I have plenty of frosty pink,unknown pink& a seedling pink Brugmansia cuttings.
Trade or postage.they are ready to be potted.were cut nov 24th. |
Here is a link that might be useful: look in brugmansia albulm for photos
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi..WOW I looked at your pictures of the brugs and they are beautiful!!! I don't have anything to trade with at this time. Unless you would like some cuttings from a small tree that my mother-in-law calls a Golden Showers..I think it might be Christmas Senna or would you like some white Confederate Rose cuttings? I would like to have some of your frosty pink and the others. I would be more than happy to pay for postage for them. Please let me know. Thank you. Deb |
Hi, I would love to have some of these for postage. Or you can see if there's anything on my trade list you'd like, I don't have any brugs there though. |
You both have mail. I still have plenty left for anyone else. |

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Molema, Matlho Segopotso firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-09222008-124203 Document Title Improving meat tenderness with vitamin D3 and electrical stimulation Degree MSc(Agric) : Meat Science Department Animal and Wildlife Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof E C Webb Supervisor Keywords
- mutton
- tenderness
- electrical stimulation
- beef
- vitamin D3
Date 2007-09-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract Meat tenderness is regarded as the single most important characteristic of meat quality. Fifty Bonsmara feedlot steers were fed a commercial feedlot ration (10,5 MJ MElKg DM, 12% CP), supplemented with 0,15mg Zilmaxlkg live weight in the feed and with different levels of vitamin D3 (1 to 5 X 106 IU Vit D3 /day) for five days prior to slaughter. The steers were randomly allocated to the vitamin D3 treatments and a control group that received no vitamin D3 supplementation. The steers were fed from ca. 248 ± 3 kg live weight, while Zilmax was fed for the last 35 days to a target weight of ca 400kg. All steers were slaughtered at a commercial abattoir after a Zilmax withdrawal period of 7 days. Samples from m. longissimuss lumborum were collected 24h post-mortem for sheer force testing on an Instron apparatus equipped with a Wamer Bratzler shear blade. Cooking loss was determined by measuring the amount of fluid loss after cooking. Feedlot performance, carcass characteristics and drip loss of meat samples did not differ significantly between the different vitamin D3 treatments. The inclusion of 5 X 106 IU of vitamin. D3 resulted in significantly lower shear force (SF) values compared to the steers in the control group. The results suggest that dietary supplementation of 5 X 106 IU of vitamin. D3 may significantly improve the tenderness of meet from steers fed 0, IS mg Zilmax ®/kg live weight for the last 35 days in the feedlot.
The aim of the second study was to explore the effectiveness of the use of electrical stimulation on tenderness of mutton. In this experiment 22 wethers of class AB weighing between 45 and 50kg were used. The carcasses were assigned to two treatment groups, of which group one was electrically stimulated (ES) and the other group was not electrically stimulated (NES). The results revealed that electrical stimulation did not significantly affect of the fatty acid content of meat and crude fat content. Treatment however, significantly (P< 0,038) influenced the moisture content of the samples. There was a variation in SF values between the two treatment groups; SF of samples from the ES group were lower compared to that of the NES group. This suggests that ES can be successfully applied to reduce the variation in tenderness within the class- AB mutton.

Optimal Arrangement of Egyptian Overhead Transmission Lines' Conductors Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper focuses on reduction of electromagnetic field emissions and hence reduction of the right-of-way (ROW) regarding re-arrangements of the conductors of 500 kV single-circuit and 220 kV double-circuit Egyptian overhead transmission lines (OHTLs). The technique used in this paper is based on optimal conductor arrangements obtained using the Genetic Algorithm. The input data to the genetic algorithm include the clearances between conductors and earthed objects, the clearances between individual conductors, and the calculated values of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) and the radio interference (RI). 3-D integration technique is used to calculate both the EMFs under the OHTLs. On the other hand, the excitation function method is used to calculate the RI. The EMFs are calculated at the ground surface under OHTLs and hence the ROW can be indicated. The comparison between the results of both conventional and optimal arrangements indicates the effective of the optimal one.

22.3-580mm lens with macro focus to within half an inch
By Fred Singer
August 23, 2012
The Pentax X-5, which will be available in September from Adorama, is the first Pentax EVF camera in quite a while, and offers state-of-the-art features for snapshooters looking to upgrade and more advanced photographers looking for a longer focal range in a compact camera that's well suited for travel photography.
The Pentax X-5 sports a 22.3-580mm (35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens with macro mode focusing to 0.4 inches, and a 16MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Pentax claims the X-5's image processing will produce low noise, even up to ISO 6400. This may be possible using Handheld Night Scene, a shooting mode that combines multiple images into a composite picture that is said to reduce or eliminate camera shake blur and noise.
The X-5 offers a full choice of shooting modes, from Auto Picture (the camera chooses the most appropriate scene mode based on the shooting situation) to Program or Manual, custom settings, movie, and several scene modes.For videographers, the X-5 can shoot full 1080p HD movie in h.264 recording format at 30fps. High-speed, slow-motion, and time-lapse record and playback modes are available.Additional features include:
The Pentax X-5 will be available at Adorama in September for $299.95.

Town and metropolitan borough (pop., 2001: 301,417), northwestern Greater Manchester, historic county of Lancashire, England. It lies along the River Douglas and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Coal was mined from the 14th century, and textiles were produced in the area as early as the 16th century. Industrialization in the late 18th century was accelerated by the building of canals and railways. Textiles have declined in importance, and the last coal mine closed in 1993. New industries, including food processing, paper and packaging, and electrical engineering, have broadened the economy. Tourism was spurred by George Orwell's treatise The Road to Wigan Pier.

4 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a JavaScript Framework
Over the last five years, there's been an explosion of innovation in both web and native technologies. With the rapid release of libraries, frameworks and tools, developers now have many options to create applications. But, have design patterns and the general utility of micro-library stacks really added productive value to full-scale enterprise web development? To find out, read this article and sign up for our upcoming webinar.
Create Custom Charts using Sencha Charts
With the launch of Ext JS 5, Sencha introduced a new and more powerful Sencha Charts package, which has built-in support for touch events. This means you can use touch gestures to interact with the charts. In this guest post, Ajit walks you through how to create custom charts using Ext JS 5.
A Fond Farewell to YUI
Last week, Yahoo announced they are immediately stopping all new development on their Yahoo User Interface (YUI) library. The Sencha Ext JS framework and YUI have a kinship and a long history together, so we wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on our past and discuss what the future holds.
The Downside of Native Packaging
The 2007 introduction of the iPhone ushered in a new era of mobility. We now expect our applications and data to be accessible on the most convenient network-connected device. Our appetite for mobile technology has resulted in a massive influx of mobile devices supporting a myriad of different mobile operating systems.
Toward Modern Web Apps with ECMAScript 6
ECMAScript, the official name for the language we all know as JavaScript, has enjoyed tremendous success over the last couple of years. With convergent standard support, performance boosts from modern JavaScript engines, as well as its foray into the server-side stack, ECMAScript has gained significant traction and redefined the scope of HTML5 applications. In this article, we'll cover updates in ECMAScript 6.
5 Myths About Mobile Web Performance
Recently we've heard some myths being repeated about mobile HTML performance that are not all that accurate. Like good urban myths, they sound compelling and plausible. But these myths are based on incorrect premises, misconceptions about the relationship between native and web software stacks and a scattershot of skewed data points. We thought it was important to address these myths with data that we've collected over the years about performance, and our own experiences doing optimizations of mobile web app performance.
UI Testing a Sencha App
A few months ago, I wrote a post titled Automating Unit Tests that covered how developers could write unit tests for their business logic and validate their JavaScript syntax. Understanding these concepts is essential when building an enterprise application: bugs must be caught before changes are pushed into production or catastrophic consequences may follow.
Creating Native Applications with Sencha Desktop Packager
Sencha Desktop Packager is a new product, included with the Sencha Complete: Team bundle, which enables you to take your existing Ext JS web application and package it as a native desktop application. From here, you may deliver your application to your customers who are running Windows and Mac OS X
Automating Unit Tests
One of the first questions I always hear when starting with a new client is "How can I build unit tests for my application?"
It's obvious that many people understand the benefits of unit tests – developers want to minimize the number of bugs in their code and managers want to reduce the amount of time required to test an application before release. Although the concept of unit testing has existed for years, software teams are only now beginning to explore building tests for their Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).

heart THANKS FOR ALL THE APPLICATIONS heart
I would like to make a manga circle that takes place over summer when most people are out of school. Everything will take place online. I personally want the circle to be between 5 or 6 people in order to best integrate each one's individual skills in order to make at least one 40 page chapter. Not only do I want a mix of artists and writers, but I also want a mix of people who like/specialize in different genres. I also don't want any one person doing anything by themselves. If each member helps each other in each step of the process, that would be ideal. The thing is, though, that I want this project to be something that everyone can be proud of so I'm going to make a little application process to avoid super n00bs getting into the circle. ( NOTE: I'm not trying to be a perfectionist about this. In fact, I'm mostly in it for the learning experience)
Here is the form~ You could just copy and paste. Feel free to rant, ramble or post little details you don't think are that important. Post even if you think you won't be chosen. I have strange tastes, you know?
*Quote me, if you would please*
User: (aka your username, or a supercool nickname if you so desire)
Artist and/or Writer:
Sample: (a few drawings/gallery if you're an artist, or a sample of anything you've written as a writer)
Specialty: ( I am really enthusiastic about drawing/writing ___, My best aspects is is the way I draw/write ___ )
Flaws: (I need to practice ___)
Genre I'd Like to Make: (Post what you don't really want to see, too. We will compromise on this as a team. You must accept the genre decided on by the majority. However, NO vulgarity)
Notes: (Anything else you'd like to say...comments, your expectations, goals?)
I'm not good at organizing my thoughts, so there's more...
We would need to be able to communicate with each other with ease. I'm not going to ask that we exchange phone numbers (because I personally will NOT do that), but if you're active on Gaia that should be enough. Please don't post if you can't commit. I understand summer is when people are going on vacations and if you're gone for a week toward the beginning or end of summer, that's understandable but please if you can help it. Try not to leave for a month in the middle of summer and not check Gaia at all.
So, if you're interested please post here or PM me. And thanks for reading~ I know I kind of ramble a bit.
This is what my form would look like:
User: Moeotaku1, but you can call me Moe
Artist and/or Writer: I'm mostly an artist, but I am graced by a good story every now and again
Sample: Sadly, I don't have a gallery, but here are some of my prized jewels
Specialty: I draw people best. I am studying panel layout and flow and also how to draw folds in clothing.
Flaws: I can't do anything digitally (excluding coloring) unless I spend hours on it. Example:
On it's own it may look fine, but when I compare to the pencil sketch it's just dissapointing. I'm also working on getting my hands on better pens for inking! I was working on how to write stories, too but I haven't put anything to practice yet. I hope to work on it before the summer begins.
Genre I'd Like to Make: I like shojonen where there's action with all the mushy love stuff in it too~ 3nodding I really hate battle manga that just has battle after battle with no buffers or anything (even though I did like DBZ Kai) or ditzy love stories with no important/striking conflicts.
Notes: I'm still in school. I really want to publish at least a novel on my own before I graduate. I hope we all get to know each other well and become online buddies. When we finish, if we all love it, I want to try to publish it online like on comicseries or something(if it's okay with everyone) under a super cool pen name.

Our friend Jim McCarthy, also from the Danbury, CT area, put together this tribute video. Please watch the video and read Jim's words below.
From our friend Jim McCarthy
I don't know what this video will ultimately accomplish. I began putting it together to help me cope, and I suppose I wanted it to give some semblance of comfort and hope to the families of the Newtown, CT shootings on 12/14/12. My wife and I grew up one town over in Danbury, so this hits close to home for us on several levels. We have 3 children 6 and under. One of the victims, Caroline Previdi, was the daughter of a lifelong friend of my brother-in-law. We cannot possibly imagine what those families are going through right now. When I heard the news of the amount of casualties on Friday, the two things that replayed over and over again in my mind were this song, and the shortest verse in the Bible, John 11:35 - "Jesus wept." He wept not because he just lost his best friend Lazarus, He wept because it was never supposed to be this way. I sincerely hope this video helps in your grieving process for this awful tragedy.

Crispy Parmesan Pork
December 2011The crunch factor: A coating of parmesan and almonds contrasts beautifully with the juiciness of these pan-fried chops.
Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 30 mins
Cook: 10 mins
- 1 tangerine or small valencia orange
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- Salt and pepper
- 1 small red onion, slivered
- 4 boneless, 1/2-inch-thick pork loin chops (4 oz. each)
- 1/2 cup (2 oz.) slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 egg
- 6 - 7 cups baby spinach
- Grate the tangerine to get 2 tsp. zest; place the zest in a measuring cup. Halve and squeeze in the fruit to get 1/4 cup juice. Whisk in 2 tbsp. EVOO, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Place the onion in a small bowl; add 1 tbsp. of the tangerine dressing and toss to coat.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper. Using a food processor, grind the almonds and parmesan to the texture of fine breadcrumbs. Place in a shallow bowl. Put the egg in another shallow bowl and lightly beat. Dip the pork in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then dip in the crumb mixture (pat the crumbs on nice and thick). Place on a plate and let sit while you heat the EVOO.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsp. EVOO over medium-high heat until shimmering. Reduce the heat to medium, add the pork and cook on 1 side until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the pork and cook on the second side until golden and mostly cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the pork sit in the pan for 3 minutes.
- In a salad bowl, toss the spinach with the onion and remaining dressing. Serve with the pork.

Wildlife becomes roadkill on Saguaro National roads
TUCSON, Ariz. -- It's something of a slaughterhouse for wildlife on Saguaro National Park roads.
Officials of the southern Arizona park said research indicates that vehicles hit and kill at least 30,000 animals annually.
The Arizona Daily Star said roadkill victims include mountain lions, bobcats, deer, coyotes, birds, lizards, toads and snakes.
Park biologist Natasha Kline said the miles of roads through and around the park's sections east and west of Tucson are a major factor.
Many of those roads are open 24 hours a day, though the eight-mile scenic-drive loop in the park's eastern unit is closed at night.
Steps that could reduce the carnage include closing roads or using structures and other means to slow traffic and keep wildlife from crossing roads.

A significant exhibition touring to more than ten cities in China in 2010–2012, sponsored by the U.S. Embassy-Beijing.
For the past 35 years, Minnesota photographer Wing Young Huie has used photography to document the American immigrant experience, and to encourage viewers to ask questions about home, community, and identity. Recognizing the importance of these questions in our increasingly global world, Arts Midwest is currently touring Wing's Identity and the American Landscape, an exhibition of 60 images, to cities across China.

Well I couldn't find a congruent howto out on the internet, and being as my LDAP replication post is currently the most-viewed page on the blog this month – I thought I'd do a little bit more technical documentation.
I know that in many cases, 'reading the manual' can be a very annoying way of learning, but I've always read it at least once. With ppolicy & openldap you'll get nowhere without RTFM, so please make sure you leave yourself time to go through it.
OpenLDAP is a beast, but it can be a very friendly beast. Like the beast out of Beauty and the Beast, it reacts differently to different people. Were you Belle – then you'll have no problems (notice how Belle reads books) but were you to be Gaston (who uses force & brute strength) the beast isn't going to like you.
Well I'm assuming you already have a working OpenLDAP setup (including user authentication through PAM)- if you haven't then there are some quite good howtos for starting off. If you want advice – please comment rather than send me an email – as then other people will be able to learn from both your questions, and the answers provided (not just by me, but other commentators).
The best thing to do first is to make sure you have decent rpms. See THIS POST for how to get them setup on Centos/RHEL. If you're using another distribution, then make sure their packages applications have a good reputation for working.
ppolicy.la is a module file, and will be installed in /usr/libs/openldap/. It's a good idea to check it's there. The other thing to do is to copy the ppolicy.schema to /etc/openldap/schema/ directory – and make sure that all the attributes you need are uncommented (pwdReset was commented as default, and I didn't realise). It's probably a good idea to read through the schema file too.
In slapd.conf add:
modulepath /usr/lib/openldap
moduleload ppolicy.la
then you need to add the following after the DB section:
overlay ppolicy
ppolicy_default "cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com"
Providing you've got the ACLs set correctly in your slapd.conf (too big to consider covering in this howto) that's all the slapd.conf configuration you'll need.
The other file you'll need to edit it /etc/ldap.conf
uncomment pam_lookup_policy yes
that will now allow PAM to lookup the ppolicy from the LDAP directory.
Ah ha! I know what we've forgotten, the actual policy!
Well this bit's probably the easiest bit (technically) though you'll have to work out what policy you'll be implementing yourself.
Create a new .ldif file called ppolicy.ldif (or jabberwocky.ldif if you like, it really doesn't matter) and add the following details:
# default, policies, example.com
dn: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: default
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdMaxAge: 7516800
pwdExpireWarning: 432000
pwdInHistory: 6
pwdCheckQuality: 1
pwdMinLength: 8
pwdMaxFailure: 4
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1920
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE
You'll have different policy options, and by no means am I suggesting the above is a good configuration. Read through the manual and find out the options you want to set. It _may_ be a good enough configuration for you, but I accept no responsibility for it.
Once you've done that run the following
ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x -f jabberwocky.ldif (replacing jabberwocky with your choice of ldif name)
You'll be prompted to enter your password – and then hopefully you'll see something along the signs of Success!
Once that's done, run
ldapsearch -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x
which will output the results of what's in the ldap tree (and if you scroll up you should see your brand new ppolicy.
Now you can restart LDAP (notice how we didn't before, just in case users were attempting to authenticate they'd be mightily disrupted).
Hopefully that will restart with no errors. That's that.
The behaviour will rely heavily on your configuration, thereby you can only test your configuration, rather than ppolicy itself.
If you want to check it's working then run the following (provided that pwdMustChange is set to true in the defauly policy):
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W
dn: uid=($user),ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: pwdReset
pwdReset: TRUE
then press return and it should say success. try and login now with your username ($user) and your old password. It will then log you in and ask you to change it.
If you have problems with openLDAP itself, then the guys in #ldap on irc.freenode.net are very helpful. However, if it's a problem with another application interfacing with LDAP, please don't disturb them. LDAP connects with hundreds of applications, so please ask the application developers ahead of the LDAP ones.

I decided to put a thermostat on my pellet stove to see if it would help with the pellet cost.
I wired it to the circuit board as instructed, moved the jumper, and turned the stove on an waited to be amazed, how simple 1 wire and 4 screws. What I soon realized was that the stove was cycling as indicated in the manual, but only from settings 1 through 3 instead of 1-6, and would just keep repeating this. It never got the house over 70 degrees. Very cost effective on the pellets but not much for comfort. Does any one have any ideas here? |

Iwould contact the Mfg to see if this is normal. |
I finally did get ahold of the manufacturer. What I was told was to remove the jumper, completly and this would allow the stove to cycle through all of the heat settings on the stove. This part was never mentioned in the owners manual that came with the stove or on the manuals on the web site. Now it is a completely different stove. |

Hey there, I know it's not hot peppers but I didn't see a sweet pepper forum and wanted to find out if anyone knew what types of peppers they were? The bag my mother had purchased was from pero family farms. All it had labeled on it was mini sweet peppers and they had an absolutely great taste, I just have no idea if they are just some plain mini variety or if they were a specific type. Anyone able to provide any insight to these? |

I grew from seeds from the mini sweet peppers last year. Since they are a hybrid no telling what you may end up with. I ended up with larger peppers than the original but nothing compaired to the size of a bell. In the pic they are the ones lined up below the yellow bell peppers. Another GW forum member did the same except he got large long peppers. |

Found the link on Pedro sweet peppers grown from seeds store bought peppers |
Here is a link that might be useful: GW post on Pedro pepper thread
Oh wow, that's nuts Mark! I may end up planting a few seeds and seeing what kind of mystery plant I end up with hah. |
ab2008: I did the same thing last year. I harvested seed from some mini sweet peppers I had bought in the super market (Aldi's). I got the idea to harvest some of the seeds and save them to see if I could grow them out. I planted one about a month ago and it is growing great. Not sure what I will end up with but it is growing much faster than the other couple varieties that I planted at the same time. They were labeled mini bells and there were yellow, orange and red ones. I pulled a few seeds of each. I am growing the red one. They were very tasty and sweet. Much better than a standard bell. Bruce |
I purchased seeds last year from heirloom acres, mini yellow and mini red bell peppers. Great taste, very prolific, but tons of seeds and kind of a pain to prep/eat. |
- Posted by sandysgardens 4MN (My Page) on Fri, Mar 1, 13 at 6:51
Bruce - I buy the bag of mini sweets at Aldi's too for a great little sweet pepper in the winter. I'll have to get another bag and quickly get some seed planted this weekend and see what I come up with. |
sandysgardens: I can send you some of my mini bell seeds already to go if you like. That way you won't have to wait for them to dry. I could get them in the mail on Saturday and you would probably get them Monday or Tuesday. Just email me your address if you want some. Bruce |
Yup, I'm the other guy that grew out those mini sweet pepper seeds. Hab got little ones that look similar to what was in the package. I got these: |
I put some of the seeds out of the orange pods out, going to see what I end up with. I know the peppers have a really good taste, but it'll be interesting to see what I end up with! |

Seems like the poster might be referring to a seed variety or source to purchase these types- There are many currently available. A few years ago I planted a mix called "Yummy blend". They were good but I couldn't descern which would be yellow, red or orange until they ripened. Last year I planted 3 types: Red Baby and Yellow Baby. I hardly planted a dozen since plant sales were fantastic once people saw plants with fruit. I'm going to repeat those again but I also purchased seeds of the "Lunchbox" serries- red, yellow and orange and also "Cute Stuff Red' just to try those out. Choices are good. Unlike what some others stated, I noticed hardly any seed in these mini bells. I find it the best quality of these. I've seen references to these in many catelogs. I got my "Baby" series from Rupp Seeds and the "Lunchbox" series from johnny's. Tomato Growers supply has the Cute stuff. I have enough trouble with unexpected results from seed purchased so I don't save seed. If you chose to save seed from a hybrid you run an very likely risk of unusual results. |
When I grow from saved seed, I plan for the possibility of hybrids. If I want defined results, I will grow from either store bought or "isolated" seed stock. The unexpected results can be part of the fun IMO. Bruce |
That's right Bruce. I'm not expecting to end up with the same thing I bought, but they have a good taste, and if they even taste similar and just as sweet - I don't care what they look like. |
Last year I grew out an Orange Bell from seed I took out of an Orange Bell Pepper from Walmart. It grew great and put out a lot of nice peppers until the main branch on it broke one day in a high wind. I had to pick the 5 peppers on it green and only one was at or close to full size. Here is a photo of one of the peppers after I picked it. Bruce |

Hey Bruce I know the feeling when a plant snaps. I had that happen but I used thread and was able to let the peppers ripen on the plant. Mark |
Actually, if you put it back in place, tie it up like you did, and hit it with some wound sealer, its entirely possible the branch will heal back together as if it were a graft. |
Hmmm, my wife is a nurse, maybe she could have done something. Some bacatracin and and surgical tape. Bruce |
I also bought a package of the sweet mini's from walmart after reading a post here about them last Spring, and saved seeds from the red, yellow, and orange. Ended with 2 plants of each, with most of the peppers ending up a little bit larger then the ones I bought, but sweet and good. One of the plants, however, was interesting. Very small peppers, about an inch in length, bullet shaped, and really sweet. Hundreds of those darn things on the plant. We used them just about daily to dunk whole in dips and such. I saved some seeds which I've planted, very, very few seeds if any in most of the pods, and overwintered the mamma. I REALLY hope this generation of babies turn out lthe same. It was like eating pepper candy, just pop them in your mouth. Oh, I need summer to come......and I agree with Bruce, I do like the interesting that come from Hybrids... |
Fwiw, I hope to offer more Crunch Sweet Orange this coming fall/winter (late 2013-early 2014) for free/SASE as I replenish my seed stock. As far as the other hybridization I'm stabilizing (anaheim x cubanelle)...that's years off. |
The interesting thing about growing the seeds out from these hybrids is seeing the throwbacks. I got big huge banana pepper looking pods, Lora got what sounds like some kind of ornamental pods. While the company that sells these peppers to the grocery stores won't say what they are (its a hybrid they produce themselves), these throwbacks are clues as to what they use. |
Yes Edymnion: I have come to learn that most peppers you buy in the stores are hybrids and being such, will produce seed that will grow into peppers that can have varying characteristics. My question on this is: Will the peppers resulting from the seeds of these hybrid peppers produce either a copy of the father plant, the mother plant or a copy of the hybrid that it came from? Or could it produce something completely different? Bruce |
On another note regarding these mini bell hybrids. I had started some seeds back on January 14th as a germination experiment to see if they were viable. They were, in fact, more prolific at germination than all the other seed stock I tested. They have also been much more prolific at growing since being planted and sprouting. I just checked my seedlings today and found that the Mini Bell already had buds. It is only a few inches tall but it sure looks like it is already putting out buds after about 6 weeks. It really surprised me. Now I am really getting interested to see how this thing comes out? Bruce |
I had posted this earlier yesterday but I must have not been paying attention when I was posting because I came back today and my post was gone. I have seen many cases where folks snap the main stems and are able to either tie thread around the break to repair it or use tape etc Interestingly enough, most times when the main stem has regrown it actually becomes stronger and looks like a bulge , it is actually common for people to use a method called 'Supercropping' which is similar to doing this. With supercropping, you pinch, roll and squeeze a specific spot on the stem and after a few days is will back to full health and it will be so much stronger. This is usually used when the plant cannot hold the weight of all it's fruit, by doing this is a few key spots it can increase the plant's strength and help it to stay intact and upright in the future. |

I've read this topic of saving seeds from bought produce a few times but never said anything until now. Don't think this is the stupidest post ever, as I'm not an expert and hope someone else can chime in to confirm or put my mind at ease... Do you guys not worry about saving seeds from store bought peppers to plant for yourselves? I wouldn't even consider it because store bought produce can be genetically modified to produce bigger, sweeter peppers, better yields, ripening all produce on the plant at the same time making them no longer natural. Same reason tomatoes in the stores taste like crap. I would never want to grow one of those. They can also be sprayed with toxic chemicals and or the plant itself diseased but you were unaware. The plant growing from a store bought vegetable no longer seems "natural". For me, the whole point of a greenhouse in Canada is to avoid purchasing produce, especially as quite a bit of it is imported from the USA where GMO's are becoming a bigger topic of concern. I surely wouldn't want anything transferred to my organic plants either. I may save it if the pepper was organic but I think I'd still go out of my way to find natural organic seeds instead. Opinions? Crazy Canadian Girl :) |
I think the problem with "store bought" veggies is more the fact that they are not as fresh as home grown and the fact that many are actually grown in green houses and under artificial conditions and not outside. I don't worry about the genetically altered aspect. Pepper plants are bred out all the time to produce different characteristics. Several people on this list actively do it. As for the plants being sprayed with "toxic chemicals". That is the plant itself. I haven't heard that those pesticides and such can be carried over through seed to the next generation. To each his own. But I am not an alarmist when it comes to food and "toxins". Sure, I try to minimize any exposure to toxins, but I am not an "organic, 100% natural" follower either. For instance, if my plants are being hit by a pest and the "natural" solutions fail, I will do anything short of Napalm to fix the problem. Even it means me not eating the peppers, I will win. But like I said, if someone can lead me to an effective natural solution, I am all for it. |
Eh, I wouldn't say I planted the seeds for production really. I loved the taste of them, and thought I'd ask on here, and a few of others' results made me want to try planting a few myself *just* to see what I end up with. And if I come out with a great tasting pepper, I've lost nothing. The organic thing, I think it's a term that gets thrown around more than it should IMHO, by everyone. Give it time before they start throwing "organic" twinkies and burritos in the stores. But - all in all the peppers had an awesome taste. If I can get something similar to that, I've achieved my goal by planting those seeds! |
" I wouldn't even consider it because store bought produce can be genetically modified to..." That's not an issue. In your supermarket you'll find papaya, and a small amount of sweet corn + squash...papaya from seed is a bad idea anyway vs a cultivar seedling, plus it's a very small growing area...sweet corn + the less than 5% of GMO squash you'll find don't contain plantable seed (too immature for seed sourcing). There's not much of a market for GMO development of non-grain/cotton (aka, 100s-1000s acres) field crops. Most of that work is being done by small, private companies, fwiw. Peppers are rather easy to grow with conventional herbicide/pesticide regimes...the most focused point of pepper breeding for commercial growers are varieties that can self-support without staking (taking a bit of labor work out of the fields). |
- Posted by HillSeeker 3B (My Page) on Mon, Mar 4, 13 at 17:40
I probably overused the word organic. I as well will use other products for infestations as needed. I just try my best to grow and eat "natural". You all made great points and changed my opinion on this. I admit I'm new to a lot of this info and am not familiar enough with pepper plants themselves. I'm loving learning. Thanks like usual! |
Glad you didn't take any of it personally HillSeeker as it isn't intended to be an attack on your views. In fact, you will find a great deal of people on this list that have virtually the same views on those subjects as you do. Neither view is particularly wrong, they are just different. And that is how we all learn on this list is by reading differing views and sharing personal experiences on each topic. Then we are all free to take out of the discussions what we want. Question: Are flame throwers considered "Organic". I nearly fired one up for the Aphids early last spring. Bruce |
Bruce, That is a perfectly acceptable practice. Just watch the plants! |
Does anyone have any updates of their results from this plant? I recently bought a "sweet pickle pepper plant" from Hirt's Gardens thinking they'd be similar, but I have yet to see the results (no blossoms yet) and thinking of planting the seeds from the actual sweet mini peppers from the package at the grocery store. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sweet Pickle Pepper Plant
Minami, Right now, my plants seem to be kind of slow growers, however the pods that it is setting (right now) are between 2-3" in length, I haven't let any ripen yet and have picked them while the are still green... Hoping that the plants catch up a little more. My 7 pot plants and other hots are a lot larger than these. With that said though, the pods themselves have a pretty good taste, though I'm sure it's better if I would allow them to ripe. We'll see how the plants are doing at the end of this month and into August. |
minami: Here is a photo of the "Red Mini Bell" that I grew from seed from a store bought pepper. Oddly enough, the pods seem to be growing in various shapes. Final sizes are yet to be determined. |
Thank you for the updates! My sweet pickle peppers are finally starting to blossom, but I ended up trying to get the seeds from the mini sweet peppers I got from the supermarket (the red yellow and orange ones in the little bag) to grow but couldn't even get the seeds to germinate. It's a bummer because those are my favorite peppers and it would be amazing to grow them in my own garden. Does anyone have any success growing them from purchased seed? |
minami: I saved seeds from all three colors of the peppers and have good success with getting them to germinate. I will send you seeds if you like? Just PM me with an address. Bruce |
Hi Bruce - Thank you so much! I actually found mini sweet pepper seeds for sale, and I purchased them, will update with results. Please keep me updated with your sweet peppers! |
Just started some of these grocery store mini sweets yesterday, Bruce, can you update on how yours did last year and what they looked/tasted like? I had 3 bell pepper seeds left over from a pack of last year's (last year was so wet in June and hot in July that I didn't get any peppers at all! and very late tomatoes). Not going to plant any more - I'm trying non-bell sweets instead, have Cornu di Toro and Sweet Banana. |
I grew some of the red mini sweets from the Pero Family Farms product from the grocery store last summer. These are not mini bell peppers. They look more like miniature Italian frying peppers. I only grew the reds because they were my favorites. All the seeds I planted germinated, but I only grew out three plants. They were about two feet tall and naturally bushy. They all produced peppers that looked like the originals. They were very productive and tasted great. Like their source, they didn't have many seeds. They will definitely be regulars in my garden from now on. |
Thanks Ohiofem - those were the same kind I planted, they're sweet but not bells. I've got 2 dozen cells filled with red-yellow-orange mix. Actually had quite a few seeds - I cored them so seeds still on cap, then diced the peppers and threw them in the freezer for cooking later. Didn't dry the seeds, but put the caps on paper towels for a few days. We'll see how they germinate. I also started some hot pepper seeds today - the hottest being Hot Lemon from Burpee (last of the packet - looked promising last year but too late to ripen). Some Hinkelhatz I saved in 2012 (so may be crossed), something that may have been Hot Portugal (or else a hotter Numex - I didn't plant any other long varieties that year) and saved. Guess I've got to buy some new pepper seed. Trying the last few Padrons (didn't germinate in 2012), Cascabels, Alma, etc. ottawapepper and smokemaster sent me a few years ago. Still trying to find some nice productive sweets. Now, chiles, Hinklehatz (Fedco) are really prolific, so were Jalapeno Gigante (Burpee). Could be that 2012 was a great year for peppers (not so much for tomatoes), but the Gigantes did pretty well last year - nice that you can harvest them green b/c that's all we got last season. I've still got 1 purple serrano (barely hanging in there), 3 bih jolokia and 2 Douglah in pots from 2012, I got 1 Douglah last year, going to put them in the ground this year and see how they do. Lots of flowers last 2 winters, but only that 1 fruit. They were started in Jan 2012. |
ajsmama: Mine grew pretty much true. They were maybe a little larger than the ones I got from the grocery store but they were veryyyyy sweet and juicy. Better than the store ones. Maybe since they were so fresh. Bruce |
Earlier than bells? More prolific? I'm so tired of trying to grow bells in our short season. Hope I started peppers early enough this year - feels very late, but given I'm not starting too many hots (and Hinklehatz is a cool-weather hot), maybe I'll have time to get some ripe ones? |
Almost all the peppers on my plant ripened by the time the season ended. Even the green ones were still very sweet. More prolific? I am not sure on that one. I do think you are getting a late start but you will have a longer season than I did so I think you will be fine. Good luck, Bruce |
I grew my three plants in a 10-gallon container in Zone 6a, very close to Zone 5b. I think peppers ripen a week or two earlier, and you can get them outside sooner, in containers. As I remember, I started seeds for these in mid-March, set them out in mid-May, started harvesting in mid-July and they produced until late September. Much more prolific than the last bell I grew. |
This year I was trying to follow the seed starting calendar from Johnny's, though I didn't agree with peppers being started Apr 3 to set out May 31 - June 1 so I backed them up a couple of weeks. Probably should have done it in Feb or March but hard to get into seed-starting mode when it's below zero at night and constant snowstorms - you must know the feeling ;-) Tomatoes are being started this week. It's probably the latest I've ever waited, but since I've given up on getting them in the ground until late May (and last year was horrible trying to harden anything off), I just figured I'd start short DTM varieties later this year and see how those went. Now I hope those seeds come soon, I mostly have mid- and late-season tomatoes from last year (a couple early ones). Thursday is supposed to be mid-40's (almost seasonable) before it drops into the 30's again for the weekend... |
You shouldn't let the current wintery weather to discourage you. BELIEVE ME spring and summer will come, just on time. About starting from seed: Most start their pepper about 2 weeks ahead of tomatoes, for the reason being that pepper grow at much slower paste than tomatoes. I am already experiencing that for sure. For the sweets, I have cubanelle, shishito, pepperoncini, Gypsy, sweet banana. I also have several milds like: Fresno, Hungarian Hot Wax, Bishops Crown, Chilaca. |

If you are not afraid to spend a few dollars for the seedlings the Bonnie Plants Gypsy Sweet Pepper is a great one. They go from green, to yellow, to orange, to red. They are very sweet, and will produce all season. The one I planted last year was setting fruit in triple digit heat provided I had a plant south of it for evening shade. I bought 5 more for this year. Planted a few days ago. 4 are looking like they are recovering from the transplant shock very well. The fifth one is recovering a little bit slower, but is doing ok so far. |
Are the seedlings from grocery store plants TINY?? I seeded sweet peppers 3/15 and hots 3/16, only have 1 heat mat (old warming tray) that maybe I've been keeping too low, have been switching them on and off of it once a day, I don't remember my setup in 2011 when I planted 2 trays (didn't start many the last 2 years). Have 1 teeny tiny sprout with cots in 1 cell, it looks like a weed to me not a pepper, will wait until it gets true leaves. Planted in mix of peat moss, perlite, Fafard #2 left over from last year and a little Espoma seed starter thrown in. Possible a tiny seed got into the peat moss or Fafard, perlite and Espoma were in ziploc bags so not likely there. I don't know how long to wait for germination - a lot of these were old seed (3 yrs or so), I read in a couple places seed only good for 1 year. But the jalapenos (Early and Gigante) and Hot Lemons were just bought last year, so were the bells (only 3 seeds left but I planted them LOL), Hinkelhatz were saved seed from 2012, the minis were straight out of the fruit (that had been refrigerated but I gave them a few days out of fridge, then cut them open and took the seeds out, let dry a bit on paper towel for another 5 days or so). Will fluctuations in temp from taking on and off the heat (say soil temp is 80 - I think my thermometer is running about 10 degrees low all this year) to 67 degree room temp (60 soil temp?) cause seeds to die? Or just slower going? Maybe it's best to just leave 1 tray on and the other off the heat? |

Forgot I started lettuce 3/11 and peppers 3/15-16. Didn't not when all the peppers germinated, only the 1 heat mat and 2 trays to shift around, but they've all pretty much germinated now, including 3 Cascabels that were much later than the others (I don't think Padrons are going to do anything). The grocery store peppers look nice and healthy. I think all the Almas and Tequila Sunrise germinated - and most of the Ancient Sweets. So definitely pepper seed can last longer than the 1 year some charts give for viability. Funny, I didn't get as good gemination on the Burpee serrano seed from last year. |

well, I am gardening, in containers, for the first time. I had already started a bunch of seedlings indoors when my 3 year old daughter suggested planting some seeds from the organic mini sweet peppers we were eating. I literally just took some of the seeds out and threw them in a cocofiber pod, not really expecting much. I was so surprised when by the second day all 7 seeds had already sprouted. Wow, such quick germination! Now I am just waiting to see if I manage to keep them healthy long enough to plant outside, and get fruit from :) I really hope so. My peppers came from Mexico, bought at my local health food store. edymnion I was curious if your long red peppers were sweet? Thanks. |

I have no reason for posting this here other than it happened in a city where I once worked at the daily newspaper — Logan, Utah — and the victim is apparently the nephew of one of my former colleagues. Also, it's a pretty amazing rescue. According to my old paper, The Herald Journal, the motorcyclist remains in intensive care but is expected to recover. Watch the rescue below.
WATCH: Bystanders lift vehicle, pull motorcyclist from beneath it after fiery wreck in Logan, Utah
Lesbian couple's heroic actions saved 40 teens during Norway massacre. Has the media ignored them because they're lesbians?
Unless you have been hiding under a big ol' rock somewhere since July 22, you probably know who Anders Behring Breivik is. He is the Norwegian right-wing extremist who bombed a Norwegian government building in Oslo, killing eight people, and then that same day headed over to Utoya where he massacred 69 people — mostly teens — attending the Norwegian Labor Party's Workers Youth League camp there.
Breivik has since described the attacks as a necessary tactic in a war against a Muslim invasion of Europe.
You've probably heard of him. But have you heard of Toril Hansen and Hege Dalen? They are the married lesbian couple who were camping across the lake from Utoyan, eating their dinner, when Breivik opened fire on the young people there. When the women heard the gunshots and saw the screaming teenagers running into the lake to escape, they jumped into their boat and motored straight into the line of fire to try and rescue the young people. It was a small boat, so the couple made four trips into the danger zone, to pull the fleeing teenagers from the water or pick them up from the shore.
Other people camping in that same area, also rushed to their boats to help rescue the teens. European news site The Independent — which by the way reported on Hansen and Dalen, referring to them simply as a couple, including the information that they are a lesbian couple but not making any big deal about it — pointed out that the campers rescued a total of about 150 teenagers fleeing the shooter that day.
Hansen and Dalen rescued 40 teenagers during the shooting, even though Breivik was shooting at them and their boat, too, actually hitting the boat several times.
Hansen and Dalen are heroes, but you may not have heard anything about them, because most of the press hasn't been reporting on their story. And some media outlets in Europe are wondering if that's because they are, first of all, women, and secondly, lesbians.
(The Huffington Post and several U.S. LGBT blogs and news sites have been reporting on the couple, by the way.)
Pink News, an LGBT news site in the United Kingdom ran this story that briefly outlines the couple's actions and then talks about the lack of media coverage. Mail Online, another U.K. news site, ran this similar report. The articles on both sites garnered plenty of comments along the lines, "These women are heroes, but why do you have to focus on their sexual orientation?"
The International Business Times also ran a report about Hansen and Dalen that questioned the lack of media coverage of their heroism. The first — and at the time I write this, only — commenter there pointed out that the women are responsible for rescuing about 10 percent of the 423 survivors, asking how such an "amazing" story has been overlooked by the media.
But this report in The Guardian, yet another U.K.-based news site, asks the questions most pointedly. Why have we hardly heard of Hansen and Dalen, the Guardian asks, then offers three possible — probable? — reasons:

Follow-Up Postings:
Try a new gasoline filter first. You will need about 16 inches of new gas line to replace the filter. Don't ask why that much--if you have done it before, you will understand why! Taper the new line, grease it, and stuff the tapered end thru the little hole where you pulled the old filter hose out, and then keep stuffing the hose in, until the tapered end comes out the gas filler cap hole. Cut the tapered end off, install the filter, then pull the hose back thru, until the filter is on the bottom of the tank, leaving it loose enough that it can flop around in the tank! Attach the other end and its done! |

Printed in the Issaquah PressTent City 4 stay eases Faith United fears
June 10, 2014 By Peter Clark Faith United Methodist Church's volatile decision to host Tent City 4 changed a lot of minds, church leaders said as the traveling homeless shelter moved to its next site May 31. After leaving Sammamish's Mary, Queen of Peace in January, Tent City 4 set up for an emergency 30-day stay in Lake Sammamish State Park with the approval of the state. With options running low, the regional shelter petitioned for Faith United, located near the Klahanie neighborhood, to host the encampment. "We kind of had to scramble to get things together, which we did," Pastor John Brewer said. "After we got out in front of it, the experience itself of hosting Tent City 4 has gone very, very well. It went really without incident." Although eight arrests occurred during Tent City 4's stay at Mary, Queen of Peace, Brewer said none occurred at Faith United. The church's congregation and the neighboring community met the matter with charged emotions when Brewer introduced it to them in a February informational meeting. Of particular concern was the proximity of Tent City 4 to the church's preschool. A group of parents openly expressed anger and threatened to remove their children from the school. At the time, school Director Kathryn Aitcheson estimated that if the school lost 30 students, it could not afford operational costs. After 60 days of parental patrols around the perimeter of the camp and active volunteering duties to provide meals to Tent City 4 inhabitants, Aitcheson said the school remains. "It wasn't that big of an impact that it could have been," she said and mentioned ways in which the school also benefitted. "It actually allowed a chance to get teachers and parents together here. It was a win-win." The school did not escape unscathed. Aitcheson said that 14 students did leave. She said many, if not most, were because of Tent City 4's arrival. The school's Parent Advisory Team, led by Lisa Deily, voiced great hesitation of welcoming Tent City 4 at February's meeting. She expressed concerns about exposing the young children to homelessness. After the camp left, however, she felt the church's involvement with Tent City 4 led to a growth opportunity for the whole community. "As a parent body, we all feel that the kids weren't even aware of Tent City 4," Deily said. "The teachers did a really good job of keeping it age appropriate. I think that speaks volumes of the preschool." She said the opportunity offered everyone a chance to more honestly communicate worries and hopes for their children as well as develop bonds. "It really did strengthen our preschool community," Deily said. "This had people talking and people getting to know each other a lot better through this. It was a challenge, but it was a growing experience in the long run." Aitcheson agreed. "It polarizes you, but then it brings you all together," she said. Residents staying in the shelter gave high praise to the church for the hospitality offered by its community. "I've been with Tent City 4 for over a year now and that was the best host I've had," shelter resident Terry Debell said. "Those people went all out." Representatives from Tent City 4 leadership offered testimony and assurances from past experiences with hosts during the community meeting. Debell said anxiety of first-time hosts was common. "The neighbors are hesitant and I understand it," he said. "But we left in their good graces and that's the way we want it. By the end, they miss us." He said he would have loved to stay, but "60 days is 60 days." "They were so generous and super nice," Debell said of Faith United's treatment. "I've been in a lot of encampments, and that's the best." Brewer remained extremely positive about the school, the congregation and the surrounding community. "I have to say the surrounding community has been so supportive," he said. "It was a successful mission of outreach. We would certainly consider hosting again." Tent City 4 settled into its new location, Bellevue's Temple B'Nai Torah, June 1. Learn more at www.sharewheel.org. Printed in the Highline TimesStory & Photos By Steve Shay09/20/2012 Tent City 3 homeless encampment keeps an eye out on its own, & on Tukwila neighborhood, it says Tent City 3, the homeless encampment of 100 adult men and women, plus a few cats and dogs, put down stakes last August at Riverton Park United Methodist Church, 3118 S 140th St., Tukwila, where it will remain until November 17, its official 3-month allotment. It will then relocate to a different church in the Seattle area. Like Tent City 4, its Eastside cousin, Tent City 3 is sponsored by the 501(c)(3) organizations Seattle Housing and Resources Effort (SHARE) and Women's Housing Equality and Enhancement League (WHEEL). According to Wikipedia, "The original Tent City and Tent City 2, both created in the late 1990s, were created illegally and opposed by the City of Seattle. After being tolerated for some time, they were eventually forced to shut down."
The other tent city, Nickelsville, is located in a West Seattle industrial area adjacent to its Highland Park neighborhood, and has remained there for 16 months and counting. Unlike the other encampments, Nickelsville accepts children. However, Tent City 3 has 20 emergency overflow beds, in addition to its capacity of 100, and says it will not turn away teen runaways in the short term. It will also help those under 18 find shelter and other services if they turn up at its entrance. Tent City resident, Andy: Tent City 3 resident, Andy, 37, spoke with the Highline Times while on desk duty at the entrance. The ex-Marine is from Richmond, VA., and said other veterans live at the encampment, mostly Army. "This is a 'participation camp', so we have security 24 hours a day," he said. "Someone is on the desk 24 hours a day, and we rotate with two residents on three-hour shifts, 24 hours a day who walk through the neighborhoods in a two block radius and watch for anything that happens. We keep a folder and write anything suspicious we see in the neighborhood. A lot of people see a stigma of encampments. We have zero tolerance for drugs, alcohol, violence. There is no loitering in the neighborhood, and only one entrance. I know everybody coming in and going. "About 25-percent of our residents work part time," said Andy, who has a background in construction including project manager and superintendent. "A large percentage is on SSI ( Social Security Supplemental Security Income) which is so low now they can't afford housing. Then you've got some with mental and physical issues where they can't seem to hold a job. Some just lost a job, and are looking, or are going to school. "We send out letters asking a church if they will consider hosting us," he said. We like to know the next site ahead of time of course. We don't ask for anything from the church other than the use of their land. We've stayed at this church a couple of times. They are nice people." Tent City 3 often returns to the same churches, creating a somewhat dependable cycle. These include St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral on Capitol Hill, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Shoreline, and Haller Lake United Methodist Church at 1st Av. NE and 130th. Tent City 3 hosted by SPU: They were hosted by Seattle Pacific University in January and stayed until March, unusual for a college. In an article by Mike Wold for Real Change, the weekly street newspaper, he quotes a homeless advocate who sites the encampment as a win-win both for its residents, and for SPU students... "The most important thing was that it broke down barriers," said Owen Sallee, coordinator of the Global and Urban Involvement program. "There's a difference between serving meals at a shelter where you don't eat with the guests and sitting down with people and getting to know them. You find out that they're not really that different from you. The differences are often no greater than the differences you might find with some of the people in your dorm." Real Change newspaper founder Timothy Harris: "I think one of the main attractions with the tent cities is that they have a peer management and peer support model that is less demeaning than most shelter," Real Change Founding Director Timothy Harris told the Highline Times. "They offer more flexibility, and in some respects better conditions in terms of personal security and crowding. The sense of safety comes out of the sense of community, which is absent in most large urban shelter settings. "I think for most people, housing would be much preferable to tent cities, but given the scarcity there that's a very theoretical choice," he added. "It's well known that homeless people who once had community in a shelter setting, and then get into housing and find themselves relatively isolated don't do very well and sometimes become homeless again. Some housing programs get that, and work to create a sense of community. But that's what people get in the tent cities, I think, that some are afraid they'd lose in housing." Tent City 3 residents Alan and Jennifer share a 10' X 16' tent provided by the encampment. Alan, 43, grew up in Tukwila not far from his current digs, and graduated from Foster High School there. "This is not exactly how I wanted to move back to the neighborhood, but, OK," said Alan. "I'm unable to work due to physical disabilities, asthma, a steel plate in neck, lower back troubles. I lived with my (ex) wife and three kids six years ago. I had my kids eight months and I just wasn't able to function. Things spiraled, and I lived on and off with girlfriends, friends, until I ended up with nothing. I took a look at tent city. I liked what I saw. "It is real, every day people who are here," he said. "It's not people who are always unwilling to work. You're one paycheck away (from homelessness), without a doubt. Sometimes circumstances snowball." "I came up here from the Bay Area to be with my ex-husband and we broke up," said Jennifer. "I stayed and he left. I feel safer here than the other options, like being on the street, or in a shelter. There are no strangers allowed. There is security here and people don't steal. Everybody here watches out for each other." Tent City 3 accepts donations onsite and offers a "Wish List" here. They are gearing up for the cold and rain and request winter clothes and blankets. They can be reached by phone at (206) 399-0412. They also seek volunteers to help them move on Nov. 17. |

You can easy put up to 3 plants in a 12" pot. They like modified sunlight, like under a tree or some shade. They will actually look sun-burned if they get too much on a hot day. They like a lot of water. And they will bloom like crazy. They need some fertilizer about mid-summer. |
