I know this is early, but I'm a first time gardener, so I'm excited to get going. I recently started pepper plants from seeds using Jiffy windowsill greenhouse/tray and peat pellets. Most of the seeds have sprouted and I am leaving them on the windowsill for the day and under a desk lamp for a few hours at night. My question are:
Is the desk lamp sufficient for supplying light and to a lesser extent heat?
Do they need to remain under the light all night?
Do I need to transplant the peppers from the peat pellets to a pot before hardening off and planting in my elevated bed (4' x 2' cedar box raised about 3 feet off the ground; I added casters in order to roll into the garage at night to avoid frost/critters), or can I keep them in the pellets until transferring to the bed?
Thanks for any help you can give!


Agricultural Innovation Start-up Companies to Pitch New Business Concepts to Investors and Strategic Partners
NextFarm’s Demo Day will showcase Tennessee-based agricultural start-up companies seeking additional investment and partnerships
MARTIN, Tenn. (Jan. 30, 2014) – NextFarm Agricultural Innovation Accelerator will host Demo Day on February 6 in Union City, Tenn., to highlight statewide innovative companies that are addressing global hunger, food safety, and opportunities for new farm income and rural jobs. The highlight of this event will be showcasing companies that have participated in the start-up accelerator program within NextFarm. Participating companies are:
- AgSmarts automates the operation of agricultural irrigation systems in order to help producers maximize crop yields and optimize input usage and costs. It does this through its mesh networks of environmental field and equipment-based sensors, IP-enabled controllers and wireless communications devices. The company’s initial service offering is designed for center pivot irrigation systems.
- Beyond Right Now Technologies is developing high-tech sensors for UAVs to locate feral hogs for eradication, thus reducing the significant crop losses now being experienced by Tennessee farmers.
- Secure Food Solutions is commercializing hyper spectral sensor technology developed at Mississippi State University and Agricultural Research Service USDA to make the food supply safer, while making handling and delivery more efficient in the United States and in the developing world.
- Stony Creek Colors is a vertically integrated company developing the complete supply chain for replacing synthetic dyes with natural dyes from plants for the textile industry. The supply chain development includes the establishment of a small-farm network throughout the South.
In addition to these start-up companies, Demo Day will showcase several university spin-out companies through NextFarm’s University Commercialization Assistance Program. These companies are:
- FarmSpec is a student-led company from the University of Tennessee at Martin which is developing new equipment to provide additional conservation and economic benefits to row crop farmers. FarmSpec’s team was formed to focus on competing for the Howard Buffett Foundation-sponsored Ag Innovation Prize.
- Climate Adaptive Genetics is developing high-performance Angus cattle with enhanced heat tolerance. These animals have the potential of doubling beef production in hot-climate countries. The team members involved in this company are from Vanderbilt University and Middle Tennessee State University.
- Fertility Focus is based on patented technology from the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture used to improve cattle fertility rates in processes such as embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization. The company is receiving entrepreneurial development support from NextFarm’s partner Tech 20/20 based in Oak Ridge.
“Through our various acceleration programs, these entrepreneurs have refined their business ideas, connected to necessary resources and developed strategic partnerships to grow their companies and take their products to market,” said Carol Reed, executive director of The Northwest Tennessee Entrepreneur Center, a key partner in NextFarm. “Demo Day is an opportunity to showcase new and innovative ideas and technologies in agriculture, as well as the milestones that these company founders have achieved.”
The keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Jim Budzynski, a venture partner with Open Prairie Ventures and the managing principal of MacroGain Partners, a Carmel, Ind., firm focused on structuring venture and private equity investments in companies in the agricultural, food, and green energy industries. Dr. Budzynski has more than 30 years of direct agrifood and related markets experience and has led a broad range of consulting assignments for some of the largest players in the U.S. agrifood industry, developing significant expertise in strategic planning, brand management, channel strategy development, and customer relationship management and segmentation.
Additional speakers include: Jai Templeton, Deputy Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture; Jason Denenberg, Director of Entrepreneurship for Launch Tennessee; and Jim Rippy, chief executive officer of Discovery Park of America.
The event is expected to attract more than 100 attendees, including investors, business and community representatives and supporters.
Created in response to the challenge issued by Gov. Bill Haslam to make Tennessee the number-one state in the Southeast for the growth of the agricultural and forestry industries, NextFarm Agricultural Innovation Accelerator is a partnership between the Northwest Tennessee Entrepreneur Center, Memphis Bioworks Foundation, and Ag Innovation Development Group.
“The NextFarm accelerator leverages Tennessee’s agricultural strength and heritage, through building innovative agricultural businesses that can compete and grow in a global economy,” said Steve Bares, PhD, president and executive director of Memphis Bioworks Foundation.
This project is funded under an agreement with Launch Tennessee and/or the State of Tennessee.

Mr. Lin and his children run his family farm in the Fenghuang Mountains of Chaozhao, China. They specialize in Dan Cong Oolongs, which is unique and native to these mountains. Mr. Lin cultivates his tea trees organically and he crafts his teas using traditional techniques he has mastered from the knowledge of the last 3 generations of this family tea farm. It's inspiring to see Mr. Lin and his family working hard to spread their culture and traditions through their teas. Dan Cong oolongs are delicate and should be carefully brewed, just as in production, great care must to taken to to craft these precious teas.


Seed - cooked. The taste is rather like green peas
. Used when green and roasted in the pods, though the pods should not be eaten as these are irritating
. Acacia seeds are highly nutritious and contain approx 26% protein, 26% available carbohydrate, 32% fibre and 9% fat
. The fat content is higher than most legumes with the aril providing the bulk of fatty acids present
. These fatty acids are largely unsaturated which is a distinct health advantage although it presents storage problems as such fats readily oxidise
. The mean total carbohydrate content of 55.8 + 13.7% is lower than that of lentils, but higher than that of soybeans while the mean fibre content of 32.3 + 14.3% is higher than that of other legumes such as lentils with a level of 11.7%
. The energy content is high in all species tested, averaging 1480+270 kJ per 100g
. Wattle seeds are low glycaemic index foods. The starch is digested and absorbed very slowly, producing a small, but sustained rise in blood glucose and so delaying the onset of exhaustion in prolonged exercise
Flowers - cooked
. Rich in pollen, they are often used in fritters.
A yellow dye is obtained from the flowers
A green dye is obtained from the seed pods.
The extensive root system of this plant helps to prevent soil erosion
There are no medicinal uses listed for Acacia sophorae.
Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a sunny position in a warm greenhouse
. Stored seed should be scarified, pre-soaked for 12 hours in warm water and then sown in a warm greenhouse in March. The seed germinates in 3 - 4 weeks at 25°c
. As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, prick them out into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny position in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant them out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts, and consider giving them some protection from the cold for their first winter outdoors.
Cuttings of half-ripe wood with a heel, July/August in individual pots in a frame
. Overwinter in a greenhouse for the first winter and plant out in their permanent positions in late spring or early summer. Fair percentage
Practical Plants is currently lacking information on propagation instructions of Acacia sophorae. Help us fill in the blanks! Edit this page to add your knowledge.
Prefers a sandy loam and a very sunny position
. Succeeds in dry soils. Succeeds in any good garden soil that is not excessively limey
. Most members of this genus become chlorotic on limey soils
. Judging by the plants native habitat, it should tolerate maritime exposure[K].
Trees are not very hardy outdoors in Britain, even in the mildest areas of the country they are likely to be killed in excessively harsh winters.
This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby

This year I think we may finally get a more typical April with some rain (no snow please lol) showers that will bring May flowers! But I’m definitely not complaining…only thing I am complaining about is all the darn weeds that seem to pop up overnight with any warm or rainy weather especially after last year being 3rd wettest on record. As a friendly reminder to all of our clients that we start mulching March-April-May (or if you have beds with stone or walkway/patio joints) this is the perfect time to start your applications of weed control and pre-emergent so that you can protect your spring investment. I start in April and recommend Natria or Roundup and I personally prefer to use Avenger Weed Spray for existing weeds as well. It smells like oranges and lemons 🙂 It does have some limitations but seems like the safest alternative if you do not want to use stronger weed sprays around pets and children:
Avenger is a contact herbicide, which means it will not translocate through the plant and therefore may or may not kill the root system. Avenger will only work on weeds and grasses that are 4 inches or smaller in height. Avenger may need to be applied multiple times to get complete control of a weed or grass.
We also recommend using a weed preventer product 3 or 4 times a season such as Preen pre-emergent or Snapshot which is what the professionals use to assist with discouraging new weeds. Pre-emergent weed control products work by disrupting weed seed development as seeds germinate; seedings gradually die before breaking the soil surface. Snapshot bonds tightly with soil particles and is low in water solubility, so it won’t move out of the application zone.
We provide a useful guide to our clients along with a contact for the Green Scene a company that provides bed and area weed control for larger accounts (5000 square feet and more) or if you are too busy (lawns, wood lines, landscape plantings, walkways, patios, pool stone etc.) and here’s a copy for reference: Maintenance-Care-guide-after-mulching
UPDATED June 2023: Welcome to Connecticut-Starts every spring and summer we get the calls for overgrown properties this time of year with last year’s rain and now spring is here seeing invasive weeds and vines like in the photos below. What we recommend is to have the areas sprayed first and then the crew will come in a few weeks later and do selective brush cutting and weed whacking to cleanup areas and mulch. Some areas with extensive poison ivy, poison oak or sumac need to be addressed separately and treated by chemical spraying since this is hazardous to our crews and their equipment. Then afterwards having the client spray it again to maintain these wood line areas and keep vegetation under control. Here’s an article on the top invasive vines we see each season: Invasive Vines CT
Myth on using Landscape Weed Fabric (AKA Landscaper’s gold) and why for over 30 years we do not recommend it to our clients. Just like this article says we often get asked to remove it from properties every year. Click HERE for article.
Weed Control 101
STEP ONE: First up is controlling the weeds you can see growing in your landscape, walkways or walls with a spray for killing live weeds. We recommend using either Roundup Weed Killer or Natria Weed Killer by Bayer or Avenger Organic Weed Killer and there are a number of different kinds depending on what you are looking to get rid of so do your homework and read instructions and use as directed.
Both Roundup and Natria with Root Killer is absorbed by the leaves of the weed/plant and then with sun and warm temperatures the weed will start to die from within all the way to the roots. Then you can just remove or put topsoil or mulch on top of the area as it decomposes. “Work smarter not harder” as Ron the owner likes to say lol.
Believe me It’s a lot easier to pull a dead weed that releases its roots from the soil than a live one that is still clinging on for dear life. After it rains is a great time for pulling weeds as gardeners can attest 🙂
Here is a note from specialist Dave Schwarm of Green Meadow Lawn Care and who is a CT Licensed Ornamental and Turf Supervisor that has been using Roundup by following the directions, wearing protective gear and applying on a dry day with minimal wind: Is Roundup Safe to Use on My Property?
For those of you that still have reservations about using Roundup around children or pets due to all the negative media and controversy that is out there, then I would suggest using the Organic Avenger line of weed control products. It is made out of citrus oils and burns the plant. You may have to use more of it or apply more often but if it gives you piece of mind and takes care of the weeds then go for it. I use this in my yard around my foundation/patio and Roundup for woodline away from house. I order it online (concentrated liquid) to mix with water in a sprayer from Home Depot so easy to apply. The only other recommendation would be good old fashion hand pulling as long as you have the time and patience. But again, pulling live weeds just brings back more but I have heard it’s a gardener’s form of therapy to relieve stress 🙂
Also Check out this article 10 Alternatives to Roundup from Moms Across America. Remember that even if you’re using alternative herbicides, your neighbor may not be. Gardeners, landscapers, and conventional farms could be spraying miles away from your home, but drift could still be impacting your air, water, and soil.
STEP TWO: Weed Pre-Emergent and Preventer: This was something I found many years ago that was a gardener’s secret to keeping their vegetable beds weed free. Preen Weed Preventer is a pre-emergent granule that you sprinkle on soil or mulch, or can sweep into cracks along walks, driveways, or walls and it conditions the area so that new weeds do not grow. How Preen Works Video
Again it works to prevent new weeds and does absolutely nothing to the live green weeds you have. I mention this because I did have a client many years ago that called up complaining that he had put down 4 buckets of the Preen in his beds and the weeds were still there. I asked if he had sprayed weed killer first and he said no I forgot about that part. Preen works by releasing a little bit of itself when activated by water or rain and creates a barrier that works for about 8 to 12 weeks depending on the type you get. Then you reapply again to keep working for another 2-3 months. Click below to identify some of the most common weeds in our area:
Weed Torches: This is also an option depending on location of weeds. Many of our clients have walkways, patios, driveways and stone areas around beds or pools that require additional maintenance especially if you live near a wood line or your mowing company is not blowing the clippings out of the landscaping. Here is a quick info if you’re curious about this chemical free alternative and I remind folks to stay away from vinyl siding, dry mulch, plastic or exposed weed mat or fabric-basically anything that is flammable or can melt 🙂
And lastly, for those of you that live in areas surrounded by woods and thus must battle the yearly bugs like aphids, spider mites, tent caterpillars, and Japanese beetles (just to name a few) here is a product that I recommend for roses and other flowering shrubs to help them battle and recover from these pesky critters. Bayer All in One is spread around the base of the shrub and covered with mulch and works systematically for the next 8-10 weeks and assists the shrub to better protect itself from insects and disease. I use it twice a year on my roses.
Too busy and looking for a company to take care of your lawn fertilization, control weeds in your plantings and apply mosquito or tick applications in your yard? Check out Green Scene out of Manchester or Safe Lawns and Landscapes out of Salem CT. They take care of a number of our clients’ properties and have alternative solutions based on your particular lawn and landscape needs.
If you have any questions, you can also feel free to contact me directly and we can discuss your particular needs over the phone. If your landscape is out of control and needs some TLC give us a call and we can give you an estimate to get it back in check so it’s Picture Perfect again 🙂 Kim

EDEN RESEARCH PLC
("Eden" or "Company")
Submission of DAR for 3AEY by CRD
Eden Research plc, a leading UK agrochemical development company, today announces that it has been informed
by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate ("CRD") that the review of the Draft Assessment Report ("DAR") for
the Company's lead product, 3AEY, and its three active components, has been completed and submitted to the
European Foods Safety Authority ("EFSA"). The CRD has recommended that Eden undertakes an additional assay
study as some EU member states may require it for national approval and, in order to expedite sales of
Eden's product, this will be done in the next few months.
The submission of the DAR to EFSA triggers a milestone payment of £38,000 by one of Eden's licensees,
Environmental Solutions North Africa Limited, under the licensing agreement.
The completion of the review by CRD is a major step forward in the route to full commercialisation of 3AEY,
a terpene based fungicide. Terpenes are natural compounds which function as defence mechanisms in many
plant groups and are released in response to infection, stress or mechanical injury. Their natural disease
control has been acknowledged for some time, but it is Eden's unique patented encapsulation process of
3AEY, which allows the slow release of terpenes, that forms the revolutionary aspect of this treatment. The
specific application covered by the DAR is for the control of the fungal disease, botrytis, in grape vines.
Botrytis is a widespread fungal problem that causes "grey mould" on fruits and vegetables, often arising
late in the growing cycle and leading to the rapid reduction in marketable yield and lower quality of
crops. Annual worldwide expenditure on fungicides to control botrytis is typically c.$300m.
The announcement of this "green" development is especially important and timely as the new regulatory
controls on EU pesticides are expected to significantly reduce the already diminished arsenal of control
chemicals available to farmers and growers.
Once the DAR is received by EFSA, the process of gaining national registrations for sale can commence.
Prior to full EU approval, individual countries may issue 'provisional approval' for use. Such provisional
approval, subject to the territory, would allow sales of 3AEY to begin through Eden's existing EU
licensees. It will also benefit our current licensees in other territories, particularly in North Africa
(Environmental Solutions) and East Africa (Lachlan Kenya) where crops are being grown for export to the EU.
Clive Newitt, Managing Director of Eden Research, said:
"The submission of the DAR represents a major milestone in the approval process for our lead product, 3AEY.
This not only paves the way for the commercialisation of 3AEY, but also provides a very firm footing for
the registration of further products from our pipeline as they are based upon the same active substances in
different combinations and ratios.
Our products offer viable alternative methods of controlling damaging pests and diseases which can be fully
incorporated into Integrated Crop Management programmes and thereby minimise future resistance problems."

Blood, sweat and tears … yes, making a movie is quite a long and demanding process, but rewarding in the end.
I am happy to present to you the first short documentary movie I ever made… with of course the help of a very good filmmaker.
You want to learn more about the project on tea I am working on and the way Vredeseilanden links farmers to markets, or you want to visit Vietnam and want to get an idea of what the people and the landscape look like, please take 10′ to sit back, relax and enjoy the film!
I came across this interesting documentary “The last farmer” by Giuliano Girelli. It talks about the big challenges we are facing today in a globalised world ever more dominated by multinationals neither concerned about the environment or poor people’s access to food. Working in Vietnam or elsewhere on sustainable agricultural value chain development through supporting smallscale farmers it is nice to see this film as it again confirms the importance of our work.
Farmers produce food for 70% of the planet’s population, whereas industrial agriculture covers no more than 30% of it. Nonetheless 2.8 million people in the world live on less than 2 dollars a day. Most of these people are farmers or ex-farmers who now live in shanty towns of one of the big cities of the world. This documentary is about them, about globalization and therefore also about us.
The Last Farmer explores the dramatic consequences of neoliberalism and globalization on the lives of small farmers in the world.
Not long after our Christmas and New Year’s celebrations Tet arrived, Vietnam’s most longed-for and biggest annual holiday. The Lunar New Year, Tet 2012 welcomed the year of the Dragon on the 23rd of January, a very special year, as the dragon is the only mythical creature on the lunar calendar, which has the potential to breathe life-changing fire, to be magical, even mythical.

Het is opvallend hoe we spontaan geuren associëren met ervaringen, herinneringen, plaatsen etc. Ik beaam nu dat Azië een zeer aparte geur heeft, best te beschrijven als een vochtige mengeling van dampende Pho (noodle soep), look, stof, uitlaatgassen, en een vleugje jasmijn, dat je af en toe aangenaam verrast. De warme, vochtige Hanoi-lucht mag nog binnen, wetende dat we ze binnen enkele weken omruilen voor de airco.

Category Archives: Life in the garden 2015
It is March 31, 2015, spring is here and signs of life have begun to pop up in the garden. It is neat to go out and walk around and see the different vegetables that were planted early on, are now showing signs of life to start the season. Yay we love this time of season, it is just wonderful to be outdoors and enjoying the Lords goodness of today !!!!

If there is one crop that is the queen of the garden, it is the tomato. These are the fruits you wait so long for, care for, pamper, boast about or get anxious about. How you are as a gardener often is reflected on your tomatoes. Gardeners strive to have the biggest, prettiest, sweetest, and most productive tomatoes. All this enthusiasm is well justified. These versatile red globes find their way into family secret sauce, flaming salsa and mouth watering BLTs. So when it becomes tomato time, there are usually quire a few happy people.
I love the varieties of tomatoes that available today. Hybrids, Heirlooms, open pollinated, determinate, indeterminate, cheery, pear, beefsteak, heart shaped, red, pink, yellow, orange, white, ribbed smooth, paste and the list goes on an on. It can be daunting picking out varieties to try each year.
This weeks share has tomatoes. Both small snacking cherry and some larger beefsteak plus extras if you desire. The cherries are a mix of brown berry, bumble bee, and Juliet. In addition there are a couple garden peach and Japanese Trifle Black in the bag. For the larger ones, there is a mix. The beautiful orange ones are Kellogg’s Breakfast. There might be a pink Soldacki, brownish Chocolate Striped, an Aunt Ruby’s Green or some purple ones named Carbon. While some varieties tent to be more flavorful than others, I really think each year a different tomato comes out on top. Years ago my Yellow Mortgage lifter were the best tasting tomato ever, last year, not so much. Usually Kellogg’s breakfast is good and this year is no exception. The Japanese Black are excellent this year but two years ago they never developed any flavor. I guess that is why I plant so many. You never know what is going to be better on any particular year so I always try to have a variety.
Also included into the box is a bundle of kale, flat leaf parsley, beets, carrots, garlic, onions, a bell pepper, fennel bulbs, watermelon radishes, potatoes, cucumbers (Marketmore 76 and Russian Sikkim).
The next few days will filled with the start of the State Fair the start of the Fair. While it is a busy time it is a fun time and I always enjoy the change of pace and the the opportunity to tour around the Horticulture building.

4″ Site Plug for Aeroflo System Square Chamber Hydroponic Systems.
When you need your system running and need to replace sites with new clones or simply aren’t using all available spaces. Use site plugs to cap off those sites and continue growing with the rest of your system. These plugs fit perfectly into the site and remove the chance for any water to escape or light exposure to your nutrient solution.
Plugs also protect grow chambers and nutrient solution from contamination by dust and debris. Keep your system running clean.
We do not recommend using anything other than site plugs to cap unused sites as you run the risk of damaging the system components.

At Fall Creek, we have several product options for our nursery customers who want to grow their own material. The easiest approach to determining which product is best suited to you is to simply decide what size you want for your finished product. Then consider how quickly you want to turn your finished product.
Our easy-to-follow Fall Creek Growing Program outlined below will give you valuable insight on each of our products. We highlight the most typical growing programs for each size and recommend what sizes are most typically grown from that starter size. We also recommend when to transplant and how long it generally takes to get to the finished size. There are certainly variations to these programs, but what we provide here are the most common models that we know bring highly successful and profitable results to our customers.
If you have additional questions or would like help planning your own growing program, please call our very knowledgable sales team. They stand ready to help you create a custom and profitable blueberry growing program.

Our 38 cells are a relatively new and very popular product designed for quick success. This bigger format is perfect for shifting for a fast crop or right into larger containers for a same season finished grade. The deep root system plug is loaded with energy for a fast, full finish.

The garden pre planning made everything run smoothly and the willingness of several people made it all happen. UPS sent a large team, the Master Gardeners offered their expertise and the Retail Employees worked side by side with both groups to get almost all of seeds planted, the plants from Bergmann’s Greenhouse planted, and fencing in place in just about 2 hours. This is a record for getting the garden in and planted. One we can be very proud of.
The hands of many far out perform the work of a few in half the time. We can't thank our partners enough for their hard work, willingness to work as a team and eagerness to make it all happen. - Joy Grognet

This can be a normal occurrence, and is no cause for concern. It does need roughly 12 weeks of a rest period after the blooms fade in order to flower again. That just means only water it enough to keep it alive, and not feeding during this time. After the rest period, you can go on as usual with feeding and watering.

The market for shine skin pumpkinseed kernels is still moving up slowly this week. [swpm_protected visible_to=”logged_in_users_only” custom_msg=’This content is for members only. Please login or sign up now.’] The current raw material price at origin is about CNY16.2/kg. It seems that the market is calming down now, but the problem is that most traders are holding back the raw material for now and keep waiting until the sowing of the new crop is finished, then pushing the market price up further. Everyone knows that the seeding area for the new crop will be smaller than last year. This should lead to further price increases in the coming months and the new crop should remain expensive. Currently, it looks like the prices for shine skin pumpkin seeds are too high to be accepted by foreign buyers anymore and the freight costs also remain very high. For this reason, the demand from overseas customers is very weak. From the Chinese domestic market, we see an increasing demand. This should pick up further in the second half of the year when roasters start buying the raw material for the Lunar Festival.
Prices for GWS pumpkin seeds also continue to rise. Raw material that was still purchased by processors at favorable prices has now been sold off, forcing sellers to adjust their prices upward from week to week. Currently, there are still about 2000 mt of raw material in the market, which is not very much. The only thing that could stop the market from further price increases is the already very high price level and the weak demand. However, as soon as demand picks up, prices are likely to rise again.
Container freight rates remain at unprecedented levels of around $5200 USD for a 20′ container and $9900 USD for a 40′ container from China to Europe.

Trowel and Error
By Alissa Dornink
There are twelve days before the start of spring as I’m writing this, and I’m watching it snow as we’re under another yet another winter weather advisory. The last weekend of milder weather had gotten my hopes up that we had moved on from the snowiest parts of winter, even though I’ve lived through enough seasons to know better. I had even gotten out in my back yard and made progress cleaning up some of the rogue sticks and leaves and filled in some of the holes the dog has dug. I kept staring at my garden while doing that, making and revising plans for when it gets warm (the first step being dog-proof it). I’m getting better at keeping things alive, but I need all the help I can get. I don’t want to constantly bother my green-thumbed friends, so I’ve relied on a few good books from the library.
I really liked Derek Fell's "Grow This! A Garden Expert's Guide to Choosing the Best Vegetables, Flowers, and Seeds So You're Never Disappointed Again." This sounds highly technical, but is surprisingly straightforward and informative. The beginning has an in-depth coverage of the basics of plant care and covers a wide scope of plants and flowers. "Grow This!" is another useful book for anyone interested in gardening, whether it's raising a window box of marigolds or acres of produce. The majority of the book is dedicated to providing detailed—but not overly complex—information about a wide variety of vegetables, annuals, perennials, and grasses. Each entry includes a recommended variety; some history and trivia; things to watch out for; and a plant profile that includes zone, propagation tips, planting guidelines, pest and disease control, and companion plants.
I don’t have a giant plot, which is why I really like "All New Square Foot Gardening" by Mel Bartholomew. It shows you how to maximize every last inch of what you have to make the best use of your garden space. Bartholomew walks you step by step through his process for setting up a grid-based raised garden that's only six inches deep, easily accessible from all sides, and best of all requires very minimal weeding. Everything is clearly laid out and explained with full color illustrations.
Now all I need is the weather to cooperate so I can move forward with my plans—before I change my mind on what to plant!


Fragrant spring tea in season
Source：Liuzhou Daily Date：2021-02-04 15:00
Recently, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County held opening events for spring tea-leaf picking at Buyang Tea Park in Bajiang Town, so as to promote Sanjiang’s early spring tea. It invited representatives of famous tea enterprises and tea experts in Guangxi to gather in Sanjiang to taste Sanjiang’s early spring tea, promoting tea industry to improve quality and efficiency, and boosting Sanjiang to achieve industrial revitalization.
Sanjiang has a natural environment with the reputation of “high mountain, cloud and mist bring good tea” and is internationally recognized as a “golden tea area”. According to Wu Ronghua, a villager in Buyang Village, driven by tourism, the sales volume of Sanjiang’s early spring tea this year has been quite good, with the price of 1,600 yuan to 2,400 yuan per kilogram and an additional income of about 10 thousand yuan per mu per year. This year, Sanjiang took the opportunity of the picking event for early spring tea to further promote the building of comprehensive demonstration county of e-commerce in the rural area. With online and offline promotion, it organized companies to do live streaming and offer tea delivery, continue to enrich tea culture and enhance the influence of its early spring tea.


Haa valley is about 3 hours drive from Paro vai beautiful chelela pass or vai Chuzom. It was open in 2004 for the tourist. There are not many hotels but a good number of farmhouses and homestays.
It's at the elevation of 2700 meters and shares a border with Tibet (China). Most of the people here depend on Yaks and Cattles and migrate to the lower part of the valley in winter. They grow buckwheat and barley as main crops. But the lower part of the district grows cardamom and oranges as cash crops.


The first among the variants is the Coffee Dark Castile. For our love of coffee, the way it wakes us up during mornings, and how it makes us jumpstart our day, we thought we'd carry that over in the shower.

There's no changes in the prices of our locally made castile soaps. As for the essential oils there's been some updates on the pricing. The Philippine Essential Oils are also updated, but bigger volumes will definitely save you a lot.
Us here at Casa de Lorenzo, makers of Liquid Castile Soap in the Philippines, are brewing something that will change the way everyone will wake up to mornings. We know that coffee is an important part of our every day life, and we've seen how coffee has been a distinct part of our history back in the Spanish days so we've decided to make coffee enjoyable as well in our products.
Did you know that the Philippines used to be a top producer of coffee in the world? Our country used to grow Liberica coffee, known to produce bigger beans and stronger coffee aroma and flavor, thus the "Kapeng Barako" name was coined to the coffee grown in the southern part of Luzon.
Watch out very soon for the newest addition to our natural products.

* Family Generations:
I am the second generation, I am in the field since I was little, since my father has dedicated his whole life to coffee production
* What were the good practices that you implemented that made it the winner of the Cup of Excellence program?
Good agronomic management in the field of coffee, good harvesting, good management of wet and dry processing, and thanks to the recommendations given to me by people familiar with the specialty coffee sector.
* How does it feel to be one of the winners?
I feel very happy because that means a good incentive that I will obtain, both of prices and prestige and recognition of my farm abroad as a producer of specialty coffee.
* In what will you invest the profits you obtain from the cup of excellence?
In making improvements in the farm, focus on quality with better nutrition of the plantations and thus maintain the quality obtained.
* Had you participated in the Cup of Excellence program before?
I had already participated, getting places like 11 in 2014.
* What do you think of the cup of excellence program?
It is a good option since it comes to benefit us with differentiated prices, more as small producers, this makes us have an extra income and one is not waiting for stock prices that today are below the production costs.

The role of pathogen effector proteins in altering host plant transcription
Tetlow, Mary Louise
mesheuropmc: food and beverages | fungi
Plant pathogens secrete effector proteins in order to overcome immunity in plants stimulated by common microbial patterns. The genomes of oomycete pathogens including Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) are predicted to contain a large number of effectors. These experiments focussed on characterising an interaction between predicted Hpa effector HaRxL14 and Arabidopsis protein phosphatase type-2CA (PP2CA), which functions as a co-receptor in response to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). This interaction was previously identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation experiments verified an interaction in the nucleus. Over-expression of the effector in planta enhances susceptibility of Arabidopsis to Hpa, although knocking-out PP2CA in the host did not have a clear effect on infection. Furthermore, a potential role for the interaction in enhancing host signalling associated with ABA was highlighted from microarray analysis of Arabidopsis lines over-expressing the effector. The up-regulation of various ABA-related genes supports previous findings that ABA may disrupt host response to biotrophic pathogens.\ud \ud Furthermore, it was hypothesised that phytohormones including jasmonic acid (JA), ABA, and salicylic acid (SA) could have a role in coordinating host transcription at the level of chromosome conformation. Progress was made towards optimising a method for use with Arabidopsis related to chromosome conformation capture (3C). These experiments began to examine the spatial interactions of JA-induced genes in Arabidopsis. This method could be used to determine if related genes co-localise at specialised transcription factories. These transcription factories have previously been studied in other models including mammals, although their potential role in plants is currently not well understood. Overall, a Hpa effector was shown to interact with host protein PP2CA potentially to up-regulate ABA-related genes. It remains to be established if phytohormones have a role in coordinating transcription through manipulating spatial interactions of genes.

Because so many of our customers grow Amaryllis every year and don't need more containers, we offer most Amaryllis varieties "bareroot," or unpotted. Our Amaryllis bulbs are the top size commercially available and will deliver a sensational winter display, most with two stems bearing up to 4 blooms each. Please note that some varieties naturally make smaller bulbs.
Amaryllis bulbs are easy to pot, and require only strong light, water, and warm temperatures to flower. See our complete Amaryllis growing guide here.
We are sorry, there are no items currently in this category. We are constantly updating our website and we will have more top-quality items soon.


Black box of the Soil – Subterranean Symbioses
Although little known, the roots of almost every plant in the Australian landscape are intimately entwined with fungi. These relationships extend beyond trees to include every orchid and most shrubs and grasses. Symbioses are the secret to success in our highly variable climate and nutrient-deficient soils.
Fungi not only help plants access water and nutrients, but also increase their resistance to drought and disease. They build architecture in soils, aerate them and allow water to gently percolate to deeper horizons. As some of the first colonisers of disturbed environments, fungi play an important role in restoration and revegetation. We are in an exciting transitional time as thinking and practices around fungi and ecosystem health become better appreciated. Innovative farmers, gardeners and landcarers are looking for ways to encourage fungi in their local landscapes.
This workshop begins with an interactive session around a table full of local fungi to learn the basics of fungus identification. We will then venture into the field to search for fungi of interest.
Participants are encouraged to bring fungi along to the workshop for identification. Supplementary notes will be provided.
Signed copies of Alison’s recent book, The Allure of Fungi, will be available for purchase.

Finca Santa Margarita is the family farm of Camila Topke, one of our trading partners and a member of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance. In May, I visited Guatemala and learned firsthand the challenges Guatemalan producers are experiencing. Founded in 1838 by Camila’s great grandfather, Thomas Wyld, Santa Margarita is now 2,320 hectares––812 of which are coffee farms with Caturra, Sarchimor, Catimor, and Geisha varieties. Santa Margarita is committed to serving the community and environmental sustainability––the surrounding natural forest and wildlife are preserved. The farm houses an elementary school for children, a church, and a health clinic on-site. The majority of the farm’s operators are women––from coffee pickers to running the grafting program, school, and health clinic.
Cupping notes: Milk chocolate, light citrus, caramel, brown sugar, honey; bright acidity.

While I was out, the ‘maters came in
Good Evening, dear reader, yeah, you read that right. I picked a bushel and a half of some of the best tomatoes today. The frost came, and we rather much forgot about them, and yesterday I noticed a lot of red out there in the north garden. When I mentioned this to Wifey, she said, “Well we better pick em”.
“We” (indeed) we ought to pick them ‘maters,,,
They were real beauties, well, a lot of them were mooshy and went to the chickens. The other bushel and a half were fed through the squeezo strainer. And now the whole house has that wonderful tomato-sauce-is-reducing-kinda aroma.
And tomorrow we will can another batch of tomato sauce. The latest batch evar.


Q.Trying to Find Plant Name
We were at a garden fest yesterday in Melbourne, Florida. There was a tent set up selling mostly “butterfly” attracting plants. There were some viney looking plants on trellises that were a bit more pricey that we could pay. They had light purple or maybe blueish tiny flowers. We both bought the smaller versions with no flowers and would love to know name so we know where to plant, type of care, soil etc.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
I am leaning towards Clerodendrum ugandense or Butterfly Pea Vine. Take a look at those two and let me know if either one of those may be it. If not, I will keep looking.
