Lodi's annual Farmers Market begins at 5 p.m. Thursday between Pine and Walnut streets in downtown Lodi.
"We look forward to the ambiance - return of farmers, produce and Lodi community to this year's Farmers Market," said Phil Biddle, chairman of the Farmers Market Committee and owner of Vine and Branches bookstore.
This year's Farmers Market will start with the same number of vendors as it had at the end of the 2002 market. The opening is a week earlier than last year.
"It is a full market," said Angie Nicholas, administrative coordinator for the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership. There will be approximately 18 farmers and 35 craft venders, she said.
Jon Tecklenburg, the Farmers Market grower's manager, said there will be less growers at the start of the market this year due to a combination of late storms and intense heat this spring. Melons, sweet corn and tomatoes won't be ready to sell in late July, about two or three weeks later than usual.
"One thing a farmer can't make up for is time," Tecklenburg said, referring to the fact that when he planted his ambrosia melons and can-dews in early April, the soil temperature dropped soon after and part of his crop died.
However, because the Farmers Market is starting a week early this year, there will be asparagus and cherry vendors, something previous Lodi Farmers Markets have not seen. Also, for nectarine and peach lovers, the early start this year will mean a sweet early crop.
Despite the changes, Tecklenburg is sure that the market will live up to its reputation. He participates in 19 Farmers Markets during the week - from San Mateo to Tracy and from Stockton to Sacramento.
"Lodi has always been a premier market and I don't expect it will change in quality," he said.
One of the things that has helped the Lodi Farmers Market climb to the top of its field is probably its ability to evolve.
This year, instead of hiring entertainers, Lodi is hoping to host the town's own talent through a "Star Search."
There were about 30 to 40 entries to create a poster for the contest, but still no one has applied to participate in the event itself. The DLBP is looking for Lodians who can sing, dance or have a promising band.
Another positive change at this year's market will be the increased number of local restaurants involved in supplying the food booths. According to Biddle, when Lodi's Farmers Market started nine years ago there were only a dozen eateries in the downtown area, which forced the Farmers Market to recruit outside food sources.
This is the first year Lodi encouraged its own food businesses to participate in the market. Food venders will include Rosewood, Scooters, Cafe Bistro, Tillie's and Cafe Yogurt as well as others. The California Ice and Kettle Corn booths will be among the veteran food vendors involved.
"We want to keep our money here so it makes sense to use local restaurants," Biddle said.
Individuals or groups interested in the Lodi Star Search can call the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership office at 369-8052 or visit the Web site at http://home.downtownlodi.com for an application.

Designed to produce dense, well-shaped bales even in the most difficult conditions.
OLATHE, KANSAS (August 21, 2014) — John Deere introduces two new L Series Square Balers, the L330 and the L340, to expand hay-baling solutions to Deere’s extensive portfolio of commercial hay equipment. These large balers are designed to maximize performance, increase uptime, and lower the overall cost of operation for commercial hay equipment owners and operators.
“We’ve been working for years to develop a large square baler that will meet the tough demands of our commercial hay customers,” says Jeremy Unruh, product line manager, Ottumwa Works. “And now we’re very pleased to launch the new L Series Square Balers with High-Capacity Rotor™ to offer more efficiency, capacity, and performance to commercial hay producers in the U.S. and Canada.”
The balers are designed with two working widths, 83-inch for the L330 and 90-inch for the L340. These high-capacity balers feature a heavy-duty drivetrain with a 45 stroke-per-minute gear box to transfer power to other components. The 330 Baler produces a 3- x 3-foot. square bale and the 340 Baler produces a 3- x 4-foot square bale.
“The L Series Square Balers use a dependable gear and shaft drive for the main components including the stuffer system and knotter drive system,” explains Unruh. “And, the high-capacity rotor is driven with a cam clutch protected chain. Bottom line, these new balers redefine large square baler performance with added capacity and durability built into very machine.”
A special heavy-duty single-fork system compresses the crop tightly before transferring the hay into the bale case, creating dense well-shaped bales in the most difficult conditions. A new on-board hydraulic density control allows the in-cab monitor to control hydraulic pressure on the cylinders against the bale case. Even when the moisture content changes, the pre-set density for the bales do not.
“We’ve designed the L330 with three hydraulic cylinders and the L340 with four hydraulic cylinders to adjust bale case tension,” says Unruh. “This durable density control system ensures the production of consistent, well-shaped large bales regardless of changing field conditions.”
The L Series Square Balers also feature dependable double-tie knotters with an integrated lubrication system. They are designed with a replaceable billhook and wiper plate for easier knotter repair and servicing. Also, hydraulically-operated knotter cleaning fans keep trash and debris out of the knotter system. This helps to improve overall knotter performance with very few misses throughout an entire harvest season.
“Another great feature is the hydraulic roller chute, last bale ejection system,” says Unruh. “This feature allows an operator who needs to clean out the last bale for each job, to wrap and eject the final bale regardless of size.”
Other features include an optional precutter with 10 knives on the L330 and 23 knives on the L340. The 23 knife precutter has a slide out knife tray for easy access and serviceability. Knife removal does not require any tools.
“The L Series Square Balers have also been designed with new technology in mind,” emphasizes Unruh. “ISOBUS electronics allows the new balers to work with JDLink™ software and are compatible with GreenStar™ displays. Electonic knotter flags come standard on all balers to allow operators easier harvesting and location of bales in the field.”

Day 5: 12 Days of Christmas
One of the best ways to manage risk is by planting a diversified portfolio of seed products that includes minimum of three or four different hybrid numbers in varying maturities. Different flowering dates can help reduce yield loss due to heat during pollination.
LH 4819 SS, designated as one of Latham’s top Gladiator hybrids, is an excellent early product for North Iowa. Not only does it portray a great defensive package needed for tough corn-on-corn situations, but this hybrid is high yielding with excellent test weight. It has good stalks with excellent roots, giving this hybrid healthy late-season intactness. Staygreen allows LH 4819 SS to move south of its comfort zone, too.

Thus endeth the lesson.
there are times when i'm too busy doing and don't
have much energy when done to write much. today was
one of those days.
picked dry beans yesterday from one garden and
shelled some of them, leaving an empty garden with
debris needing to be put under so i could plant
the fall/winter cover crop. today was digging
day, as i'm still chugging along on half power i
was able to get everything buried, but not get
it planted, so that will be tomorrow's chore.
garlic, winter rye, winter wheat will be the crops
for that garden. when i was taking a break between
bouts of digging i shelled beans.
we've already had some light frosts, but the
daytime weather has been perfect for being outside
and getting things done. four more days in the
forecast without rain. i'm good with that, i hope
i can get at least two more of the larger gardens
picked by then, but nothing more than the one
garden tomorrow will likely be planted as it is
more important to get things picked now that they
are dry. the winter crops can wait a week or two
before being planted. most of them are cover

80,000sq ft (1.84 acres), most of it mulched or
planted with low maintenance perennials. a few
gardens are slated for replacement each year and
some get new mulch or different plants added.
the grass is about 5% of what it used to be.
eventually i'll likely get rid of that too.
veggie gardens are pretty low maintenance as
once they are in and weeded once or twice they
are thickly planted so not much else gets going
other than a few weeds here or there. any empty
spaces i plant peas or beans. mulch in some
gardens. a few thousand square feet of these.
several mixed and semi-wild gardens that are
fairly established. a few days a season spent
weeding or planting or trimming/harvesting green

the strawberry patches, mostly established and
only needing some spot weeding or thinning to
restore growth. some of the green manure harvested
in other places goes onto these. after the mid-
summer harvest of strawberries i plant peas, beans,
soybeans scattered on them and then mulch lightly
and water if needed. the peas/beans provide shade
and perk up the soil until the frosts take them
out. the ever-bearing strawberries keep blooming
and setting fruit right up until the frosts.
other wild spaces like the north hedge and the
east side on the other side of the large drainage
ditch are very low maint places. i put about 1
day each into those during the growing season.
i spent more time weeding out morning glory
plants this season. trying to head them off
before they get worse. and once in a while i pick

That would be me except that I am in peninsular Florida, USA, with
similarly warm winters but with nowhere near a "Mediterranean" climate.
The only flowers I fool with are native wildflowers; no "landscaping"
shrubs, at all. Strongly anti-"lawn" and avoid save-the-worlders
whenever possible but try not to be too blatant. Since I garden only
vegetables, my personal interests are in rec.gardens.edible and the
majority of my posts, by far, turn up there.
Spring/summer stuff is pretty much done here in this part of
Florida. Cowpeas (zipper cream) finishing up; late green beans just
coming in well; tomatoes ready to start back up (fingers crossed); fall
yellow squash and cucumbers growing apace. Preparing beds for onions,
garlic, garden peas, mustard greens, turnips, collards, carrots,
lettuce, cauliflower and, maybe, spinach. Test driving additional
varieties of carrots and lettuce, as well as bok choy, Swiss chard
(white beets), rapinni (broccoli raab), celery. Waiting for
temperatures to moderate a bit more before planting cool weather crops.
First autumnal cold front has brought a second day of rain, with
more to come, and a chance of cooler weather, although, we still will
have many 80-degree days before Christmas. Temperatures just get up
there later in the day.
Oh, no. That's a waste. Compost and return it to the garden, not
to the sewer system. Your neighbors never will miss what they never had
and you'll be conserving the fruits of yours and Mother's efforts.
...and the planter is good for a few more years, right?
I don't recall ever seeing a So. Cal. gardening newsgroup. I have
always lived within a 35 mile radius of the Sepulvida Pass and have been
gardening since 1966.
Most of my musings about gardening are found in my garden diary. See

For the info of those in different areas, this "Mediterranean" climate is a

I often describe our climate as having a dry season and a not-so-dry
season. There have been 142 consecutive days without measurable rain in
the current "rain year" (October through September). We sometimes go
more than 200 days. On the average, more than 2/3 of our rain falls in
December, January, and February.
In the rain year now ending, we got a total of 5.2 inches (13.2 cm)
measurable rain in my area. In Malibu about 10 miles away, the total
has been 9.1 inches (23.1 cm). In some areas of California, this is a
record-breaking dry rain year; but my local area's recent most dry rain
year was 2006-2007, when only 4.4 inches (11.2 cm) of rain fell. Unlike
then, when a state-wide drought emergency was declared, we started the
current rain year with reservoirs holding above-average amounts of water.

Aiming at the promotion of exports of mangoes as well as other tropical fruit, a Reverse Buyer-Seller Meet (RBSM) will be organised in Mumbai according to a report by F&B News. The fruits besides mangoes include pomegranate, pineapple, bananas and jackfruit and the meet will help in developing new markets for their exports.
Mango & Tropical Fruit Export
The report further says that the RBSM is to be held over a period of two days and is being organised by Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, in association with PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “Fifty buyers and importers from 20 countries, including Japan, China, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Iran, Bahrain Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Israel, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Mauritius, Malaysia, Greece, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, are joining the meet,” said D K Singh, chairman, APEDA to F&B News.
“Thirteen state horticulture departments and 36 major and small fruit exporters shall be displaying mangoes, other tropical fruits and their processed products. Arrangements have been made for the wet sampling of mangoes,” he added. “The buyers joining from various countries will be taken for an escorted tour of the post-harvest treatment facilities, such as irradiation facility, hot water dip and vapour heat treatment at APEDA/National Plant Protection Organisation- (NPPO) recognised pack house in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, as a trust-building exposure visit to demonstrate India’s preparedness for export of pest- and disease-free produce.”
He elaborated on how elated they feel over the organisation of this meet saying, “It is highly encouraging for us to note and share that there is increasing acceptance of horticulture produce and exports from the country. In 2016-17, India exported fresh fruits and vegetables worth $1.6 billion and processed fruits and vegetables worth $1.1 billion to over 40 countries. The total export of mangoes and mango pulp from India was 59.22 thousand tonne, and 1, 35,621.22 metric tonne, valued at $66.94 million and $129.29 million, respectively, in 2016-17.”
While talking to F&B News he also added, “Concerted efforts have been made by the government as well as the private sector towards concurrent developments in the areas of cold chain infrastructure and pack houses with state-of-the-art technology and quality assurance measures such as hot water and vapour heat treatment and irradiation; setting up of centres for perishable cargo at airports, integrated post-harvest handling facilities, capacity building initiatives at the farm level and with processors and exporters has also contributed towards export development.”
“Events such as RBSMs and focused marketing and export promotion initiatives in foreign fairs and countries to promote Indian produce are critical strategies for winning the trust of foreign buyers and to ensure a secure place for India as a reliable supplier of fruits and vegetables to the world,” said Anil Khaitan, president, PHD Chamber told F&B News.
“I am sure the event will result in giving a further fillip to the exports of processed and fresh fruits and vegetables from the country and ensuring that new markets open up, and besides Alphonso and Kesar, other varieties grown in the northern states, like Langda, Dussehri, Totapuri, Chausa, Sindoori, etc. will also get visibility,” he added.


Broadview Walnut Trees
The Broadview Walnt Tree is a self fertile deciduous cultivar. This walnut is a popular choice of walnut to grow in our gardens.

|When to plant||
A medium sized self fertile deciduous tree with distinctive ridged bark and aromatic foliage turning butter yellow in autumn. Insignificant female flowers and male catkins are followed by a delicious abundance of nuts in the autumn providing a valuable source of phosphorus.
It can be kept to a manageable size of around 12-15ft (3-4 metres) with regular pruning, making it suitable for smaller gardens, pruning also encourages heavier fruiting. With the right care prolific fruiting may begin after just three years of being planted.
Walnuts do not need a lot of maintenance. They prefer sun and a heavy moist soil and in spring, weed, mulch and spray with seaweed solution.
In summer young fruit can be picked for pickling and come autumn enjoy the wonderful bounty of nuts the tree provides. Walnuts must only be pruned in autumn as they bleed in spring. They usually require minimal pruning but branches can become massive so remove badly positioned ones early.
The tree is not very valuable for wildlife but provides shelter and beauty on the landscape. and Not that we want any more grey squirrels but Red squirrels used to thrive on the nuts.
Broadview copes well in the British climate, largely because its leaves appear quite late in the season meaning that it is less susceptible to frost damage in Spring than other varieties.
Pinnate leaves around 25-40cm long, each with 5-9 leaflets
Attractive mid green foliage
Bark is smooth when young, developing large fissures as it matures
Ultimate height and spread (if left unpruned) 30ft x 20ft
Nuts split open when ready for harvest in autumn – usually around late October


To start off with, I tried to make a solution which I estimated should have come out to a pH of 6, which I understand is generally too low for mold to grow in, but should still be in the range for wheat to grow (at least, if it were soil instead of water). My math was averaging out the pH of water (7) and vinegar (2), which should have been 4 parts water and 2 parts vinegar. I still have some doubts whether averaging actually applies to a solution like this, but I thought I'd give it a try. (It probably would have been more accurate if I had dug out the pH test strips). Unfortunately, even though I only soaked it in that solution for 1 day, after 4 days (the last 3 being in water-only), I still wasn't seeing sprouts. I gave up on that batch.

Honduras SHG Microlot - Justino Ardon Ayala *TOP LOT*
|Bag Weight||69 KG BAG|
About This Coffee
This is a washed SHG microlot from producer Justino Ardon Ayala and his farm Los Narajos in the Celaque region of western Honduras.
Justino Ardon Ayala founded his farm Los Naranjos in 1985. He cultivates the catimor varieties of IHCAFE 90 and Lempira at altitudes of 1,450masl.
Before getting into coffee, Justino worked 20 years in HONDUTEL (the honduran telecommunication's company) as a telegrapher. In 1988, while working that same job, he bought a 0.70 ha plot of land on which he worked every weekend until he managed to fill it with coffee.
From here, little by little, Justino continued buying more land and kept planting not only coffee but also fruit and timber trees. Thanks to the gradual profits earned from coffee, he was able to improve his wetmill, building a concrete structure in place of makeshift timber boxes. He also was able to built a concrete patio for drying.
In 2013, he built a 1.5 km road to access his farm, allowing for easier movement of coffee and equipment to and from his farm. Today, Justino owns a total area of 7.7 ha, where 5ha is planted with coffee that is processed at his facilities in the community of Suanoy, La Campa, in the department of Lempira.
Justino is currently in the process of gaining RFA, UTZ and Organic certification for his farm.
Harvesting is carried out selectively and by hand. Ripe cherries are mechanically pulped and fermented in concrete tanks for 12-14 hours depending on ambient conditions. After thorough washing, the parchment coffee is sun-dried on concrete patios for 6-8 days (until the optimum moisture content is reached.) At this point the coffee is rested in a clean, cool and dry environment before secondary processing (milling, grading, sorting).

Oops, I bought Bush Zucchini seeds. Do these need a tomato cage type support or a stake or what is best for them? I have a trellis available to them but ...guess they don't need it. If they don't sprout soon I'm just going to go buy some plants and make sure they are the vining type.
I bought the bush type of zucchini, too. I planted mine in the 2'x2' corner of my L-shaped bed. I also planted one in a 5-gallon bucket raised up by 2 bricks and holes drilled in the bottom for drainage. The zucchini in the raised bed will probably get some kind of tomato cage support to keep it from going too crazy and invading other squares.

Uhhh... if your bush zucchini are anything like mine they will get BIG. I have two in the ground and they each occupy 9 squares - and I mean TOTALLY occupy the squares. There leaves and steams are such that I couldn't plant anything in the adjacent squares even if I wanted to.

So in this set-up, can I probably just lean them over this arbor thing in the middle? They are planted to the left of the arch, in those 4 closest squares. They won't have as much room as they are supposed to, but they'll live. Two cukes (vine) and two zukes (bush).

So what's new in the garden - the dahlias have started to produce their first flowers and have a profusion of buds so I am expecting a good display this year, espacially from the plants we raised from cuttings as they are looking really healthy - they must love the old rose bed with all that FYM incorporated into the soil.
The Sweet Peas continue to flourish too - both on the border wigwams and an the cordon system - the last couple of weeks I have managed to fill a flower bucket for Sally for the house.
In the greenhouse, I have fiurther denuded the tomatoes of foliage as time is marching on and we have only one tomato trying it's very best to ripen, The onions are drying out nicely and should soon be ready to string up a la Onion Johnny. I finished pricking out the first tray of Canterbury Bells today whilst we had a short burst of rain - two trays to go and we already have 146 in modules - no excuses for empty gaps in the borders next year. The salad leaves continue to provide a plentiful supply as does the Perpetual Spinach.
Outside in the veg plot, I picked a 3litre pot of peas today - there is a huge crop of the ever dependable Hurst Greenshaft -an excellent garden pea, and I even picked 4 runner beans which had got the jump on the rest. Add in the carrots and ytatties and that was todays harvest.
Other than that I started to weed the top border - managed 3/4 of it, will finish it next week then start on the other border. So what's new in the borders - other than the dahlias above. First off is Verbena Hastata "Blue Spires"
and then we have Echinacea purpurea...................
The Heleniums, which have been poor doers since being planted, have finally decided that they really should get a shift on (maybe they overheard me talking about them taking a trip to the compost heap)
And although looking pretty scruffy this year, the Achillea are flowering like good 'uns...
And one of my fave plants - the Eryngium or Sea Holly.....
The raspberries continue to crop well for their first year in the ground - as do the strawberries. However, I don't think we'll get tp eat many strawbs as the mice have found them first and have nibbled away any ripe or near ripe berries.
That's it for now - I am staging an exhibit of 12 Sweet Peas (Mixed Varieties) on behalf of Sally at Alnes Hortucultural Society's Autumn Show this Saturday, so watch this space to see how we get on - and pray that Friday is nice, warm, sunny and dead calm, so that we have plenty of nice clean stems to choose from.
And finally............. here is a pic of the border as of today

The press wires lit up this week with news that ChemChina's $43 billion deal to buy Syngenta got approval from two key markets. The U.S. approval came through Tuesday, April 4 and the EU followed the next day. This follows word that the Dow/DuPont deal got conditional European Commission approval earlier in March and as part of that DuPont sold some key tech to FMC.
For Syngenta, both regional approvals come with stipulations that must be met for the deals to close. Here's a look at what we know about the stipulations by market area.
US pushes sale of key products
In review by the Federal Trade Commission it was found that there could be "significant competitive harm in the U.S." for three pesticides:
- The herbicide paraquat, used for clearing fields prior to the growing season.
- The insecticide abamectin, used primarily with citrus and tree nut crops to kill mites, psyllid and leafminers.
- The fungicide chlorothalonil, used mainly in the potato and peanut markets.
Syngenta has branded products in each of those categories with significant market share in the U.S. ChemChina's subsidiary Adama happens to be first or second in market position for generic versions of these same products. As part of the U.S. deal ChemChina would sell all rights and assets of Adama's U.S. paraquat, abamectin and chlorothalonil businesses to California-based AMVAC.
This deal is part of a consent decree from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and is key to approval of the ChemChina/Syngenta deal. The FTC consent decree is subject to public comment for 30 days beginning April 4. After that the commission will decide whether to make the proposed consent order final.
Competitive concerns differ in the EU
The European Commission looked at a range of issues as part of its approval of the deal including concerns regarding fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and seed treatment products. As part of those concerns ChemChina agreed to a wide range of commitments so the deal could go through, and the EC has agreed.
Those moves include the fact that ChemChina will divest a significant part of Adama's existing pesticide business including fungicides for cereals, fruits and oilseed rape; herbicides for cereals, corn, sunflower and vegetables; insecticides for cereals, corn, fruits, oilseed rape, and vegetables; and its seed treatment products for cereals and sugar beets.
Some of Syngenta's pesticides, "notably fungicides for vegetables; and herbicides for cereals, vegetables and sunflower would be sold," according to the commission. When queried by Farm Industry News, a Syngenta spokesman only noted that they could be no more specific about would be sold than what was listed by the European Commission, which was the vague statement about fungicides and herbicides.
In addition, 29 of Adama's generic pesticides under development and access to third parties to studies and field trials for the products would be sold.
A significant part of Adama's plant growth regulator business for cereals is to be divested.
And finally relevant intangible assets underpinning divested pesticide and plant growth regulator products would be sold; and the company would also make available relevant personnel.
While AMVAC is listed as the U.S. buyer for the assets listed in that agreement, no buyer was listed by the European Commission. How that shakes out remains to be seen. FMC made its deal with DuPont last week and its chair is on the record saying the company is not in the market for more spin-off products.
BASF is often rumored as a potential buyer of spin-off properties. It remains to be seen who snatches up the generic products that ChemChina is spinning off; and what products Syngenta will be forced to sell.
The ChemChina/Syngenta deal is expected to close the second quarter of 2017; and it appears to be on track.

In 2000, sixty-two Honduran farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic production and formed COMSA (Café Organico Marcala, S.A.). In 2001, fostered by a foundation called Funder, COMSA earned their organic certification from Bio Latina which has enabled them to market their coffee to more international buyers and realize better selling prices for their coffee. COMSA funds many local projects including paying teacher salaries and buying school supplies.

Q.White Calla Lilies Did Not Bloom
I planted giant mail order white Calla lilies in containers outdoors this spring. Got great looking foliage but no blooms. Fertilized monthly and kept moist but no lilies. Plants look great and are still growing in an enclosed but unheated patio. I’m about to let them go dormant but how can I ensure blooms next year?

From major renovations to homes, everyone in the city is experiencing a shortage of onions for the first time. The reason for this is the short supply from Maharashtra and Karnataka.
A few days ago, prices of Karnataka onions, which are supposed to be grade-2 onions, fell. The price of onions is about Rs 110 when the Maharashtra onions come on Friday and Saturday. But again there was a sudden shortage in the city.
On the Malakpet market today there are only 2,000 quintals of onions and 10,000 quintals are being obtained every day.
There has been no supply of onions from Kurnool district in AP and whatever comes from Telangana is during Rabi season i.e., between October to February.
The city is complaining about the price hike which is actually sustained for longer time. They are demanding solution from the government.
Some days ago, officials said that Hyderabad will import onions from Egypt due to which the price may go down by RS 60 to 80. However, no dip in the prices was seen.
Officials told a daily newspaper that the price of onions will come down by January i.e., by mostly Sankranti.

Most people think of beets as the purple root vegetables, but that's just one variety. There are also sugar beets, which play a big role in table sugar production. Then there are more surprising members of the beet family, like chard, which has brightly colored stems. The beet's red color comes from betalin and stains absolutely everything it touches. Some people can't break this color down, so they will even pee purple and red if they eat beets!

We're starting 2023 with a stunning coffee from Mexico, representing the excellent coffee from the dedicated care of smallholder farmer Maria Marcelo. Maria cultivates approximately 12,000 Typica, Bourbon, and Colombia coffee trees, practicing intercropping along with plantains, oranges, and limes. Finca Encino is located in the north of the Mexican state of Guerrero. The character of this coffee is partly defined by the rugged and mountainous forest, cool winds and plentiful rain, and proximity to the Pacific coast, which relieves the tree from hot summer temperatures. Due to this terroir and the abundant trees, Maria produces exceptional coffees, especially given the relatively low elevation.
After carefully harvesting the ripest cherries, they are sorted and sun-dried for two weeks. This coffee showcases intense fruit flavors and acidity. This coffee exhibits initial flavors of blueberry and tamarind, unfolding into warm melon and apricot notes and finishing with a lingering dark chocolate note. All of which are complemented by medium acidity and juicy body.
- Farm: Finca Encino
- Region: Guerrero
- Variety: Colombia, Typica, Bourbon
- Processing: Natural
- Altitude: 1,200 masl

Journalists work as bulk carrier M/V Razoni, carrying a cargo of 26,000 tonnes of corn, leaves Ukraineâ€™s port of Odesa, en route to Tripoli in Lebanon, on Monday. AFP
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres â€œwarmly welcomesâ€ the departure on Monday of a first ship carrying Ukrainian grain under a plan to lift Russia's naval blockade, a spokesperson said.
"The Secretary-General hopes that this will be the first of many commercial ships moving in accordance with the initiative signed, and that this will bring much-needed stability and relief to global food security, especially in the most fragile humanitarian contexts," the UN said in a statement.
The sailing was made possible after TÃ¼rkiye and the United Nations brokered a grain-and-fertiliser export agreement between Russia and Ukraine last month.

"The first grain ship since #RussianAggression has left port. Thanks to the support of all our partner countries & @UN we were able to full implement the Agreement signed in Istanbul," Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday hailed the departure of the first shipment of grain from the port of Odessa since the start of Russia's invasion as a "relief for the world".
"The day of relief for the world, especially for our friends in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, as the first Ukrainian grain leaves Odesa after months of Russian blockade. Ukraine has always been a reliable partner and will remain one should Russia respect its part of the deal," Kuleba tweeted.

It's great news for the local community as the Boorowa Community Garden will be holding seven workshops following a successful application for funding from Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN).
MPHN are providing grants through the Australian government's PHN program and Empowering Communities Program to support communities living with the impacts of drought.
These workshops are open to all, young and old.
It’s all about relaxing, enjoying a few hours in the fresh air, having fun, and learning some easy and low cost methods to grow fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit.
Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
The first workshop is on April 6 and will demonstrate how to make a water saving wicking bed.
Participants will also go home with an easy to make wicking pot for raising young seedlings.
Following the generous assistance provided by Hilltops Council, plus lots of hard work from the volunteers, the site is now ready to begin in earnest.
A garden shed and shade house will be constructed in coming weeks, plus a 30 meter trellis for espaliering fruit trees.
A big thank you to the wonderful local businesses for their support.
In particular: Bendigo Bank, Thompson's Rural Supplies, Thrifty Link Hardware, Kanga Hardware, Boorowa IGA, Stonehaven Furniture, Boorowa Tyre Service, MA Steel Yass, Boorowa Newsagency, and Vision Concrete.
If you are interested in attending the upcoming workshop or becoming a volunteer, please contact David Evans 6385 1109, Ros Gibson 6227 2141, or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

R Green Gang has had to stop until further notice.
"R Green Gang"
We will be outside every Monday & Thursday: 3.10-4.00 pm, if and when we ever get back to normal.....
Please collect your children from the office at 4.00pm
(You will be notified on the R Green Gang News link, by note or text if there are any cancellations)
We incorporate eco/environmental aspects also - we are going to continue with our Polli:Nation School aims ..............SH
The pinks have really popped now!! And the bees are loving the chives but are as anti-photo as I am LOL
Hope you are all well....and being kind to each other
My chilli seeds still only have two leaves but I shall persevere
Not sure what I think of the garlic chives.....Hope you had some success with yours, those of you that didn't replant (drop) yours in the reading area...
We have some vivid orange flowers but I'm not sure if they are the zinnia or calendula - have misplaced pictures!
The peas are nearly ready to plant.
The broad beans had a bit of a blip, normally it is pigeons that peck things out but I saw the guilty culprits in action..... the chickens. Who don't know the difference between the weeds and the plants!! The other beans are still making their minds up. Will wait and see. Take care
Monday 16th March
Our last session - for the foreseeable future..... Some of us planted up some more broad beans, others decided to get artistic and got on with making cards and pictures for Mothering Sunday. Stay safe.
Monday 9th March
It was very drizzly today......
We have sown some peas (early onward), dwarf beans (purple tepee? saved seeds) and runner beans (saved seeds). And a few sunflowers. R Green Gang who took their pots home, remember if you need new pots to grow them on, let me know...
BTW, I have a couple of chilli seedlings starting to sprout
Monday 2nd March
Today some of R Green Gang planted Zinnia seeds to bring home - "Easy to grow vividly bright orange flowers" so it says on the packet....
They need to be kept indoors, moist but not soaking. They will hopefully start to shoot after 14 days. I shall let you know how mine get on.....
The rest of the crew planted cabbage seeds. If they grow we are going to let the butterflies have them!!
Monday 24th February
R Green Gang planted some seeds to try and grow at home so we can enter the horticultural show in September....
Everyone has chives in the smaller pot. The larger pot will be sweet peppers or chilli peppers depending on what they chose.
Put the pots on a (light not all shade) windowsill (on old lid or saucer) and give them a bit of water - don't drown or float seeds away! Check regularly so they don't dry out completely.
Finger's crossed some grow....
Guess which school won the heaviest sunflower head competition......click on the file below
Green Flag presented ! (by Lee Jowett)
Now to find a prominent place to display it...
Spot found, not that prominent -
have you spotted it??
June 1st 2020
Poppies are popping up, as are some ox eye daisies.....
Nick Packham from the organisation "Buglife" came to help enhance our "outdoor classroom".
R Green Gang had to work very hard (and very quickly - darkness was fast approaching) to rake and scrape the area so we could sow some wildflower seeds. Some were sprinkled on the prepared patches. Then there was the scatter sow - which was fun......
My favourite bit was the penguin shuffle to firm the seeds into the ground.
Fingers crossed the birds don't find all the seeds and that we have a mini meadow in the spring and summer..... SH


Here’s Hawkeye with fresh-picked lettuce and arugula from the cold frame on December 23rd. This is what I call living large! (Okay, the tattered basket might not qualify as “large”. New baskets are on the list!) We’ve had snow since then and wouldn’t be getting anymore growth from the plants anyway, so that’s it for us for the rest of the Winter. Lettuce should be ready again by mid-March. Beets, carrots and scallions are planted in the cold frame too, but this is our first try at over-wintering them so I’ve no idea what to expect. All of next season’s veggie seeds have been ordered, and the Seed Savers Exchange and Johnny’s…
Virgin coconut oil is one of my favorite oils. Besides the beautiful natural aroma, it’s an easy and effective hair conditioner adding shine as well as repairing dry and damaged hair. This is coconut oil infused with lavender flower, holy basil leaf, and rosemary leaf; herbs that condition, reduce tangles, strengthen hair, and stimulate growth. Don’t you just love that green? With jojoba oil, hemp seed oil, and lavender, holy basil and rosemary essential oils added, this is what I’ve been using to deep condition the “supercrunch” I’ve got goin’ on (my hair is so dry right now it actually sounds crunchy!). Split ends be gone!

Q.Gardenia With Lots Of Old Wood And New Growth At The Very Ends Only.
My gardenias are very old – probably 12 – 15 years old. I’m not sure how to describe it but there is so much tall leggy brown wood with very little new growth until you reach the ends. It blooms like crazy but it’s ugly from where the new growth begins to the ground. Is there any method to trim it so there is more new grown closer to the ground? One was too close to my house so I cut the back side of it and that part never grew back so I’m afraid to cut the other ones I have. Sorry this is so long and so poorly described. Any help would be appreciated.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
When you cut a branch, it will never grow back. It will be replaced with another in another location, however.
Hard pruning can be done to restore an old Gardenia, but fertilization may be required, as well.
Here are two articles that will help you:


The Farm Bill
Even though the Farm Bill deadline has come and gone, it really didn’t have much influence on my planning. I updated my yields, which we haven’t been able to do for a long time, and I took most of the industry professionals and universities’ opinions. The vast majority of economists believe that the ARC-County level was the best option for most individuals. We don’t raise a lot of wheat, so that helped narrow it down some more. We updated some base acres and moved some things around to get a more accurate representation of what we’re doing.
The Farm Bill deadline is coming up at the end of February, and I think most people are up and counting on the ARC option. But the bigger question is whether or not to change any of the base acres. Everybody has to update yields, but it’s probably split down the middle as far as whether they’ll change base acres or not.
We are warming up and drying out quickly here in the Delta. We’ve been in the 60s this week — just warm enough for the mosquitos to come out. I just had to run up to Dulaney’s and pick up some planter attachments and there were planters in the field doing prep work.
Everybody’s already gearing up for planting. We usually shoot for the first couple weeks of March to get out there, depending on the temperature and forecast and all that.
