An Analysis of the Dynamic Behavior of JavaScript Programs
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The JavaScript programming language is widely used for web programming and, increasingly, for general purpose computing. As such, improving the correctness, security and performance of JavaScript applications has been the driving force for research in type systems, static analysis and compiler techniques for this language. Many of these techniques aim to reign in some of the most dynamic features of the language, yet little seems to be known about how programmers actually utilize the language or these features. In this paper, the authors perform an empirical study of the dynamic behavior of a corpus of widely-used JavaScript programs, and analyze how and why the dynamic features are used.

Brady Dutchak didn't know it was gone until he saw it clear the fence. The soon-to-be senior at Dickinson High hit his first-ever home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game 8-8. "That my first home run ever, in any league," Dutchak said.
The North Dakota Governor's Walleye Cup is one of the most lucrative fishing tournaments in the state. In turn, the tournament attracts a number of the best anglers from around the area starting Friday and ending Saturday with Sunday serving as a makeup day at Lake Sakakawea. "When you have a hefty payout, you are going to get your top anglers in state to come out and compete for first place," Heart River boys basketball coach Greg Pruitt said. "It should be a fun tournament and a lot of competitors.
Dickinson Trinity's Brandon Sickler and Killdeer's Tate Harris know each other well. The two live 35 miles away, play basketball in the same district and are standouts on the football field. Though Sickler plays football in Class 2A and Harris plays in Class A, the two will take the football field one last time as teammates for the North Dakota 11-man West team in the 2012 Shrine Bowl that begins at 3 p.m. MDT today at Fargo Shanley High School. "It's a great feeling to be chosen by the coaches to come and represent the west side of the state," Sickler said.
Prairie dogs are a keystone species in nature, but when out on the loose, they can create many problems for farmers and ranchers. Theodore Roosevelt National Park has many prairie dog towns, and in 2011, the colonies combined for 11,000 acres. "We map the acreage of the prairie dog towns, and it varies from year to year depending on availability of vegetation," said Eileen Andes, TRNP chief of interpretation. "The last couple years there's been a lot of vegetation because it was so wet.
Confidence. Check. Refreshed. Check. Ready to start playing again. Oh yeah. The Dickinson Roughriders American Legion baseball team had a week off to rest in preparation to play the second half of their season starting by traveling to the Minot Vistas at 3 p.m. today at Hoeven Field. "We've got all of our arms back," Dickinson assistant coach Andy Tomanek said. "I know we were hurting for arms there for a while. It seems like everyone was getting sore.
Ryan Peters is still learning, but winning during that process doesn't hurt. Peters, a 16-year-old racer from Mandan, won the Open A Division and 250cc A Division during the first day of the North Dakota Motocross Association races at the Southwest Motocross Track on Saturday. "It was cool," Peters said. "I had to work hard in one of the motos. I didn't get the greatest start, but other than that, it was a good day." The Mandan racer won both motos in the 250cc A to win the overall.
Randy Sandvick said, "You never forget how to race." Sandvick took a three-year hiatus from racing, but he finally found himself in the feature race in the IMCA Modifieds on Friday at the Southwest Speedway. "I've been here three nights now," Sandvick said. "My car is '09 and it sat on my hoist for two years and two months." The Killdeer resident, who focused the last three years on his oil business, knew he had the car to win. However, before the first lap was over there were multiple cautions. "This thing is bad fast. These guys don't have a prayer," he said with a laugh.
Ryan Weber is just having fun. The 18-year-old from Dickinson took a little down time for the Fourth of July before the two-day North Dakota Motocross Association races at the Southwest Motocross Association Track which start at 10 a.m. Saturday. "I just want to go out there and have fun at my hometown track," Weber said. "I want to ride well for my family and friends that will be there." Weber sits in first in the NDMA's Open B Division with 224 points. He leads Garret Roen of Douglas by 11 points.
There was no shortage of offensive power in the opening game of an American Legion baseball doubleheader between the Dickinson Roughriders and Grand Forks Royals on Wednesday evening. The two teams combined for 28 runs on 24 hits. On the scoreboard and in the win column, the Royals came out ahead with 15-13 and 4-1 wins on Wednesday at the Southside Municipal Ballpark. "We had chances in both games to get it done," Dickinson head coach Cory Hansen said. "We want to be within striking distance. It's really disappointing.
With the number of licenses for the hunting taking a dip down, it's no surprise that the North Dakota fall turkey season is down 10 percent from last year. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is releasing 4,145 turkey licenses this fall. "This isn't a surprise," said NDGF Department upland game supervisor Stan Kohn. "I think the sportsman saw it last and maybe even the year before that is that at their favorite hunting spots they just weren't seeing the same numbers.

The cloud is often touted as the answer to all our problems. It offers countless possibilities, from increased agility and reduced costs for enterprises, to a revenue lifeline for service providers as they take their first steps toward becoming a cloud broker. The cloud broker model can give service providers the chance to avoid commoditization by repackaging their own offerings together with cloud services and selling these to customers.
But cloud brokers beware. There's a risk of being a jack of all trades and master of none. It's crucial to ensure that a cloud offering is designed to meet the needs of a specific market. For example, enterprises and small/medium sized businesses (SMBs) will hardly subscribe to all cloud services from a single provider. So which approach is best for which target market?
Serving the needs of SMBs
For telcos with access to a large number of customers in the SMB space, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) broker is the best way to go. This allows telcos to leverage their broad customer access and sell SaaS applications to SMBs in addition to their carrier portfolio. SMBs will not only expect consolidated provisioning and billing but also an aggregation of services and federation of data across multiple SaaS applications provided by the broker.
CloudItalia, a company combining telecommunication and cloud computing services specifically dedicated to small and medium enterprises in Italy, as an example, is offering a core set of services that are vertically focused and aimed specifically at the SMB customer segment. This approach is all about providing pre-packaged services that, as much as possible, are a `no brainer' for SMBs to work with. MashApp tools are critical here. They provide the capability to build services by creating mash-ups of the business applications SMBs are most likely to require such as Saleforce.com. Together with orchestration tools this allows users to build the exact services they require. Because the cloud service provision component is based on the company's existing telecom business with its own network, this gives CloudItalia's customers particular benefits.
Forrester's Forrsights survey data showed that at the end 2012, on average nine different SaaS applications were used at the same time in a single business. This will increase to 13 by the end of 2013. This requires a higher automation of billing and integration among all SaaS applications used, including a flexible subscription approach for individual employees. All of these challenges are potential value propositions for future SaaS brokers.
The enterprise approach
Enterprises seriously moving to cloud infrastructure require a mixture of multiple cloud infrastructure services, very likely from multiple providers. Systems integrators (SIs) and dedicated cloud infrastructure providers will get the most out of becoming Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) brokers. Providing dynamic sourcing across public, virtual private and private clouds, this broker model leverages temporary spare capacity on-premise and combines it with spot price offerings of virtual private or public cloud providers. Cloud infrastructure offerings vary by reliability, price, local presence of data centers, legal compliance, performance and many other characteristics. SIs can retain or establish customer relationship with these enterprise buyers by offering the full portfolio of their own cloud services and reselling public cloud IaaS from others. Infrastructure broker services add a unique value and make the multi-provider portfolio consumable.
According to Forrester's Forrsights Hardware Survey, nine percent of all enterprises today use a hybrid cloud infrastructure, mixing a private cloud with an external cloud provider. This number is expected to increase to 26 percent by 2015, and Forrsights data indicates that half of that group will be using sophisticated cloud management such as policy-driven provisioning. This group will drive the adoption of infrastructure broker services in the future.
A unified future
It is possible that a single company might deliver multiple cloud broker models, as a 'unified cloud broker.' A sophisticated business process-driven provisioning framework, which supports the dynamic sourcing of both infrastructure and SaaS applications, would obviously provide a huge synergy for providers looking forward to a unified cloud broker. Technology vendors and their ecosystem of partners are getting ready to deliver this spectrum. However, it takes a cloud provider at least a year to merge discrete broker services into a unified cloud broker business model and technology stack. This is one reason that we are yet to see any unified cloud broker offerings on the market. But watch this space, it won't be long. At that time, the cloud's countless possibilities will be much more of a reality.

Ruthanna..could you share a recipe?
I was lurking on the What's for dinner section and caught the picture of your apple cake with caramel frosting. Would you please share your recipe? Thanks in Advance...Jackie
Jackie, I didn't add the walnuts to the cake in the photo but put some on top of the icing.
4 cup peeled and chopped apples
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon (or 3/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg)
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
Mix together apples, raisins, sugar and cinnamon (and nutmeg, if used) in a large bowl and stir thoroughly. Let this mixture sit for one hour, stirring occasionally. Juice will begin to form - do not drain off. Meanwhile, mix together flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Grease and flour a 9" X 13" pan.
After the apples have marinated for an hour, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the eggs, oil and vanilla and add to the apple mixture. Stir well, and then add the flour mixture. Mix well with a spoon and then add the nuts. Mix and pour into prepared pan.
Bake for about 45 minutes. Cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes: I like to substitute chopped dates for the raisins. Walnuts are the traditional nuts for this cake but I have used pecans or more often, omitted the nuts altogether.
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk (not the sweetened condensed milk)
Pinch of salt
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the brown sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low for two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the milk and salt. Return to the stove and bring to a full boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm. Gradually beat in the confectioners sugar and vanilla, beating until icing is thick enough to spread.
NOTE: I don't use a mixer for this, just a big spoon.
Yield: enough for a 13 X 9 inch cake or a 2-layer cake. Recipe should be doubled for a 3-layer 8-inch cake.
Ruthanna, I made your cake today.
Was a big hit. Moist and delicious. Really showcases the apples.
The only changes I made was to omit the raisins and to add toasted walnuts to the batter as well as decoration.
The icing is sooooooo goooooood!!!! Thank you.
DH and I made this yesterday (it was one of those days...working together in the kitchen, getting through a huge bag of apples from someone's tree). Only thing I had difficulty with is the icing since I have NO experience with it. It turned out, initially, as thick as a ball of play-dough and we plopped it in the mixer with some added milk (didn't use condensed, just regular) to thin it out. Thanks AnnT for taking our phone call, LOL.
I've been looking for recipes to use up large amounts of apples and this one fits the bill! Thanks Ruthanna.
Julier, I like a firm, tart apple but I don't think the variety would make much difference.
Jessica, I'm sorry you had problems with the icing but Ann's advice for saving it was spot on.
Westsider, I have never frozen it but given the ingredients, I don't see any reason why not, as long as it's tightly wrapped.
Most of those old-timey fudgey boiled icings use evaporated milk or light cream. I think using regular milk would alter the texture. P.S. Evaporated milk is on sale at just about all the grocery stores in our area this week (and probably next) as a Thanksgiving loss leader.
I was intending to post a pic on the WFD thread after I figure out WFD.....but
I made Ruthanna's cake on Sunday and it was wonderful! I froze half (iced) and took the other half out of the freezer today. It freezes perfectly! I actually like it better than the day one version. It was so moist and the icing had a softer texture!
Great recipe thanks Ruthanna!
woo hoo, I made it. It was the most involved foodstuff I have ever attempted. It's cooling now on a rack-still in the pan, hope that's ok?
I just never had enough time, nor the inclination when I finally had the time, to make or bake anything this involved. But I thought my family would really enjoy it for Tgiving. we are not a dessert family but this apple cake sounded so good and looked so good. And dd will be home for the holiday and hopefully we will have a couple of foreign student/relatives of dil here for the celebration so this time I will have an 'audience' for good stuff to eat.
I know you guys are wonderful cooks and I so appreciate your sharing your recipes and comments. Thanks, Ruthanna, again.
P.s. now have 3 cans of evap milk and I will frost half of it at another time. Frosting/icing could be a turnoff for some of my goofy relatives.
Just wanted to let you know that this recipe caught my eye as well. I made it yesterday. I rarely bake cakes of any type (maybe once every two or three years, honestly), so was very happy this one turned out quite well. The cake is wonderful - moist and very flavorful. I used pecans.
The only thing I would do differently next time is that I probably would not frost it at all! I know, the frosting actually is wonderful, but it ends up sweeter than I usually care for. I think the cake alone would be every bit as good.
Thanks for the keeper recipe!
I made Ruthanna's cake last week and it was a big hit. I used golden raisins & walnuts. No problems with the icing. I used skim milk instead of evaporated milk because I didn't want to open a tall can for just 1/4 cup. The cake is actually better on the second day so, if you can hold off eating it...
Thanks for posting a great recipe, Ruthanna. This one is going into the keeper file, for sure.

Still Blooming!
We have had three freezes so far, but most of my roses have kept on going like the Energizer bunny! Hope there aren't too many images here;
The first one is one I was about to shovel prune, since I have had it for three years and it hardly ever bloomed. It wasn't in a very sunny place. So, this late summer, I put it in a pot and here is what it is doing now! Good thing I didn't SP it! But, it better start blooming more!
Here is STILE 800 when it first opened:
And, here it is today more than a week later, fully opened.
Here is the hybrid tea CALIFORNIA DREAMIN':
And, here is the hybrid tea MILVA:
Here is the shrub rose ROBERT CLEMENTS:
This is ESTELLE DE MEILLAND. It is a florist hybrid tea and I have been waiting for days for it to open more, but it has been very slow, like all florist roses. I wanted to show the light yellow-tan reverse, but it doesn't show up much here.
Here is the striped HT CABANA. It really likes the cool weather - which it doesn't experience a lot here!
Here is a wonderful single floribunda called FIELD OF DREAMS:
And, here's another wonderful floribunda and it has a great scent JULIO IGLESIAS:
Here's POPE JOHN PAUL II, in all it's splendor:
LOVESTRUCK is one of my favorite floribundas:
And, finally, ROUTE 66 just keeps on truckin'!
Wow! Beautiful roses! ESTELLE is really hard to photograph accurately, like most of the rust colored ones. But your bloom is beautiful even if we can't see the real color. And don't you just love that FIELD OF DREAMS? I especially love it when it gets a few steaks or stripes on it. And that's a great shot of PJPII with that beautiful sky in the background!
Beautiful roses again, snowheather! Your roses all look so picture perfect!
Stile 800 seems to turn into a wonderful rose. I have never heard of it. You must be very happy that you didn't discard it.
Pope John Paul II is my favorite white rose and I grow it in my garden, too. I love your photo of it with the sky as a back ground.
Thanks for sharing your last beauties of this year!
Wonderful rose pictures. We had our first really hard freeze a few weeks ago, so it's nice to see that you have some still going. I can't really pick out a picture I like the best as they are all so gorgeous. I've been looking at Robert Clements for years now, just didn't know how he would perform in our heat. Milva catches my eye as I'm on the search for the perfect orange blend cut flower. California Dreamin looks to be first rate too. The beauty is that there aren't any thrips around now to dispoil the blooms. Thanks for posting these beauties....Maryl
Maryl, I don't think your climate is hotter than here in North Texas, and ROBERT CLEMENTS seems to like it here. The only drawback is how long it takes to grow the tiny Heirloom bands. My MILVA is on fortuniana rootstock and blooms all the time. It needs regular spraying, though. CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' is a beauty and blooms a lot. It does not have exhibition centers all the time, but who cares? Yes, all of mine are doing fine with no bugs around. I took more pictures this morning, because we are getting a hard freeze and that should be that until spring! Now post some of yours to keep us dreaming of roses!
We had to shovel 2 times today and once last night. The kids had a day off of school, it was an official snow day. My roses are so far under the snow. Seeing your pictures makes me want to move. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
I think 3 of these might end up in my garden come spring.
Snowheather: I almost feel like I know you as my sister lives in the Dallas area and I used to come down and visit her all the time. She's not a gardener, but she took me around to various nurseries and gardens when I came down anyway. Yes, we are as hot as DFW, but just not for as long(although it seems long enough to me), about 3 weeks difference in when your spring starts and ours does. I don't want to butt into your beautiful thread with my roses, so here's one of my sister's "Exotic" cat (Exotic is a cross between a Persian and a short hair). His name is Pooh or Poohy:
That kitten is adorable! I used to have a Scottish Fold and they are half British Short Hair, and I can see the resemblance in the cute face!
Maryl, and others, if you are in the Dallas area in spring or fall, come see my garden! I am President of the Dallas Rose Society and also a member of the Collin County Rose Society and am on their spring garden tour. Also, we will be having the South Central Regional Convention next fall and would so love for you to come. My garden will be one of the many on tour.
Vicki: Did you make it to the regionals this fall in Tulsa?...I'll tell my sister you liked her cat. She thought about a Scottish Fold for awhile but settled on this breed because she likes the persian type nose. Personally my 4 cats are just what God decided to send my way(rescues), but I love them all......Maryl

Flat Dead Dark Brown Matted Grass Issues
Hi all,
I moved into a new home last year and my lawn is littered with grass issues which I presume is from grubs or previous grub infestations. I am 100% positive it is an active grub problem in some areas of the lawn (I pulled sod back and found around 10-12 per sq ft just under the sod roots), other areas not so much. These dead areas have created depressions in the lawn where the healthy grass grows in clumps surrounded by the dark brown dead matting.
The problems areas have dark brown, dead grass that is matted down, basically just down the root system that is dark brown. It's predominately just the roots that create this matting. It's not prevalent so much across the entire lawn, some areas are worse than others...most of it is just spotty amongst healthy grass. With some effort I can pull it up with a rake but I have to basically stab it...I can get it up easier using a small, 3-prong/finger weed rake but it's gonna take me forever at this rate. Although dead, the mass of root matting is still firmly attached to the ground and comes up in dry clumps not large pieces.
Anyway, my question in trying to fix these areas is if I can just go over the depressions and dead matting with 1/2" to 1" of loam (selectively spread in areas that need it), seed & fertilize or do I have to get the dead grass matting up and out of the ground for the new loam/seed to establish? Something tells me that I need to get the dead matting up as it would be fairly hard for new seeds in thin soil above to establish itself, but maybe I'm wrong.
Below are some photos of from last June, you can see the bare spots/depressions in the pictures but with it being April right now and everything dormant, it looks 300% worse and the 'matting' is more evident in many more places than shown in the pics...
Hope to get some help...with a 3 year old and 12-week old twins, I don't have much time to dedicate but am willing to put as much effort as I can to get this addressed before green-up gets into high gear. Comments appreciated.
That's the thing...the dead brown matting is still locked into the soil and takes a lot of stabbing with the corner of a rake to peel it up. Last year NO grass grew where these areas were, almost like they were impenetrable to new grass.
1. Loam over dead spots with 1/2"-1" loam, seed & fert.
2. Pull up dead grass, loam, seed & fert.
3. Pull up dead grass, put seed down in the depressions & seed.

What a lovely quilt, each block a work of art. Congratulations to you and your guild.
no it was machine quilted by Cheryl Winslow, absolutely the most stunning quilting I've ever seen. I get her to quilt most of my quilts, I just hand over the top and backing, and say "do your magic". The only part I worked on was the sashing, and getting the committee organized. It took a year to design and make it. We got our most talented applique masters to do the blocks, they are all hand done, needle turn appliques, all botanically correct, original drawings by one of our members who's a retired Biology teacher and artist. It appraised at almost $3,000. one of the judges yesterday she'd never in her life seen such a stunning raffle quilt.

Sprouts and microgreens?
Just curious about how many growers here sell sprouts or microgreens? Is there much of a market for these items in your area? Any suggestions on how to go about growing or selling them?
This may seem strange, but a friend of mine raises and rescues parrots and was looking for a place to get them for her birds. Of course, I suggested she just try to grow her own, but prehaps a pet store or were they sell birds only would be a market for you. People pay good money to take care of their pets, and parrot food is pretty pricey. I have two and mine love my garden as much as we do!!
I started doing sprouts last fall to try and get some extra income coming in over the winter. I grow clover (similar to alfalfa), popcorn shoots, pea shoots, buckwheat lettuce and sunflower. In regards to the microgreens - easiest was arugula but I have also done bull's blood beet, spinach and chervil. I found the last three time consuming as the seed didn't pop off very easily.
I was selling to an independent produce store but he has since sold to a chain which I can't supply to. I sell to a caterer who uses the clover sprouts in her sandwiches and to a chef who uses them to spruce up his salads in the winter months.
If you are interested I can let you know how I did the set up of it because I didn't want to fork out alot of money and not be able to sell them so I did the setup - I think quite economical.
The pet store is an interesting idea!
Well here goes. For the clover I purchased two Bioset Kitchen Salad Garden (I actually got my last one at a health food store - thereby saving shipping). It is on the go constantly.
In regards to the sprouts - you first need to soak them overnight - I use pyrex 9x13 pans. Then they have to be rinsed two to three times a day until they start to root. This is were I had trouble coming up with something that was reusable and economical but then the lightbulb went on. I put a black mesh seedling tray inside a solid tray, line the mesh tray with a cotton cloth (tea towel)(can be washed and bleach and reused. When you need to rinse simply lift out the mesh tray, rinse, dray and put back into the solid tray. They also need to be in darkness so I covered a clear dome lid with black plastic. The sunflower sprouts can go right ontop of #4 mix (I use two solid black trays) and covered with about 3 rows of paper towels kept moist until they start to sprout (skip the rinsing method). In regards to the pea shoots, if you want yellow popcorn shoots leave them covered in darkness, green popcorn shoots let open to the light. I covered a large plastic dome with black plastic. I hope I make sense!! I then just use my black plastic trays and #4 mix (that is what costs the most). When the sprouts are ready for harvest just clip, throw the #4 into the compost, wash and bleach the trays and they are ready to use again and again.
Now in regards to the set up - I bought two metal shelving units (the chrome ones you see everywhere) one has five shelves and the other four (three trays fit on each shelf perfectly). Everything was growing fine in the summer close to the window and the sunshine then winter came and I couldn't figure out why nothing was greening up-another lightbulb moment - lights. We had 2ft florescents that my husband added a plug to and hooked them unto the underside of each shelf, put them on timers and we were back in business. Also hooked up a small fan to keep the air circulating so mould doesn't set in.
The microgreens are pretty expensive to do because of the cost of the seed - everytime you use so much to cover the tray and get a decent crop. I have just narrowed it down to arugula and buckwheat lettuce. Neither of these seeds should be soaked because they just turn to glue. Just sprinkle onto of the #4 mix and keep moist by misting regularly.
On more thing - shop very carefully for your sprouts. My regular supplier was out of popcorn shoots so I started sourcing elsewhere - I was going to cost me almost $75.00 more to buy somewhere else so I just put those shoots on hold until I could get more from him. Also buy in bulk and keep them in your freezer.
It is a full time venture because you no sooner get one tray under the lights and it is time to start the next set but it has really increased our income over the winter months.
Hope you understand all this, if not ask away.
Take care
When I sold by sprouts etc to the produce store I sold them in clamshells. Great idea for the pet store because you can put your label on the top and get your name out there.
I might suggest you put some paper towel in the bottom to absorb the moisture and they last longer.
The clover and pea shoots have the longest shelf life.
Hey gardener1908 let us know how you make out if you decide to give it a go.
Take care
When I was selling to the produce store, the clover & pea shoots I think last a week possibly a week and half. The sunflower must be really dry and you may get it to last a week. The paper towels helped alot.
I sell clover sprouts every week to a caterer and I think she is Ok with them for that period of time if she doesn't use them all.
The buckwheat lettuce and popcorn shoot don't last that long maybe three to four days.
Hope that helps.
I found a web site - called "Sproutpeople" that sells sprouting seeds for parrots. So that tells me there is a market. I think it will make a good late fall / early winter project. I think I'll start by talking to a few pet stores and parrot shops and see what kind of interest I get. What prices would you charge?
I would also check out Mumm's. I found their prices to be the best.
It's hard to say what I would charge, maybe go into the pet stores and just look around to see if they have any, or phone around. I have only sold to stores for human consumption. Maybe also check around to see if there is anyone selling parrots independently.
Now you have got me wondering!! Keep me posted.
You guys are all lucky in other states. Around here the board of health will shut you down if you're not doing sprouts in an "approved kitchen". Actually the whole state of Indiana. You might want to check and see if you can sell them in your state before you spend any money.
Gardener1908. You really got me thinking about the pet thing. Went on line to find out exactly what parrots eat and then went on to find out people who raise parrots in our province. Came up with a list aviary's and also then thought what about a vet.
Just a thought as there are not alot of independent pet stores around now and the big box one probably would not be able to take your product because you would have to supply to all their stores.
Keep me posted on what you are doing and any thoughts you might have.
herbgardener - will do . I will be busy the next few weeks harvesting and processing. But like I said I think this would be a nice fall/winter project. Most stores , even big boxes can buy some things locally , or maybe a sign on their bulletion board. My vets office also has a board where you can post things. Some vets specilize in birds, that would be a good prospect. Please keep me posted from your end too! Good Luck.
herbgardener - talked to my friend who does the rehab thing. She also said they are good for turtles, lizards and snakes (yikes!) So I do think the pet market could be a lucrative market. She said most people who have exotic pets are more willing to spend money, when you pay $2500.00 for a parrot you want to keep them healthy. Plus they live a long time, some to 60 yrs.
I grow microgreens only for insects. I soak low quality sunflower seeds (Chirp brand bird seed) in 10% household bleach solution for 8-9 hours before sowing them onto potting soil. I grow microgreens for insects, and have found in three trials that microgreen sunflower seeds soaked in 10% bleach grow thicker stems, sprout more often, and develop adult leaves faster than water only, 5% and 30% concentrations, though 5% bleach is a close second (5% bleach soak sprouted 6/12 in low density planting, while 10% bleach sprouted 5/12.) But, I keep my sprouts exposed to light for their entire sprouting, which makes them less palatable for people, and may affect growth rates. Selling microgreens to schools who raise butterflies or other insects for class experiments has potential.
