder Dimitiar Babrikov. The plant variety protection was granted in 1991. The early to medium maturing vine is relatively resistant to Botrytis. It produces full-bodied, neutral red wines with moderate tannin and alcohol content. In 2010, 92 hectares were designated in Bulgaria (Kym Anderson). There are also small stocks in the USA and Australia.

Following success at the PM summer school in August, next week sees the start (and finish) of the 4th international PM workshop at the Jordell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
This two day conference will be based largely around cutting-edge genomic and transcriptomic research. Fortunately, lectures on life cycles and host specificity, as well as my own (outlining the PM citizen science scheme and my research aims of PM molecular identification), will offer some respite from the otherwise intangible fields. Included in the programme are a dinner at a nearby pub, ‘The Botanist’, and finally a guided tour of the Gardens. Having never been to Kew before this will be a treat.
I am excited to be in the presence of such eminent and well-established researchers, thankful to Syngenta and the BSPP for sponsoring this important event, and hope my own presentation will stimulate thought amongst the community.

- Mixed News for Corn and Soybean Exports
- Soybean exports on track?
The USDA's weekly Export Sales report and weekly reports of export inspections provide timely information about export demand for U.S. agricultural commodities. The U.S. Census Bureau, however, is the official source of export estimates. The monthly Census Bureau reports are not as timely as USDA reports, but provide an opportunity to reassess export progress during the marketing year, says University of Illinois Economist Darrel Good.
"For the marketing year that began on Sept. 1, 2010, the USDA forecasts U.S. corn exports at 1.95 billion bushels, 37 million bushels less than were exported last year. Through the first 23 weeks of the marketing year (Sept. 1, 2010 through Feb. 10, 2011) the USDA's weekly export inspections report showed cumulative export inspections of 737 million bushels, 7 million more than the total of the previous year," he says.
Inspection estimates for the week ended Feb. 10 will likely be revised higher, as has been the pattern all year, so that the actual difference is likely closer to 10 million bushels, he says.
"Census Bureau estimates of exports for December 2010 were released on Feb. 11. Cumulative Census Bureau export estimates for the first four months of the marketing year exceeded inspections by 34.5 million bushels," Good says.
Last year, Census Bureau estimates for the same period exceeded inspection by 50.9 million bushels. By the end of the marketing year, Census Bureau estimates exceeded inspections by 102 million bushels, he says.
"It is typical for the difference to get larger as the marketing year progresses. If the pattern of differences this year in relation to that of last year has continued since December, actual exports through Feb. 10 were likely about equal to those of last year," he adds.
If so, exports during the last 29 weeks of the marketing year will need to be 37 million bushels less than exports of a year ago to reach the USDA projection, a difference of about 1.3 million bushels/week. As of Feb. 3, unshipped export sales exceeded those of a year ago by 21 million bushels, Good notes.
Larger outstanding sales and prospects for a further reduction in the estimated size of the Argentine crop suggest that marketing year exports will at least reach the USDA projection, he says.

Vertical farming takes off in former Wellington nightclub
Vertical farming takes off in Wellington
Field Notes, powered by KPMG, is a weekly news update on news nationally and globally from the agri-food sector.
[20 October/Stuff NZ]
Shoots Microgreens is one of NZ's first vertical farms and is housed in a former nightclub in Wellington. The space has been transformed into an urban market garden supplying over 80 restaurants and also sells produce for stores such as Moore Wilson. Microgreens are the intense flavoured first shoots and leaves, and are popular among chefs and bartenders for garnishing meals and cocktails. Co-owner Matt Keltie started the business last year and it now employs three fulltime workers, although it is yet to make a profit. Mr Keltie states that vertical farming is all about using an efficient production area, recycling water, and having a lower carbon footprint. Everything is recycled including the water and growing trays, and deliveries are made using e-bikes. Prices start at $7.25 for a tray of peas, which grow in a little over a week, whereas slower growing red sorrel is priced accordingly higher.

Salt build up? heat stress? not sure whats wrong with this plant.
I'm not sure exactly why my plant looks like this. I think it maybe salt build up in the soil, or maybe heat stress. maybe even CO2 problem. not sure.
I noticed it a couple of days ago,(leaf edges starting to curl up) i decided to replant this plant in a bigger pot with more soil. which it needed. (used black gold all purpose potting soil) and gave it a good dose of water until it was dripping out the bottom. but i have seen any improvement. the growth doesn't seem to be stunted, it's not growing tall, but it's starting to bush out.
But i would like to know what my plant has these curled edges. should i give the plant a good flushing?
as for nutes, i'm giving it some aurora soul. with pH treated tap water. (6.6 pH)
MY tent is has a 600 watt HPS and stays about 80 degrees. humidity around 50%. and i'v got my light about 19 inches away.
try checking out this guide to plant problems and see if you can match up one of your pix to one on the list m8..

AS for my drainage, i believe it's good. there's a few holes drilled on the bottom of the planter. I have have it sitting in a tray, and i just let the excess water remain in there, and it usually evaporates.
I use 8-4-4 for veg and compost tea to help the soil. It looks like deficiency to me too.
Do you keep it soaked? It needs a day of drying. This will make the roots stretch. You don't want it always wet.
I just water the plant until i start getting a few drips out the bottom, then i just kinda check by weight to see when it needs more water. I usually add some water every other day. And i just the old finger test to see how dry the soil is, and how far it goes down.
I guess i could check out some different nutes. or maybe get some employments. I haven't been getting too in depth with the supplements and additives, seeing how i'm just starting out.
I bought this plant and another from a local dispensary a week ago.

a good tip is wait for the top layer of the growing medium (like an inch or so down) to be fully dry before watering again and also be careful to not be giving it too much water sometimes watering the plant til waters coming out the bottom is too much depending on the size of your container and since yours aint too big it might be getting too much water and theres fore if your nutes are in the water you might be giving it too much nutes i dunno i am just making a rough assumption but those afre still some good tips for watering
i hope you fix your problem tho bud sick plants are never good thats fos sure lol
this is a simple one. basically it is too hot in your grow space. the leaves curl up like a boat shape when the temp is too high. "
The marijuana plant is losing water via it’s leaves faster than what can be replaced by the root system. The marijuana leaf responds by leaf margin cupping or rolling up or down (most times up) in order to conserve moisture.".im dealing with the same issue and i just dimm my ballast for 30 min or so and the leaves go back down. keep in mind they lose a lot of water like this. water more often. also it looks like u can use some nitrogen. when leaves start getting light green to yellow its a N deficiency.

Draft Animal Power – Draft animals and sustainable land stewardship › Forums › Sustainable Living and Land use › Sustainable Farming › Best Practice garlic planting
- October 14, 2016 at 10:08 am #89558
I have a beautiful seed bed prepped for garlic after the Annual Gathering. I think it was Michael Glos on Sunday who was describing to me the best way to use the straddle row cultivator to set up beds for garlic. It was a blur of a time but I think he said “Set sweeps on the middle of each carrier, tip them forward, and they will make a bed between them. If you then set over one width and repeat, creating beds for garlic.” I’m not sure I have that right.
My question- given a team of good steady percherons, a straddle-row cultivator, a driver with limited experience on a cultivator, and a flat seedbed 120’x50,’ how would you go about setting up the most efficient garlic planting. I typically mulch my garlic and leave it alone until July.
Thanks!October 14, 2016 at 11:28 am #89559
I think Stephen Leslie wrote this up in Rural Heritage but I don’t know what issue. I’ll try to dig through this weekendOctober 16, 2016 at 6:49 pm #89567daniel groverKeymaster
I wouldn’t worry too much about setting up beds for your garlic. Instead, I’d mark out 36″ on center rows and then plant straight single rows of garlic. You can use a string or a long 100 or 300′ tape to set out straight rows and then just plant to the string or tape. A tape and two people is a nice way to do it because you can both use it to measure three feet off of your previous row at either end of the field and simultaneously set up your straight line for planting. Set a rock on each end of the tape and then start planting, using the tape to measure out your nice, even spacing.
This method will get you close enough to good rows that you could cultivate them if you’d like. But if you’re mulching, you probably won’t cultivate anyway.
Not mulching is also an option though in some cases (planting depth and soil type seem to be factors here), the garlic can be frost heaved out of the ground. No good.
If you do want to practice with your cultivator or you really want beds for whatever reason, most veggie farmers using a straddle row cultivator set up a V shaped pattern of sweeps for bed forming. You need to make up a middle bracket which spans your two gangs and which you can attach a center sweep to. I believe that there is a photo of a set up like this in Stephen’s book. I’ve seen different versions. David Fisher has a really nice welded bracket. Donn has also built a couple of different types of brackets.
With this set up, the middle shank is in place for bed making and then is removed to cultivate. I like to set the outside shanks very slightly lower than middle ones so that they really dig out and mark your rows. Additionally, there is sometimes a board drag of some kind behind the cultivator which evens out the bed tops. David uses one successfully. I’ve had mixed luck. I think soil type really matters here.
My two cents.October 17, 2016 at 9:38 am #89568
I was really just after an excuse to practice with the cultivator. What I ended up doing is a lot like you said Daniel, removing the center Sweep and leaving a bed in that space. I have not measured but the beds should be centered with the cultivator- not sure if that’s 36.”
I also disced the second area of plowed up land with 4 cinder blocks on the 6′ disc. It was a lot rougher and bounced cinder blocks off the disc even though they were tied on (Not well). Sarah declined to ride. More work is needed but it’s leveling out well.

The Mk II version of my sour dough bread looks much better than the Mk I. I didn't add extra water than recommended to the dough and left it quite dry. It rose beautifully overnight and I used a bread tin to bake it in. I also baked it at a higher temperature and for ten minutes longer. Plus, I put a bowl of water in the oven to provide a more moist environment. It did split along one end but I think that was caused by the way I'd folded it. Next week I'll try another technique for the proving that is used at River Cottage.
I spent another morning in my vegetable garden. The weather was lovely, even better than yesterday as there was no wind. A robin joined us for a few minutes, he found a few insects in the soil we'd turned over. I put the manure and some pelleted chicken manure onto the new bed, cleared the big raised bed and marked out another bed ready for making tomorrow. I've covered the new bed with the black plastic, for two reasons really, to suppress weeds and to also stop the foxes digging holes in it. I did notice that a fox has started to dig a tunnel under our garage!

Medterra is Number #1
Medterra’s hemp is grown and extracted under the strict guidelines of the Kentucky Department of Agricultural Industrial Hemp Pilot Program. Our CBD is 100% organic and non-GMO, and every batch is third-party lab tested and guaranteed to be free of contaminants. Each Medterra product is made with our 99%+ pure CBD isolate. Our products contain absolutely zero THC and void of any psychoactive ingredients.
What is CBD?
CBD is a cannabis compound that has significant wellness benefits, but does not make people feel “high”. The fact that CBD-rich cannabis is non-psychoactive makes it an appealing option for patients looking for relief from various stresses on the mind and body.
Medterra's CBD comes from the industrial hemp that our farm harvests each year. To produce the purest cannabidiol, our hemp plants have been selectively bred to maximize CBD concentration.
As of 2014, CBD is legal nationwide
The gigantic 2014 US Farm Bill contained a small section called “Legitimacy of Industrial Hemp Research.” In this section, Congress legalized “industrial hemp” by carving it out as an exception to the controlled substances act.
Industrial hemp is “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”
In simple terms, the Farm Bill allows the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp as long as it’s grown or cultivated “for purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program or other agricultural or academic research” and if the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp is “allowed under the laws of the State in which such institution of higher education or State department of agriculture is located and such research occurs.”
At least 23 states have dove in and erected laws relating to industrial hemp, most importantly our home state of Kentucky that boasts near perfect growing seasons. This helps us produce CBD oil for general health purposes.
Unfortunately, there were several issues for Medterra in the Farm Bill, but luckily a provision in the later Funding Act put the finishing touch on hemp law, allowing industrial hemp and its component parts, such as CBD, to be processed, transported to and sold in all 50 state, including states that haven’t enacted industrial hemp laws pursuant to the Farm Bill.

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine markets are inching higher following heavy rainfall in the Arizona and California desert regions.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights and diminished quality
- Bottom rot, dirt/mud, epidermal blistering/peeling with discoloration, mechanical damage, mildew, and pinking are more prevalent after heavy rainfall
- Production crews are working slowly through poor field conditions, reducing overall output and pushing markets higher
- Expect markets to continue rising this week, before leveling off next week once production returns to normal

WHY DO WE OFFER A CSA?
We want the CSA to be especially for those customers that want to move toward getting nearly all of their food dollars out of the global/corporate/commodity food system (and all the harmful and risky inputs on which that system depends.) Our CSA isn't intended to enrich your corporate diet; it's intended to begin the process of replacing it. We believe small diversified farms can offer a thoroughly homegrown alternative to the whole system of supermarket agriculture. That's how we want to eat; it's mostly how we do eat; and our CSA is how we want to bring customers into that whole system of farming and eating with us. By partnering together more closely, we see the long-term potential to regain local control of pretty much everything we eat. If that isn't a goal you share, as we expect it won't be for most of our customers, we hope we can still find lots of common ground at the farmers' market or through farm pick-ups without the special partnership involved in the CSA. If, on the other hand, it is a goal you share, read on!
THE CSA PLAN
2014 will be our 10th year offering CSA shares. Our CSA plan consists of 23 weekly boxes with a value of $21 each, for a total of $483. If you pay in full by March 31 we'll give you the last box as a bonus, so the total cost to you would be $462. (Or talk to us about payment options.) We're also offering half season shares at $231 for 11 weekly boxes (covering the first 12 weeks of the season with one bye week and renewable for the second half) for first-time members to try out the CSA without making a full-season commitment. You have the option to e-mail us specific requests for your box in response to our weekly e-mail. If you want more than $21 worth of farm products any given week, we'll have you pay for the extra in cash that week. In addition to the regular produce items, you can also request things that we wouldn't automatically include as part of your box (plants, eggs, flowers, soap, candles, bread, beef...anything we sell from our farm.) For things that don't fit into the weekly box (like shares of beef, honey by the case, etc.), we'll give you first dibs as CSA members.
THE PRESERVING SHARE
As an optional addition to the regular full-season CSA share, we also offer a "preserving share." For an average of $10 we'll give you an additional share of all one item suitable for preserving for the off-season (things that might be frozen or dehydrated or pickled or canned or simply stored in a cool closet.) The preserving share will be deeply discounted off the regular price (typically about half price.) It may include "seconds" with cosmetic or other flaws (e.g. odd shaped cucumbers or cracked tomatoes or misshapen carrots or onions with soft spots or strawberries with little bug bites.) Other times it will simply be an item of which we have an over-abundance that week (things like beets, cabbages, eggplant, field peas, cooking greens, okra, green peppers, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, summer squash...) The price is an additional $160 for 16 boxes (with possibilities for continuing past the 16th box.) We'll choose from the 23 weeks when you're receiving a regular CSA box to give you your preserving shares. We'll make sure you get at least 12 different items by your 23rd week. If you're looking for an economical way to enjoy the same food we sell in-season during the off-season, and if you're flexible enough to deal with preserving a larger quantity of a different crop each week (occasionally with a very short shelf life), then the preserving share might be just the thing for you. We're only offering a very limited number of preserving shares, however.
WHAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN OUR CSA CONCEPT BUT NOT IN THE FOCUS ON THE WEEKLY BOX?
If you'd like to build a deeper relationship with a particular farm like ours but you're more interested in things like freezer shares of meat, eggs, honey by the case, other bulk purchases, hand-harvested grains and dry beans, maybe even cooperative milking arrangements... (perhaps because you grow your own year-round supply of vegetables already), then we don't have a prepared plan to present to you, but please come visit. If you're serious about going beyond the farmers' market basics but don't have enough land or time to do it all yourself, there are lots of options to discuss that are too complicated or specialized for any kind of standardized offering. Special arrangements would likely require a more serious level of commitment to local food, including notably items with much cheaper supermarket counterparts.
WHY SHOULD YOU LET US CHOOSE WHAT TO PUT IN YOUR BOX?
If you don't e-mail us an order we'll pack your box (or if you order less than $21 we'll make up the difference ) with a full assortment of vegetables, strawberries and any other fruit we have, mushrooms, other garden and field crops (like peanuts, popcorn...), etc. You have the option of placing an order that will cover the whole box, but there are several reasons to minimize your particular requests. One reason is that it's a good way to discover things you might not otherwise have enjoyed. Another reason is that we'll choose the crops that are at their peak of quality each week. Letting us choose also frees you from having to e-mail us if e-mail isn't convenient for you. And if you let us choose, that allows us to include things that we don't have in enough quantity to offer to everyone or that didn't make the e-mail list for other reasons. Often that means extending the season for crops: for example, we may have a limited quantity of early tomatoes for a couple weeks before and a limited quantity of late tomatoes for a few weeks after the main tomato season. It also means that we can include items that we grow in smaller quantities or perennial crops (especially the many types of fruit we're growing) that haven't reached full production yet (e.g. Asian pears, blueberries, tame blackberries, figs, sour cherries...) These are all marginal things -- the bulk of what we'd pack for you would be the same as what we list in the e-mail, centered on vegetables -- but we enjoy being able to treat our CSA members to these kinds of extras.
WHAT IF YOU'RE OUT OF TOWN OR CAN'T COME TO THE PICK-UP ONE WEEK? WHAT ABOUT EXTRA WEEKS?
Our CSA season should run at least 26 weeks, so you should have at least 3 bye weeks (4 if you don't count the bonus week.) If you don't want to get a box one week, just let us know by the order deadline on the day before pick-up. If we don't hear from you by the order deadline, we'll pack you a box like we described in the paragraph above. If you reach your 23rd box before the end of the season and would like to continue, you'll have the option of paying $21 each week to continue to receive a CSA share for any remaining weeks to the season.
HOW TO PROCEED IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN JOINING
If you haven't ever been to our farm before, we require a visit to the farm before the start of the CSA. (Anyone is welcome to make plans to visit or pick up an order at the farm.) If you have any questions call (704-546-5074) or e-mail us. If you think you're ready to sign up, contact us, and we'll send you a sign-up form. We're taking CSA members on a first come first serve basis until we're full. To hold your spot, we ask for at least a $100 deposit. If you were a CSA member last year, we'll save a spot for you if you (1) e-mail us by February 15 to say you'll be sending a deposit and (2) send us the minimum deposit by February 28.

Guides start digging for their next badges
HERVEY Bay's Girl Guides will soon get their hands dirty after donations start to pour in for their new garden.
Last week Hervey Bay district manager for Girl Guides Sharon Hay put out a call to locals for their support in building a new garden on the group's grounds to help with their new environment badge.
"We had a new path put in thanks to Epic Community Grants and that gave us some new space for a garden,” Sharon said.
"Each year Girl Guides Australia puts out a new badge.
"Last year it was Girl Guides go camping and this year it's all about working with the environment, so we thought we'd make use of the area that instead of it just being a flat area of dirt.
"I looked at the empty space that we now have and realised we really needed something.
"There was talk about getting some dirt and filling in the gap, but we decided to go further and build a garden.”
The project will help the local Girl Guides work towards their new environment badges, as one part of the criteria will be maintaining a natural habitat.
Possum Paradise nursery is donating a trailer load of soil, Hervey Bay Garden Centre is donating soil and once the group is ready, the Fraser Coast Regional Council will be donating a trailer load of mulch.
Residents have already started donating seedlings and seeds to the group.
"Around 30 girls will be helping on the project and we want to plant as many natives as possible,” Ms Hay said.
"It's not the biggest garden but it's good enough for what we need and the best part is that it's a blank canvas.”
For more information on the Hervey Bay Girl Guides or to donate, phone 0438 748 465.

Dahlias come in one of the largest arrays of shapes, colors and sizes of any flower. Their size ranges from giant "dinner plate" to tiny pompon types. Dahlias make a splash as excellent cut flowers. Dahlias are generally treated like annuals in our Boulder climate. Their tubers can be dug in the fall, stored through the winter and started indoors in the early spring. As soon as all frost danger has passed, they may be planted outside again to give you beautiful color for another gardening season.

So the dust can be applied upwards
The tip on the Long Shot Puffer Duster does not rotate. If you need to apply dusts in an upward application the B&G 1150 Bulb Duster would be a better choice.

The four trees designed by Buehrer Wuest arch into a steel canopy topped with a geometric roof that resembles the shapes created in cell division. The greenhouse as a whole is specifically designed to match the surrounding natural environment and even to grown with it.
Glass hangs from the steel branches, demarcating various planting areas and enclosing the greenhouse. Inside are a variety of subtropical plants, including bananas and papaya, which could never grow alone in the typically cold climate more suited to rustic alpine lodges and winter fires!

Salinas, CA: A strong and a cold late-season storm delivered record rainfall June 28 with daytime highs in the mid-60s. High pressure will soon build producing daytime highs from the upper 70s to mid-80s through July 5.
Fresno, CA: A strong and a cold late-season storm delivered record rainfall June 28 with daytime highs in the upper 70s. High pressure will soon build and quickly raise daytime temperatures. The Central Valley will reach a high of 108 degrees July 5.
Russet demand far exceeds supply in all shipping areas. Salinas Valley row crop shippers were seeing moderate to light demand on several key items.
TRANSPORTATION & FUEL
Demand for trucks on the West Coast exceeds availability. Freight rates are at the summer season's peak.
The price of crude oil increased $1.93 June 29 to $94.82 per barrel, which is 35 percent below record levels of July 2008. The nationwide average price for a gallon of diesel the week of June 27 was $3.89, which is 32 percent higher than one year ago. The average price in California for a gallon of diesel is $4.15, which is also 32 percent higher than last year.
A strong and cold late-season storm June 28 produced measurable rainfall throughout much of the Salinas Valley and Watsonville. Daytime highs reached only the mid-60s, and as much as 0.5 inches of rain fell in Watsonville. This rain will act like a shot of fertilizer and encourage ample lettuce production into the week of July 4.
California's Central Coast is on the verge of much warmer temperatures July 2-4. Temperatures are forecast to reach into the mid-80s with overnight lows in the 60s. Shippers are somewhat concerned that the combination of rain so closely followed by heat may spark an increase in mildew. That being said, there's enough lettuce acreage under production that even a modest rise in mildew would not greatly affect the market.
Lettuce quality of late has been strong with good color, texture, weights and shelf life upon arrival. The lettuce market is expected to remain steady and reasonably priced heading into the week of July 4. Looking down range, most shippers concur that today's market will remain steady near current levels into mid-July.
Romaine and green leaf are in a similar situation as Iceberg lettuce. The June 28 rain will increase near-term production, and the warmer weather the weekend of July 2 may increase the threat of mildew. Ample acreage is under production, so a modest increase in mildew would have little effect on the market. Overall leaf quality of late has been very strong with good weights, color and shelf life upon arrival.
Regional leaf deals on the East Coast and in the Midwest are offering good supplies of leaf lettuce. The net effect is less demand for product from the West Coast. The leaf market in California will remain fairly quiet until the regional deals are hit with either excessive summer heat and/or rain. When this happens, and it will, demand unexpectedly swings back to California, and the leaf markets quickly react higher. For now, the West Coast leaf market will remain very reasonable heading into the week of July 4.
Broccoli supplies are ample from the Salinas Valley and Santa Maria. The June 28 rain acted like a shot of fertilizer and will encourage ample production heading into the week of July 4. The market is very reasonable, and even Asian crowns are in good supply. This is a good time to highlight California broccoli from California's Central Coast.
Salinas Valley and Santa Maria shippers continue to offer ample supplies of high-quality celery. The size profile is currently peaking on 24s. A two-tier market has developed as Santa Maria shippers attempt to lure orders and trucks away from Salinas. The overall market is expected to remain steady and reasonable heading into the week of July 4.
Production in Oxnard has faded substantially over the past month, and nearly all shippers have concluded their season. The annual 30-day soil moratorium in Oxnard begins July 15. New-crop celery from Oxnard will be ready by Thanksgiving.
A strong and cold late-season storm produced 0.5 inches of rain in Watsonville and 0.2 inches in Salinas June 28. A Watsonville strawberry salesman recently said, "This storm threw us a curve ball. We'll have to slow the harvest and be very selective over the next few days. Production will be down as much as 50 percent through the weekend of July 2." The decrease in production will be met with lighter demand now that the July 4 pull is over. The overall market is expected to hold steady heading into the week of July 4.
The wild card is the forecast of daytime highs in the mid-80s July 2-4. Shippers are hoping for breezy weather June 29 through July 1 so fruit on the vine has a chance to dry thoroughly before the heat arrives. Only time will tell if there are any long-term ill effects from the rain followed by heat.
It's been well chronicled that the New Mexico deal is off to a very slow start and will be plagued with poor yields and undersized onions well into July. The hard freeze in early February brought overnight temperatures between zero and 10 degrees in the onion-growing districts. Onion tops in countless over-wintered fields fell and did not recover. Production today in New Mexico is 20-30 percent below normal. It's been clear for many weeks that the Huron, CA, onion volume cannot compensate for New Mexico's shortfall.
Shippers remain baffled, if not stumped, that the much anticipated runaway market has not yet appeared. Why don't we have a demand-exceeds-supply onion market? Two reasons: light demand and limited transportation.
Market News reported that California and New Mexico are producing a combined 300 loads per day and that Mexico, oddly enough, is contributing another 30 loads. The United States traditionally absorbs 370 to 400 loads per day at this time of year. Light demand is the only plausible explanation why a shortfall of 40-70 loads per day is not resulting in a runaway market with jumbo yellow prices considerably higher than today's levels.
Limited truck availability is adding to the light demand. A truck shortage means there are more onion orders than there are trucks to haul the onions to market. Transportation cannot keep up with production, and onion supplies build at the source. The net effect is that a tight truck market curbs demand for product.
It's been hot in New Mexico, and field maturity has advanced. Fields are as much as one week ahead of schedule. Early maturing fields are softening the effects of the light production. The danger is that the combination of light production and advanced maturity will eventually create even a larger shortfall. Adding to the concern are temperatures in Huron, CA, which will soar from 79 degrees June 29 to 108 degrees July 5.
All the necessary ingredients are in place to produce a demand-exceeds onion market. Today's market is fragile, and it wouldn't take much additional demand to quickly send prices higher.
Today's russet market is demand exceeds supply. Storage supplies are legitimately light and falling into fewer hands with each passing week. Colorado's early exit has placed extra pressure on Idaho shippers who are struggling to minimize or prevent a gap between old- and new-crop russets. Adding further pressure are Northwest processors who find themselves in need of extra product and are willing to pay top dollar for the few remaining supplies.
The cold spring has delayed the progress of new-crop russets. Idaho shippers speculate that the harvest will begin Aug. 22-28, which is weeks late. An Idaho salesman recently said, "On one hand, we have processors and fresh buyers competing fiercely for limited old-crop supplies. On the other hand, persistent cold temperatures throughout the spring will delay the start of the new-crop harvest, and we are forced to stretch today's remaining light supplies in order to prevent or minimize a gap between old and new crop. We have to balance today's excessive demand and light remaining supplies to make sure we don't run out of supplies in August."
Fresh buyers are trying to stay ahead of inventories and the rising market by loading additional product. This extra demand contributes to the frenzy and fuels even higher prices. Shippers are so overwhelmed with business that they are taking orders only from regular customers two to four days in advance of loading and establishing prices the day of shipment. This is a runaway market, and prices will continue to rise daily in the near term.
Patchy fog will persist in Oxnard through July 5 with daytime highs near 70 degrees. Strong summer demand will push the lemon market higher in the near term. Overall quality is strong. Lemons are available in Oxnard and the Central Valley, and can load with Valencia oranges.
A strong and cold late-season storm delivered rain showers throughout the Central Valley June 28-29. Daytime high temperatures were considerably below normal and reached only the 70s. Highs will quickly rebound and reach 105 degrees the weekend of July 2.
The sizing profile of the Valencia crop is fairly typical and offers traditional percentages of most sizes. The market on small oranges is strong, and shippers recently increased prices on choice 88s, 113s and 138s. Overall quality is strong with good sugars. Oranges are available for loading in the Central Valley followed distantly by Oxnard and Riverside. Oranges and lemons can load together in either district.
The five-month struggle with light volume and undersized carrots from California is thankfully over. Shippers said that the production of jumbo and plug carrots has returned to normal levels. Quality is excellent, and jumbo prices may ease modestly in the near term.
The Mexican Hass avocado season is in its twilight stages and will offer only smatterings of volume through the remainder of the summer months. What production there is will be "second bloom" fruit, also known as "La Flora Loca." The quality of this fruit may be suspect.
The 2010 California crop produced a record 575 million pounds. This year's production has fallen 55 percent, to 260 million pounds. The 10-year average in California is 380 million pounds. Bottom line: California cannot compensate for the production drop in Mexico.
The strong seller's market will continue until late July or early August with the introduction of new-crop fruit from Chile. When it arrives, price relief will be only modest.

Local tomatoes are at their best in late summer and are currently popping across town in gardens, farms and restaurants. The great thing about a good tomato is that it can practically stand alone. Toss some salt and pepper on it and work it into just about anything.
We aren’t known as “The Big Tomato” simply because the word can sorta be portmanteaued with Sacramento or because they grow so damn well here. We have been at the center of one of the nation’s largest tomato industries for decades.
If you are a fan of the love apple, as it used to be called, tonight’s discussion at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op is for you. Local historian William Burg is teaming up with local farmers to present a variety of views on the tomato, from its role in our local history and economy to new developments such as the square (!) tomato. Taste some delicious ones straight off the farm, too.

Say the term “genetically modified organism,” or GMO, and you’re bound to get some strong opinions. But what is it? And should we be afraid?
Like it or not, humans have been in the business of genetically changing organisms since we first started domesticating them around 12,000 BC. Simply put, favorable traits were identified in one generation of plants or animals—higher fertility, bigger size, faster maturity—and those individuals were selectively bred to produce the next generation.
Today, we don’t have to breed for desired traits over many generations, we can directly insert genes to change genomes in only one generation. The Monsanto corporation has long been at the forefront of genetic engineering when it comes to the plants we eat. They’ve been both praised and bashed for this.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I headed to the Monsanto laboratories. As an ecologist, I’ve been concerned about the ecological impacts of genetically engineered organisms, much of which we don’t know. I was surprised about what I found. Monsanto is using its biotech muscle to not only genetically engineer crops, but also to beef up its traditional cross-breeding activities.
So what to make of this? Maybe this modernized cross-breeding technique will be more palatable for many people who are concerned about the health impacts of genetically engineered foods. As for me, I’ll be sure to keep a close eye on Monsanto’s turbo-charged cross breeding efforts. They may very well be part of the solution for feeding an ever-expanding global population.

U.S. rice ending stocks were up on the month, while cotton held steady.
The USDA projects the domestic rice carryover at 36.1 million hundredweight, an increase of 3 million from February on a reduction in exports due to high prices. If realized, these would be the smallest U.S. rice exports in 37 years. The average farm price is estimated at $19.40 per hundredweight, steady on the month.
Cotton ending stocks held at 4.3 million bales, with no changes to the balance sheet.


After a year of tardiness in updating our allotment blog, I have resolved to do better this year! No more putting it off and conveniently forgetting about our allotment diary – instead I will be making regular updates about this year’s progress.
This is our 4th season up on plot 66A on Chipping Norton’s William Fowler Allotments. It still seems like yesterday we were facing the mammoth task of clearing the wilderness.
We still approach the new season with some trepidation, wondering how much work it will take to prepare the ground. In reality, it is quite an easy task now. All the hand weeding pays dividends and having individual beds reduces the workload considerably.
So what have we planned for 2011? Well … we’re hoping to actually produce some carrots and parsnips after last year’s dismal failure. On the plus side, none of our 12 carrots suffered from carrot fly, so at least we seem to have perfected our anti-fly screening technique. Now if we can just get the blessed things to grow …
We’re going to have more French beans and less runners and lots more delicious sweetcorn. We’re also attempting to grow our own onions from seeds this year, although we’ve hedged our bets and planted some sets too … just in case.
We had a visit from the family this weekend and took full advantage of our son-in-law’s energy and enthusiasm! He happily got on with digging the last bed while I supervised our (almost) 2 year old Baby Bear. She was fascinated by the allotment, thrilled to plant some seeds (potatoes) and very knowledgeable about the ‘compo’ (compost) – courtesy of Mr Bloom’s Nursery programme on children’s TV!
I must share this little boast with you … Jon, our son-in-law, is a bit of a ‘twitcher’ and has a bird song identification app on his iPhone. He and Baby Bear have been learning to identify their birds over the past few weeks. Imagine our amazement when our tiny tot stopped digging with her new baby-sized trowel, cocked her head, listened intently and announced … “It’s a chaffinch”. We looked up and chirping away in the hedgerow was indeed a chaffinch … do we have a child prodigy on our hands?
So more news next week from the Copywriter’s Allotment. We’re ahead of the game with everything ready to go. Back at allotment central, the plant-house is full of seedlings and it won’t be long until we’re planting like crazy.
