So you have successfully mastered starting your plants from seeds this year…so successful they are crazy huge and your seedlings are flowering too early! It is still too cold to put them in the ground so what should you do?!
I received this question from one of my students from Seattle Farm School. It is a great one that no one has asked me before!
Untreated wood is recommended for vegetables beds as it will not leach chemicals into the soil. Many people fear that arsenic will leach into garden beds if you use treated wood…but arsenic hasn’t been used since 2003 in pressure treated wood! The process that gave treated wood a super bad reputation CCA (chromated copper arsenate) was replaced with a new process called Micronized Copper Quaternary (MCQ). Click HERE for a good read on treated lumber and garden beds by The Survivalist Blog. Now I am not saying treated wood is as safe as untreated…the decision of what type of wood to use is up to you.
Now facts….untreated wood will decompose quicker and need to be replaced sooner. Which is what led to question I received…how can you extend the life of a untreated bed, are there safe stains out there? Yes, there are! We actually just used one on our cedar fencing called Penofin Verde. We also used cedar since it is naturally water resistant. Redwood is another good option. Although both options are on the pricey side. Penofin Verde is just one of many stains that could be used on a garden bed. Gardenista has a nice blog post on 5 other stains recommended for raised garden beds HERE.
While my fence was made with untreated lumber and stained with an eco-friendly stain my garden beds were not. I know some of you may be gasping! We made the choice to use treated wood so they would last a long time, our beds are two feet high and on top of that they are located where the yard is 6 feet higher than the street level. In other words it was a major pain to get them in place & filled…we don’t want to ever do it again! 🙂 I did line my beds with plastic though to reduce the chances of any type of leaching.
No need to run out and buy graph paper or pull out a ruler to create your own grid for garden planning this year. I have taken the time to create some garden planning templates for you! You can print them at home and print as many as you need!
Ok now that you have figured out what you want to plant in your garden this year and what you want to plant from seed, you need to figure out when the heck to start sprouting those seeds!! The process of figuring it out is easy- although you have to get information from a couple different places to come up with the answer.
When do I start sowing seeds indoors?
First of all, if you have your seed packets already flip them over and read the back of them. You will find information on when to plant them…. it will say something like “sow indoors 8-12 weeks before last frost” or “when to start indoors”. If you do not have your seeds yet you can refer to this handy cheat sheet Botanical Interests created that gives the sowing guidelines HERE. You now have the first piece of information you need!
Second you need to know when your last frost date is. If you are an experienced gardener you may have been recording this in your garden journal for many years and can reference that. For the rest of us though we can look up what is typically the last frost date by plugging in your zip code into this handy site HERE. The site pulls data from your nearest weather station.
Ok so now you take your last frost date minus the weeks recommended off your seed packet to get when you should sow your seeds indoors! Use a calendar to count backwards or if you want to get fancy use Excel 😆 Here is an example for Seattle, WA for tomatoes.
Last frost date: March 10th
Time recommended to sow before last frost: 6-8 weeks
When should I plant my tomato plants indoors? January 13th-January 27th
Ok so it is January 30th already!! Should I freak out that I am already behind? Naw…this is just a general guideline, a couple weeks will not set you behind…a couple months is a different story! But….if you haven’t ordered your seeds yet I would get on it now though! I will start planting my tomatoes the 2nd week in February.
Have you started your seedlings yet?
The other week I was talking to a friend about gardening (big surprise right?!). My friend shared that she wanted to start a garden this year but was not sure what vegetables do well in yards without full sun. Well, there are A LOT of veggies that not only tolerant shade but some even LIKE SHADE!! I think a lot of people struggle with finding full sun in their yard so I thought planting vegetables in the shade would be a good topic to cover! First of all let us start with the basics…
Finally let’s get started planning our 2015 gardens! Edible garden planning can become overwhelming for newbies or even experienced gardeners so I am going to break it down to make it easy for you.
- Make a list of all the vegetables andnon- tree fruit that youbuy and eat from the store. If it is something you buy with the intention of eating but it always rots in the fridge first… I probably wouldn’t recommend you plant it.

- Onions (more…)


- Minbos Resources (MNB) plans to update the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Cabinda phosphate project in Angola amid high fertilizer prices
- Fertilizer prices hit new records as global suppliers are hit by multiple factors, including war in Ukraine, Chinese fertilizer export bans and supply chain inflation
- The company is completing a DFS that produced a blend of MAP and phosphate rock fertilizer, however, it will now include both blended fertilizer and enriched phosphate rock.
- The engineering calculations for the DFS will be completed in the coming weeks and will be confirmed during the next pilot test, scheduled for the second week of June.
- MNB shares are down 6.45%, trading at 14.5 cents
Minbos Resources (MNB) has updated its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Cabinda phosphate project in Angola.
The new study will include new plant layouts to capture current market opportunities that show strong potential demand for its rock phosphate (PR).
Fertilizer prices hit new records as global suppliers are hit by multiple factors, including the war in Ukraine, Chinese fertilizer export bans and supply chain inflation. Consequently, the prices of raw materials that make up processed fertilizers have increased by 30% since the beginning of the year. .
Globally, phosphate markets are booming, driven by buyers’ fears that a major disruption in global ammonia supply could, in the short term, lead to cuts in diammonium phosphate (DAP) production. ) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP).
MAP and PR are key ingredients in Cabinda Phosphate granules, high fertilizer prices also provide greater opportunities with rising global prices of MAP and PR which were only $200 ($269) per ton two years ago, today they are 1000 USD.
As demand grows, Minbos has recently been approached by mega-farms and regional distributors regarding the availability of Enriched Cabinda Phosphate Rock (CPR), which has proven to be a viable nutrient source for the majority of new agricultural products.
“Since the company was completing a DFS that produced a fertilizer blend of MAP and
Phosphate Rock, we have made the decision to expand the scope of DFS to include both blended fertilizers and enriched phosphate rock,” said CEO Lindsay Reed.
“The company is confident that it can achieve similar efficiencies, reduce working capital requirements, reduce customer expenses and potentially accelerate the full plant utilization schedule, all without delaying plant commissioning. factory.”
An external review of the process flowsheet by IFDC concluded that the current plant is capable of producing enriched phosphate rock products with minor modifications.
The technical calculations will be completed in the coming weeks and will be confirmed during the next pilot test (which will produce seven tonnes of product), scheduled for the second week of June at IFDC headquarters.
The engineering component of the revised DFS can be completed in approximately three months and the company will provide an update on the market component after technical discussions with potential new customers.
Meanwhile, the company will continue the construction of its phosphate plant through its EPCM subcontractors.
MNB shares were down 6.45%, trading at 14.5 cents at 11:57 a.m. AEST.


A few MSMGC foursomes were able to take advantage of a weather break this week (11/8&10) to play Chehalem Glenn and Cross Creek. Both had their advantages and disadvantages. Chehalem Glenn was great if you stayed in the fairway. The ground was definitely soft with thick grass. Many lost balls though if you ventured off the fairway.
Cross Creek on Wednesday turned out to be drier than expected with few lost balls if you ventured off fairway. The greens still need to thicken up but the fairway grass is well on its way to a recovery from the drought. Plus the ponds have filled back up.
Overall, darn good golf for November.


Honduran coffee was, until relatively recently, aimed at the commercial market and the country in general was perceived as being a low-price commodity exporter. Through the 90’s, the rest of Central America started becoming known for producing fantastic, specialty lots of coffee, while Honduras fell behind dramatically. It has to be noted that there is no doubt that Honduras has the ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee. The biggest factor in this issue was a lack of processing infrastructure with an aim towards optimizing and enhancing quality.
This consequently affected the preferences of quality- focused buyers. I too, can count myself as one of them.
The potential of the Honduran specialty scene was also held back due to the immense damage caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. It’s estimated to have destroyed 80% of the country’s agricultural industry. The coffee leaf rust crisis that ravaged the country in 2011/12 was yet another factor with many farmers now planting resistant varieties in copious amounts, in an attempt to double up on survivability.
It’s quite obvious that Honduras has been through a great deal, but thankfully, conditions are changing.
Initiatives launched by IHCAFE (The Honduran Coffee institute), including and not limited to the country’s first participation in the Cup of Excellence program, have done wonders to solidify the country’s reputation as a producer of excellent quality coffee.
A look at the specs:
Farm: Finca El Liquidambo.
Processing: Fully Washed.
Altitude: 1744 masl.
Owner: Guadalupe Rodriguez.
Town/City: Pozo Negro, Masaguara.
Region: Intibuca Department.
Prizes: 2016 Cup of Excellence #7; 2015 Cup of Excellence #8.
Lempira is cross between Timor Hybrid 832/1 and Caturra, which technically makes it a sub-variety of Catimor. It was originally grown for it’s high yield, but also has a moderate resistance level to coffee leaf rust. This variety shares its name with Honduras’ currency and the western coffee-growing state of Lempira in Honduras, and of course, is grown, I suspect, exclusively in Honduras.
This is the first time we’ve had an isolated Lempira varietal coffee. I’ll likely keep some aside to roast in 3 different ways for a future cupping, so stay tuned for that. This is a great way to explore the versatility and range of a coffees flavour.
A classic fully washed coffee that’s immaculately processed using a single variety, grown and tended to with a competition focus.
The winning lots from the cup of excellence competition are coffees scoring 86 points out of 100 and above (which is really quite high) in each cupping by both the National Jury and the Cup of Excellence International Jury. These coffees have each been cupped a minimum of five different times during the cupping process. In a way, it can be likened to the Michelangelo International Wine and Spirits Award (MIWA) in South Africa.
In the cup expect- Butterscotch, pear and baked peach, with a lovely, elegant, stone-fruit acidity, which can become more vibrant, depending on brew parameters.
Roasters and Baristas can only do so much. The initial and most important contribution towards the cup profile is from the farmer. Guadalupe Rodriguez nailed this one on the head. I’m sure he’ll place even higher in the next competition.
Until next time.

Prices for spot COMEX corn have rapidly declined over the past two weeks. As of March 3, 2023, prices were holding near $6.43/bushel, down from levels near $6.80/bushel in mid-February, marking the largest selloff since early-December and holding near the lower end of the post-invasion range excluding a temporary break below $6/bushel realized through July and August. The catalyst for near term price weakness was a bullish USDA production forecast, which indicated total corn planted area would increase 3% for 2023/2024 (June – July) resulting in an additional 34 Mt in total production. A worsening macroeconomic outlook, driven by expectations for a higher than initially expected Fed Funds rate also played a role in weighing on prices through February.
A similar trend took hold in wheat markets. Prices were trading at $7.01/bushel on March 2, down from levels north of $7.80/bushel two weeks earlier. The USDA production outlook for 2023/2024 was similarly positive, indicating total area planted would increase 8%, boosting total production by 51 Mt. Such a sizeable rise in output expectations was prompted by current supply tightness as the war in Ukraine continues to rage. Unsurprisingly, the USDA sees Ukrainian wheat supplies struggling to keep pace as access to capital and equipment alone will remain major barriers.
February price declines come as welcome news at a moment of elevated food inflation across a number of developed and developing nations. In the United States, January food CPI, which accounts for 13.5% of the consumption basket, was reported up 10% y/y. While this is a decline off peak levels north of 11% seen through August and September of last year, the pace of disinflation in annualized terms has been slow. The same argument is true of Europe, which has faced a number of supply issues amid the war in Ukraine and resulting price volatility as traditional trade flows out of the Black Sea face constantly high levels of uncertainty. Preliminary CPI figures for February indicated Euro Area annualized food inflation, including alcohol and tobacco, came in at 15%, finishing that the highest-level post-pandemic and marking a gain against January (14.1%). Even Japan is feeling the crunch, with food CPI finishing up 7.35% y/y (for January).
Whether the recent decline in prices can hold remains an open question. For now, the market seems to believe corn and wheat are a bit oversold. After bottoming in late-February, prices for corn (+2.14%) and wheat (+0.76%) have both rallied a bit off the lows from February 28. Further upward price movement is a possibility given the developments in real time trade flows.
The near-term recovery in prices through early-March tends to reflect supply tightness at present in the market, at least when monitoring real time physical flows, which are considerably underperforming against year earlier levels. Start with corn. In February, loadings finished at 8.16 Mt, a decline of roughly 4 Mt against average levels through 2021 and 2022. The decline was driven by weakness out of the United States (-3.3 Mt y/y), Ukraine (-2.3 Mt y/y), and Romania (-0.54 Mt y/y), albeit this was offset somewhat by a strong gain in shipments leaving Brazil (+1.39 Mt y/y).
The situation around Ukrainian corn is particularly notable. Following the implementation of the grain deal in August of last year, corn shipments initially surged in a bid to draw down excess inventory. In August and September alone, corn loadings totaled 2.3 Mt, outpacing total corn shipments made through Aug/Sept of the previous three years combined. Nonetheless, the arrival of harvest season has provided a look into just how much Ukrainian corn production has declined post-invasion. Between October 2022 and February 2023, corn exports managed just 8 Mt, falling well under year earlier levels (20.1 Mt).
The trade for seaborne wheat has fared a bit better in recent months, albeit February figures disappointed. The month managed a seaborne export total of just 11.6 Mt, considerably under year earlier levels (14.2 Mt), marking the lowest loading level since 2019. This was a reversal from January, which saw shipments finish at 14.7 Mt, up 0.26 Mt y/y. Argentina remains the biggest problem spot for now. February departures managed just 0.27 Mt, down from 2.58 Mt in February 2022 as drought continues to grip the country.

As mid-June arrives, so too daylilies in our cloister garden. Somewhat illusive flowers, some times blooming and sometimes not, they contribute to the display of God’s great color scheme in the midst of desert beauty.
Much of the Southwest is experiencing a heatwave of late, with relief in sight only next week perhaps. High temperatures, lack of rain and regular gusty winds are not good news for already drought conditions.
Our prayers continue for rain and for all who depend on their livelihood by cultivation of the land.

Webdesk, TNI Guwahati, 26th August, 2016: North East Tea Conclave & Expo 2016 was organized today at Guwahati today. Mr. Chandra Mohan Patowary, the Assam Minister for Industries & Commerce, called upon small tea growers to form self-help groups (SHG) for a robust tea industry in the region. Addressing the North East Tea Conclave & Expo 2016 organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in association with the Tea Board of India and the Directorate of Tea Government of Assam, Mr. Patowary said this benefit both the small tea growers and the tea industry as a whole, which is a source of livelihood for many people in state.
As per official figures, Assam is home to about 79,000 small tea growers. However, unofficial figures put the number at a lakh. The Minister also disclosed that Tea Park with warehouse facilities and railway connectivity is coming up near the airport. The new government is committed to building a strong infrastructure to facilitate new industries set up in the state, Mr. Patowary said, adding that the Government is working hard to ensure that more flights operate out of Guwahati Airport. Mr. Abhijit Barooah, Co-Chairman, CII North East Council said North East Tea Conclave & Expo 2016 is a forum designed to take local stakeholders on board and discuss how the tea Industry in the region can grow stronger and could be a source of sustenance for more people. CII also looks to work in tandem with the Tea Board of India, Directorate of Tea, Government of Assam, and also all the Tea Sector Associations to build a futuristic roadmap. Mr. Bidyananda Barkakoty, Convener NE Tea Conclave & Expo 2016 & Vice Chairman, Tea Board of India, said Assam contributes over 50% of the tea produced in the country. According to him, concerted efforts must be made towards popularising Assam Speciality Tea. “Aggressive marketing and brand building are the need of the hour, Mr. Barkakoty said. The conclave identified the best global models and practices, ways to strengthen market linkages and prepare strategies for a robust tea industry in the North East in terms of productivity, marketing and sustainability.
Not only did the Conclave discuss key policy interventions, it also sought to find ways to improve quality, add value in terms of production, packaging, price realisation and innovations, especially for speciality teas, and discussed key challenges of right wages to workers, global warming, and consumers’ opting other beverages. The Conclave also sought to ensure smart and quality production, marketability in the supply chain, forge stronger synergies between bought leaf factories and small tea growers. The daylong North East Tea Conclave & Expo 2016, was supported by Assam Tea Planters Association, All Assam Bought leaf Factory association, Bharatiya Chai Parishad, Federation of All India Tea Traders Association, Guwahati Tea Auction Buyers Association, Guwahati Tea Brokers Joint, Guwahati Tea Warehousing Association, Indian Tea Association, North East Tea Association and Small Tea Growers Association, will include a Tea Tasting Session, Buyer-Seller Meet and a Tea Exhibition.

Hello, my friends. Today is one of those "inside days" as the weather has turned cold overnight. Yesterday it was mild and sunny, today chilly and windy. Doing "inside things" today, cleaning up a bit, put in a load of laundry and watering my thirsty house plants.
I try to remember to water my plants every week but that doesn't always happen. I add all-purpose plant food year round, do you?
Since Mourning Dove Cottage doesn't have a lot of inside light, I am surprised how well these few plants are doing. I keep them near different windows in the house.
My Christmas cactus had beautiful pink flowers this year. Made me very happy!
So I'll be doing more inside things today but tomorrow, for sure, I'll be in the garden. Warmer temps and time to start planting the veggie garden.
Enjoy your day!

|Snårestad Vineyard is located 12 km west of Ystad in the rolling landscape between Österlen and Söderslätt by the south coast of Sweden. We are located on the slopes leading down to the sea, between the village and the beach, a stretch that both Carl Linneaus and the author Stig “Slas” Claesson have walked, in their respective times.
Facts about the estate
The proximity to the sea, about one kilometre, provides an even climate throughout the year and the southern slope provides an optimal sun exposure for the vines. The soil consists of heavy clay with elements of limestone. We planted our first vines in 2010 and have increased the number to about 1000 vines divided into three different varieties of grapes; Solaris, Cabernet Cortis, and Siramé, with 550, 400 and 70 vines respectively.

I got my seed starting setup together this week and it’s looking good.
I’m trying a heat-mat for the first time but I didn’t want to spring for a $30 one on Amazon so I’m using this $.50 one instead. Christmas light seed starting mat!
After doing a bit of research it sounds like they don’t get too hot, they are mostly waterproof, and they are cheap. Sure the heat isn’t super even but these are seeds not high precision biology experiments.
I filled the trays from my Burpee Self Watering Seed Starting Kit
that I bought last year with some seed starting mix. I used Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix which has mixed reviews but I’m a hobbyiest, not a professional and it’s easy to find.
I started 12 onions, 12 peppers, 12 coneflowers, and one pot of parsley. I made little row labels from something from the recycling bin and I’m ready to see them sprout. I know these early ones take a long time to get going but I’m hoping by starting them a bit earlier than I started my peppers last year, I’ll manage to get some good sized plants.
No spouts yet but it’s only been a couple days. I have way more started that I will ever have room to plant but people love seedlings and I love giving my little babies away. I just want enough margin for low germination rates etc.
P.S. Let me know if you are local and have a garden in need of veggie or herb seedlings. I love to share!
I have officially finished phase one of operation backsplash. We went with white subway tile in a herringbone pattern and I LOVE it!
I started in the middle of the stove area and worked out from there.
I did all the easy parts before working on all the complicated cuts.
It starts really coming together. And once I’ve cleaned off all the tool-mess I made, it really looks wonderful.
Finishing up the grout work should only take another day or so. From there we will be able to clean up everything with grout and put up the final piece of window trim. It’s so exciting to see things coming together.
I love this stuff. It doesn’t smell awful and it doesn’t smell too-much. Too many cleaners are just so over-scented that they make me sick. 409 is great. It cuts through grease and I even manage to clean my stove without getting overly frustrated. I am not a cleaner – AT ALL – but the 409 is good stuff. I highly recommend.
I normally wait so long to clean my stove that it is covered in baked on sauce of all varieties. If you’re the type to clean your stove after you spill anything on it, than I’m sure you have other products but the 409 gets all the black burnt stuff off pretty easily.
I have the lemon scented one but since it is so mild, I may try the regular one next time. It also comes in a good spray bottle which is important. I can’t stand cheap sprayers. I’ll probably re-use this bottle once I’m done with it. I wonder if Round-up would melt it? I need a new sprayer for that stuff.
I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for spring. We had so much snow this year and I can’t wait for it to all melt and be gone.
While I’m stuck indoors during this crazy snowy winter, I’ve been giving a-lot, even too much, thought to my garden.
I’m trying some new things this year. The most exciting is bunching onions. I’ve got some Burbee Evergreen Long White Bunching Onion seeds that sound pretty easy.
I’m also doing tomatoes, hot peppers, jalapenos, sugar snap peas, and a variety of herbs. I’ve also got summer squash and zuccinni on the menu as well as another attempt at a butternut squash.
The tomatoes, peppers and onions will get started in March and the zinnias, lettuce, and herbs will start in April. Everything else will be direct-sown in april or may depending on how cold-hardy they are. I’m hoping for an early spinach crop as well as a profusion of green beans.
Now if the ground would thaw already I could start working in compost and doing some of the landscaping I’ve got planned for this spring!


APPELATION OF ORIGIN
An appellation of origin is the name of a region, a specific place or a country (hereinafter referred to as region) used for goods originating in that region, whose quality or other characteristics are essentially or exclusively given by a particular geographical environment with its inherent natural and human factors and whose processing, production and preparation takes place in a delimited geographical region.
Traditional geographical and non-geographical appellations are also considered as appelations of origin of agricultural products of foodstuff, provided that such goods fulfil other conditions according to the regulations in force.
An Industrial Property Office forwards the application after national Proceedings to the EU Commission for Agriculture and Countryside Development, that approves and registers the name according to the Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs. The name is then protected in the all territory of EU. This regulation does not apply to wine products and to spirit drinks except of vinegar.


We have been so busy with the gardens and markets that I feel we have neglected the communications! We now have a plant cam installed in the garden and can't wait to see results. We will share, of course.
It has been a real learning curve with the markets. We are trying to make things come out even. Unfortunately, we've been selling out at the Saturday markets behind the Lindale Community Theater. Our CSAs know to come early! Speaking of CSAs, we've had a few requests for a summer CSA program. What do you think? Tyler & I discussed having a 10 week program beginning in June and ending in August. During the summer, there is so much more produce to share. Tomatoes, squash, okra, peppers, winter squash, pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, green beans, onions and flowers. We will also have jams, jellies, pickles and dried as well as fresh herbs. The summer CSA would cost $350 and includes our beautiful embroidered organic cotton tote bag. Let us know if you would be interested.
I have some exciting news about the Lindale Community Theater. Beth's Little Farm Market is proud to be a co-sponsor in bringing the 50s singing group Shake Rattle & Roll to Lindale. The event will be one night only, June 7, 2014. The benefit for the theater will include admission, finger food, BYOB, and dessert during intermission! Buy your tickets athttp://www.lindalecommunitytheater.org/ or call 903-638-0402. We are expecting a sell out.

The global population only continues to grow, and life expectancy is rising in tandem. According to the most recent annual report from The Mosaic Company , the global population recently passed seven billion and will reach nine billion by 2050.
Not surprisingly, then, the pressures facing global food production are immense and complex. After all, farm land is a scarce resource, meaning agricultural production must improve both on an absolute basis as well as improve efficiency in order to meet the corresponding rise in demand for food.
As a result, agricultural production is a core emphasis throughout the world, particularly among the emerging economies, which means big business for Deere & Company , Monsanto , and Mosaic going forward.
Seven billion mouths to feed (and counting)
Those shocking numbers mean agriculture will be of huge importance for many decades, and the situation is further complicated by the fact that, again according to Mosaic, farmers will have to grow as much food over the next 50 years as they have over the full course of recorded human history. In light of this, it appears that strong underlying business conditions of the agriculture industry are all but a certainty.
This is extremely positive for not just Mosaic, but Deere as well, which derives more than three-quarters of its total sales from its agriculture & turf segment. That division posted 32% operating profit growth in the third quarter, year over year, driven by strong growth in both price realizations and shipment volumes.
Not surprisingly, Deere is reaping the rewards of solid growth in the emerging markets. In particular, Brazil is a region showing great results for Deere, the major factor behind the company's projections for South American agricultural retail sales to increase 20% this year as opposed to 2012. As Deere advises investors, "global population and income growth in developing nations will drive increased demand for agricultural output and infrastructure investment."
Booming populations, and by extension middle classes, in the emerging markets make investment in under-developed nations a key priority not just for Deere, but for the agriculture industry's seed and fertilizer suppliers as well. Seed giant Monsanto is determined to capitalize on emerging market growth, and has demonstrated that commitment by generating 45% of its 2012 net sales from outside the United States. Above-average growth is being realized in several emerging economies, including Brazil and Asia-Pacific, where sales grew 25% last year and 21% since 2010, respectively.
Agriculture needs nutrients
It's a simple reality, but a truth nonetheless, and the exact reason why Mosaic has a bright future ahead of it. Mosaic operates two business segments, Phosphates and Potash, both of which supply key nutrients to the agriculture industry. While the potash market is currently in a state of upheaval stemming from the breakup of one of the world's largest partnerships, causing potash prices to decline precipitously in just a few months, the long-term fundamentals remain extremely positive.
This provides Mosaic management with great confidence in its company's future, despite the near-term pressures. President and CEO Jim Prokopanko recently had this to say about the future of his company: "The long-term positive crop outlook for crop nutrient demand has not changed; high commodity prices are driving record farm returns and making our products more affordable than ever before. These strong fundamentals are expected to drive near record global phosphate and potash shipments in calendar 2013."
The Foolish takeaway
While the world's population and demand for food continue to grow, one thing that isn't growing is the amount of land available for food production. That means farmers will have to reap increasing amounts of food from roughly the same amount of land.
As a result, Deere, Monsanto, and Mosaic have huge opportunities to provide their products and services to an industry desperately grappling for solutions. Should each of these companies succeed in its growth initiatives, especially within the emerging markets, their shareholders will likely profit handsomely for many years to come.

FEATURE-Corn price hike forces Mexicans to cut back on tortillas
* Corn prices hit nine-year high, partly due to Ukraine war
* Cost of Latin America's staple tortillas and tamales jumps
* Some 267 million people face food poverty in the region
By Diana Baptista , Thomson Reuters Foundation
via Devdiscourse - June 17, 2022
MEXICO CITY / Business at Marco Antonio Jimenez's taco stall in Mexico City was just starting to recover from repeated COVID-19 lockdowns when global corn prices skyrocketed, sinking his sales once again. The surge in the cost of corn - which is used to make Mexico's staple tortilla - forced Jimenez to raise the price of his tacos by two pesos (10 U.S. cents), but he said many of his mainly low-income customers could no longer afford the 20-peso snack.
"When the price of tortillas increases, I have to increase the price of tacos," Jimenez, 26, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. "Many people prefer not to buy anything anymore," he said.
The conflict in Ukraine has hit global grains and fertilizer supplies https://news.trust.org/item/20220506132617-jyg3a, contributing to a jump of almost 20% in global corn prices between February and March and taking them to a nine-year high in April, according to World Bank data.
Ukraine is the world's No. 4 corn supplier, while seven Latin American countries were among the 20 biggest importers of the grain during 2021. That fuels the threat of food poverty in a region where 267 million people have had to reduce the amount they eat since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, with many sometimes going hungry, said Carolina Trivelli, senior adviser for strategic analysis at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)...

Several new technologies are impacting how coffee is grown, processed, transported, and sold—and hold the potential to link farmers with socially and environmentally minded consumers in completely new ways. Technological innovations are combining the latest in data science and materials science with existing strategies such as integrated pest management (IPM) to help farmers lower their input costs, reduce the risk of crop loss, and bring more financial security to rural communities.

Univ. of Mass. floriculture professor Doug Cox said growers who only do in-house tests on their water for pH measurement, are only do half the job. Cox said a pH test by itself is useful, but it is not an indicator alkalinity. Water tests should include both pH and alkalinity.
Cox said water with a high alkalinity (i.e., high levels of bicarbonates or carbonates) always has a pH value of 7 or higher. Water with a high pH doesn’t necessarily have a high alkalinity.
In Massachusetts, Cox said, it is common for irrigation water to have a high pH (7-8) and low alkalinity (less than 100 parts per million calcium carbonate). In some cases, both the pH and alkalinity can be high.
Pictured: Water tests should include both pH and alkalinity. A pH test by itself is useful, but it does not provide a measurement of alkalinity. Water with a high pH doesn’t necessarily have a high alkalinity.

I wrote just a little about our garden here but here's a picture of some of the yummy vegetables we've been enjoying!
The yellow pear tomatoes and the cherry tomatoes are my favorite. We love them cut in half and combined with fresh basil, fresh chives, balsamic vinegar, salt, & pepper! We also picked some jalapenos just today but haven't made any salsa yet - I'm a little nervous to work with them since having jalapeno hands for a few days last year. :) Anyway, it's awesome to see the vibrant colors and enjoy the wonderful fresh vegetables and herbs.


I was wrong again. Who’d have thought?
I’ve seen things like this around for years and never thought much of them. I thought they were invented country looking things, possibly made by gen-u-ine “Amish craftsman”.
Turns out it’s actually something. Looking around the shop, I found another one not quite as tarted up. This other one bills itself as a rice scoop. They grew a lot of rice here in North Carolina on through the mid 19th century. I am not sure it is a rice scoop but, after a bit of research, I believe they are two-handed grain scoops. And rice is a grain.
As usual, CLICK on the pictures to enlarge. And try not to make assumptions about what anything is. Do as I say, not as I do.

I may have to rethink this
I have five roses to plant and one to relocate.
I started to dig up Portland from Glendora. It's about 25 years old and the roots are over one inch thick.
When I was younger I dug up 5 mature Junipers which were also had a lot of thick roots. The process is dig and cut and dig and cut until you can finally pop the bush with only the tap root remaining.
I have one or more roots left before I can pop PFG.
I'm sitting here posting and dripping sweat. I'll finish it because I'm stubborn.
Exercise is good, but I'm seriously thinking about hiring a gardener to dig the five holes and completely excavate PFG which is own root. 68 isn't 45.

Grow your own #SecretGarden with your own Seeds as Beads!
What seeds are contained in your bead?
Each envelope “bead” contains a mix of Southeastern wildflower seeds, both annual and perennial:
Baby’s Breath, Dwarf Cornflower/Bachelor Button, Five Spot, Lemon Mint, African Daisy, Sweet Alyssum, Toadflax, Tall Cornflower/Bachelor Button, Red Corn Poppy (Legion Poppy), Lance Leaf Coreopsis, Mixed Red Poppy (Shirley Poppy), Wild Cosmos, California Poppy, Blanketflower, Black Eyed Susan, Wild Perennial Lupine, Purple Coneflower, Russel Lupine, Plains Coreopsis, Siberian Wallflower, Blue Flax, Scarlet Flax, Drummond Phlox, Sulphur/Orange Cosmos, Gloriosa Daisy
In an effort to reduce waste, each envelope has been printed on paper that would have otherwise been discarded. Seeds as Beads, other than the wired twist tie, are completely biodegradable. If you happen to loose them along the route, no need to fret! A beautiful bouquet of wildflowers will pop up in its place.
How do I grow the bead?
The first (and most important!) step is to wet the envelope, place it under about 1/4″ of soil, water thoroughly and continue to monitor for the first 4-6 weeks to ensure that the seedlings are kept moist but not wet.
When can I plant my bead?
The bead can be started anytime indoors as long as the pot is kept in a sunny window. The flowers can then be transplanted outdoors in spring.
Outdoors, paper planted late fall to early spring will take advantage of the winter moisture and will produce earlier blooms. Beads planted in summer will need to monitored more closely to ensure that it is receiving adequate moisture when the seedlings first start growing.
How long do the SeedsAsBeads last?
We recommend that you plant your bead within 3 months to ensure the best germination results.
Please be sure to document your bead’s growth progress through pictures on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter using the hashtags #seedsasbeads and #krewedesfleurs. Thanks for making our garden grow!
If you’re lucky enough to receive a commemorative throw, this year it may come to you as either a hair clip, pin or magnet, Other than the backing, this throw is made of completely upcycled materials.

My onions survived. In fact they are doing quite well considering. If you read the previous thread I started I was worried that I lost my 300 onions. As I stated on the other thread the temps here were down to 15 deg w/ a high of 20 deg for three days in a row. I thought for sure I had lost them. I watered them nightly during the freeze, and when the freeze ended I fertilized with 21-0-0. They looked terrible on Feb 3rd when I started the thread. Today is Feb 21 two weeks later. I purchased the onions from Dixondale Farms. They are really good about helping out w/ suggestions about growing onions. They suggested to fertilize w/ 21-0-0 two weeks ago, and they suggested I hit them again tonight. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions earlier. For you folks further north this may help you with your onion crop.


Cherry, Hazelnut & Chocolate

This is yet another example of great quality coffee from Brazil. I've roasted the coffee with all methods of brewing in mind, so this will be suitable for espresso and filtered brewing alike. Expect to find a great balance between a hazelnut and chocolate character. Enjoy.
Fazenda Lacador is located in the Cerrado close to an altitude of 880 metres and covers a total area of 855ha with coffee. On the farm 20% of the land is allocated to permanent natural forest reserves, which is six times more than the legal requirement under Brazilian law. The varietals planted are Catuaí, Mundo Novo, Acaiá, Araras.
This lot is a blend of Mundo Novo and Acaia and this coffee has been mechanically harvested. After being harvested the coffee is then separated out due to density and ripeness in the wet mill. This process also allows to clean the coffee from any foreign objects like twigs that are caught in the harvesting.
The coffee is then taken to the patios where it is then dried for the next 7-10 days. On the patios the coffee is regularly turned to ensure even drying. Once the moisture is down to below 11% the coffee is then left to rest before being milled and prepared for shipment.

Two annual festivals will be held in Iceland next weekend to mark the beginning of the berry picking season: Blueberry Days in Súðavík in the West Fjords and Berry Nights in Ólafsfjörður, which is also an art and music festival. Both festivals run from August 16 to 18.

“There’s an outlook for a marvelous berry harvest in North and East Iceland,” physician and berry enthusiast Sveinn Rúnar Hauksson told . These regions have seen the most sun this summer.
“It appears that the harvest in West Iceland will not be as good as expected,” he added.
Sveinn said that he doubts the harvest will be particularly good in South and Southwest Iceland either, although pickers in the capital region can look around for blueberries and crowberries at Þingvellir, Mosfellsheiði, Kjós, Heiðmörk and Hvalfjörður.
On the bright side, the rainy summer in South and Southwest Iceland has resulted in a good harvest for mushrooms, as nurse and mushroom enthusiast Ása Margrét Ásgrímsdóttir told mbl.is.


Rare waterlilies face tough season
Martin Staines and his wife Kathy grow tropical waterlilies at Leuca Creek, in WA's Margaret River region, one of only a handful of Australian companies to do so.
The delicate flowers are sent as far away as Europe but this season has been tough, with the number harvested halved after a particularly cold winter.
There is something about waterlilies that seems to appeal to almost everybody. Everybody oohs and aahs about them.
It's a seven-month picking season, some days we spend eight hours in the pond. In winter, it gets as cold as 12 degrees. It's a labour-intensive process.
They reward you with a beautiful flower when things go well but they're temperamental. They're hard to grow and hard to grow consistently.
We do get the ruler out for a particularly large flower and measure how big it is. If it is particularly big we take it home and don't sell it! We enjoy it ourselves.
This year has been a tough winter. We lost plants, [we] have to re-establish them.
Normally we pick say 500-odd flowers a day. It's about half this season, it's been very painful.
During the season we pick, wash and bunch flowers and then pack them. They are shipped out three times a week.
My wife is in Bali at our waterlily farm there. She's the one who really keeps us going when things get tough, we do this together every day.
We still do it after 12 years with a lot of gratitude for what we started. It was risky at the beginning.

Blue Velvet is 50% indica/ 50% sativa although the indica genetics are the dominant ones which tend to be expressed more clearly. The parent genetics come from Purple Thai (a cross of Oaxaca Gold and a special Chocolate Thai) and a powerful Afghani Indica. Indoors Blue Velvet will give good yields, though she will often remain short at around 50-60cm, therefore she is good in SOG (sea-of-green) grows. Blue Velvet forms a sturdy main bloom frosted with lots of resin, indoors she requires 8 weeks to flower. Outdoors she is ready by the end of September/early October. She may show blue colourations especially when exposed to cooler indoor growing conditions or when grown outdoors. When grown outdoors in a good climate Blue Velvet can reach 2-3m tall. She is celebrated for an uplifting effect with a fruity floral taste. Blue Velvet is an old classic and connoisseur favourite, very potent and highly recommended.

Oregon Women For Ag Looks To Grow In The Gorge
Oregon Women For Agriculture’s Columbia Gorge chapter is continuing to look to grow after being reformed a few months ago. The organization’s Josie Miller says they have about 35 members now, and they plan to be out in the community over the next few months, noting their role is to educate, promote, and unite. The group plans to be out and about during the Northwest Cherry Festival in The Dalles in late April, and the organization helps provide the crop signs on area highways indicating what is being raised in various fields. Miller says those who are interest in joining Oregon Women For Agriculture are invited to come to a meeting, which takes place the third Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the Farm Service Agency office on 2325 River Road in The Dalles. The organization’s website is owaonline.org.

Community groups urged to apply for gardening expert help
Community groups across Shropshire can apply to get help and support from Dobbies, the garden centre company.
The 2023 Helping Your Community Grow campaign in its Shrewsbury and Telford stores will see a community group in Shropshire receive gardening products, support and expertise from the Dobbies’ team to transform a space.
Now in its 13th year, Helping Your Community Grow has sustainability at its core and encourages people across the country to care for, nurture and protect their green spaces.
Dobbies is calling on local groups in Shropshire that want to help their community space thrive in a sustainable way to get in touch. Whether it's a school allotment project that allows kids to learn about the health and environmental benefits of growing fruit and vegetables; a community garden or space, looking to bring the outside in; or a charity looking to create a sensory garden to encourage everyone outdoors, it says it wants to positively impact communities through its love of gardening.
Graeme Jenkins, CEO of Dobbies said: “Community is at the heart of what we do at Dobbies and we're proud to bring back Helping Your Community Grow for the 13th year.
"As we’re committed to environmentally-friendly practices, we’re especially interested in hearing from projects in Shropshire with sustainability at their core. As always, our teams will share their expertise in products and practices to ensure an eco-friendly approach."
Eligible groups must be located within 20 miles of Dobbies’ Shrewsbury and Telford stores. A shortlist of community groups for each store will be made and Dobbies will call on members of the public to vote for their favourite project. Based on the public vote, there will be one winner per store, with the project receiving the most votes securing the national winner title. They will receive additional funding and support.
In addition there will be further opportunities for community groups looking for support, with small grants available from their nearest Dobbies store.

Time is running out for ornamental growers to showcase their achievements. Entries for the prestigious AIPH International Grower of the Year (IGOTY) Awards 2024 close on 30th June 2023.
Established by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in partnership with FloraCulture International (FCI), the IGOTY Awards have been championing outstanding achievement in the ornamentals sector since 2009. They recognise best practice in horticultural production by the top ornamental production nurseries from around the globe, celebrating the expertise and energy they give to horticulture. The awards also stimulate and promote best practice by giving global attention to outstanding producers and promoting knowledge throughout the industry.
The awards comprise five categories:
- Finished plants and trees
- Young plants
- Cut flowers and bulbs
- Inspiring business
From among these categories, only one winner will be crowned the ‘AIPH International Grower of the Year 2024’ and receive the ‘Gold Rose’ – the industry’s most coveted prize.
In January 2023, Brookdale Treeland Nurseries Ltd (BTN) was announced as International Grower of the Year 2023 and won the Gold Rose award. BTN is one of the largest and most respected growers of garden plants in Canada. With four farms in Ontario and one in British Columbia, they have a land base of more than 800 acres.
In an interview with FCI, BTN’s CEO Jeff Olsen said: “Personally, this is a highlight of my career and makes me so proud to be named IGOTY 2023 among such a prestigious group of companies. For BTN, this award validates the hard work that our team has been doing and motivates them to push further.
“We set a goal to win this award as a part of our Strategic Planning Process, as we knew how the recognition would be great for our business. I sit on many industry boards and always recommend applying to my peers.”
Candidates can enter the IGOTY Awards 2024 online and entry closes on Friday 30th June 2023. Judging will then take place by a panel of industry experts who will access the entrants on five key criteria; economic performance, innovation, market insight, sustainability and human resources policy.
All winners will be announced at an Awards ceremony in January 2024 alongside IPM Essen. To find out more about the IGOTY Awards and to enter, visit the Event Page. For queries on entering the awards please contact: firstname.lastname@example.org
International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH)
Since 1948, AIPH has united horticultural producers in an international community that thrives to this day. Much has changed in that time. Technologies advanced, cities rose from the ground, and we have become more connected than ever. As a result, our essential bond with nature has been weakened. AIPH strives to reignite and uphold an appreciation of plants that we believe is a basic human instinct. We support the work of grower associations globally. Together, we champion a prosperous industry, growing plants that enhance lives, advance societies, and sustain our planet for this generation and the next. www.aiph.org

Trees are everywhere, well except in deserts, but no one lives in the desert, so you’ll almost certainly have trees surrounding you wherever you live. You may have a tree or two growing on your lawn, and if so there’s nothing you can do to prevent the tree limbs or branches falling on your lawn. If you have many trees on or near your lawn, you will definitely find tree branches on your lawn on a daily basis. However instead of getting annoyed and trying (or paying) to cut down the tree, there are several things you can do with the tree branches. With so many tiny twigs to huge branches falling on your lawn, there’s no need to throw them away when you can use it for your own benefit.
If you have a garden, then tree limbs and branches might be ideal for you away from the lawn. If you have a vegetable garden, you can use the tree limbs and branches to support the vegetables as they grow. For example, if you have garden peas, you’ll definitely find the importance of using a tree branch for support. You can also use trees to support tomato and cucumber vegetable plants. Besides structural support there is so much that you can do with broken branches in your garden, including constructing borders and other features.
If you have a fire pit in your garden or a fireplace in your house, then tree branches are a blessing. These are the ideal place for you to dispose of branches by burning them. You can use small twigs to start the fires and then put in the larger wood. If you don’t have a fireplace or pit, you can be sure that someone does, so get advertising!
If you have a real abundance of branches on your lawn, you can hire or buy a wood chipper and chip the wood. The resulting chips can then be spread on perennial plants or elsewhere on your garden acting as an ideal mulching material. By doing this you will be able to keep your plants hydrated and cool in much the same way as other mulching material offers.
So there you have it, if you generally like your trees it’s far better to get some use out of the small inconvenience they generate than to have to resort to removing them altogether.

A consultative process on the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan opens on Wednesday, September 11 and will continue until October 11.
Michael Creed, the agriculture minister, launched the call for submissions as part of the process under which each member state is required to conduct a strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat analysis.
All member states are required to engage with civil society and stakeholders.
Mr Creed said the shape and design of Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan will be critical in determining how farmers operate over the next seven years.
“There will be an emphasis on our farmers to deliver more in terms of their environmental commitments, while at the same time continuing to produce food to the highest standards of quality and safety,” he said.
“The CAP Strategic Plan must also demonstrate its commitment to the ongoing development of rural areas, the creation of employment and, critically, to make a real contribution to environmental sustainability.”
Submissions can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.org or to CAP Rural Development Division, Dept of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, Kildare St, Dublin 2, D02 WK12.

The Sturgis Community Garden Project began in 2012. Two garden areas have been created to allow citizens who may not have room for a garden at their home or apartment a place to plant and raise produce. The Sturgis Parks Department helps with tilling and water is available at both sites. The plots are leased out each year for a nominal fee to cover the costs of water and insurance. Both gardens are fenced and each garden area contains one shed for garden tools. An application process is in place for those who want a plot.
City Park Garden 10' x 20' spot = $25.00
Ballpark Road Garden 5' x 4' raised beds = $5.00
The City Park Garden is located west of the soccer fields between Tom's T's and the City Park on Blanche Street.
The Ballpark Garden is located at 1061 Ballpark Road at the Arizona Street intersection.
Applications for the Community Garden are available at the Sturgis Finance Department located at City Hall or you can download the application and turn it into the Finance Office along with payment prior to March 29. You must pay when you turn in your application. If you are not awarded a spot, you will receive a full refund. A kick-off meeting for all gardeners will be held later in the spring.
Community Garden Applications will be taken March 1-29 at the City Finance Office. Those gardeners who had a spot the previous year will get preference for the same location. Any spots no assigned will be allocated in a lottery-style drawing in mid-April. To apply, simply fill out the online application and bring it to the City Finance Office or pick up an application at the Finance Office. Community Garden Registration Form
