Cherries in Montana?
The Flathead Lake Region of Montana offers an ideal climate for cherry production. It is approximately 3000 feet above sea level with beautiful, sunny, warm days, and cool evenings. Montana's rocky, well-drained soil and pristine, glacier-fed water supply is well suited for cherry tree growth. Long warm days with plenty of sunshine help develop outstanding fruit. Cool 40-50 degree evenings extend the growing season which allows fruit to mature over a longer period of time. These conditions contribute to the outstanding taste of Montana sweet cherries.
If you drive from Bigfork to Polson you will pass many beautiful cherry orchards, with most orchards on the east shore. While Mother Nature and pollination can influence each year's crop volume, the Flathead area has produced as high as 7 million pounds, but the normal average is approximately 3-5 million pounds. While Montana's crop volume is low in comparison to states like Washington, Montana's cherry reputation has spread across the United States. Our cherries can be found in large grocery chains as far away as California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and the southeast U.S.
Local folks (Montanans) have enjoyed Flathead cherries since before the 1930s. Many Montana families, and now others from around the U.S. and Canada, plan their vacations around visiting their favorite orchards.
Cherry trees were first introduced to Montana in 1866. In 1893 the Flathead Valley was found to be the best climate for growing sweet cherries. Montana's first train car load of Lambert variety cherries left the original packing plant in Kalispell in 1932. In 1935 a cherry grower's cooperative, now called the Flathead Lake Cherry Growers, Inc, was organized. Co-op cherries are locally hydro-cooled and sent overnight to a large packing company in Washington State. Today, there are over 120 growers in the Flathead dedicated to producing one the best tasting cherries available in the U.S.

I did it during an internship back in the summer of 2009. It took a little bit of practice but I got the hang of it pretty quick. After a couple hours I was able to get a node grafted on fairly quickly and about 90% of them took to the vine, if I remember right. We were grafting chardonnay onto winter hardy vines for research. Unfortunately I don't know how it all turned out but having done the grafting in May, the buds were thriving like crazy by mid to late summer.
I am going to try again, this spring, to graft Merlot to DeChaunac. Was not successful last year with any taking. Go on Youtube there are good videos on how to do it. There are a number of ways. The trick is getting the to scab over. Mine kept dripping sap no matter how hard I wrapped them and cut below the graft to release the sap hydronic pressure. I think I cut too deep. You only need to cut below the bark layer. Cutting too deep does not help the bud get the sap. Good luck,

The Towards Employment pathway (a School Leaver Employment Supports pathway) focuses not only on employment skills, but also life skills, where participants can get hands on experiences within the local community to learn and grow new skills that are transferable into everyday living.
Harry, David F, David G, Kartika and Towards Employment facilitator, Hannah visit the OC Connections Mackie Road Neighbourhood House Community Garden, plot every Wednesday to care for their garden. Here they check up on their vegetables and flowers, and undertake tasks such as watering, fertilising, wedding and getting rid of pests.
Earlier in the year the group visited the local Bunnings in Springvale to choose which vegetables they wanted to plant. With support from Hannah, the group planted all the seedlings in May and started the long-awaited countdown for harvest. Prior to reaping the rewards, the group had to continue to tend to their garden.
The participants were supported to work together and create
d a rotating roster for all the tasks that needed to be completed to ensure the garden thrived.
Each participant was able to take a vegetable home with them and share it with their families. Harry’s family made bunless burgers with the lettuce; Kartika’s family made soup from the wombo
ok cabbage, David G’s family incorporated spring onion into their tacos and David F’s family made a yummy salad with the silverbeet!
Teamwork, patience, responsibility, and communication are not just great for gardening but are also important skills that can be implemented into the work environment too. We look forward to seeing what delicious dishes the Towards Employment group will make with their vegetables next time.
If you would like to find out more about Towards Employment opportunities, please contact Hannah at email@example.com.

Price action: Corn futures settled fractionally to 6 1/2 cents lower through the September 2013 contract, which was mid-range. Far-deferred contracts closed 2 to 3 cents higher and on or near session highs.
Fundamental analysis: Corn futures faced more profit-taking today despite bullish demand news. USDA reported Mexico bought 1.516 million metric tons of corn -- 982,980 metric tons (MT) for 2012-13 and 533,400 MT for 2013-14. That suggests at least Mexico is concerned about still-higher corn prices. Weekly export sales came in above low expectations, but they weren't strong enough at 178,400 MT for 2011-12 and 23,000 MT for 2012-13 to be considered price-supportive.
Support from the Mexican corn purchase was more than offset by negative outside markets as the U.S. dollar was stronger and the commodity sector and stock market faced heavy pressure. Forecasts also call for decent rain chances the next several days. While any rains would be too late to have much positive impact on corn, it's hard to attract buying when the forecast is wet.
Technical analysis: December corn futures posted an inside day of trade on the daily chart. Key near-term resistance is at the contract high of $8.20 1/2, while support lies at the July 24 spike low at $7.45 1/2.
Hedgers: 100% sold on 2011-crop in the cash market. 40% of expected 2012-crop production is covered in Dec. $6.50 put options for 31 1/2 cents. 35% cash forward sold on expected 2012-crop production -- 25% for harvest delivery; 10% for March 2013 delivery.
Cash-only marketers: 100% sold on 2011-crop. 35% forward priced on expected 2012-crop production -- 10% for harvest delivery; 10% for March 2013 delivery; and 15% for May 2013 delivery.
Price action: August through March soybean futures closed 8 1/2 to 29 1/4 cents lower, with far-deferred futures ending narrowly mixed. Meal and soyoil also ended lower.
Fundamental analysis: Focus was on negative outside markets and forecasts for beneficial rains across the Corn Belt the next five days, although rains are expected to favor northern locations. Rains at this time of year are critical for the pod-filling stage.
Traders were also disappointed by this morning's weekly export sales data, as soybean sales came in below expectations at 194,000 MT for 2011-12 and 52,400 MT for 2012-13. But China and unknown destinations were noted buyers. Gulf basis softened by a nickel for immediate shipment, signaling demand has softened.
Technical analysis: November beans posted an inside day of trade on the daily chart and ended mid-range. Near-term boundaries are support at last week's low of $15.36 and resistance at the contract high of $16.91 1/2.
Hedgers: 100% sold on old-crop in the cash market. 25% of expected 2012-crop production is covered in Nov. $14.00 put options for 42 3/8 cents. 50% of expected 2012-crop production is sold via cash forward contract for harvest delivery.
Cash-only marketers: 100% sold on old-crop. 50% sold on expected 2012-crop production for harvest delivery.
Price action: Wheat futures closed 14 to 18 cents lower in Chicago, 11 to 15 cents lower in Kansas City and mostly 2 to 11 cents lower in Minneapolis. Most contracts at all three exchanges ended in the lower part of today's range.
Fundamental analysis: Heavy spillover from outside markets triggered selling pressure in wheat futures today. With the corn market under pressure, wheat traders had no strong reason to buy. Instead, they took more profits out of the market as they capitalize on the strong rally.
Weekly export sales of 516,200 metric tons (MT) for 2011-12 and 4,500 MT for 2012-13 were within expectations.
Technical analysis: Bulls must defend last week's low at $8.52 3/4 in September Chicago wheat futures. Violation of that support would open the door to potentially strong chart-based selling. Next strong chart support would be at the bottom of the July 5 gap at $8.00 3/4.
Hedgers: 75% cash sold on 2012-crop for harvest delivery. 100% sold on 2011-crop in the cash market.
Cash-only marketers: 75% of 2012-crop production is sold for harvest delivery. 100% sold on 2011-crop.
Price action: Cotton futures ended 16 to 61 points higher, which was in the upper end of today's narrow trading range.
Fundamental analysis: Weekly export sales of a combined 208,800 running bales for 2011-12 and 2012-13 were a solid figure, but not enough to spark active buying interest. That was countered by negative outside markets as the U.S. dollar was firmer and the commodity sector was under heavy pressure. Traders remain content to bide their time ahead of USDA's crop estimate on Aug. 10.
Technical analysis: December cotton futures continue to chop sideways. In fact, the trading range is narrowing. Until the contract breaks out of the established trading range, there won't be strong conviction to buy or sell.
Hedgers: 100% sold on old-crop in the cash market. 50% priced on expected new-crop production via cash forward contract for harvest delivery.
Cash-only marketers:s100% sold on old-crop. 50% priced on expected new-crop production via forward contract for harvest delivery.


The Wingfield Heavy-Duty 3 point Harrow utilizes a fully-encompassing, box tube frame to offer total control over the harrow. With the frame, you can back into corners, shake out loose material, control the number/pressure of the tines on the ground, and easily transport the harrow. This model is designed to expand along with your operation. First, you start with a 8', 10, or 12' 3 point center frame. Then, you can add a pair of 4' 9", 5' 7" or 6' 5" hydraulic folding wings - which allows you cover twice the ground while still being able to get through gates. Finally, you can add a tongue, tires, and lift cylinder to turn the harrow into a pull-type cart.
This is our most popular model to drag a pasture. The Wingfield heavy-duty three point chain harrow is an ideal unit to break up manure, thatch, aerate, and re-seed a pasture. The harrow size is big enough to cover a good bit of ground, while still being able to get through gates and move around trees. More importantly, you can more than double its size by adding on the optional hydraulic folding wings, or turn it into a pull-type unit with the optional harrow cart kit.
The chain harrow will contour to the ground, making sure that the entire pasture is worked up. The harrow does not pull grass out of the ground, but it will pull up thatch and aerate the soil. This allows moisture to enter the ground, rather than being soaked up by the thatch on the surface.
You can access your untapped free fertilizer by harrowing. By breaking up the manure, you spread it out and work it into the ground by breaking it into smaller pieces. These small pieces are more readily absorbed into the existing grass stand - providing a quick boost over a larger area than your standard, unworked cow pie. This faster recovery allows your cattle to come back to grazing that area much faster.
The chain harrow also does an excellent job incorporating seed into an existing stand. First, drag the ground to pull up the thatch and expose to the soil. Then, you broadcast your seed. Finally, you make another pass or two with the harrow to work the seed down in contact with the soil.
You won't find a better chain harrow for sale on the market today because of features like these:
- A high-carbon, DRAWN, spring-steel harrow tine that can outlast the competition by up to three times!
- Harrow tines are computer bent to ensure even wear and consistent performance
- Rings in lieu of hooks to prevent unhooking, binding, and premature wear
- Fully encompassing box tube framework is constructed of 3" beams and is and built to handle rough conditions
- The 3pt Lift is setup as either a Cat #2 or #3 and is quick-hitch enabled
- Harrow can be pulled in the aggressive mode (tines standing up), less aggressive mode (tines laying flat), upside down (tines pointing in the air), or a combination between the front and rear section - rough up in aggressive mode with the front section, and smooth out with the rear section either in the less aggressive mode or upside down
- Front skids act as both stands and protect the pull pipe from objects during use
- Harrow mat comes in a single piece mat to eliminate unhooking and providing consistent ground contact
- Harrow mat is our fullest length harrow (7 1/2') which allows the unit to work the ground in a single pass
- Unit is able to expand with your needs. You can start with the center frame (8', 10', or 12'). Then, you can add a pair hydraulically folding wings at a later date (4' 9", 5' 7", or 6' 5"). Finally, you can add a tongue, tires, and lift cylinder to turn the unit into a pull-type cart.
The Wingfield Heavy-Duty 3 point Chain Harrow is an ideal tool behind a mid-sized/larger tractor. The 3 point framework gives the operator full control in using and transporting the harrow. The Wingfield American Harrow can do much more than dragging a pasture. With the largest harrow selection available, you are sure to find the right size chain harrow for your operation.
Remember: You control the harrow on a frame, a drag harrow controls you.
Wingfield offers FREE SHIPPING ON ALL HARROWS. (Alaska, Hawaii, and International are excluded. Please call 800.637.6712 or 217.643.7847 for shipping rate quotes).

3 on the Road: Tall Tomatoes
PEARL, MS (Mississippi News Now) - Whether you have a patio or a plantation, backyard gardening is one of the summer's favorite hobbies here in the South. We are poking poking around in the Smith's backyard in Pearl where Carla And Carey had been having so-so success with their tomatoes until this year.
What Carla is achieving is no tall tale even though it is getting taller every day.
Carla is standing between her squash and her tomatoes in her backyard garden. She's there for perspective to show how tall her tomatoes are this year; more than twice her height.
The white PVC pipe is 10 feet tall and the tip of the vines are already topping it. And not only does she have the vines, they are loaded with tomatoes, big boys, better boys, and TOM-e-toes. It's the TOM-e-toes that are the tallest.
She and husband Carey have been amending and fertilizing the soil for a few years with limited success. But THIS year Carla tried something new, which is actually something old.
"So this time I used something I heard about a long time ago, Epson Salt," said Carla. "I put some Epson Salt by the plant and he watered them. And I did that twice. And that's the only thing I've done."
Carey does the watering according to his daddy's formula.
"Daddy says two dippers of water every day," said Carey.
For those of you who have never seen a water dipper or tasted the water from one and felt the low voltage tingle to your tongue from a zinc dipper, it's about a cupful. So two cups of water a day per plant. And Epson Salt.
Sounds weird. But you can't argue with results.
"I eat all the tomatoes I want every day. Then at night when I'm sitting down, I take a tomato and I cut it up, put it in a bowl, put salt and pepper in there, and defy anybody to come in at that time," said Carey.
So if you'd like to have enough tomatoes so YOU can have quality time alone with them, then it takes pretty much just three ingredients, other than the tomato plants.
Carey starts, "Good dirt." Carla injects, "I would do the Epson Salt again." Carey finishes, "Plenty of water and Epson Salts."
Jack had his beanstalk but Carla has her tomato vines, both growing to fairytale proportions. No pot of gold associated with the Carla and Carey's vines, but plenty of bags of tomatoes.

Coconut oil prices continue to firm up both in Kerala and Tamil Nadu this week with the onset of monsoon.
In Kerala, the prices were ruling at Rs 64 per kg (Rs 63) and in Tamil Nadu, the prices touched Rs 61 per kg against Rs 60 quoted in the previous week.
Copra prices also shot up Rs 200 per quintal to Rs 4,600 per quintal in Kerala and Rs 4,450 in Tamil Nadu.
Prakash B. Rao, Vice-President, Cochin Oil Merchants Association (COMA), pointed out that despite the firming up of prices, the local sales have come down in Kerala due to rains.
Prices of other edible oils have also gone up with palm oil touching Rs 54 per kg and palm kernel oil at Rs 56 per kg.
There are very little enquiries from upcountry buyers, which is a major concern for the industry.
He pointed out that the prices are likely to sustain if the government agencies start copra procurement in Tamil Nadu at the earliest, as the season has already started in Tamil Nadu.
If there is no proper support from the government agencies, he said the market may witness a reverse trend.
Thalath Mahamood, former President, COMA, said that the onset of monsoon has affected copra arrivals from the terminal markets and this has led to a price rise.
However, the market has been buoyed with the decision of some leading corporates to procure copra by paying an additional amount of Rs 100 per quintal.
Bharat N. Khona, former Board Member, COMA, said that though there is a sudden spurt in the market, there is no upcountry demand at higher levels. There is a slight improvement in the market due to increase in edible oil prices.
The market, according to him, is witnessing a speculative mood with the prices of loose oil now ruling at Rs 940 for 15 kg against Rs 860 quoted last week.


I have an 8 panel 235 watt each system and am adding another set of 8 each 300 watt panel’s to the system which will more than double the capacity of the system and available power output throughout the daylight hours. This is a fixed position set and will produce a little different amounts of energy at different times of the year. The system has a monitor that will log out put of the panel’s throughout the year and will be able to store production change records for yearly production. Note winter output will be lowest because of deflection but more because of the short days for production…I have all the panel’s set and secured but not covered with the hardware cloth yet..Will have in production in the next couple of weeks and will be post pictures later this week or next. This is a system that I have built for a customer of mine and have been upgrading for them as they go along. They will and are planning on adding another 8 to 12 panels within the next year also..they will be on a ground mount system not up in the air so high as these are.
This is an 8 panel 235 watt each panel off grid system, set up for a 48 volt battery system. The maximum voltage for the panel’s is 150 volt controller voltage. The system also has a propane back up 8 KW generator and 2 each 3,000 watt inverters for power distribution. this system is covered with 1/2 inch hardware cloth to protect from hail damage or other damage too.The system is mounted on top of a van box for easy relocation and security set up.
We are going to add several more panels to the system at a later date. If interested in a system similar to this or any other system please contact me. Thank You, Calvin Allen
It’s getting that time of year and spring fever is on it’s way. Checked out our cold frames and we have some good looking spinach and kale. Also have some lettuce and other items up out of the ground. Will have to start working the ground but will not start tilling for now and am going to try to go without tilling this year, just break the ground with a hoe or fork.The extreme cold is really had a effect on the growth. We have eaten some spinach though and could have some kale and lettuce and other items. I am going to start my first tomatoes this Thursday or Friday and will plant a few other seeds too. Looking forward to a great year and hope to have a lot of stuff to sell at the local farmers market.
Worked in the garden most of the day on March 15th, was warm about 60 degrees. I tilled a place for my potatoes and will plant on the 17th. We just plant a few potatoes each year, and I am planting Yukon Gold. This is one of my favorite varieties. This will also be about all of the tilling I do this year, I am trying to do a no till year for most of the garden and see if I like the results. I planted so red sweet onion bulbs and some white sweet onion plants for fall harvest also, and will plant more in a couple of weeks. My Rhubarb is starting to grow and looking very good too. I have added about 3 inches of rabbit manure mixture to one of my asparagus beds also. Cleaned up and repaired some of the raised beds and will quit for the day. Next weekend will start more projects in the garden. Planted two rows of potatoes, Yukon Gold and Idaho baking potatoes, I have always been told that the 17th is the best day to plant. I did 2 rows yesterday, and also planted last year on the same day and had a great small crop last year and hope to do so this year too.
Will try to post a few pictures over the next few weeks. I will have 2 off grid or supplement energy systems up and going this week and next week. Will try to post some pics by weeks end. Have a great week and 2014 too.
I have bought and am installing some solar panels with a charge controller. I also am doing an install of some Nichole iron batteries with a charge controller and a 48 volt pure sine inverter 110/220. My system is a 12 volt system with 4 solar panels 305 watt each. I have a 12 volt inverter so I will keep mine at 12 volts for now and plan to upgrade to 24 volt soon. I also have all parts available for sale, with shipping available too. I will get pics of the installs as I get them completed this Spring. I have just finished a back up system that can also be used as an off grid system, if the grid stays down for a extended period of time. This system is only using a propane generator with heavy duty lead acid batteries, and a pure sign inverter with a manual transfer switch.
The system can start small to be added on to as time and assets become available. A good start point is a few solar panels with a couple of 12 volt batteries and a 12 or 24 volt inverter. 12 volt inverters are usually less expensive and more available at this time. That doesn’t mean that they are better, just a good start point. If you start with 4 each 12 volt solar panels and hook them in parallel to use as a 12 volt system and later decide to make it a 24 or even a 48 volt system. The change can be made easily without new solar panel expenses, by rewiring the system to match the required voltage. You will need to add at least 2 more 12 volt batteries to make it a 48 volt system. Deep cycle batteries or even golf cart or heavy equipment batteries are a good start point for batteries. Nichol/Iron batteries are top of the line, but very costly. To build a 12 volt system with 2 each 400 watt solar panels and a 12volt to 110 volt inverter system and 2 each 12 volt batteries. could be built for about $3,200 dollars and be wired into 2 to 4 inside outlets that are only on the off grid circuit. Using only off grid circuits will keep down switching and over load protection equipment cost. This will also reduce liability and equipment damage accidentally.
Probably the best system you could build and with the best return to cost would be a 48 volt system. The ability to enlarge or add on to the system as your needs increase is the easiest with the 48 volt system and also the cheapest to add on after the original installation. The equipment cost will be greater but the advantages and wiring cost will be less. There isn’t much in the used market with 48 volt stuff, so most will have to be new product. If interested in a design or products to build the system please contact on the contact page or call 573-743-6357. I design, build and install systems of all sizes and can provide product and support for your own install. Thank You Calvin Allen
As soon as possible in the spring I start working on my garden preparations. Usually, I start by raking up and pulling the residue from last year’s plant and weed remains. After I clear out all I can—I burn the rest to avoid weeds and vines clogging up the tiller tines. I almost always do two burns to get the wetter residue, which won’t dry until it gets air exposure. After burning, the real work begins! Once the burn process is over I start the cultivating process.
The areas I’m planting root crops in I usually turn over with a good cultivating fork. This is not an easy job, but it will greatly help the root crop production. A good plow will also work well, but in a confined area like mine, I can’t use a plow. Once the dirt is turned over, I run my small cultivator through it to mix up the soil blend, then rake it down and begin planting.
In the larger plots, I use a rear-tine tiller that I bought over 10 years ago and it is still working fine. Any kind of tiller you want to use will work. The rear-tine is best to work in the dirt and rocks, but it is much heavier to maneuver especial at the ends of the rows.
This is a small propane tank that I have used for several years to do most of my controlled burning in the garden area. Propane leaves no burn residue to harm the plants or environment, and is easy to buy and store. The small bottle is a little harder to acquire but can be found in some propane shops. The cost for the small size is much higher than the 20 pound cylinder that we use for our BBQ Grill. The flame torch can be bought at most farm and home supply centers. The cost of the torch is somewhere around $30.00.
The big 20 pound or bigger cylinders are cheaper to buy and to fill. When using these tanks a good 2 wheel dolly makes the job much easier. When using the dolly to transport the tank, be sure to use a tie strap to keep the tank from falling out or off the dolly. I use the big tank of propane to burn around the lake and other burn projects throughout the year. It can also be used to start your brush piles and other burn projects. Be sure to secure the tank when in use, so as to not allow it to fall into the burning materials.
We have had strawberries and broccoli transplanted since late fall but have added lots of cuttings for spring transplanting. We have also planted spinach for spring greens in this space. Have added another section as well and planted lettuce, spinach, beets, and peas to add to our green’s for salads. We also cook a lot of the greens. We are going to continue to add and experiment with lots of other greens and some other plants for raised beds and cold frames. I am going to add light and heat to the tall cold frame. We are going to market the frames in several different sizes and styles. The one I have pictured below is about $900.00 set up and ready to plant or I will also plant. This is set up on a level accessible area, and does not include mileage charges. If this is something that interest you please contact me, I may be able to help you design something that will work for you and provide some of the materials and design for DIY projects. Thank You for viewing my site and hope you enjoyed what you read and viewed.
The energy show at Onondaga went very well, we had about 100 visits and lots of questions. Lots of literature was picked up and lots of real interest. hope to visit some of the sites that were in question by visitors and hope to produce some work and sales. The biggest interest was in hydro or water wheel power. One of the best investments with a quick return on your investment available out there . Thanks to all that visited my site and that supported the show. Sincerely Calvin Allen
The last 2 weeks have made a big change in the garden area. The garden is mostly tilled and has been providing some harvest. The spinach is doing very well and Sunday I was able to give some to a lady in our church that really loves it. I will post some pics of the progress soon. The Asparagus is also doing well, We had our first bunch Saturday the 9th of April and had a very large bunch today. We brush it with olive oil and then sprinkle garlic salt on it and wrap it in aluminum foil and grill it for about 15 minutes. I have planted 2 rows of corn and hope it will not be lost to frost.
We usually don’t have late frost here because we are at a good elevation for this area. The elevation is also a plus for the wind turbine. I am going to set one in top of a tree that I have topped and see how it works. It will be about 30 feet up. I also have a tower to put one on but want to try the tree first. I am planning on the tree living so I won’t have to remove or replace the structure any time soon. I will also upload some pics of the install. The fruit trees are just about done blooming and the cherry trees bloomed very heavy too. We have seen a lot of honey bees in the trees this year and that is a good sign, since we haven’t seen too many for several years.. Maybe I can find the honey tree and rob some of the honey this fall. I spent some time in the woods Friday and again Sunday and found about 30 black morels. We had them for lunch today and for me this is a real treat.. Hope to find more soon and will continue to look and post if I find any more.

Drought tolerant plants dying after planting?
We recently relandscaped with all drought tolerant plants. They are on a drip line every other day for 10 minutes. We were told to add extra water everyday. Somedays we did, somedays we didn't. Now 4 weeks from planting, most look very good except the ceanothus and fremontodendron. The weather has been cool, overcast mornings, and low 70's days. Are they getting too much water or not enough? How long until they are established and don't need extra water? Is it transplant shock?

After spending a week away from the girls to visit family, I wasn’t sure what I would come to.
As the girls ambled out of the coop, I was amazed at what I saw.
“My how you’ve grown,” I cooed as I looked them over.
Loretta was visibly larger, and Nellie had the start of droopy butt feathers.
And Gigi has started making a sound that sounds like a growl-bawk. As long as it doesn’t develop into a cock-a-doodle-doo, it’s all cool with me.
The biggest development of all, is that the chickens now eat a different feed. For the first 10 weeks, they were on chick starter crumble. Now they have transitioned to grower ration, which has a slightly lower amount of protein than the starter feed. They will eat this until they are 18 weeks old, when they will begin layer feed.
That’s right! Layer feed (and hopefully eggs) are just around the corner. By my calculations, we should be on the lookout for eggs sometime near the end of July!
In the garden
When I bought my house 10 years ago, I fell in love with the yard. The house was OK, but the yard hummed with possibility. Before I even signed my name on the mortgage, I stood out back imagining chickens and an overflowing garden.
At the time, chickens were not legal in Ferndale, and my gardening skills were non-existent. This clearly was clearly just a dream.
The week my dream came to fruition.
As I let the girls out to free-range in the yard, Matt and I carved out an enormous garden.
While you could say I’m obsessed with chickens, Matt really shines when it comes to growing things. Years ago, when he first saw my yard, I could see the gears turning in his mind.
We started setting up the garden last year bring bringing in truckloads of large rocks to line the border. Then the last few weeks, Matt spent hours weeding. The area is huge, an L-shape that at its length is 40 feet, by 10 feet wide. It’s enormous.
This weekend we spent two days digging, and huffing, and puffing, and digging some more, and sweating … and the end result is a great garden.
We built two trellises, one for three kinds of cucumbers and the other for pole beans. The process was swift: Matt turned the soil, added manure and raked, then I crawled through the dirt on my hands and knees planting everything. After getting caked in mud and achey-breaky knees, I made a trip to the store to pick up real gardening gloves, gardening clogs and a pad to kneel on. Rookie mistake!
In the end we have two gardens, one for herbs and a huge one for vegetables.
Our herb garden has basil, cilantro, rosemary, parsley, chamomile, catnip, oregano, thyme, garlic and chives.
The large garden has watermelon, sunflowers, Brussels sprouts, leek, red onion, corn, carrots, cauliflower, red pepper, jalapenos and four kinds of tomatoes.
Tonight we invited Matt’s mom, Sara, over for dinner. We ate in the yard, with the chickens walking around us, clucking away. I took the seat facing the garden.
Who says dreams don’t come true?

It’s pretty awesome stuff!!! 😉
We have the same dreams! This is my first year with a small garden. I already have 10 zucchini on my plants! Get a dehydrator to dry your herbs. I did that thus year also. If you gravest your herbs periodically and not let them bloom, they will last linger. Enjoy!


Dow AgroSciences launches rebrand identity
Dow AgroSciences introduced a new brand and visual identity this fall, the culmination of a major brand transformation the company has undertaken over the past year, according to Antonio Galindez, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences. As the agricultural sciences business of The Dow Chemical Company, Dow AgroSciences will further leverage the recognition, capabilities, strength and scale of Dow to deliver new solutions and technologies to growers around the world.
“Our close connection to Dow enables us to operate within the framework of a much bigger company that offers scale and strength to our business around the world,” says Antonio Galindez, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences. “The significant investment in new innovations by the company over the past decade has enabled many new agricultural technology collaborations and advances, new product launches and overall faster business growth.”
As part of the rebrand, customers will see changes on marketing materials and products. The new Dow AgroSciences company tagline, “Solutions for the Growing World,” links with Dow’s new advertising campaign, Solutionism.
The adoption of the red DOW diamond logo with the Dow AgroSciences word more clearly associates the enterprise as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company.
Dow AgroSciences’ new brand identity is now live on the company’s websites globally. In addition, customers around the world will begin to see the new Dow AgroSciences brand identity firsthand through crop protection and seed marketing materials and product packaging. The company logo will change at the company’s headquarters this month. Additional Dow AgroSciences sites and offices globally will transition to the new visual identity over the coming quarters. There are no structural changes to Dow AgroSciences, which is headquartered in Indianapolis. The Dow Chemical Company's headquarters is in Midland, Mich.
See a video shot at the Farm Progress show by Rich Keller at the end of August that provided a sneak peak about the rebranding. Click here to view the short video.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — Fair Flowers Fair Plants is coming to the United States on a trial basis in the coming year in cooperation with MPS certification company, according to Arthij van der Veer, MPS international coordinator.
“Working with growers, traders and florists, MPS and FFP are trying to make sustainably grown floriculture products the largest range of products on the market,” Mr. van der Veer told The Produce News at the Tropical Plant Industry Exhibition in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Jan. 24.
The tandem introduction is part of an overall agreement announced earlier this year linking MPS and FFP. FFP has been limited to Europe since it was started seven years ago with backing from growers and industry groups, unions and private nonprofit organizations. It offers certification for environmental and social standards for flowers and plants.
MPS started in 1995 as an environmental sustainability certification group at a Dutch flower auction and now operates in 50 countries. It began operations in this country in 2010 and now has 40 certified horticultural firms, according to Charlotte Smit, the Western United States representative for MPS. MPS offers the following certificates in the United States and Canada for growers and wholesalers:
• MPS ABC: environmental scorecard.
• MPS GAP: Good Agricultural Practices (officially benchmarked with GlobalGAP).
• MPS Socially Qualified: social certification.
• MPS Florimark Trade: Traceability, quality assurance and environmental issues for wholesalers and shippers.
The FFP certification need not come from MPS; it can also be issued by KFC-Silver, Fiore Giusto, Fair Choice and Forest Garden Products, a company news release noted. Two MPS-certified growers, D.S. Cole and Westerlay Orchids, will become the first growers to meet MPS GAP standards, Ms. Smit said.
To introduce the new FFP label here, a major promotion campaign aimed at consumers is planned, Mr. van der Veer said. “Everyone in the chain must be made aware what Fair Flowers Fair Plants stands for,” he added. “In addition, MPS and FFP will make it easier for companies to participate. For example, the label will soon extend to bouquets made from products originating from certified companies and participating growers could display the FFP label on the sleeve.”

It was just in recent days that with a heavy heart I came to the realization that I simply do not have the time or money for the vegetable garden I’ve been dreaming about since November. A year and a half ago I had removed (poorly, might I add) the scrabbly grass in my backyard and had planted a wayward, free-form veggie and herb garden. Things were going great until I was gone at a wedding for a week in late June, when the garden exploded and I never quite got caught back up with my weeding.
While it was rather unruly, it did produce some splendid tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, peas, beans, a plethora of lettuces and greens, squash, gourds, eggplants, strawberries, several mint varieties and one round pumpkin. There were failures in the brussels sprouts, corn, English cucumber, dill and garlic, but everything else handled pretty decently. My dreams for this year’s bounty grew with every page turned in seed catalogs.
But with the change of employment (and awkward financial standings after being unemployed for 5 weeks and then working for meager pay at a temp job for 7) and now spending 75% of my weekends in Portland with my hairier half, the garden simply isn’t plausible. Sadness.
In the meantime I’ll put what focus I can spare on my front yard, which is mostly ornamental flowers and shrubs, such as this allium in half bloom. I couldn’t wait until it was a full, spherical puff ball of purple before snapping this.
Now the dilemma remains: what to do with the backyard that is quickly turning into a lush forest of green grass (I told you I didn’t get rid of it all), weeds, and the few perennial plants when I simply don’t have time to maintain it? Advice, ideas…? HELP!


Kageyo washing station is situated in the fertile highlands skirting Lake Kivu in the west of the country. It was established in 2009, when a cooperative of smallholder farmers received a loan to build a CPU where they could process their coffees. These smallholders grow coffee on small plots amongst the surrounding hills, where altitudes undulate between 1800 and 2000 meters. Prior to building the washing station, Kageyo co-op had produced only produced semi-washed coffee. Their first year of operation was 2010, where they processed 67 tons of coffee cherries, and miraculously, in the same year, Kageyo took 2nd place in the Cup of Excellence (COE) competition in Rwanda. The following year, Kageyo won the 2011 competition, representing an incredible achievement for the co-op of farmers and the washing station. However, despite their success at COE, the 2011 season was a struggle, with lower-than-usual yields making repaying their building loan extremely difficult.
In 2013, Kageyo began working with our origin partners - Rwanda Trading Company - in order to market their coffees to overseas buyers more effectively. RTC also offered to help with Kageyo's yield and production issues, which were holding the co-op back and hindering the group from capitalising on the high quality coffees that they had become known for through the COE. In 2015, agreed to purchase the washing station and eradicate the co-op's debt to third party lenders, whilst crucially also keeping the co-op structure in tact. It is a relationship that goes from strength to strength, and Falcon have secured approximately 50 bags of Kageyo's yearly output.


In 2008 Craige travelled as a NZ Nuffield Farming Scholar. While travelling around the world on his study tour he gained an insight into a wide range of technologies present throughout the world and how they would fit into New Zealand farming systems. One of the greatest things he saw was the potential to reduce costs, environmental pressure and greenhouse gas emissions through more precise management of inputs. This sparked an interest in some specific products that Craige would then introduce into his family's own arable enterprise.
In the same year Jemma completed a year of 'Study Abroad' at Colorado State University as part of her Agricultural Science degree where she undertook papers looking at several aspects of Precision Agriculture. Here she saw the great potential that PA technology offered in increasing the efficiency and sustainability to farming systems across New Zealand.

- 11 February 2022
The Royal Society of Biology has partnered with Defra to deliver a series of plant health workshops that aim to develop a diverse community from across the sector and build UK plant health capability, capacity and resilience.
The first event in the new series will focus on the new GB Plant Biosecurity Strategy, with a keynote from the UK chief plant health officer Professor Nicola Spence CBE FRSB.
The event, which takes place online on 16 March 2022, will also feature an audience Q&A session. Defra is due to publish the new Plant Biosecurity Strategy later this year, following a public consultation in the autumn of 2021, to which the RSB responded.
Future events in the series will include an annual one-day mini-conference, taking place this year on 21 June 2022, with further details to be announced shortly.
The new Defra partnership builds on several previous and ongoing RSB plant health initiatives. These include the Plant Health Professional Register, the Plant Health Undergraduate Studentships programme, and the Plant Health Summit for Future Leaders, hosted by RSB in March 2021.
Commenting on the new partnership, plant science education consultant Dr Celia Knight MBE PHP FRSB, said: “The new workshop series will help participants to find out about career development opportunities and pathways in plant health.”
Consultant plant pathologist Dr Charles Lane PHP FRSB said: “While COVID-19 has restricted networking opportunities, plant health professionals taking part in these workshops will be able to meet new colleagues and develop their professional networks.”
Registration is now open for the GB Plant Biosecurity Strategy workshop. The event is free to attend but advanced registration is essential.
All are welcome, but the event will be particularly relevant to plant health professionals and plant scientists across a broad range of disciplines.

Almond Board of California - March Position Report
The Almond Board of California released its March Position Report, which showed shipments of 266.65 million pounds, up 28.1 percent from the previous month.
Out of the eight months of the 2020/21 crop year, this is the seventh record month and the season's second-largest shipping month.
Logistical problems (which are still present but improving) hampered January and February's capacity but contributed to the 28 percent increase.
Californian exports are up 17.67 percent year-to-date compared to the same period last year.
Commitments are up 46 percent, indicating that the market is poised for a good April.
Net new sales were also very high, up 10% year on year at 191 million pounds, demonstrating that at these rates, strong demand would continue.
The export markets led the way with a 52 percent rise in shipments compared to last March.
For the month, the domestic market was down 10%.


Q.My Chinese Evergreen Was Beautiful When We Got Home. North Window Light. Began To Have Leaves Yellow, Then Dry Edges.
What am I doing wrong? North window light. Water when top is dry. I have pruned off bad leaves.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Unfortunately your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. Usually, this will indicate overwatering. They are very drought tolerant, but will not tolerate wet soils. It is best to use a cactus mix, or use that mixed with a little potting soil. This will allow for proper drainage. Here is an article that will help you care for the plant:


The company announced Thursday that Bayer AG will sell its environmental science business to Cinven, a private equity firm for $2.6 billion.
The business is called Environmental Science Professional and is part Bayer’s agricultural division. It focuses on pest control in non-agricultural settings such as forestry.
Rodrigo Santos is the head of Bayer’s Crop Science division. He stated that the divestment will allow Bayer to concentrate on its core agricultural business as well as the implementation of its growth strategy.

what is the small, invasive, white-flowered weed blooming in April in...
Two white-flowered weeds blooming now are hairy bittercress and garlic mustard. Take a look at these in our weed gallery: http://extension.umd.edu/hgic/weeds/spring-weeds Control tips are included.
Hairy bittercress is smaller. Garlic mustard is a destructive non-native invasive plant--never let it go to seed. The seeds last for years and will continue to sprout.
For more information on Garlic mustard, go to Weeds Gone Wild website and look at the control options in the Plant Profiles section.
If neither of these plants is the one you are encountering, we'd suggest you send us photos.

My hibiscus has been traumatized by the white fliy infestation.I soap washed it and hosed it down.I killed off most of the flies. It has damage from the infestation, black spot mold, leaves are yellow with spotty green. It is pretty big and has suckers on it. I dont know where to prune it and if I should leave some of the suckers on the bush. It has some healthy looking leaves thats why I want to prune it down.Is it too late for my plant? It is a potted tropical hibiscus.


A Canadian Soybean Delegation has recently returned home from a program to Japan. The week-long program visited Osaka and Tokyo from January 18th to 25th and focused on further enhancing Canada’s relationship with Japan.
The delegation met with industry associations, government officials and private corporations to promote Canadian soybeans for food use to potential international buyers, gathered market intelligence from end-users and government officials on soybean market trends in Japan, and gained knowledge of new market opportunities that are available. The delegation included representatives from across the soybean value chain including producers, soybean exporters, and government officials.
The program included two large industry seminars in both Tokyo and Osaka. Over 180 researchers, whole sellers, and soy food manufacturers from the Japanese soy industry attended. This year’s seminars were titled “Canadian Soybeans: A Success Story” which highlighted Canada’s ability and commitment to delivering a high quality product to our customers.
The delegation also visited several soy food manufacturing companies. Here, the delegation toured facilities and gained a better understanding of the dynamic soy food industry in Japan.
Nicole Mackellar is a Market Development Coordinator at Grain Farmers of Ontario and was a part of the delegation. She said initiatives like this outgoing program increase market access for our high-value soybeans.
“The program allows the Canadian delegation to interact first hand with Japanese soyfood manufactures, distributors and researchers,” says Mackellar. “The knowledge obtained is used to better understand the quality characteristics needed in our soybean varieties to meet their needs.”
Japan is Canada’s largest market for food grade soybeans and third largest market in the world. On average over 350,000 metric tonnes are exported each year with a total value of over $225 million. Ontario continues to be the largest exporting port for non-GMO food grade soybeans to Japan. Developing further opportunities in this important market is important for the continued growth of Canada’s soybean industry.


A blog based loosely on my mission to grow coffee plants in the Scottish Borders and make my very own cup of espresso.
But to be frank you'll probably read more about my puppy walking for Guide Dogs for the Blind and all the other things I do because the coffee plants are very (and I mean VERY) slow growers.

March coffee plant update
And here they are!
All the coffee plants survived the winter, but haven't done a huge amount in the growth department. Well that's that update then!
In the meantime I'm off away on retreat to Devon and will be home on the 20th, so no more posts until I get home.


On May 29th Bayer AG said that its US$66bn proposed takeover of Monsanto Co, a US seed maker, was conditionally approved by the US Department of Justice. The approval is dependent on the German company completing the sale of certain businesses and assets to another German chemical company, BASF SE. Bayer aims to complete these divestments in two months, following which it can begin integrating Monsanto's operations with its own business.
Bayer noted that it had obtained almost all of the 30 regulatory approvals needed to close the transaction. It expects to receive the remaining clearances "shortly". The European Commission gave its conditional approval in March, following clearances from more than half of the relevant authorities, including regulators in China and Brazil.
The company initially signed an agreement with BASF in October 2017 to sell parts of its seed and non-selective herbicide businesses in an all-cash deal worth €5.9bn (US$6.9bn). In April 2018 Bayer agreed to sell off further assets and businesses, including its entire vegetable-seeds business, seed treatment products and digital farming platform, for an additional €1.7bn.
Bayer first announced plans to take over Monsanto in September 2017. The former hopes to create the world's largest agricultural company by combining its CropScience division, which accounted for 31% of its €9.1bn revenue in the first quarter of 2018, with Monsanto's crops sciences unit.

harvested frog in Cambodia.
Found in rice paddies and other agricultural settings, its size, which can reach up to 125 millimeters, makes it popular on Cambodian villagers and city-dweller dining tables. It is often hunted using a wooden harpoon gun. This frog sells for about US$2 a kilo in the wet season and the price doubles in the the dry.
Cambodian Rugulose frogs are exported to both Vietnam and Thailand. Despite their popularity the frog is not considered endangered.

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Cysteine Protease Inhibitor from Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)
МетаподациПриказ свих података о документу
The need for replacing traditional pesticides with alternative agents for the management of agricultural pathogens is rising worldwide. In this study, a cysteine proteinase inhibitor (CPI), 11 kDa in size, was purified from green kiwifruit to homogeneity. We examined the growth inhibition of three plant pathogenic Gram-negative bacterial strains by kiwi CPI and attempted to elucidate the potential mechanism of the growth inhibition. CPI influenced the growth of phytopathogenic bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens (76.2 % growth inhibition using 15 mu M CPI), Burkholderia cepacia (75.6 % growth inhibition) and, to a lesser extent, Erwinia carotovora (44.4 % growth inhibition) by inhibiting proteinases that are excreted by these bacteria. Identification and characterization of natural plant defense molecules is the first step toward creation of improved methods for pest control based on naturally occurring molecules.
