Bake Day.... Cream cheese babka and sourdough...........
posted by: ann_t on 01.21.2008 at 04:56 pm in Cooking Forum Made a Biga last night and sourdough bread this morning. And then decided that while I was at it I might as well knead up a sweet dough too. Made a round cream cheese Babka and a long one, shaped like the cream cheese danish.
Two loaves and two small baguettes. We had one of the small baguettes with homemade turkey noodle soup for lunch. Lots of holes. Dessert was a slice of the Babka. NOTES: <none>

RE: can I plant freesias now? (Follow-Up #3)
posted by: kaoru on 03.27.2008 at 02:21 pm in Bulbs Forum I just potted up some freesias and used the following instructions.
Indoor Forcing 1. Fill your containers with good quality, well-drained soil. Almost any commercially available potting medium will work fine. Make sure there are adequate drainage holes; freesia must never sit in waterlogged soil or they will rot. 2. Site your containers on a sunny windowsill - the sunnier, the better. When grown indoors, freesia often don't get as much light as they'd like and so they tend to flop a bit. We recommend using support rings or stakes in all but greenhouse situations. 3. Plant your freesia 2 deep and 1 apart for the most brilliant display. The bulbs look like small, slim onions. Plant them with the pointed end facing up. 4. After planting, water freesia well, until water comes out of your container's drainage holes. Sprouts will show in a few weeks with leaves and buds following shortly thereafter. 5. When in bloom, the flowering period can be prolonged by placing the potted freesia in a cool room. Flowers may also be snipped for use in a vase. Water plants as needed to keep soil lightly moist. 6. After flowering has finished, freesia plants may be transplanted to outdoor gardens in zones 9-11. In colder areas it's difficult to coax a rebloom. Most gardeners savor the graceful blossoms and their intoxicating fragrance for a single season. Think of freesia as the horticultural equivalent of fine chocolates - while they don't ever last long enough, but they're still delicious. Quantity tips: Bit of Horticultural Geometry Freesias stems have the unusual habit of turning at right angles just below the bottom flower. This causes the upper portion of the stem to grow almost parallel with the ground. The flowers bloom along the top side of the stalk, which makes them lovely to look down into in a garden setting and ideal for arrangements. NOTES: <none>

RE: What foods do you dehydrate? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: grainlady on 08.30.2014 at 08:41 am in Cooking Forum The dehydrator is my main source for preserving food these days since it's so cost effective. I teach dehydrating classes several times a year, and the trick is to learn how to safely prepare, store and use it in a timely manner.
-APPLES If you don't have an apple peeler, slicer, corer machine, at least get a cutter that cores and cuts the apple into 8 slices. You can cut each section into 3 slices with a paring knife, and this one gadget will save time. If you are terribly frugal (like me), save your apple cores and peelings, if you remove them, and use them to make apple jelly. Another option is to use a cutting mandolin(e) - spelled both ways) and slice the apples from the top to the bottom - whole - to make apple rings. You will have a nice "star' in the center of the slice where the seeds were. Don't bother removing any seeds that stick to the apple slices, they usually fall out during dehydrating. Occasionally I will use a toothpick and poke any remaining seeds out of a slice once they are done. As with all foods you dehydrate, place like-sized pieces together so they dehydrate in approx. the same amount of time. Try not to mix small, med., and large pieces. The small pieces will tend to get over-dried, while the large pieces may be under-dried. When you dry bananas, for instance, place the smaller end pieces on one tray, or on one half of a tray, the larger pieces on another tray, or the other half of the tray. I have a banana slicer (check amazon.com for a couple styles) which makes quick work of slicing a banana; and as with all foods you dehydrate, having an even thickness works best. That's why a cutting mandolin is a dehydrator's best friend. You can adjust the thickness for thin slices for those zucchini chips and potatoes, but you also get slices that are the same thickness for even drying. -CRANBERRIES (I buy them after the holidays when they drastically cut the price.) FYI - You need to drop cranberries (and blueberries) in boiling water for 30 seconds to split the skins in order to properly dehydrate them. You can also use a honey dip for the cranberries, before dehydrating, for added sweetness, but it's not necessary. -CANDIED FRUIT (used in fruitcake) -DRIED LEMON AND ORANGE PEEL You don't say what brand of dehydrator you have, but if it happens to be a Nesco American Harvest, I suggest investing in some Clean-A-Screen sheets for drying sticky fruits like pears and pineapple, as well as using for small items that would fall through the regular trays. I use the fruit leather sheets a lot for both fruit and vegetable leather. Fruit leather is a good use for less-than-perfect ripe fruit and fruit blends. They freeze well (vacuum-sealed in a bag) and have other uses besides snacks. Fruit leather can be used to make a fruit sauce (just add a little water or fruit juice and heat over low heat). Add a fruit roll up (cut into smaller pieces) to applesauce made with dried apples for a new flavor. We especially like peach or apricot applesauce. Vegetable leather (mixed vegetable, tomato or tomato sauce) can be added to soup. LENTIL SOUP PACKETS -SWEET POTATO POWDER: Cook sweet potatoes (bake or boil - your choice) and mash (do NOT add any milk, butter or seasonings). Spread as thin as possible - I use a small offset stainless steel spatula) onto the fruit leather sheets and dehydrate until they are set enough to peel off the sheets. Place the sheet of sweet potatoes back onto the regular drying tray and finish drying until crispy dry. Allow to cool to room temperature and store in a glass canning jar with a lid. To make INSTANT mashed sweet potatoes, pulverize the sweet potatoes in a blender until it is a powder. Place the powder in a bowl and add hot water to the powder and mix until it is the consistency you want. Add butter and seasonings to taste. -I sprout a lot of lentils and use them in all kinds of recipes. I always sprout more than I can use and I dehydrate the leftovers. Sprouting increases the nutrition and now they cook even faster. You can dehydrate all sprouts. SPROUTED LENTIL SNACKS: I sprinkle the sprouted lentils with A seasoning mixture and a little salt (optional) and dehydrate them on the Clean-A-Screen sheets and use them for snack food. Go easy on the seasonings with nearly everything you dehydrate because the foods reduce in size when dehydrated and the seasonings intensify if you added too much. We like Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Southwest Chipotle and Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Fiesta Lime seasoning blends. We use the Southwest Chipotle on zucchini chips. For that bbq chip flavor, use McCormick Grill Mates Barbecue seasoning (a little goes a LONG way - so use a light hand when sprinkling this seasoning). -SOAKED AND DEHYDRATED NUTS: Nuts are easier to digest, the nutrients more readily available, and they will keep longer if you first soak them in lightly-salted water 8-12 hours, then dehydrate them until they are crispy dry. (Source: "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon) I soak and dehydrate: pecans, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and skinless raw peanuts. If you like sugared pecans, this is a great way to make them in a dehydrator. (source: http://savoringtoday.com/2011/01/20/sweetly-spiced-crispy-pecans/ - with my changes) SWEETLY SPICED CRISPY PECANS Mix together: Soak pecans in a large bowl with filtered water and salt for 8-12 hours. Pour off water and allow to drain well (in a strainer/sieve), 5-10 minutes. [My variation to the recipe: Place the drained pecans back into a large bowl and add the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Mix well. The original recipe has you do it in 2 batches, which is unnecessary in my opinion.] Arrange on dehydrator trays (in a single layer). Dry at 150-degrees F for 16-18 hours, or until pecans are crisp. [Grainlady note: I start them at 145-degrees F for 1-hour, then turn the dehydrator down to 135-degrees F until crispy dry. I think 150-degrees is too hot and the pecans "bake" instead of dehydrate at that high temperature.) In order to test a pecan, allow it to completely cool before snapping it in two with your fingers to see how crispy it is, then do a taste test. (Start checking after 8-hours.) I use these pecans for snacking, topping fruit, added to granola and baked goods..... CHERRY-PECAN GRANOLA Mix: 3 T. coconut oil (melted), 2 T. warm honey and mix it into the oat/pecan mixture and place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a 400-degrees oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the oats are nicely toasted, stirring once after 5-minutes. Cool to room temperature and add 1 c. dried sweet cherries. Makes approx. 4-cups. -FROZEN VEGETABLES: When I find a great bargain on frozen vegetables, and don't have room for them in my refrigerator freezer, I'll dehydrate them. The nice thing about frozen vegetables is that they have already been through a heat process, so you don't have to steam or water blanch them. They go directly into the dehydrator. -I absolutely love DEHYDRATED KALE!!! (or other greens) It's so easy to add to all kinds of things (meatloaf, soup, casseroles, pasta sauce, sloppy joes). Treat it like you would dried parsley. -DEHYDRATED TOMATOES - It's amazing how many dehydrated tomatoes can go into a quart jar!!! Remove the skins using the boiling water treatment, but don't toss them in the trash or compost, you can dehydrate the skins and use them to make tomato powder. Tomato powder + water + tomato paste or tomato sauce. Place the tomato skins in a single layer on a drying tray and dry at 125-130-degrees F. They dry quickly. Once they are crispy dry, place them in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. When you need to make tomato powder, place the dehydrated tomato skins in a coffee/spice mill to purverize into a powder. Use: 1:1 ratio with water for tomato paste and 1:2 ratio for tomato sauce (or thickness you like). DO NOT make into a powder until needed. Because there won't be any ingredients in the powder to keep it free-flowing, it will become a compact "brick" of tomato powder. You can make a quick pizza sauce with tomato powder, water, small amount of sweetener and vinegar, pinch of salt (optional) and pizza or Italian seasonings. I also add a little coconut oil or olive oil (optional). -Dehydrated "cereal" using almond pulp from making homemade almond milk. I use a lot of "raw foods" recipes that utilize the dehydrator. That's enough for now.... Be sure to check out the information found at the National Center for Home Food Preservation link below if you haven't already found it. There are new food safety guidelines for preparing dehydrated food you may not be familiar with. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: NCHFP - How to Dry NOTES: <none>

Up till now one may have carefully staked these tall but slender plants and hopefully they haven't encountered hail or extra heavy rains and wind. Here is one of our "Splendide" in full sun as of today: Here is another in the back which gets dappled: (each of the above plants are well over 8 feet in height including flowers) and here is a "Hewitt's Double" which has grown up into a "Lilac". I would love to see pictures of your now blooming tall Thalictrum. NOTES: <none>

Annie's Salsa Recipe and Notes 2012
posted by: malna on 07.21.2012 at 02:36 pm in Harvest Forum Since it's salsa season, I thought I would post some additional notes I've made since the 2009 thread.
As far as I can tell, the NCHFP hasn't done any additional testing, so I am "assuming" this is the most current recipe and acidity requirements. Please feel free to add any other notes - I've tried to address most of the other commonly asked questions. Annie's Salsa Recipe 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained
Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Pour into hot pint jars, seal and process in a boiling water canning bath for 15 minutes. Makes about 6 pints. Additional Notes for Ingredients and Processing: 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained
2-1/2 cups onion, chopped
1-1/2 cups green pepper, chopped
3 - 5 jalapenos, chopped **Pepper Notes: Any combination of green, red, whatever color peppers is fine. 3-5 jalapenos equates to roughly 1/4 cup, so total peppers cannot exceed 1-3/4 cups. For a spicier salsa, you can decrease the sweet peppers and increase the hot peppers by the same amount. Or you can use hotter peppers (such as habaneros or serranos) but the TOTAL amount of peppers cannot exceed 1-3/4 cups. 6 cloves garlic, minced or finely diced
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (same measurement as 1/8 cup) canning salt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup 5% apple cider vinegar
2 cups (16 oz.) tomato sauce
2 cups (16 oz.) tomato paste
Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Pour into hot pint jars leaving 1/2" headspace, seal and process in a boiling water canning bath for 15 minutes. Adjust for your altitude (see below). Makes about 6-7 pints (I always seem to get 7 pints). JAR SIZES:
If you wish to pressure can the salsa, you must include full 1 cup of vinegar. Processing time that is currently used by some is 10 lbs. pressure for 30 minutes. Adjust for your altitude (see below). DENSITY:
The salsa should be thin enough for the liquid portion to thoroughly suspend the chopped vegetables so the very center of the jar heats up to the same temperature as the outer portion next to the glass during processing. If you want it thicker, puree it AFTER you open the jar. DO NOT puree before processing - this would affect the density. Or add a thickener such as Clear Jel or cornstarch AFTER you open the jar.
ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENTS: If you live above 1000' in elevation, you need to calculate your altitude adjustments for both boiling water bath (BWB) and pressure canning (PC). As your altitude goes above 1000 feet the atmospheric pressure is reduced. This causes water to boil at temperatures lower than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. For safety in water bath canning, you must bring the contents of your jar to at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit. To compensate for the lower boiling temperature at altitude, you must increase processing time. For this salsa recipe, BWB times at altitudes of (per the Ball Blue Book): Up to 1000 ft. Processing time is 15 minutes.
Adjustments for pressure canning can be found in the Ball Blue Book or on their website. Do make sure you know the altitude where you do your canning. People that live in Denver know they are in the Mile High City and have to make adjustments, but portions of cities like Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Oklahoma City are all above 1000' and it may be something you're not aware of and need to be compensating for. WHY DO I HAVE TO USE BOTTLED LEMON JUICE???? The pH scale runs from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). Each increment from 0 to 14 is 10 times more acidic/alkaline (remember the "magic" number of pH 4.6 for BWB vs. pressure canning). pH testing on fresh lemons ranged from 2.20 to 3.20, so one variety of lemon or even an individual lemon grown in a different orchard might be 10 times LESS acidic than another. Bottled lemon juice, which is processed to a standard acidity, is used for testing in recipes and is also pasteurized, therefore it also will not create any further enzyme reactions in your canned goods (per the folks at ReaLemon a couple of years ago). Note: Bottled lemon or lime juices are only called for when canning borderline pH foods (tomatoes and salsa usually). If you are making jams and jellies with high acid fruits (any fruit excluding Asian pears, bananas, mangoes, figs and melons), feel free to use fresh lemon or lime juice. Do I personally like using bottled lemon juice? Not particularly, but when a canning procedure SPECIFICALLY CALLS FOR IT, I use it without questioning it. A very good explanation is in this publication from North Dakota State University - "Why add lemon juice to tomatoes and salsa before canning?" Especially note the different pH values of individual varieties of tomatoes (and there are thousands more varieties). and for the more science oriented, this 2004 paper from the NCHFP: Studies on safe acidification of salsa for home boiling water canning Hope this helps :-) NOTES: <none>

Lemon Drop Uses
posted by: TomT226 on 07.25.2014 at 02:24 pm in Hot Pepper Forum I've got so many, that I've been experimenting.
Spicy Pesto: Buzz up a cup of EVOO and a dozen Lemon Drops and keep that handy. When you make Pesto, substitute some of the EVOO you use to emulsify the mixture with some of the Lemon Drop oil. Really gives a boost and a kick. Spicy Tzaziki Sauce. Buzz up some Lemon Drops with some fresh lemon juice and add a couple of tablespoons to your Tzaziki sauce. I make mine with yogurt, shredded cuke, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Rocks. Lemon Drop vinaigrette: Use the lemon or the oil mixture in making vinaigrettes. A fresh tomato vinaigrette with the Lemon Drop oil is great.... NOTES: <none>

RE: Souvenir de la Malmaison, this is true love (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: michaelg on 09.12.2013 at 03:59 pm in Antique Roses Forum She should be a great performer in your climate as well. Next you need to get the SdlM sports 'Mme. Cornelissen' and 'Kronprinzessin Viktoria'. They are similar plants to Malmaison but with different flower form and slightly different color. There are deeper pink relatives that are maybe not quite as good, but worth planting. I have 'Capitaine Dyel de Graville'. Also in the USA we have a version of SdlM that holds up better in cool rain--'Mystic Beauty'. 'Souvenir de St. Annes' is a semi-double version with strong spice fragrance.

A White Lady
posted by: jerijen on 07.19.2014 at 04:10 pm in Antique Roses Forum I think everyone loves the beautiful "Sweetheart Rose: -- 'Mlle. Cecile Brunner.' I wanted to grow the bush form, which blooms pretty much continuously -- but then, I ran across a plant of 'White Cecile Brunner.'
I'd looked for this white sport of 'Mlle Cecile Brunner' for a long time, and thought I'd never find one. It's exactly the same as the original, but it blooms a creamy white, shaded buff. I have mine in a terra cotta pot of medium size, and it really can't stay there much longer. Right now, though, it's very happy, and just coming into a big flush of bloom. 'White Cecile Brunner' isn't widely available in the U.S., but you can order it from Burlington Rose Nursery, or Rogue Valley Roses, or Greenmantle. Trust me -- it's a great rose for our mild-climate gardens. NOTES: <none>

I am not much of an expert but I can give a little insight on one rose I have in shade. I am growing Red Moss/Henri Martin - it's an old moss rose. It has big double blooms that are pink/red depending on your location. It's doing very well in part shade and I'm in a colder zone than you. Not sure how you feel about the older roses but it's doing very well for me so far. Hardly can tell it's new aside from it's small size. Also - Heirloom Roses has a wonderful selection and really great searching options! Here are all Austin's that tolerate shade for your zone!

'Cabbage' roses are listed under the class name Centifolia, which translates to "100 leaves" What we now call a petal was long ago called a "leaf". hortico.com sells Centifolia Muscosa, which is the original Cabbage Rose. it has been grown since the 1700's, and probably earlier. It produces one bloom cycle each year, here it blooms in June. This is the exquisite pink rose that is used in making jams and preserves in India, among other places. It has a distinct scent, with a high note that reminds me of an expensive rose cologne. There is no other rose like it, plus it has pretty foliage. I'd grow an entire row of them if I had room.

Please teach me how to grow roses in pots
posted by: vettin on 06.01.2014 at 01:33 pm in Antique Roses Forum The roses planted in the ground are doing very well thanks to the advice that I have received here in the last few years.
I would now like to try growing roses in pots. The big caveat is that I do not have space to move them inside in the winter and I am in zone 6b. I know there are others in colder zones who successfully do this. I have likely asked this before but cannot find the thread... Any good threads I should start with? I am sure I missed other important questions, so any and all advice would be appreciated. Thank you! NOTES: <none>

RE: An Orchid on Every Tree (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: epiphyte78 on 03.10.2013 at 08:24 am in California Gardening Forum hosenemesis, epiphytes occur in habitats that range from dripping wet rain forests to near deserts. Personally, my interest is in the most drought tolerant epiphytes...especially orchids. Here's a list of some that are relatively drought tolerant...
Ansellia africana Like I mentioned, it's safer to mount these orchids without any moss and it's essential that they be very very securely attached. Right now here in inland So Cal...many of these are just starting to put out new roots. So from now until around June is a perfect time to attach them to trees. In terms of host suitability...most trees should be perfectly fine...with natives being the exception. I do know of several people growing Laelia anceps and other Mexican Laelias on our native oaks with no problem. But I wouldn't recommend it though. Here's a Pepper Tree covered in epiphytes. In terms of watering frequency...during the coldest days of winter I water first thing in the morning once every 10 or so days. During the very hottest days of summer I'll try and water my Cedar tree every night. In my desert garden area I'm establishing CAM orchids and Tillandsias on Pony Tail Palms, Madagascar Palms and Mexican Palo Verdes. I even attached an orchid to Kalanchoe beharensis and one on a giant Echeveria gibbiflora. Because these are all drought tolerant epiphytes...I stop watering around September and don't start until around May/June. The first year you attach orchids you'll want to water somewhat more frequently until they establish a good root system on the bark...perhaps 3-4 times per week at night. Once they are established...then they can be watered around twice a week at night during the hottest days. Here are a few photos that might be of interest... Oncidium/Zelenkoa onustum growing on a cactus (additional photos) Here's a photo of a Mexican Laelia growing on a Yucca... It's a perfect example of a good root system. Unlike Tillandsias, epiphytic orchids are all about the roots. You can see, however, that the base of the Yucca has rotted out. It didn't really seem to phase the Yucca though as it's still growing quite vigorously. The photo was taken at the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate which is a stone's throw away from the ocean. Here are some epiphytes on a Pony Tail Palm in a private garden here in LA... For some additional info...here's a thread I posted about CAM orchids. Suzi, honestly I have no idea what my PSI is. My water pressure is decent...it's not a fire hose but nor is it a trickle. Basically I just attach the hose to 1/2" polytube which runs to the base of the tree...where it attaches to 1/4" polytube that runs up the tree. There are probably around 20 drip emitters at various strategic locations on the tree. NOTES: <none>

An Orchid on Every Tree
posted by: epiphyte78 on 03.08.2013 at 05:55 am in California Gardening Forum When I drive around Los Angeles I see way too many naked trees. Naked trees should be the exception, rather than the rule. So let's get puritanical!
Adorning your trees with epiphytes and other plants is pretty much the funnest thing. It's kinda like attaching ornaments to a Christmas Tree...but 100x more awesome. That's because the ornaments are living and far more fascinating than ordinary ornaments. Here are a few photos of my Cedar Tree... How many different plants can you grow on your trees? Perhaps it would be easier to list the plants that you can't grow epiphytically. So far I haven't had much success with Sanseverias. And the common parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans) didn't make it either...probably because I let it go too long without water. There are probably a couple other plants that you can't grow on a tree. If you want to make watering super easy...you just run a quarter inch polytube drip line up your tree... Many orchids and most Tillandsias can be attached directly to the tree. In fact, with CAM orchids it's safer not to include any medium when you attach them to the tree. That way you'll decrease the chance of rot during the winter. The important thing to remember when attaching an orchid to a tree is that the orchid must be very very tightly attached. I use a slip knot method to ensure that I don't lose any tension when tying the knot. If it's not securely attached then the new roots will break off if it has any room to wiggle. Most other plants though will require some sort of medium...moss being the most common. For more information check out this thread I posted on mounting mediums. Vertical landscaping isn't without its challenges though... ....but the rewards far exceed the drawbacks...especially if you've run out of horizontal space. Even if you don't have space for a full sized tree...you can still attach dozens of miniature epiphytes to bonsai trees... Let me know if you have any questions or complaints. If you've already adorned some of your trees...I'd certainly love to see your photos. For additional inspiration...here's a group I created on flickr for orchids on trees. NOTES: <none>

RE: how big should the pot be? (Follow-Up #13)
posted by: tapla on 06.03.2014 at 08:58 pm in House Plants Forum Roksee - Potting up, instead of repotting, ensures your plant has no chance to ever grow to its potential. Instead of potting up, learn how to properly maintain your scheff's root system. Repotting (for scheffs) includes a complete change of soil (hopefully to one that allows you to water correctly) and removal of larger useless roots as well as potentially problematic roots. A well-maintained root system will be 90% fine roots and 10% heavy roots, all radiating from the basal flair.
These are some things I wrote about pot size and repotting vs potting up - in case you're interested. Choosing an Appropriate Size Container How large a container 'can' or 'should' be, depends on the relationship between the mass of the plant material you are working with and your choice of soil. We often concern ourselves with "over-potting" (using a container that is too large), but "over-potting" is a term that arises from a lack of a basic understanding about the relationship we will look at, which logically determines appropriate container size. It's often parroted that you should only move up one container size when "potting-up". The reasoning is, that when potting up to a container more than one size larger, the soil will remain wet too long and cause root rot issues, but it is the size/mass of the plant material you are working with, and the physical properties of the soil you choose that determines both the upper & lower limits of appropriate container size - not a formulaic upward progression of container sizes. In many cases, after root pruning a plant, it may even be appropriate to step down a container size or two, but as you will see, that also depends on the physical properties of the soil you choose. It's not uncommon for me, after a repot/root-pruning to pot in containers as small as 1/5 the size as that which the plant had been growing in prior to the work. Plants grown in 'slow' (slow-draining/water-retentive) soils need to be grown in containers with smaller soil volumes so that the plant can use water quickly, allowing air to return to the soil before root issues beyond impaired root function/metabolism become a limiting factor. We know that the anaerobic (airless) conditions that accompany soggy soils quickly kill fine roots and impair root function/metabolism. We also know smaller soil volumes and the root constriction that accompany them cause plants to both extend branches and gain o/a mass much more slowly - a bane if rapid growth is the goal - a boon if growth restriction and a compact plant are what you have your sights set on. Conversely, rampant growth can be had by growing in very large containers and in very fast soils where frequent watering and fertilizing is required - so it's not that plants rebel at being potted into very large containers per se, but rather, they rebel at being potted into very large containers with a soil that is too slow and water-retentive. This is a key point. We know that there is an inverse relationship between soil particle size and the height of the perched water table (PWT) in containers. As particle size increases, the height of the PWT decreases, until at about a particle size of just under 1/8 inch, soils will no longer hold perched water. If there is no perched water, the soil is ALWAYS well aerated, even when the soil is at container capacity (fully saturated). So, if you aim for a soil (like the gritty mix) composed primarily of particles larger than 1/16", there is no upper limit to container size, other than what you can practically manage. The lower size limit will be determined by the soil volume's ability to allow room for roots to 'run' and to furnish water enough to sustain the plant between irrigations. Bearing heavily on this ability is the ratio of fine roots to coarse roots. It takes a minimum amount of fine rootage to support the canopy under high water demand. If the container is full of large roots, there may not be room for a sufficient volume of the fine roots that do all the water/nutrient delivery work and the coarse roots, too. You can grow a very large plant in a very small container if the roots have been well managed and the lion's share of the rootage is fine. You can also grow very small plants, even seedlings, in very large containers if the soil is fast (free-draining and well-aerated) enough that the soil holds no, or very little perched water. I have just offered clear illustration why the oft repeated advice to 'resist pottting up more than one pot size at a time', only applies when using heavy, water-retentive soils. Those using well-aerated soils are not bound by the same restrictions. As the ht and volume of the perched water table are reduced, the potential for negative effects associated with over-potting are diminished in a direct relationship with the reduction - up to the point at which the soil holds no (or an insignificant amount) of perched water and over-potting pretty much becomes a non-issue. ****************************************************************** Repotting vs Potting Up I often explain the effects of repotting vs potting up like this: Let's rate growth/vitality potential on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best. We're going to say that trees in containers can only achieve a 9. Lets also imagine that for every year a tree goes w/o repotting or potting up, its measure of growth/vitality slips by 1 number, That is to say you pot a tree and the first year it grows at a level of 9, the next year, an 8, the next year a 7. Lets also imagine we're going to go 3 years between repotting or potting up. Here's what happens to the tree you repot/root prune: year 1: 9 You can see that a full repotting and root pruning returns the plant to its full potential within the limits of other cultural influences for as long as you care to repot/root prune. Looking now at how woody plants respond to only potting up: This is a fairly accurate illustration of the influence tight roots have on a woody plant's growth/vitality. You might think of it for a moment in the context of the longevity of bonsai trees vs the life expectancy of most trees grown as houseplants, the difference between 4 years and 400 years lying primarily in how the roots are treated.

RE: New to mini roses...need help with container (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: majenta on 02.06.2010 at 02:41 pm in Miniature Roses Forum Karen, since nobody has answered you yet, I will tell you what I do with my miniatures. Just to let you know I'm not an authority on the subject, as I'm quite sure there are lots of opinions and ways to grow them in containers.
When I purchase a miniature rose it is usually in a 3-4 inch pot which will dry out very quickly so the first thing I do is to pot it up into a one gallon container ( I have lots of these from purchasing other plants) and leave it in the one gallon pot until it has a really good root system. It's easy to tell how much root there is by checking the holes in the bottom of the pot. Once I feel the roots have filled (or almost) the pot, I then plant it up again into a larger container-probably at least double the size. I like a large display in my pots and since my climate is such that we have a shorter growing season, I mostly put three to a large container. The miniatures seem to like the company and so far mine have done very well for me. When I pot the rose I put about one-third good potting mix (pro-mix is my favourite) and add a handful of my own organic mix ( alfalfa, kelp meal, bone meal, blood meal etc) and then top up the pot with more good potting mix. I then plant the miniature using about one tablespoon bonemeal - super phosphate would do as well. I water the new planting in very well to make sure the potting mix comes into close contact with the roots, and just watch and water as necessary for at least 2-3 weeks. I really like a slow release fertilizer on my pots as I truly believe otherwise it's feast or famine. Since the pots need a lot of water, fertilizer is leached through quite quickly. Once the roots find the nice little meal of organics, they seem to jump out of the pot. I like to pamper my mini's and throughout the growing season, I treat them to a liquid fertilizer ( fish is good or 20-20-20 ) occasionally, and if the leaves are looking a little pale in colour I will treat them to a little iron chelate. I also mulch the top of the pots to help keep them from drying out. If you find the pots dry out too quickly, a neat trick is to use a double pot - a smaller pot inside a larger one with peat or something else between the pots to act as insulation. I think when growing plants in containers, the secret is to never let them dry out. You may not kill the rose, but it will pout for a long time. I hope this helps. NOTES: <none>

NOTE : The text may be edited and shortened a bit and it's not final. It will be on my web-site after it's edited. Tips for planting and growing Miniature Roses # 1 : When buying NEW minis, which come out of the greenhouse. "Do not" expose them to direct sunlight right away as you may burn the foliage. # 2 : Planting. (Canada and northern States) I first transplant mine into one gallon pots. After 3 to 4 months the one gall. pot may have roots right down to the bottom. If roots go around in circles it�s time to plant into 2 gall. pots. Again, I cut about 1/2 inch off the bottom with a large steak knife. From the 1 gall. one could plant them into the ground, but I prefer to leave them in the 2 gallon pots for the first season. Years ago I did some experiments with my own minis and those I grew on in pots were 2 to 3 times larger after one season compared to those which were planted right into the ground. # 3 : Fertilizing.

RE: How to save a potted gift rose (Follow-Up #95)
posted by: seil on 05.15.2013 at 07:26 pm in Miniature Roses Forum Nat, if you've had it in a 4 inch pot for a long time it probably could use a larger pot now. For one thing the soil in the small pot is probably pretty well depleted. For another if you want it to grow larger and bloom more it needs more root space. It will only produce the growth and blooms it's roots can support. Small roots/small plant. Go up to something maybe 10 to 15 inches and watch it grow!
I don't know what you mean by loosing the blooms. Do you mean they open, age and then fall off or they never open and the buds fall off? All roses bud, bloom then fade and die off. That's normal. Depending on the rose they can last anywhere from a day to about a week and then they die and sometimes fall off or need to be cut off, called dead heading. Then the rose will put on new growth and bloom again. It can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks for a new bloom to open. If you are watering every day that's probably too much and may be why some of your leaves are yellowing. You should wait until the top inch of soil is dry between waterings. Then water thoroughly again. You should give it some fertilizer too occasionally. Any balanced fertilizer will work. Just read the package carefully and follow all the directions. When you repot I DO NOT suggest you try and separate those plants. You will damage the roots badly in the process and stand the chance of losing them all. I have tried it many times with little success. Just pot the entire plant up into a larger pot being careful to not disturb the roots. Make sure the pot has good drainage holes and that you use POTTING soil and not any kind of garden or top soil. And take it outside! Roses HATE being in the house. If you can plant it in the ground that would be even better. In zone 6 it should winter fine for you with maybe just a little bit of leaf mulch on it in the fall for protection. But even that isn't mandatory because I have many minis in the ground that winter here with no protection at all. If you do not plant it you can still winter it outside in a garage or shed. Just water it once a month all winter long and bring it back out next spring when you start to see some new growth on it. Hope all that helps and ask if you have any more questions. NOTES: <none>

posted by: fleursuzie on 05.10.2004 at 03:18 am in Miniature Roses Forum Hi Guys...
Wow, I am really glad my post got the response that it did. I am sorry to those that asked questions...I have been away for a few weeks and didn't see all the posts until tonight. First to psa146, I agree with mainesfwriter, if they are looking fine, leave them alone. If they are looking sickly..then you might need to do it. But being in AZ, you would need to be especially careful. I am sure it is hotter there right now than it is here in mid Georgia...we are getting mid 90's. If you do end up having to do it...I would strongly suggest either keeping them indoors for a week (in a high light area...sunny window with 4 hours sun would be great)...or at least keep them shaded and cool as you can if you have to have them outdoors until they have acclimated. Like I said before, this is ONLY if they are looking sickly and you feel that it really needs to be done. If they appear to be thriving, leave them alone. You can separate in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. To Dolce Vita... I am definitely the wrong person to ask about pruning...I usually just cut back to the first 5-leaf stem after the bloom is spent. Yes, I know, pruning is alot more detailed, but I always end up butchering things when I try to prune them (lol, just as my neighbors about my hedge!) To Small Bottle... you should have some blooms by now. Let me know how they did! Sorry guys, didn't mean to make such a long post.

How to save a potted gift rose
posted by: fleursuzie on 04.04.2004 at 11:05 am in Miniature Roses Forum Although I do not profess to being any type of expert on miniature roses, I find the pretense of having "toss away" roses obscene. That is what some people have called them here on the mini rose forum.
These potted gift roses (also known as grocery store roses) can easily be saved with very little effort. Things you will need:
What to do:
If the plants are waterlogged (the soil from the original pot is soggy and boggy, the leaves are all turning yellow, etc) it is best to withhold water for the first 12 to 24 hours after replanting (this gives the roots a chance to dry out a little and excess moisture will be leached into the new dry soil). After that time, water well to make sure that there are no air pockets from when you potted up. ( � note: this is after you have put the rose in its new pot, you can still use the bucket of water to separate them) Keep the newly potted roses out of direct sun for a couple of days. After that, acclimate it to direct sunlight. Once the rose is established (about 2-4 weeks after repotting) start fertilizing. You can tell if it has established itself when new growth starts forming NOTES: <none>

posted by: susan9santabarbara on 09.01.2012 at 12:26 am in Roses Forum Fragrant lavenders/purples are probably my favorite type of rose, next being fragrant reds. I grow and love Heirloom, Neptune, Charles de Gaulle, Neptune, Lagerfeld, Barbra Streisand, Silver Star (1960's), Stainless Steel, Midnight Blue, Ebb Tide, and even the pathetic Sterling Silver. I have the Vintage version of SS (via Kim) and it's worth growing after losing several generic Sterling Silvers when I first started growing roses. Not vigorous but okay. I have Blue Girl in my back yard inherited with the house and it's not great, but worth keeping. I've grown a number of great non-fragrant lavenders like Blue Bayou.
I've ditched a few (Silver Shadows, Royal Amethyst, Fragrant Plum and another one I can't remember the name of among them). But the rare-ish rose mentioned above that you really need to find is Lila Vidri. I bought it originally from Arena as Leila Verde. I've since made tons of cuttings of it for myself and friends. I have three in my current garden. The fragrance and performance are amazing. NOTES: lavender roses

By Srithar Visuasam: Fridays fight night at the Malvern Town Hall, Melbourne, Australia had everyone at the edge of their seats, with the two main bouts electrifying the strong crowd in attendance. In the main event, Joel Casey (14-9-3, 9 KOs) took to the ring against Manny Vlamis (11-2, 8 KOs) in a twelve round encounter to decide the PABA light heavyweight title. Casey, the southpaw and taller fighter, set out to control the jab and keep the fight at range. In the opening first couple of rounds, this strategy seemed to work to good effect. However, by the third round Vlamis was finding success by working the inside and penetrating through Caseys defence. Casey, a tough fighter, who had only been stopped once in his previous eight defeats prior to this bout, seemed to struggle with preventing Vlamis offensive attacks, with Vlamis dictating terms from there on in. Casey found some success in the middle rounds and tried to step up his aggression a couple of notches, which would test Vlamis endurance, given he had never fought for more than six rounds prior to entering this bout. But Vlamis was up to the task and kept coming forward. In round eight, a left-right combo from Vlamis rocked Casey and entering the tenth round, Vlamis had the momentum on his side. In the middle stages of round 10, Vlamis knocked Casey down with a big left hand which looked to have ended the fight. However, Casey was right to recommence, but was unable to mount any challenge as Vlamis went to finish Casey and with Casey struggling to stay mobile and attack Vlamis, the ringside doctor in conjunction with referee Malcolm Bulner stopped the fight, 2:20 into the round. Vlamis, a deserved winner, takes the PABA light heavyweight title and a top 15 WBA ranking to go with it. In the co-main event, Michael Zerafa (6-0, 3 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact, although barely, in scraping a split decision victory over Faisal Fayad (5-3) over 8 rounds to capture the Victoria State light middleweight title. Zerafa came out fast and looked to dominate Fayad early, but Fayad withstood the early onslaught and started landing some heavy shots on Zerafa , including a big left in round four. Zerafa bled from the nose and Fayad carried a great deal of momentum in the middle rounds, however Zerafa was not to be denied as he still maintained a solid workrate and was able to put together some solid combinations to finish out the fight in good stead. In a close fight that could have went either way, the judges had it 77-75 to Fayad and 79-74 and 77-75 to Zerafa. ESB had it a 76-76 draw. In less than 8 months, Zerafa has gone from debutant to Victoria State champion, a terrific year for the young Victorian. In other bouts, light middleweights Ashley McDermott (1-0-4) and David Galvin (0-1-2) fought a six round majority draw with scorecards reading 58-56 to McDermott and the other two a 57-57 draw, McDermotts record moving to a rather unique four draws from five bouts, a tally you would more likely see with a football team. Super middleweight Ben Capps (1-0) defeated Jarrod Jones (0-2) via unanimous decision over four rounds, 40-35, 40-35 and 40-36 and Oscar Ledlin defeated Braidin Clardey via split decision in a battle of the debutants, with scorecards reading 38-39 Clardey and the other two 39-37 for Ledlin. The night was held by Peter Maniatis Promotions.

looks like a walnut maybe? |
Perhaps a Vicia based on that flower bud. |
- Posted by dandy_line 3B (Brainerd, Mn) (My Page) on Mon, Jun 23, 14 at 10:13
What size is that flower head and leaves? I'd say Vicia too. It's so chewed up it's hard to see details but Vicia cracca is a very widespread one with similar features and colouring. |
It also reminds me of Tephrosia, although I can't say the flowers are right .... |
- Posted by dandy_line 3B (Brainerd, Mn) (My Page) on Mon, Jun 23, 14 at 13:28
The individual flowers are about finger nail size. The plant about 1 foot tall. |
Finger nail size is too big for V cracca, unless it is a very dainty pinky. |
- Posted by dandy_line 3B (Brainerd, Mn) (My Page) on Mon, Jun 23, 14 at 18:14
An interesting id. The plant was found on RR right away on high dry ground among mostly Poison Ivy. Web pictures seem to show similar flowers. But Minnesota Wildflowers site also references Lathyrus venosus which seems to be more widespread in this area. |

The ten wildest heads of hair in metal
In metal, stage flair is pulled from every corner and then piled high on stage, or in this case brushed, rolled, picked and gelled to such great heights. Most metal musicians are so busy perfecting their metal madness through instruments, they don't have time to be bothered with such trivial matters, usually seizing simplicity with naked heads or long hair. But some performers find hair a useful tool for the rocking atmosphere above and beyond the same shit different day look. Pull your hair back from your eyes and proceed below to the ten wildest heads of hair in metal.
See also:
- The ten geekiest metal bands
- The ten best faceless metal bands
- Ten most common metal subgenres examined
10. Alexander Krull of Atrocity
There is long hair, and then there is REALLY long hair. Alexander Krull's hair is so long it could sweep a fully armed Viking army on its feet in one fell swoop. When grunting and headbanging on stage, Krull's hair even makes Zeus ferocious with envy. It's almost as if the Beatles predicted the future when they wrote the line, "He got hair down to his knees." If Krull's hair caught on fire on stage, it could be seen from outer space.
9. Danny Cecati of Eyefear
Danny Cecati's hair is so long, it will probably be the death of him, tripping over it down a flight of stairs and mummifying himself as he tumbles down. But for now, his hair gives him strength of a thousand men. If he shaved his head, he probably wouldn't be able to sing one Dio-packed operatic note. Cecati and his band Eyefear come from a land down under, where the hair grows and then plunders. You better run, you better take cover.
8. Josh Silver of Type O Negative
The hair of Josh Silver has its own veins with Type O Negative blood running through it. Silver's hair is more impressive than Howard Stern's, and it even outshines the late great Peter Steele's long locks and all his 6'6" Jack and the Beanstalk squashing giantness. Though never attempted, Silver could probably play the keyboard with his hair like a guitarist playing with teeth.
7. Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria
If you go to a Coheed and Cambria show, you'll find dozens of Claudio look-a-likes rocking the same look. If Claudio was Buzz Osborne's son, he would have made him proud. Actually, it wouldn't be a surprise if Claudio was Buzz's illegitimate son, or Reggie Watts' half brother. Like his music, Sanchez's hair reaches to other worlds and has orbited around moons in multiple galaxies.

How can magnetic materials be shielded from a magnetic force field?
- scissors
- ruler
- cardboard
- 2 pencils
- masking tape
- bar magnet
- 10 paper clips
- stainless steel cake-server
- Cut two 8-inch × 4-inch (20-cm × 10-cm) cardboard pieces.
- Put the pencils between the card-board pieces, as shown in the diagram.
- Tape the ends of the cardboard pieces together to secure the cardboard-and-air sandwich.
- Tape the magnet near the edge of the top piece of cardboard.
- Place all 10 paper clips on a wooden table.
- Hold the cardboard sandwich high above the paper clips.
- Slowly lower the cardboard sandwich until it is just above, but not touching, the clips.
- Observe any movement of the paper clips.
- Without moving the cardboard, slowly insert the cake-server between the two pieces of cardboard.
- Again, observe any movement of the paper clips.
The paper clips are first pulled up and cling to the bottom of the cardboard-and-air sandwich. The clips fall when the metal cake-server is inserted between the cardboard pieces.
The magnetic lines of force from the magnet pass through the cardboard and air, as indicated by the attraction of the paper clips toward the magnet. Materials that allow magnetic lines of force to pass through them are said to be nonpermeable. The stainless steel cake-server acts as a magnetic shield. The force lines coming from the north pole of the magnet do not pass through the cake-server and then continue to move outward. Instead, they are gathered in, travel down the metal server, and re-enter the magnet at its south pole. Materials that gather magnetic lines of force are said to be permeable. Only magnetic materials are permeable.
Let's Explore
- What other materials are permeable? Repeat the experiment, but replace the cake-server with other materials such as paper, glass, wood, plastic, rubber, and aluminum foil. Science Fair Hint: Use magazine pictures to make a poster of permeable and nonpermeable items. The poster can be used as part of a project display.
- Does the shape of the magnet affect the permeability of materials held near the magnet? Repeat the original experiment using different-shaped magnets. Science Fair Hint: Display drawings or photographs to indicate the results of using different-shaped magnets.
Show Time!
Use iron filings to show the effect of permeable and non permeable materials on magnetic lines of force. Place a horseshoe magnet on a table, with an iron nail near but not touching the poles of the magnet. Cover the magnet with a sheet of paper. Sprinkle iron filings on the part of the paper that is covering the magnet. Repeat the experiment, but replace the nail with a wooden stick. Make drawings and/ or take photographs of the patterns formed by the iron filings. These diagrams and photographs can be displayed to show the effect of permeable materials and nonpermeable materials.
Check It Out!
Like a bar magnet, the earth has a magnetic field around it. This field, called the magnetosphere, protects the earth from powerful space radiation. Read about this protective shield. You could include this information in an oral report and create a diagram showing the shape of the magnetosphere with its tail-like extension trailing outward toward the sun.

They are usually found in the Frontier area. There are certain areas they spawn, but they also will randomly appear during any daytime and weather condition. One of the convoys has about a 50% chance to spawn in front of the Templar Fort that is located in the south-western corner of the map. There is a harbor nearby that can be used as a fast travel station. If the convoy does not spawn, you can travel to another map and return. Defeat all the enemies guarding the convoy, then interact with the back of the carriage to get some good loot. Repeat this as many times as desired. |

Hi All,
I am trying to bake brownies for the first time today .
I have read and heard peple telling that baking brownies is very tricky ! they can end up turning so hard .
Please let me know anything that i need to know before starting to bake?All suggestions welcome .
below is the recipe and the method I am gonna be using -
Brownie Layer:
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 ounces (115 grams) unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (65 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Layer:
8 ounces (227 grams) full fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Cream Cheese Brownies:Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Have ready a9 inch (23 cm) square baking pan that has been lined with aluminum foil.
In a heatproof bowl, placed over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from heat and stir or whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour and salt and stir vigorously until the batter is smooth and glossy (about one minute). Remove 1/2 cup (120 ml) of the brownie batter and set it aside. Spread the remainder of the brownie batter evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
Then, in the bowl of your food processor (or with a hand mixer), process the cream cheese just until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla, and egg and process just until creamy and smooth (do not over process). Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the brownie layer. Spoon 16 small dollops (4 rows with 4 dollops of brownie batter in each row) of the reserved brownie batter evenly on top of the cream cheese filling. Run a knife or wooden skewer back and forth through the two batters until you have a marble effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for about30 minutesor until the brownies are set and the cream cheese is just beginning to brown. (A toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out with just a few moist crumbs.) Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Then cover and refrigerate the brownies until they are firm enough to cut into squares (several hours or even overnight). Once chilled, remove the brownies from the pan by lifting with the ends of the foil and transfer to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut into 16 squares
Thank you ,
