Ethiopia may be the birthplace of coffee, but is it a complex country when it comes to regions and identification. Coffee can be identified in various ways, including region, zone, processing mill or simply by a local name.
Located in the Guji Zone of the Oromia Region, this town has an elevation of 1900 meters above sea level. It lies within the Sidamo region. Coffees from this region typically have strong berry aromatics with orange acidity and caramel chocolate sweetness.
Coffee producers deliver their ripe cherries to the Testi Trading coffee mill station where the cherries are sorted and dried.
The natural process of this coffee allows the bean to have a long contact time with the fruit, as the cherry is dried for 15-18 days. This gives the coffee its sweet, fruit flavour that many of us have come to recognise, and love.
This coffee exhibits the classic flavour profile of Ethiopia that we all love. Refreshing fruitiness of blueberries and lovely orange citrusy sweetness, finish with a juicy sweet aftertaste. A wonderful after lunch cuppa to keep the day going.

Corn: Corn futures traded firmly at Monday’s close. Friday’s mistaken early release of the FSA acreage data from farm programs apparently robbed the official report’s release of its bullish impact, since corn futures backed away from early morning highs. The weekly Export Inspections report seemed rather disappointing, but fund buying reportedly supported the market through the day. March corn futures closed up 1.0 cent to $4.085/bushel Monday, while July inched 1.0 higher to $4.225.
Soybeans: The NOPA Crush report depressed the soy complex. The FSA acreage total for soybeans also seemed quite supportive, since it suggested the USDA will lower its official harvested acreage total in January. But traders couldn’t sustain the bullish momentum from the premature release last Friday. Moreover, the November crush figure from today’s NOPA report also disappointed industry bulls, which exerted increased pressure on prices. January soybean futures fell 7.75 cents to $10.395/bushel in late Monday action, while January soyoil sagged 0.09 to 32.27 cents/pound, and January meal lost $1.6 to $365.4/ton.
Wheat: The Russian situation apparently spurred wheat market buying. The Russian ruble come under sharp early-week pressure, which many traders suspect will cause the Putin government to restrict wheat exports in order to control surging domestic inflation. Russian exporters are reportedly pushing wheat as quickly as possible, which would normally be a bearish development, but traders seemingly think that means export restrictions are coming. The Inspections report was supportive as well. March CBOT wheat rallied 12.5 cents to $6.19/bushel late Monday afternoon, while March KC wheat jumped 12.75 cents to $6.47/bushel and March MWE wheat surged 11.75 to $6.325.
Cattle: The midsession beef rebound did little to support cattle futures. News of sizeable cash and wholesale losses exerted considerable downward pressure upon cattle futures last week. Moreover, Friday’s big wholesale losses probably exacerbated fears about forthcoming demand strength, which weighed heavily upon CME futures again today. News of a sizeable midday beef rebound only modestly reduced the selling pressure. February live cattle dipped 0.42 cents to 161.75 cents/pound at Monday’s CME close, while April skidded 0.30 to 161.10. January and March feeder cattle futures again plunged the 3.00-cent daily limit to 222.60 and 218.25 cents/pound, respectively.
Hogs: The hog and pork complex came back from early lows. Although the wholesale pork markets proved quite strong last Friday, the ongoing breakdown in cattle and feeder futures, as well as recent cash market slippage, continue weighing on hog futures at today’s opening. However, midsession news of another wholesale rise largely reversed the early losses. February hog futures ended Monday having edged up 0.02 cents to 83.27 cents/pound, while June hogs added 0.10 cents to 91.25.


The region around Sonogi (Nagasaki prefecture, Japan) is best known for tamaryokucha. Tamaryokucha (“ball-green tea”) is a sencha whose leaves are not needle-shaped but curled and sometimes rolled into small balls, due to the special way of rolling during the drying process. Sonogi tea farmers are experimenting with new teas, both new cultivars (varieties of the tea plant) and black or oolong teas.
This Special Tamaryokucha is a blend of the Sonogi Six Senses collection, curated by master blender Kenichiro Nagao in Nagasaki, Japan. Nagao was at Evermore in February 2020 to present new tea varieties and talk more about the age-old tea tradition in Japan.

It’s February, the heart of the winter. Today is going to be nearly sixty degrees in southern Delaware so I would like to take a nice walk in the state park.
But no way! I’ve got roses to prune. Winter is a good time to take care of the roses. Prune off the previous year’s growth. You can go way back to just above the wood of the cane. I also like to take a close look at our clients’ trees and shrubs for storm damage and disease. It’s a great time to prune, prune, prune. Don’t be afraid to spend a couple of bucks and call in an arborist for a consult, especially if you have large trees near your house.
Another item I’m checking off my list is the almighty soil test. You can pick a kit up at the cooperative extension office. Here in Delaware, the university takes care of it for $12. You just bring them the soil and fill out the information card. The soil test results will be your ultimate guide to creating the perfect environment for growing. It will include recommendations based on different crops’ requirements. Do you burn wood? Those ashes are a great source of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium that you can use in your garden. Just remember to check your soil test first.
So after you’ve got your pruning done, maybe you head indoors and warm up. Check out all your houseplants. I hope you have some houseplants; they help to detoxify indoor air and add brightness and life to dull winter days. The dry of winter can be tough on them. Keep the leaves clean and disease free. Don’t overwater them and fertilize lightly. If you need to, move them around so they can get more light this time of year.
If you haven’t already, order your seeds, because it will be time to sow them very soon. We already have babies growing in the greenhouse. Sketch out your garden and plan what will go where. If things didn’t grow perfectly last year, change things up. Add something new to your garden. Variety is the spice of life! Make improvements to make garden upkeep easier; remember that your garden should be your place of relaxation and it should be enjoyable! Let us know if you have any specific questions so we can help you get the most out of your garden!
If those don’t keep you busy enough, check out the master gardeners and see if they have any classes coming up. Winter is a good time to brush up on knowledge. Stay sharp, like your pruners!
And remember to get outside as much as possible! We get random lucky beautiful days in February so take advantage of them by going outside and breathing in the fresh air. It will make the days of cabin fever more tolerable and the days until spring go much faster!


New Delhi: India’s annual monsoon, vital for the near-trillion dollar economy, will hit the coast of southern Kerala state one week earlier than scheduled, a weather official said on Monday.
“The forecast is for an early onset of monsoon. It is likely to hit the Kerala coast one week earlier than scheduled date of 1 June around 24 May,” an official at the Indian Meteorological Department told Reuters.
The monsoon rains arrived over the South Andaman Sea on 10 May, also a week earlier than usual.
There is on average a gap of two weeks between the monsoon’s arrival there and the breaking of another branch over Kerala. Different atmospheric conditions determine the progress of the two systems.
The weather office said last month that this year’s monsoon rains were likely to be 95% of the long-term average, with a 5% margin of error.
The June-September monsoon provides the main source of water for agriculture, which generates more than a fifth of the country’s gross domestic product.
Farming and related activity provide a livelihood to more than two-thirds of India’s 1.1 billion people, and good rains usually spur rural spending on a wide range of industrial products, from soap to motorcycles.
Healthy rains helped the economy to expand at an average of over 8.5% over the past three years -- behind only China among major economies.

Raipur. Amidst the race for the chair between Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and State Health Minister T S Singhdeo, Baghel on Sunday said that the presence of the head of the state is sufficient. Baghel stated this while replying to queries of journalists during a press conference in Bemetara on Sunday.
When asked about the absence of Bemetara district In-charge Minister T S Singhdeo during his visit, Chief Minister Baghel said he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. “When the head of a state is present, there is no need of In-charge Minister,” Baghel said.
Earlier, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had said that the income of farmers, labourers, and forest dwellers, in particular, increased due to the effective implementation of various welfare schemes.
During his Bemetara trip on Sunday, Chief Minister Baghel said that farmers are receiving incentives for their Kharif crops under Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana.
The state government has so far done commendable work in the health, education, agriculture sectors. The introduction of the Swami Atmanand English Medium School scheme is a revolutionary decision taken by the state government for improving the standard of education in the state, said the Chief Minister. This scheme is being appreciated by one and all. Children in large numbers are seeking admission to this School, he added.
When Congress came to power in 2018, the state had around 1300 doctors, and now the number has increased to 4000. Health infrastructures are have improved, said Baghel.
Baghel said that the State government has inaugurated a power generation project from cow dung in the Bemetara district and this project would prove beneficial for the people of the state. The Congress government has launched Godhan Nyay Yojana, and under this cow-dung is being procured from cattle breeders of the state. Vermicompost is being manufactured in the Gothans of the state. Today, Chhattisgarh is moving towards organic farming, and it will be helpful to improve soil health, he said.
The Chief Minister said that local farmers and unemployed people would get adequate employment opportunities, and the State government is taking the initiative to set up industry in the district. Baghel said that two ethanol plants would be set up in the future in the Bemetara district. The Chief Minister also counted various other achievements of the Congress government.
Home Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu, Agriculture Minister Ravindra Choubey and MLA Ashish Chhabda and District Congress Committee President Bansilal Patel were also present at the press conference.


The Fairfax County farmers markets opened for the season last week – offering in-season fresh produce and all kinds of other homemade goodies. The Wakefield Market, in the parking lot at Wakefield Park in Annandale happens on Wednesday afternoons 2-6 p.m. The Annandale Market, at Mason District Park on Columbia Pike is open Thursday mornings, 8-noon.
Here are some tips based on what we found on a visit to the Wakefield market last week:
(1) Pick up a fresh bunch of asparagus from Lois’ Produce. Also in season now: huge spring onions, gerbera daisies, and strawberries, which are three weeks earlier than usual, due to the warm weather in March, says vendor Bill Grigsby.
|Aspargus from Lois' Produce.|
|Fresh juice blends from Kiwi Kuisine.|
They’ve also got freshly blended juices, such as “red dragon” (beets, apple, kale, cranberry, and lime), and ice cream, including passion fruit and “hokey pokey” (vanilla with honeycomb toffee). Kiwi Kuisine was founded by Bert “Ram” Todd, a Maori rugby player now playing and coaching rugby in D.C.

News 12 This Morning, March 6, 2009
GILBERT, SC-- Giving back is something Charles Jumper lives for. Charles has been farming his whole life. He grows everything from collard greens, rutabagas, squash, cucumbers, zucchini, butter beans, blueberries, and blackberries.
"If you have a talent to produce something and if you have excess, then it's your God-given talent to share that with other people," Charles Jumper said.
And he does just that. A year ago, Charles started giving away some of his crops and working with Society of Saint Andrew- Gleaning America's Fields- Feeding America's Hungry. They're a non-profit organization and their mission is to end hunger.
"That's the great thing about this program is we try to get the food straight to the needs of the people and it's often on the supper table by dinner time," South Carolina Gleaning Coordinator, Debbie Riley said.
Volunteers cut the collard greens, clean them, and pick off any bad leaves.
They'll also take rutabagas. In all Charles gives away 1,000 pounds of food for free.
"A lot of times when I go through the field and I throw down a food product that people can use with just a bad spot on it or a bruise, and it's a shame that it has to go into the garbage or back into the soil, when it can go back to somebody and feed their needs," Jumper said.
He says these are all good products, but they just don't look perfect, and that means 15-20% of his crops are wasted.
"All the farmers have a lot of excess, I mean stuff that they just can't sell because of the over abundant supply or because it's not the perfect type product," Jumper said.
The volunteers will distribute the food throughout Gilbert and take it to a food bank in Columbia. Riley says they've also gleaned fields in Barnwell, Bamburg, and Denmark, and some of that produce has been given to the Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta. Riley says their goal is to get more farmers involved from the Aiken and Edgefield area.

Global oilseeds output is projected to extend 5 per cent next season (September 2021-August 2020) primarily from a development in soyabean production within the United States and South America, in response to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Global soyabean production, particularly, is projected to extend 23 million tonnes (mt) or six per cent to 386 mt. India’s soyabean output is predicted to extend 750,000 tonnes to 11.2 mt in contrast with 10.45 mt this season.
“Given the prevailing costs for soyabean within the global and home markets, farmers in India will increase protection in oilseeds, significantly soyabean,” stated BV Mehta, Executive Director, Solvent Extractors Association of India (SEA).
On Wednesday, probably the most lively soyabean futures contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) elevated to a nine-year-high of $16.29 a bushel (₹44,050 a tonne ) because the market was fearful over tight provides.
The USDA report, nevertheless, had an impression on the home futures as soyabean June, July and August futures dropped almost one per cent. June futures had been final quoted at ₹7,465 a quintal on the NCDEX. Spot costs at Indore had been quoted at ₹7,875 a quintal on Wednesday, in response to NCDEX information.
Oilseeds space to rise
“Area beneath different oilseeds similar to groundnut may even improve. We see the protection of oilseed rising throughout kharif in addition to rabi sowing,” Mehta stated.
The USDA stated that barring groundnut and cottonseed, all different oilseeds production might rise to a decade’s excessive.
Oilseeds consumption is predicted to extend three per cent, the strongest annual rise since 2019-20 primarily led by consumption in China, which is rebuilding its pork sector that was hit by African swine fever in 2019.
The consumption is seen higher however the surge within the costs of oilseeds during the last couple of months.
China to drive commerce
The USDA stated that China could be the principle driver of oilseeds commerce, too. As a consequence, ending shares would solely be marginally higher than the present season. Beijing can also be anticipated to drive oilmeal demand, primarily by means of offtake of protein meals.
In view of the higher oilseeds production, global vegetable oils output is predicted to extend 4 per cent pushed by palm, sunflower and soyabean oils. Consumption of vegetable oils for meals is projected to increase 4 per cent by means of sunflower and olive oils, whereas industrial offtake might improve two per cent.
The USDA stated that development in soyabean production could possibly be restricted to the US and South America, significantly Brazil. Two-thirds of the acquire in soyabean output could be contributed by the US and Brazil as protection of the crop in these two nations is predicted to increase in view of costs topping the height seen in 2014.
China, then again, will contribute 60 per cent of the global soyabean commerce, whereas soyabean meal offtake would rise three per cent. China will make up 50 per cent of this, the US company stated.
India’s soyameal exports might prime 1.7 mt, decrease than this season however close to a five-year common. Its soya oil imports are anticipated to be regular at 3.7 mt. Oil imports could be tempered by higher home production and surging costs.
As regards India, the USDA forecasts higher sunflower production at 1.88 lakh tonnes (lt), in addition to regular cottonseed (12.31 mt) and rapeseed/mustard (8.5 mt) output. Groundnut production could possibly be decrease at six mt with whole oilseed production projected at 39.01 mt, marginally higher than this season’s 38.91 mt.
Oilmeal consumption has been pegged at 16.88 mt (16.27 mt this season), whereas protein meal consumption is seen at 14.46 mt (13.94 mt). Oil use in meals consumption is predicted to extend a tad to 21.98 mt (21.71 mt).
Overall, home edible oil consumption is projected at 22.77 mt (22.44 mt). This may even see edible oil imports rising marginally to 14.74 mt next season (14.57 mt), the USDA stated.
The company has projected whole oilseeds production at 632.23 mt. This will assist in production of 62.47 mt of soybean oil.
Palm oil output is forecast at 76.37 mt with India prone to import 8.7 mt of it. Rapeseed production is seen at 73.21 mt, sunflower at 21.15 mt and minor vegetable oils at 3.2 mt.
As regards ending shares, copra is seen dropping to 0.04 mt (0.05 mt this season) as additionally groundnut at 4.03 mt (4.52 mt) and rapeseed/mustard at 5.53 mt (5.79 mt). Cottonseed finish shares are seen up at 1.33 mt (1.12 mt), that of palm kernel at 0.24 mt (0.22 mt), sunflower at 2.37 mt (1.98 mt) and soyabean at 91.10 mt (86.55 mt).

Message from Todd Kline GPC Rep:
Hello fellow growers, during the last couple of years there has been an upsurge in popularity with bushel gourds. Many growing clubs have had discussions, articles in newsletters, and have been passing out seeds to their memberships.
Because of this interest the GPC would like to have a trial year this season. For this year bushel gourds will be allowed to be entered in the Master Gardener competition. It will be the seventh category and it will now be 5 of 7 to qualify instead of 5 of 6. This will help more growers qualify for this highly competitive contest.
Bushel gourds are widely adaptable and can do well in many growing climates. We know it is a little late in doing this but really there is no perfect time to do this with growers competing all over the world. Should Doug English’s world record of 279.5 pounds be beaten, a plaque and $250 prize will be awarded. If the interest continues to rise then they will become an official category next year.
The rules for heavy gourds will be posted on the GPC website shortly. Good luck to everyone this season!
2022 seed packs will be done by current member and Executive member Jeff Warner.
No seeds will be included in the pack unless individually packaged and labelled, (thank you!)
Patch Tour Notes
2022 Patch Tour is pending Ontario provincial and municpal Covid 19 restrictions. Further information will be made available as soon as possible.

The Central Bank of Nigeria said on Monday that it would institute pro-agricultural policies that would assist in reducing the huge amount spent annually on food imports.
The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, stated this during the Nigerian Agricultural Finance Conference held in Abuja.
He put the amount currently being spent on food imports at N630billion per annum, stating that with this huge amount, there was a need to put in place adequate policies to stimulate local production.
The apex bank governor lamented the limited flow of credit to the agriculture sector, stating that there was a need to unlock credit to the sector.
Providing statistics on the sector, the governor said the flow of credit to agriculture had been low, ranging from 1.67 per cent in 2010 to 3.72 per cent in 2014.
Similarly, Emefiele stated that budgetary allocations to the sector as a percentage of total federal budgets had been declining steadily from 3.59 per cent in 2010 to 1.77 per cent and 1.47 per cent in 2013 and 2014, respectively.
As a result of the low funding of the sector, he said the apex bank in 2009 took proactive steps to intervene in the sector by providing intervention funds.
He, however, lamented that despite the intervention of the bank, the progress by the sector had not been encouraging.
Emefiele said, “A number of policies, programmes, schemes and institutions have been introduced to drive our agricultural transformation, but progress has been held back by lack of synergy, consistency and continuity in efforts.
“Agricultural credit, though a necessary condition for catalysing the diversification of the Nigerian economy, is not a sufficient condition if it is not complemented by other drivers of growth like infrastructure, research and development, functional extension system and market access, etc.
“I want to assure you that the Central Bank of Nigeria will continue to institute pro-agricultural sector policies to totally reduce our food import bills, create jobs and diversify the economy.”
The CBN governor said the conference, with the theme, ‘Catalysing the diversification of Nigerian economy through effective agricultural finance’, aligned with the present national priority of attaining self-sufficiency in food production, stimulating non-oil exports and diversifying the economic.

After that we will still be open into the winter with informal hours- If we are around we will give you service. We also have a wonderful lot of really good watermelons right now. Andrew just hauled in three loads with the van. Daniel

Kay Gray bears medium to large (3.5 g), juicy, slightly crisp, tender berries. The relatively non-fragile, slimy skin is white to golden and has a sweet, fruity labrusca flavor.
Swenson describes the ‘Kay Gray’ cluster as small and compact, cylindrical and uniform, usually with a small shoulder. Again according to Swenson, ripening begins unevenly, but is complete at maturity. Cluster weight averages 0.21 lbs (5).
Kay Gray is described as being very vigorous and having a procumbent habit that does not require bunch thinning.
Kay Gray can make a neutral wine for the table or for blending, and in exceptional years, it can have a flowery nose and stand on its own as a varietal wine. It would be preferable to harvest Kay Gray between 16° and 18° Brix, before it is fully ripe (if left to ripen completely, it develops undesirable aromas for winemaking). It is important to avoid oxidation during the transformation of the fruit into wine.
The harvest season varies from late August to mid-September depending on the region.
Kay Gray’ is very hardy and generally seems to suffer little damage at winter temperatures down to -35° F. At extreme temperatures, such as -40° F, ‘Kay Gray’ has suffered damage at some sites, but not at others.
Use: Table grapes, wine and juice.

My palm tree trunk is very thin at the bottom compared to the top and every year it goes thinner as the tree grows is this normal?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
No. This is likely a fungal/bacterial infection. You can try applying dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur you may be able to correct this problem. Unfortunately, this tree may not survive, but it would be worth trying to save it.
I could also recommend adding potassium silicate to help strengthen the trunk, Just keep in mind that this effects the update of potassium. But if you aren't looking for it to flower then this should be no problem.


We are on our second week of Bluebird Garden's CSA and really enjoying our fresh veggies. I love it when my kids will eat lettuce right off the head.
The second week box. The cabbage and lettuce heads are huge!
The first week box, both the family share (left) and regular share (right). I was totally amazed by the variety of veggies in the first box.
We ended up giving our friends the share box and we are taking the family share box because we had originally planned on splitting a family share, but Shawn won a free share box. We are both getting an amazing deal this summer and I can't wait for the harvest events to begin.
I just checked our freezer and we only have a few frozen veggies left (mainly green beans and pumpkin) and one jar of salsa. I do have lots of roasted tomato sauce, but I think we ate almost everything else.

Small Ruminant Sustainability Checksheet
This in-depth checksheet is designed to stimulate critical thinking when evaluating a farm that produces sheep or goats. The sustainability of a farm depends on many factors involving farm management, use of resources, and quality of life. The questions in this checksheet are intended to stimulate awareness rather than to rate management practices. Use this guide to define areas in your farm management that might be improved, as well as to identify areas of strength.

Even if we get frost in Southern California it is quickly melted as the sun rises, unlike the above frost on a friend’s lawn in Corvallis, Oregon. For most gardeners in this area, January is a month of dormancy, a time to plan and prepare for spring.
One way to prepare is to let your pigs root up last year’s garden area, as some other friends near Eugene have done here:
We in Southern California have no such down time, not necessarily. If you’d like to be out in the yard this month, check out my post “What to do in a Southern California garden in January.”

Ivory Coast's bittersweet cocoa industry
- published: 14 Dec 2011
- views: 18330
Although chocolate is a multi-billion dollar industry, cocoa farmers in the Ivory Coast, a West African country that supplies almost half of the world\'s cocoa beans, are struggling to make ends meet. They earn just a few dollars a day. There are fears that if the Ivorian government does not fulfill its promises to reform the industry and farmers do not start making a profit soon, they will abandon their crops, pushing up chocolate prices around the world. Nazanine Moshiri reports from Arrah in the southeastern Ivory Coast....

What do our customers have to say about the Drill Digger?
My hubby is in love with this thing. He has been planting Monkey grass. He said once you play with it enough and figure out how to slightly tilt it, it will not shake you after that. Now that he is used to it, he loves it. He prefers it with a plug in drill. Runs down Cordless really fast. really heavy duty materials. We live in Georgia, so we are going through compacted hard clay that is hard as rock and bent a aluminum fancy handled bulb planter right in two. He said this went through with little effort. This is a champ.
Kelsey - 39, Atlanta
My wife bought a bunch of tulip bulbs, but in the harder clay dirt we have in eastern Nebraska, it was a real pain to plant them. I was trying large drill bits, little hand shovels, etc., to dig a deep enough hole for a few dozen bulbs. I had a few things that kinda worked but took several minutes per bulb. I thought, hey, someone must make a tool to do this. Yep, here it is. As others have suggested, it's a good idea to grind down the shaft into three flats so it doesn't slip in the drill. After doing that, I tried it out. WOW. I could plant tulip bulbs in about 30 seconds per bulb.
Phil - 51, Omaha
I tried this because I am building a kitchen on top of my deck, and it far exceeded expectations. I ended up digging 20" deep, 9" diameter. This allowed me to break up the dirt, then remove by hand. I used a 10mm deep socket plus extensions to get the depth I needed.

A hori hori knife can be a useful tool for any gardener, especially those looking for a low-effort and affordable tool. Because of its design, a Japanese gardening knife is extremely versatile, useful for a range of tasks from tackling tough weeds to handling more precise work.
How sharp is a hori hori knife?
A hori-hori, sometimes referred to as a “soil knife” or a “weeding knife”, is a heavy serrated multi-purpose steel blade for gardening jobs such as digging or cutting. The blade is sharp on both sides and comes to a semi-sharp point at the end.
What is a hori hori garden tool?
The “hori hori” is a Japanese garden knife with a unique blend of digging and cutting features. Thanks to its shape and size, with it you can dig, transplant, saw, cut, and even measure soil depth for planting bulbs.
What is a pruning knife used for?
Whatever needs doing in the garden, the pruning knife is the tool of first resort. Pruning knife uses run the gamut from trimming vines to harvesting veggies. You can use a pruning knife to slice string, cut flowers, prune vines, and graft trees.
What is a hula hoe?
Hula Hoe is a Weeder with a Wiggle! – The sharp steel blade skims horizontally below the soil surface, slicing through weed roots while leaving the soil in place. The blade is designed to have a little play in it — the famous “hula wiggle” — so that it cuts at the correct angle on both backward and forward strokes.

The World Trade Organization has cut its goods trade growth forecast for this year by about a third to 3 per cent, warning that the decline in commodity exports caused by the Ukraine war could cause mass hunger in developing countries.
The Geneva-based body revised predicted growth in goods trade volumes down from 4.7 per cent, but said a protracted conflict and an embargo on Russian energy supplies could reduce it to 0.5 per cent.
The WTO also cut forecasts for growth in gross domestic product from 4.1 per cent to 2.8 per cent in 2022, rising to 3.2 per cent in 2023. It also warned that lockdowns in Chinese cities to prevent the spread of coronavirus are again disrupting seaborne trade.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, big exporters of grain and fertiliser, could cause widespread hunger, said WTO director-general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as she warned against export restrictions or food hoarding.
“Smaller supplies and higher prices for food mean that the world’s poor could be forced to do without. This must not be allowed to happen. This is not the time to turn inward,” she said. Around 35 countries in Africa import food and 22 import fertilisers from Ukraine, Russia or both. Wheat prices in some states in sub-Saharan Africa could rise by up to 85 per cent without intervention, the WTO said.
Okonjo-Iweala called for humanitarian corridors to allow grain to leave Ukraine by truck or ship and for farmers to be able to work. “Eighty per cent of Ukraine’s wheat is harvested in July. That’s the winter crop and we hope there can be some kind of humanitarian cover so this can be harvested and they can plant the next crop in September. The ability to harvest that winter crop will be highly significant.”
She also repeated a call for countries with grain stocks to sell them internationally to reduce prices.
Between them, Russia and Ukraine in 2019 supplied around 25 per cent of wheat, 15 per cent of barley and 45 per cent of sunflower product exports, used in animal feed, according to the WTO.
The WTO estimated a 3.4 per cent rise in trade volumes in 2023 but warned the numbers “are less certain than usual”.
Global trade contracted by 5 per cent in 2020 but rebounded by 9.8 per cent in 2021, as consumers shifted to buying more goods as spending on services was limited by Covid-19 restrictions. Before the war in Ukraine, trade was expected to grow at a robust pace this year supported by savings that households in many countries had accumulated.
However, surging inflation, which squeezes households’ real income, and further supply chain disruptions have drastically changed the outlook.
The WTO forecasts that exports will contract in South America this year, while Asia is forecast to see export growth slowing to 2 per cent from 14 per cent in 2021. Exports growth is expected to more than halve in Europe compared with last year, while North America and Middle East oil exporting countries are set to see above average growth rates.
The CIS region that includes Russia is forecast to see a big drop in imports and GDP this year, but exports should grow by 4.9 per cent as other countries continue to rely on the country’s energy.
The WTO’s forecast anticipates the global economic outlook published later this month by the IMF.
The negative impact of the war on trade was laid bare by separate figures published this month by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, which tracks shipping data from 500 ports in real time to create a global trade index. The company reported that the value of global trade fell 2.8 per cent between February and March, with Russia and the EU registering the sharpest contractions.

I love this curly grass. It likes to have lots of water but will do well almost anywhere. Sun, shade, container, or ground. Not much different than the Hosta plant. It will grow most anywhere, but will thrive best in areas it like. When it comes to Corkscrew Rush, that would be near water or damp environment. This is an annual plant, you could bring it indoors over winter.


Farm Day this weekend is CANCELED
We have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel our Farm Day this Sunday due to concern over the COVID-19 virus. Anyone that knows us (and has seen us show up to the farmers market in a hurricane) knows that we do not take this decision lightly.
In order to ensure our ability to continue providing our organic vegetables to our customers in the days and weeks to come, we are acting out of caution and safety for our farm, crops, and staff. As of now, the Farm Day will not be rescheduled.
Please know that we are working hard to ensure there is no interruption of production and distribution of our produce and flowers to the community. We have been planning for an amazing Farm Day for many weeks now, and are incredibly saddened to make this call. We know many of you have been waiting all season to visit the farm.
Please pass on to a friend to ensure the word gets out.
THANK YOU for understanding,
Ellen & Cole

Clamped on a small rack and works flawless for potted succulents. The clamp is very secure and lights are easy to bend.

A committee has been established to help deliver $100 million in drought resilience and preparedness programs to communities every year through the Future Drought Fund.
Drought Minister David Littleproud announced the Future Drought Fund Consultative Committee as an important milestone in taking action on drought.
Chair Brent Finlay and committee members Kate Andrews, Wendy Craik, Elizabeth Peterson and Caroline Welsh will begin their work in Canberra soon.
The committee will develop the Drought Resilience Funding Plan for the fund, which begins with a $3.9 billion credit that will grow to $5 billion.
“The Australian Government is getting on with the job of building nationwide drought resilience,” Mr Littleproud said.
`“The Future Drought Fund was established to give drought-prone Australians the best tools to plan and prepare for drought and sustain their livelihoods and communities.
`“To ensure best use of the Future Drought Fund, the consultative committee will seek input directly from drought-vulnerable communities for the Drought Resilience Funding Plan.
“This committee is made up of people with track records of success in agricultural economics, managing climate risk, rural and regional development and natural resource management.”

Grow-It-LED Excalibur King Series 400W Full Spectrum LED Grow Light
The experts at Grow-it-LED have designed the Excalibur King Series 400 Watt Full Spectrum LED Grow Light to consistently outperform the competition while maintaining an extremely competitive price. This is a commercial grade LED grow light can easily replace DE HPS fixtures up to 650 watts and offers multiple spectrum options, allowing you to have excellent flexibility for your indoor garden or grow operation.
The Excalibur King Series comes in the spectrum packages you need to offer both tiered pricing and spectrum options. These are some of the best LED grow lights on the market, featuring a passively cooled design that provides completely silent operation. Each LED is under-driven for increased efficiency and longevity so you can expect 100,000 hours of life from this system.
Each spectrum is itself an excellent option, depending on your specific needs. Even the lowest priced option can easily replace a 650w HPS grow light and still produce a product that is far better than anything you’ll get from an HPS fixture. UV to IR grow lights utilize new technology to leverage growing techniques such as the Emerson effect for quicker flowering times - UV is also an excellent addition due to its known properties for increasing oil production and terpene profiles.
All fixtures are compatible with the optional Casambi wireless controller, giving you the ability to control DLI, sunrise/sunset functions, and spectrum tuning for each fixture individually. The Casambi system can be used on Apple or Android devices.

In June 2020, Board of Directors of Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited (ZACL), the agriculture vertical of the Adventz Group, announced their plan to sell off the company’s fertilizer plant in Goa to unlisted joint venture company Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL).
Though prime facie, the announcement looks like a regular re-structuring activity, minority shareholders have come forward to oppose the transaction. In this article, we have tried to cover the key aspects of the present deal as well as past re-structuring and what will remain with ZACL if the deal sails-through.
Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited (erstwhile Zuari Holdings Limited) constitutes the fertiliser operations of the Adventz Group. It is also the holding company for the other agribusiness operations of the Adventz Group.
Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (MCF) is a subsidiary of Zuari Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited which holds 53.03% equity shares. MCF is the largest manufacturer of chemical fertilizers in the state of Karnataka.
Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL), manufactures DAP and NPK fertilisers, with its plant located at Paradeep, Orissa. PPL is a joint venture between Indian Government and Zuari Maroc Phosphates Private Limited (ZMPPL), a 50:50 partnership between Maroc Phosphore S.A., Morocco and Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited. The government of India holds 19.55% of shares while 80.45 % shares are held by Zuari Maroc Phosphates Pvt Ltd.
In 2002, ZIL acquired Paradeep Phosphates Ltd through a JV company, as part of the disinvestment process of GoI.
The current Structure of PPL is as follows:

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global
Bioinsecticide Market - Segmented by Product, Application, and Geography
- Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2018 - 2023)" report has been
added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global bioinsecticide market was estimated at USD 1,212.6 million in 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 11.7% over the forecast period.
The increase in average income all over the world has led to a huge demand for safe and quality food. People now prefer buying organically approved food and they specifically look for the certification label to ascertain the origin of the product. Governments of various countries are also introducing stringent methods to ascertain the quality of the food. This aspect is driving the farmers to use more and more bio-based products, and using bioinsecticides for their crops.
Among application areas for bioinsecticides, fruits and vegetables occupy the largest share by application. Our analysis shows that lately, many fruits and vegetables have tested positive for the presence of pesticides. This has decreased the demand for chemical pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables. Bioinsecticides have a relatively lower residue level and are a perfect fit for the treatment of fruits and vegetables and hence fruit and vegetable forms the largest application area for bioinsecticides.

Workshops and Webinars
Come and gain hands on skills through our series of organic gardening workshops! Our Community Education classes are normally held throughout the year in classroom, greenhouse and garden settings. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and government-issued recommendations that Utahns refrain from large social gatherings, we are currently offering a selection of our most popular classes via webinar (on-line) format. Recorded versions of our live webinars will also be made available for registration and on demand viewing several days following each live presentation. We appreciate your patience as we continue to modify our gardening curriculum while keeping everyone safe.
In addition to offering educational workshops and webinars, we also host "Garden Coaching" sessions most Wednesdays from March through August via Facebook Live. Please join us for timely garden advice and live garden Q&A on Wednesdays from 4:30-5:30 on the Wasatch Community Gardens' Facebook page. Follow our page for updates on the Facebook Live schedule.
We offer a limited number of reduced-tuition scholarships for low-income individuals. See below for the online application.
A limited number of reduced tuition scholarships are available to low-income individuals for each of our workshops unless noted otherwise in the description. We encourage low income community members and students to take advantage of these scholarships. Ensuring that our garden education is affordable and available for all members of the community is important to our organization!
Quotes From our Students!
“Prior to the classes my gardening success was mostly luck not knowledge; classes reinforced so things I was already doing and gave me actual knowledge to succeed.”
“Most of my confidence comes from techniques that I learned in the classes. There are times when I try everything that I know and I am still not successful at gardening. That is when I want to learn more and take more workshops”
“Wonderful people; beautiful grounds; exciting courses offered; lots of love and graciousness evident around the place. Thanks to WCG.”
“I'm very thankful for your strong presence in the community. Although we don't attend as many workshops as we like, I feel supported in our gardening interests and endeavors knowing that enthusiastic and knowledgeable instruction is easily available. Thank you!”
“Marybeth and the team at Wasatch Community gardens are outstanding! I have enjoyed every workshop that I have taken and I have learned so many skills and techniques. Thank you for having a variety of classes and offering them frequently”
“Marybeth is such an amazing educator!! I would come to a class just because she gets me excited about gardening more than anything else!”
“The garlic workshop I attended was awesome. Learned a lot and was excited to plant the garlic given right after the class. The instructor was excellent and hands on learning in the field was very effective and thank you for the take home garlic to plant at home!”
“I really began to grow the majority of my plants from seed after taking the “Flower Seed Starting Indoors” workshop. I learned so much of what was needed to start seeds indoors, such as the necessities like lights, etc. Since then, I also incorporate lots of flowers in my veggie beds to attract more beneficial and plus, it looks pretty. Overall, I have always taken away some new piece of knowledge from every workshop I have attended”

Just thought I'd re-introduce myself as we are starting all over again. I'm an older woman living as a hermit on the edge of a small town in zone 8a -- west central Texas. Have enjoyed gardening most of my life and have Mel's first book which is well used. I just moved to a place with very poor "soil" so am using his new method of raised gardens for the first time. Already have asparagus planted in a 4X6' bed, and two other beds 4 X 7' ready for planting. It's been extra cold here, so the winter veggies are just now germinating after being planted for 3 weeks. Am now working on a 12 X 2' trellis bed for vining plants. I think that is all I will do this year, and see what kind of harvest I get and determine if another couple of beds will be necessary later on. The problem in this climate is we really can't sow successively as Mel suggests as the winter crops are still producing when the summer crops need to be planted.

Your Guide to the Farmer's Market
Summer brings lots of great fresh fruits. Stone fruits like peaches, apricots and cherries are popular during the summer months. You can also find different types of berries this time of year. Strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are wonderful in fruit pies or mixed with yogurt or cottage cheese as a snack. The warmer months are often the best time for melons like mangoes, cantaloupe and watermelon.
Corn and tomatoes ripen best in the warm weather as do different types of squashes like zucchini and the aptly named summer squash. Roots and tubers are also at their best during the summer - potatoes, beets, onions and radishes flourish this time of year.
A mango-avocado salsa goes well with fish or can be used simply as a refreshing dip for chips. 1 mango, peeled, seeded and diced

I spent a good chunk of last weekend playing in dirt. Despite the 90 plus degree weather, I decided to expand my little Kitchen Garden. It was a lot of work, but I am literally seeing the fruits of my labor since planting just a few days ago.
The Mister, who does not want photos of him or The Baby Kittens posted (oh, okay), was kind enough to help me schlep garden supplies.
…but the real star of the show is the anaheim pepper plant that I just transferred on Saturday early evening. By Sunday afternoon, look what was hanging from the vine. I $hit you not, ’twas not there the day before.
“That can’t be,” says The Mister.
“Baby, you were there when we bought the pepper plant. Was there even a hint of a pepper at the time?” I retort.
“No, but still…,” he says scratching his head.
I’m scratching my head too. Not because I’m perplexed, but because my scalp could use a good cleaning after toiling and sweating away in the garden. Off to scrub-a-dub with cKc (more on that later)…

Almost exactly half a year after shuttering its Colonsay potash mine amid an extremely weak fertilizer market, Mosaic Co. says the sprawling operation east of Saskatoon should be up and running again this month.
All of the roughly 330 employees laid off in July were back at work by Dec. 5, and the Plymouth, MN-based company anticipates that the mine will again be producing potash by mid-January, Mosaic spokeswoman Sarah Fedorchuk said in an email.
“We do not anticipate idling Colonsay this year. We expect supply reconciliation and demand growth will result in a productive operating environment and are optimistic that 2017 will be a stronger year for the potash industry.”
Mosaic said in July that it would temporarily “idle” the mine east of Saskatoon and rely instead on its Esterhazy and Belle Plaine facilities in the province — which are cheaper to operate — amid “really challenging” market conditions.
Potash prices have fallen sharply over the last eight years, to around US$200 per tonne from a peak of almost US$900 per tonne in 2008. Industry experts have predicted a rebound, driven by dwindling inventories and a growing global population.
However, low demand has already led to cutbacks in Saskatchewan’s multi-billion-dollar potash industry, with companies like Mosaic and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. taking steps to reduce costs, including production cuts and layoffs.
Mosaic’s decision to temporarily shutter its Colonsay operation became controversial when unionized miners, who were without a contract at the time, raised concerns about voting on a new agreement while out of work.
The company said last month that its decision to acquire Vale SA’s fertilizer business, which includes a massive undeveloped potash project near Kronau, for $2.5 billion is consistent with its search for value at the “at the low points in the cycle.”


Tonight, we canned our last batch of tomatoes.......
...washed up our carrots and got them in the fridge...
...and pressure canned our first batch of pumpkin!
|The Pumpkin jars are still inside, we're waiting for the pressure to come down so we can open it and I don't want to wait that long...I'm super patient.|
It's been a long summer and winter will be a nice break from the garden! Stay tuned for a review of our entire summer.
Here are a few pictures of carrot harvesting fun!

To coincide with the Agritechnica 2019, Alliance is introducing a new segment into its agricultural portfolio – lawn, garden and turf segment. The new Alliance 579 embodies an innovative tyre concept for the medium and smaller-size utility and narrow-track tractors operating in grassed areas, vineyards and orchards.
Developed specifically for this type of work, the Alliance 579 features an innovative radial design with robust woven belts and a new R3+ tread. This “plus” stands for a much deeper tread to ensure a significantly better traction than R3 but at the same time minimal possible soil compaction and plant/crop damage. Among its other distinctive attributes are the large number of lugs, a steep centreline angle, and a smooth, open channel. In combination, these properties deliver efficient and reliable grip, a long service life, and excellent self-cleaning.
Perfect crop and soil protection with a view to avoiding soil damage and protecting crops, the new Alliance 579 possesses a raft of further innovative design details, including a rounded, open shoulder. The radial construction gives rise to an ideal footprint alongside reduced soil pressure, enhanced traction and optimal rolling behaviour. As a multi-purpose radial tyre, the Alliance 579 possesses a lug-to-void tread ratio of almost 50:50%, which ensures the best self-cleaning properties and careful treatment of the plants.
Mixed-service tyre Thanks to its unique tread, the Alliance 579 is suitable for a wide variety of applications and, in most cases, can serve as a substitute for conventional R1, R3 or R4 tyres. Given its favourable price and long service life, the overall operating costs are very low.
Alliance is offering the new 579 in multiple sizes for mounting on front and rear axles, from 220/55R12 for the front up to 420/70R24 for the rear. The initial launch portfolio comprises ten different sizes. “We have identified a growing demand from our agricultural customers in an innovative turf application solution.
As a full-line manufacturer with the most extensive agricultural portfolio in the industry, Alliance is happy to offer the best-in-class solution in this segment,” explains Angelo Noronha, President EMEA at ATG. The European market launch is synchronized with the trade show Agritechnica 2019.

What are the pros? Easy germination, huge squash
What are the cons? None
Unlike some reviewers our plants produced a lot of squash! Planted three plants and produced 11 squash ranging from 15" to 24" long. Average diameter is at least 10". Haven't cooked or eaten any yet but am looking forward to trying it out & seeing how long they will last for winter storage.

What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana?
Marijuana and hemp are varieties of cannabis that developed due to selective breeding – hemp for its fiber and marijuana for its medicinal components. While the two look and smell-alike, they are chemically and structurally different. The major difference between the two are the levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — the chemical in marijuana that has intoxicating effects. Hemp has only trace quantities of THC, while some marijuana strains can have more than 20 percent THC. To learn even more about hemp, watch PBS NewsHour Weekend’s report from Kentucky, where officials and farmers are experimenting with creating a new industry around this plant.

We must include information for those that are not in areas where it is invasive. Most plants have the capacity to become invasive given the proper environment, and in order to be fair to those in this kind of area, it's necessary to include this information.
As well, we have articles for eradication:
