I want to make an artificial flower arrangement in a rather large basket. I always use florist foam in smaller baskets and since my arrangements have been small, I push the foam to the bottom and proceed. My question is, since the basket is so large, are there any suggestions for filling the bottom on the basket with something else and then adding the regular foam on top (which will be enough to hold flowers in place). I have thought of plastic bags or styrofoam peanuts. Has anyone done anything else? Thanks, Joyce |
Follow-Up Postings:
Joyce, you could use empty plastic 1/2 gal. milk jugs to take up space if your basket is really large. If you need weight, fill with sand to be sure basket won't tip over. I've used milkjugs with top cut down and filled with sand in tall baskets to hold grass stems and dried flowers. I just poke stems directly in sand...but these are sturdier stems than you might be using. josh |
Joyce, Just spotted your question. Go to a dealer that sells carpeting. See if they will give you one of the long rolls that carpet is rolled on. Now, saw the carpet roll into lengths that just end below the top of the basket. Glue these together lengthwise, tying with string around all until glue sets. The width of your glued rolls should, of course, fit into the basket tightly. I think you can figure out what to do from that point to make arrangements. For shorter baskets use paper towel rolls. I have done a number of permanent arrangements using this method, staggering the heights of the paper rolls, spray painting the cardboard rolls when glued together and letting them just stand, filled with flowers and a big bow tied around the base. Attractive and stable. Great for very long, very large displays. You can get very creative with this method. |
Hi Joyce If I am doing a large basket, I find a an inespensive filler is to use large pine cones. These fill up the basket and can pin your top foam in place. They have the advantage of looking natural for any gaps etc. Joan |

Wad up newspaper and then cut a sheet of florist styrofoam to fit the inside of the basket and wedge and hot glue it into place and cover with moss. Sahara or other dried flower foams and especially wet foam (Oasis) are often too delicate for large arrangements. You want the big sheets of styrofoam that are about 12" wide by 30" long and 2" thick they come in white and green. Stuff the newspaper wads in tightly. IF the basket has gaps, a lining of moss will conceal the mechanics. This technique really works. I was a florist for over 20 years and spent some time at a very large volumn silk only shop who used this technique on hundreds of large baskets and pots. |

Deputies seek help in identifying suspect in Ft. Pierce shooting
FT. PIERCE, Fla. - St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office is asking the public's help in identifying a suspect in an early Saturday morning shooting in Fort Pierce.
Around 1:40 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the 2700 block of Kingsley Drive in the Sheraton Plaza neighborhood ,where they found Jason Rainey, of Kingsley Drive, lying in the roadway, according to a media release.
Detectives were unable to learn from bystanders who had shot Rainey, 34, who was taken to a local hospital. No word on the severity of his injuries.
"It appeared he had been shot three times," St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said.
He asks anyone with information about the shooting to call 911 in St. Lucie County.
"If people want to report their tips anonymously, and be eligible for a cash reward if the tip leads to an arrest, they can call Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273-8477 (TIPS)," he said.

Colossus Mark 1 | ||
| EXIT | Colossus Mark 1| | ||
Introduction Only two years after assembing the racking, by 1996 the Rebuild Team was able to demonstrate the basic working functions of a Mark 1 Colossus, but only at a 2 bit level, out of the five parallel bits coming from the paper tape reader. However, this was achieved without the J or K racks being fully wired and so it took almost another three years to devise the circuits and complete the very complex wiring. Tony Sales writes "Now I turned to the paper tape reader and got that working on all five tracks, but not very reliably. So by 1999 we had repeated the 1996 results, but with signals now correctly routed through the switches on the J rack." Thus by late 1999 the rebuild more closely resembled an original machine. Towards the end of 1999, a sign above the rebuild declared "Colossus is Year 2000 Compliant"! |

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - There might be some question marks elsewhere on Ohio State's defense.
The line, however, is expected to be the source of a lot of answers.
With Joey Bosa, Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington and Michael Bennett up front and quality players behind them, the Buckeyes are hoping to erase the memory of a porous final few games to the 2013 season.
A new coach, Larry Johnson, who was a fixture on the Penn State staffs from 1996-2013, has taken over for Mike Vrabel with the line. He is following coach Urban Meyer's lead in stressing ball-hawking instead of reading and reacting.
So far during spring practice, leading up to the annual intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday, the Buckeyes seem to have embraced Johnson and the changes he's helping to integrate.

An article by Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator on the demonizing of conservatives reminds us of these lines from William F. Buckley's movement-launching book, God and Man at Yale, written when he was only 25 years old.
I believe that the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world. I further believe that the struggle between individualism and collectivism is the same struggle reproduced on another level.
He is right, with one important caveat. The answer to collectivism isn't really individualism, but rather personalism. Why? Alice von Hildebrand frequently reminds us of a saying of her husband's: "The truth doesn't lie between two errors, but above them."
Personalism is a philosophy that upholds the uniqueness and dignity of each and every individual, without losing sight of the essential "communitarian dimension" of the person.
The paradox is well-captured in well-known declaration of Vatican II: The person is the only creature created for his own sake and called to give himself in love to others.
As Dr. Crosby's series will teach us so well, John Paul's philosophical legacy can almost be summed up as an elaboration of this theme.
And truly the individual cannot escape the collectivists and still live in the freedom and personal dignity he desires. If he tries to resist on his own, he can only ever live comfortably to the extent he is allowed by the collectivists--to the extent they don't notice him (which means he must often foresake his faith and/or his moral convictions).
Collectivism and communism necessarily ignore, if not destroy, the individual dignity of the person. But a community of persons has an emergent property of strength that cannot be swept aside.
#1 - Dec. 9 at 12:55pm | quote
It is interesting to read these discussions on individualism and collectism having recently been tackling these notions from the perspective of cross-cultural psychology. Having just visited a "collectivist" society, Uganda, I have come away with great admiration for the "other-centered-ness" of collectivist Third World societies. South African psychologist Marie Wissing and her colleagues employ a neat shorthand to describe the collectivistic/individualistic differences in approaches to materialism and self-construal, which they define as "Giving" and "Outside-in" (collectivist) versus "Getting/Receiving" and "Inside-out" (individualist), respectively.
I think it is a worthwhile pursuit to look at the larger dimensions of collectivism and individualism, moving beyond economic theories to encompass the whole person and his relation to others.
By the by, can anyone point me in the direction of a non-Christian/non-believing personalist philosopher? I would very much like to introduce the idea of Personalism into the Positive Psychology movement (the study of what's strong, rather than what's wrong) but fear that my lovely humanist colleagues will starting plugging their ears when I start quoting Wojtyla, von Hildebrand et al.
Thanks. Helvi.
#2 - Dec. 11 at 12:24pm | quote
The moving novel Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe piqued my interest in the African philosophy of Ubuntu. I would love to see someone compare it to Christian personalism.
My glancing impressions lead me to think that we have much learn from their profound sense of group solidarity, even while we would have to criticize it for not doing full justice to the reality of the individual.
As for non-Christian personalists, have you come across Martin Buber's I and Thou?
I'm hoping to persuade a friend who has studied her very thoroughly to do a "personalist profile" of Simone Weil, but she might not fit your bill. She was Jewish, but also a Christian mystic.

Helvi Moore, Dec. 11 at 12:24pm
By the by, can anyone point me in the direction of a non-Christian/non-believing personalist philosopher?
Viktor Frankl, a Jewish psychologist, concentration camp survivor, and author of the beautiful bestseller, Man's Search for Meaning.
Also, though Catholic, perhaps Emmanuel Mounier would be more acceptable to your audience than Wojtylla and von Hildebrand. Mounier is considered the father of French personalism and is the author of Personalism.
#4 - Dec. 12 at 1:19pm | quote
When I first read Dr. Crosby's draft for our manifesto, I was a bit startled by this line:
Only Jews and Christians have the spiritual resources to acknowledge unconditional worth in all human persons.
But the more I reflected, the more convinced I became that he's right. The very concept of person is a fruit of the Christological controversies of the early Church. It's not surprising, therefore, that when we want a deep and full appreciation of the nature and dignity of persons, we have to turn to Jewish and Christian thinkers who are also men and women of profound religious faith.

Yes, ubuntu figured largely in my research proposal. My one question about it, though, is why those who come into power in African nation states seem to jettison the notion the minute they take over!
Yes, great: Buber is a perfect place to start. Simone Weil is another possibility but the Christian tag might be a stumbling block for my supervisor. You will be pleased to learn that Frankl is the poster boy for Positive Psychology exemplaries of eudaimonia. I have Alice von Hildebrand to thank for a first introduction to these great figures. What if I were to start with Max Scheler? What would be the pitfalls?

Yes, ubuntu figured largely in my research proposal. My one question about it, though, is why those who come into power in African nation states seem to jettison the notion the minute they take over!
I think--this is intuitive and speculative rather than informed--that the reason for this is hinted at in Things Fall Apart. A superficial interpretation of that story (in which the harmonious Igbo culture collapses in the encounter with the alien Christianity that begins to infiltrate it) sees Christianity and western colonialism as the villains of the story. But from another point of view we could say, I think, that it was the moral data of the Christian gospel, including its insistence on the irreducible uniqueness and dignity of each and every individual, that presented a fatal challenge to the then-reigning culture.
Being a Christian, I believe in faith that nothing good and worth preserving in that culture need be permanently lost. But unless it finds a way of coming to terms with those truths, I fear it's doomed to remain a kind of nostalgic dream, rather than a potent cultural force.
#7 - Dec. 12 at 3:14pm | quote
While Ubuntu is very pleasant sounding and acceptable to our Western sensibilities (yes, in spite of the fact that it is supposed to contrast with Western individualism), I fear that the emphasis on communalism there is still very exclusive, and the general dysfunction is many African societies stems from a preoccupation with local/tribal differences, a corruption of the emphasis on a strong community.
I think part of that susceptability has to do with the lack of some compelling higher force or justice to appeal too (unlike in Judeo/Christian traditions). Many different Libertarian ideas are based on societal pacts built on principles of non-aggression and the assumption that, since people can look out for themselves, they'll only ever look out for themselves and will never muddle in other people's business. But with no higher morality, there is no worry that, even if you get away with some evil in society, you'll still have to face an greater judgment. Responsibility and accountability only extend so far as your personal and physcial comfort. The natural compunctions against harshness or causing misery are subjuagted by more selfish, corporeal survival instincts.

It may just be transplant shock, give it a few more days and see if they start to perk up. Also, you may want to post this on the houseplant forum as, in spite of it's name , it's not a true lily. |

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Japanese publisher/developer Atlus is bringing dual versions of its popular title Demikids to America. Demikids: Light Version and Demikids: Dark Version, offshoots of the Shin Megami Tensei series, ship today and have long been favorites of Game Boy Advance players in Japan. The suggested retail price for each is $29.99.
The two games follow two 6th graders, Jin (Light Version) and Akira (Dark Version), as they defend their school from a demon horde. Their weapons? More demons, of course. Up to 350 demons can be collected, Pokémon-style. Eventually the action carries the pair all the way to another dimension where they must mix demon types to come up with the ultimate mini-monster.

Speed has been listed as a contributing factor in Montana crashes over 12,000 times from 2006 to 2010.
Speeding is often related to impairment: in the last five years (2006-2010), almost 60% of the speeding-related fatalities in Montana were also alcohol-related.
A review of Montana Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) data shows that speed is the most frequently addressed traffic violation. A total of 11,332 citations and warnings were issued for speed violations in FFY 2011, directly as a result of STEP.
Our Goals
- Reduce number of speeding-related fatalities to 85 by 2013.
- Reduce speeding-related fatal crashes to 35% by 2013.

The Chamber of Commerce presented the annual Citizen of the Year award to the Carnegie Fire Department on Monday night, recognizing their service to the community during the last year. The B.W. Jolly Citizenship Award was presented to two individuals, P.K. Hurt and Kelly Williams, to recognize their role in the community over the course of several years. Jon Hansen, who was the assistant fire chief of Oklahoma City in 1995 when the Murrah Building was bombed, spoke to the audience in the keynote address. We would like to thank everyone who attended the event and has helped support the Chamber of Commerce over the years.
Annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet Monday
The chamber's annual banquet will be held Monday, January 16 at 6:30 PM at the elementary school's Multi-Purpose Building. Tickets are available the door. This year, the chamber is honoring the Carnegie Fire Department for
their tremendous service and sacrifice throughout the past year. 2011 broke every record on the book, from record heat to record drought, and with them came a record number of wildfires. The chamber unanimously voted to present the Citizen of the Year Award to the 19 volunteer members of the Carnegie Fire Department.
The featured speaker at the banquet is John Hansen, who served as the assistant fire chief of Oklahoma City in 1995, when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was destroyed by a bomb. Few in Oklahoma can forget that fateful day when so many Oklahomans were killed. He will share his experiences in the aftermath of that day, as well as his life as a firefighter and later as fire chief of Oklahoma City.
The event will also honor this year's winner of the B.W. Jolly Annual Citizenship Award, which recognizes those individuals in the town that have given many years of service to their community.
Chamber of Commerce meets this Monday at noon
The Carnegie Chamber of Commerce will meet on Monday at noon for their monthly luncheon. Everyone is welcome to attend the meal, which is held at the Carnegie Hospital cafeteria.

For those that watched the video, did Herman goose that lady in the red top? Old habits die hard. But more importantly , is there any significance to be gleaned from the fact … Read more

I have a big box store come to give me an estimate for insulation. They tell me after measuring that they don't remove the old insulation (which I want) they don't install batt (which I want) nor do they insulate into the area of the attic where my vaulted ceiling is. Wouldn't I need insulation there? There would be nothing but air between my ceiling in the living area and my roof? Note: the insulation area would be for the flat portions in the attic, approx 1200sf or half of the home sf. They will seal the lights and around the bath vents and also make sure there is proper venting in the eaves etc
House was built with rock roof and we put new roof that lasted only 15 years, hence recent new roof 2 yrs ago. The attic has a heavy duty aluminum radiant barrier most of which is coming down due to debris from old roofing jobs. I had NO IDEA (dumb me) what this was for and neither did the guy that came to give the estimate. So he said I should pull all of them out before they would start blowing in the insulation. After MUCH searching online I find out this radiant barrier was installed to prevent most of the heat coming into the attic. I live in So Cal and my house faces north-south, south being exactly where the vaulted portion and no insulation is. To the roofers credit, he did suggest and we did install 3 dormer vents but at this point I am not sure if they have helped. We already have gable vents on each side. The garage opens directly into the attic and has a dropped ceiling with new insulation and an auto fan in the gable vent there. Garage is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than rest of the house. Of course, this is DH's domain, LOL. So now I am left with wondering what to do next. I don't want blown in insulation. I get conflicting information about removing old insulation and now I feel like I need to replace all the radiant barrier to keep my house cool in the summer. I don't want auto gable fans or turbines due to noise, it will drive me nuts. I am mostly venting now in this last paragraph, because no matter what I do to research contractors ie. BBB, friends etc, no one seems to take pride in what they do or have concern for the job once the money is in their hand. I am afraid to hire anyone anymore for anything. I could just sit here and cry I am so frustrated. I know home ownership comes with maintenance but I feel like I am spinning my wheels on things that should not have to be done over in such a short period of time. Even my HVAC guy installed my furnace & AC improperly and I just find out after 6 years. Sigh........ |

the only way to install batts over batts is if the second layer were unfaced. you don't install two vapor barriers in the same building assembly. can't push batts into cathedral ceiling, if cathedral follows roof line. (is this ceiling vaulted into attic insulation shouldn't be in contact with radiant barrier fix radiant barrier, air seal between living and attic space then blow over batts. call insulation companies, get several bids. best of luck. |

It will be really difficult to install insulation above a vaulted area, even blown in. Your best bet would be to turn the attic into an unvented one and use foam over the vault and to create a seal and insulate on the roofline, not the floor/ceiling plane. It won't be the cheapest choice, but it will make the home much more comfortable and energy efficient. |

take both energy and Greens advice but definitely call an insulation company. Never call a box store for installation of things like building materials as you already see what happens. Also even though you say you have gable vents if your roof is shot after 15 yrs you may have a ventilation issue which a insulation company can also help with. |
Thanks for all the help guys. We had the big box store come out on a whim just to get an idea of the cost and sq ft that would be needed in case we decided to add insulation ourselves. We were NOT wanting to have them put new insulation on top of the old since is was full of dirt and debris regardless if it were blown in or batt. We have unfaced insulation on the attic floor, not sure what the vertical install on the outside walls are. We are taking the good advice given and will be looking into getting a reputable insulation company come to give an estimate soon. The gable vents were put in after the 15yr old roof failed so we are a little more optimistic that this recent roofing job will last longer than the last one. |
"vertical install on the outside walls are. " If these are the attic walls, they do not need any insulation. |

I smile every time I read the title cause it is a small rant. usually the rants are longer than the actual problem. I am curious about the insulation in if the former..exterior walls..you don't sorry its so confusing..but houses best of luck. |

Me and My Girl
This isn't the most lavish revival of a West End classic but there's no escaping the fact that this cheerfully daft story of thirties class distinction is still a clear winner, mainly thanks to its simple but engaging book and a collection of endearing songs.
Walt Spangler's set retains the intention of the original - a sort of country house in the style of an over-sized doll's house - but isn't helped by a meagre budget that leaves it looking rather flimsy.
The other cut-back appears to be in the casting and by the time you get to the celebrated Lambeth Walk, even some enthusiastic doubling up cannot hide the fact that there really aren't enough people on stage to made for a decent dinner party, let alone a full scale East End knees-up.
Nevertheless, director and chorographer Warren Carlyle presents a serviceable and thoroughly enjoyable revival that plays to the piece's strengths.
Richard Frame plays working class hero Bill Snibson completely for laughs, which robs the character of some of his potential for poignancy but goes down well with the audience.
Faye Tozer, however, looks like an actress who knows she's found her ideal role and is determined to make it entirely her own. There's a lovely lightness of touch about her performance and she's spot on in her big numbers, be it the cheerful, toe-tapping Take It on the Chin or the much more emotional Once You Lose Your Heart.
The rest of the main cast is made up of some dependable veterans - Trevor Bannister as the family drunk, Sylvester McCoy as the estate's solicitor and Dillie Keane as the redoubtable, matriarchal duchess, apparently enjoying her new-found status as a battleaxe.
It's bright and breezy and good fun throughout - and what more could you ask for in a musical?

Founded in 1836, Union is the oldest independent seminary in the nation
Student Affairs
Union Theological Seminary is located in New York City, New York, in the United States of America. Situated in the Morningside Heights neighborhood on the island of Manhattan, the Seminary's campus rests just above the Upper West Side, sharing a close access to both Riverside Park and Central Park, and adjacent to Harlem's culturally-rich and eclectic neighborhood. Union Theological Seminary's neighbors include the historic Riverside Church, the Interchurch Center, the Cathedral of Saint John of the Divine, the International House, Jewish Theological Seminary, Manhattan School of Music, and the general Ivy League campus of Columbia University.
Visit Union Theological Seminary
Morningside Heights was the site of the American Revolutionary War incident, the "Battle of Harlem Heights," fought on September 16, 1776. At the end of the 19th century, with the construction of the St. John of the Divine Cathedral and Columbia University's campus, the farmland of Morningside Heights turned into apartment buildings for the affluent. During the middle of the 20th century, the neighborhood experienced a socioeconomic shift, ushering in a middle-class demographic. Today, Morningside Heights is best known as a residential neighborhood, catering to the residents of the surrounding academic institutions.

Ducks to face Huskies in Seattle
My advance story for tonight's game focused on the four-guard lineup Oregon has used with some success. It worked well in the Ducks' last win, against UW in Eugene, and also in the near-upset of USC in Los Angeles a week later.
They were even able to use it at times against Cal last week.
And now, I better get on the road up to Seattle. More blogging when I get to the game …

Civil rights activists in NY protest voting rules
NEW YORK — Civil rights activists protested stricter voting laws Saturday with a march from the New York offices of Koch Industries, whose owners have supported an organization that favors tighter safeguards against election fraud.
"You can't accomplish anything if you're not prepared to fight," said U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, wearing a hat with embroidered with "NAACP." Rangel and other labor leaders and politicians said they wanted to roll back new voting rules passed in several states.
Some of the laws passed in more than a dozen states around the country include requiring photo IDs at the ballot box and restricting voting by ex-felons. Critics say the laws will have a negative effect on blacks, Latinos, students and the elderly.
"Voting rights are being challenged all across the United States," said Diane Sanders, 50, an organizer with 1199SEIU, the service employee's international union and one of the nation's largest unions. "People have died for the right to vote. We can't just sit by and let our rights be taken from us."
The group met and rallied among the tony Upper East Side buildings where Koch Industries has New York offices. The company is headquartered in Wichita, Kan. The protesters say Koch is directly responsible because it funded the political lobbying group that helped pass the laws.
Though Koch Industries is the oft-cited corporate sponsor of the lobby group behind the voting laws, and is one of its largest, there are others, including Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola and AT&T. Koch, owned by billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch, is one of the nation's largest privately held companies with business interests that include refining, chemicals and commodities trading.
"Koch has taken no position on the voter ID issue, which is why these groups are wrong and completely misguided in their false accusations," company spokesman Bill O'Reilly said in a statement.
Rangel, along with the Rev. Al Sharpton, and Hazel Dukes of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, locked arms and led the march on Madison Avenue south to a plaza near the United Nations in honor of U.N. Human Rights Day.
"Voting is a human right," said Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid. "And human rights are sacred rights."

The third hole at the Isle Of Purbeck golf club in the county of Dorset, England, is a modest par four of only 302 yards. There's not a level lie on the fairway, and the humpy, bumpy, firm ground cants sharply right to left, tumbling to a scrubland of thorny bushes. Here on this rugged course on the Purbeck downland, I've struck gold.
My companion is Howard Singleton, the club president and a man very much disposed to this course. I first saw him when I pulled into the club parking lot high on a hill overlooking the course; he was loading his clubs on a pullcart--or trolley, as the English say. As I soon learned, Howard preferred to carry his clubs but had started using the trolley three years ago as a concession to advancing age. Howard Singleton is ninety-six.
Howard loves his golf and takes it in doses of three or four rounds a week, walking, always walking. Howard is ninety-six, it's true, but he still gives the ball a solid thwack. Typically it carries about seventy yards in the air and then, thanks to the hard ground, bounds along another seventy yards or so. He plays briskly and, like me, swings right-handed and putts left-handed. "I see the line better," he tells me.
At the third tee we survey the prospect. Golf holes spread out all around and about us. Flags for the holes sway in the breezes carrying here from the English Channel. I can see forever, it seems, and golf green after golf green is visible, as are the fairways that snake and twirl and, sometimes, run straight as a ruler between the hills and mounds. Clearly this is superb golf country. I have always loved golf on firm ground with a fresh breeze as accompaniment. You can hit a far wider variety of shots because the possibility is always there of running the ball along the ground to your target rather than carrying it there through the air, the only choice available on most American courses.
Howard cracks his tee shot 130 yards down the sloped fairway. The ball bounds madly, then stops in an awkward spot in a bushy copse. No matter. Howard simply fits himself into a stance, then slaps his ball another 130 yards. Watching him, it occurs to me that he could not play many American courses, where water and massive sand traps often mark the passage from tee to green. Because the fairways and greens are accessible along the ground, not only through the air, the course allows players of all ages and abilities to get around. "I reckon I've walked twenty thousand miles here," Howard tells me.
His second shot finishes within twenty-five yards of the green. He then plays a pitch-and-run between two bunkers that flank the green and clips it perfectly off the turf. It's bouncing along, curving with the right-to-left slope of the ground. I think Howard's pitch-and-run has just the right look. It's wending its way toward its ultimate destination, hopping and skipping along, and it looks in all the way. Our senses can get so acute on a golf course, where we're out in the fresh air and scampering along. The great Johnny Miller once told me it's amazing that a golfer can hit a forty-foot putt and know immediately that it is going to come up one roll shy of the hole.

Hello everyone, so Phase gave me a call last week to let me know that his home grown Sweetheart Lychees were ready so I stopped by his house for a taste test and WOW! I couldn't believe it. His Sweetheart Lychees were just as large as the Sweetheart's we ordered from Lycheesonline.com but they were even sweeter, more fragrant and less astringent.
The Sweethearts that Phase grew smelled like a mixture or roses, honeysuckle and honey. They were super sweet with a strong honey like taste and they did not have that bitter taste, probably because I cut the rind off with a knife. Phase's tree was flushing and his current flush was beautiful with little or no burnt tips. I noticed that my Sweetheart lychee tree also had the best flush in Summer. |

Here are some more pictures of the lychee and some of his tree. |
Wow those really look fantastic. I have been debating with myself about trying grow a Lychee tree but have been hesitant to give it a try. Your lovely pictures just gave me a nudge towards getting one. Anyone have a variety recomendation for South Florida zone 10? |
mmmm those lychees look absolutely delicious. my Sweetheart was planted earlier this year, hoping for some fruit next year, |
I have not had good luck with Sweetheart Lychees. I've killed the first two plantings. I now have two in the ground that seem to have gotten over the risky initial growth period. Both bloomed this past year and one set three fruits. The birds got them though before I could try them. Your fruits look amazing and I have heard very good things about them. I am growing Emperor, Bengal, Ohia, Red Ohia, Mauritius, Brewster, Kaimana, Seymour, Bosworth, Bosworth 3 (Kwai Mai Pink), Hak Ip, Sweetheart, Farwell Farm, Emperor Seedling, Large Early Red, Garnet and Peerless. Of all the varieties that I have grown, my favorites are Kaimana and Garnet. |
hmhausman, do you grow lychee commercially? where are you located? i visited Pine Island not to long ago and they had several (maybe 5 different) air layerings of chinese named varieties of lychees that i never heard of, they had peerless, Groff, Late seedless and probably a few others i forget, but they are not listed on their website. the airlayerings are not established yet. |
I do sell lychees during the season. I have a roadside stand out front of my house. I got 1.5 acres of my home property qualified for an agricultural exemption. I also have lots of private customers that call me during the season. Take care |
Simon, Thanks for the wonderful pictures and the update on Phase's lychees...makes me wish the season wasn't so far away for us in FL! After seeing those pictures I really can't wait till I taste my first crop. I just hope we don't have another freeze! Congrats Phase...you did a great job!! They look so Yummy!! Boom, that's a nice Lychee tree you have there! Hmhausman...I wish you lived closer, would love to stop by your fruit stand next summer. |
Hi Simon, thanks for the complements for posing the pics. Sweetheart is really an exceptional variety. The ones that I gave to Simon are left on tree for very long, like 2-3 weeks after turning red fully. Later I picked some that had turned red fully for 1-2 weeks, and I found that they are actually sweeter. So now I believe that Lychees should not be left on the tree for too long, it might lose some flavor after passing the optimal point. I hope I can get more next year. My tree underwent a strong flush when the fruits were ripening. This is how it looks now. |
thanks pug. how are your trees now? Both your Brewster and sweetheart should be pretty big now. while the new flush of my tree is good, they always develop some burnt tip eventually. |
Phase, your tree is looking REALLY GOOD!! I hope I finally get to taste my Sweetheart next year...assuming we don't have another killer frost? Keep your fingers crossed for us. Thanks for asking...My lychees trees are growing considering all the trauma they went through last year,lol... Don't know if you saw my post from last June ...it turns out my "Brewster" is NOT a brewster after all. The fruits are way different. There is a very good chance its a Sweet Cliff? But, I am very happy with the taste and flavor...plus the size of the seeds are all chicken tongue so that's another plus. |
thanks Pug. I am wondering if I should prune my tree at this time. The new flush is stilling going thru the hardening process. And the timing seems to be in sync with a Jan/Feb flowering flush. If the purpose of pruning after fruits picked are 1) spur flush 2) sync with the flush in Jan/Feb, then it does not seem that I need to prune my tree at this time. Any expert suggestions? Thanks. |
Hey Phase, For what its worth...a few weeks after I picked the fruits of my "Sweet Cliff?", some of the branches of my tree started flushing (around end of June)and as per their recommendation of pruning around July 15th... I called Lycheesonline and asked if I should prune then, and he told me to just let it be since it was flushing...that it was doing what it needs to do. You can always call or drop Bill an email, he is very nice and helpful. |

swrancher, I personally like Sweetheart. Many people also like to plant Brewster but it is so common in the markets, I wouldn't bother planting it. There are a lot of people here that like Mauritius also. boom1, your tree looks beautiful and I don't see any burnt tips like we have here in San Diego. Keep us posted on your tree. hmhausman, do you have some pictures? I always wanted to get a Kaimana tree, I've never even heard of a Garnet before. Can you describe how your Kaimana taste? Did it have a large seed, was the fruit large? Hey Puglvr, hopefully you guys will get just enough cold to initiate flowering but not kill the blooms. If your tree didn't fruit last year, that give it that much more of an advantage this year. Hey Phase, thanks again for the taste test. Your tree is absolutely beautiful and I can't imagine how large its going to be in a couple more years. Hopefully, everyone's tree will flower and fruit this coming year! |

Phase/Simon- Fantastic! You're making me drool here. My sweethearts were pretty good, but those look wonderful! Great job with the pollination. Did the birds or squirrels give you any trouble? |
hi Pug, thanks for the info. guess I will leave my tree alone mostly. NTM, no we don't have squirrels here. they are kinda rare in California. I only saw them in the beach area. Birds also left the fruits alone. but they will find out about it sooner or later I am afraid. If that is the case, will zip-lock work? BTW my loquat tree is sending out flower spikes for the very first time so I am very happy gardener now! |
- Posted by north_tree_man PA - 7 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 4, 09 at 19:56
The tree is small enough that you'd be able to cover it with bird netting. Easy to find at home depot...it worked for me. |
simon grow: Kaimana is one of the largest fruited lychess that I have seen. I don't have any current pictures but could take some next year. The flavor is sweet, I would say flowery without the medicinal taste that some lychees, like Hak Ip have. The seeds are small but not all chicken tongues. BTW.....I see everyone posting these gorgeous pictures.......can I ask a real stupid question?? How does one post a picture? I feel like an idiot asking......but I don't see any instructions or place to upload. Can anyone help?? |

Hey Phase, my Loquat is flowering too, I have two huge trees at my old house that flowers every year. One of my tree produces large yellow fruit that is very sweet and not sour at all. The other tree produces a fruit that is orange/yellow and the fruit is much more tart. I don't recommend growing loquat from seeds because my friends grew some from seeds that I gave him and the fruit is very tart. You can take a cutting from my tree if like, just let me know. Hey hmhausman, thanks for the info, I think I will pick up a Kaimana for my next lychee tree. As to how to post pictures, follow these instructions that Phase posted: as to posting pics, use , where http://url_to_photo is the URL of the pic |
