Many cities in the United States have seen a temporary economic boost from the discovery of gold. Seattle, however, capitalized on the discovery of gold in a nearby location. When the 1897 discovery of gold in Alaska sparked the Klondike Gold Rush, Seattle merchants quickly moved to present the city as a center for supplies and transportation.
Seattle's population doubled in ten years. The transformation from a timber town into a shipping center had begun, and the city soon became the economic heart of the region.

I have brewed a few ales and all have turned out just fine/great just a few ? and I think I will have a better feel on what I am doing.
1 Cali common from NB extract kit OG of 1.046 what should I be looking at for a FG using Saflager 23 in a 60-64 temp range and how do I come up with these numbers?
2 Lager/time is this just the time it conditions in the secondary/bottles? this will be done in the same temp range as the ferment as it is the best I have. Thanks in advance jr
#1. find the attenuation rating for the yeast. it should say on the package or on the manufacture's website. now take the number to the right of the decimal point of your OG reading and multiply by 1 - (% / 100). that should be your expected FG. Don't be to terribly alarmed if real life dose not match this number exactly.
all I can find on the rating only states FG medium
what does every one think I should get for a FG?
no help?????
Your FG should be somewhere between 1.013-1.009. Those are just ballpark figures, but S-23 has an average attenuation of 73.5%.
thank you ....
No problem...make sure you update when you goto bottle to see if the numbers add up.
Aside from using calculations; your FG would typically be...
whatever the gravity is when you check your hydrometer readings a few days between and it is unchanged....
Based on yeast, temperature, etc. (and, really, your recipe should list a FG ballpark, no?).
Good luck and enjoy the final product!
Thanks for the help I checked it to see if it was close to range and it is at 1.01 so I I am good to go on this one the Oktoberfest is still chugging along for the 2nd week it started at 1.06 trying to figure this one

But as Christiane Northrup, M.D., shows us in this profoundly empowering book, we have it in us to make growing older an entirely different experience, for both our bodies and our souls.

America's Most Influential Journalist
By Bill Press
Launched in May 1963, Novak's column was the nation's longest-running political column. It was also the most powerful. Columns by others may appear in more newspapers, but nobody has Novak's clout.
Why? First, because he works so hard at it. He never stops. Until now, he never took a break. He had more sources, and better sources, than any other journalist.
His column was also so powerful because Bob Novak is much than just a political commentator. He's an old-fashioned, deep-digging, relentless reporter. He never just gave his opinion. He reported news. And he often made news.

The Ice Is Ready In Buffalo
12/30/07 at 08:45 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the CP,
"There's no relaxing for the next 48 hours - none, zero," Craig said emphatically Sunday afternoon.
The NHL's magic man when it comes to ice is up to his old tricks. People in and around hockey had serious concerns about a hockey rink going up at Ralph Wilson Stadium in less than half the allotted time the league had to build the ice surface at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton four years ago for the Heritage Classic - the NHL's first outdoor foray for a regular-season game.
So far so good. Craig had his staff split up and work 12-hour shifts so that it was nearly non-stop 24/7 since last Sunday night at 7 p.m. The result? As of Sunday afternoon, they were pretty much right on par with where things stood in Edmonton 48 hours out from game time.
"The rink itself looks fairly well ready to go," Craig allowed himself to say. "We're ready to go, let's drop the puck and play hockey."

The NHL In 2008
12/30/07 at 02:44 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,
Any idiot can tell you what's happened in the first half of the NHL season. But only this idiot can tell you what's about to happen in the league's second half….
Feb. 26: After two weeks of near-hysterical trade rumours, the deadline comes and goes with just one major deal. Anaheim's Brian Burke orchestrates a three-team trade in which he moves Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry to Buffalo for Thomas Vanek and Derek Roy. Buffalo then sends Getzlaf and Perry to Tampa Bay for Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis before Burke deals Vanek and Roy to Tampa for Getzlaf and Perry and the Lightning ship Vanek and Roy back to Buffalo for Richards and St. Louis.
True, all six players end up on their original teams but TSN fills four hours of programming on the deal.
"I was bored," Burke explains.
"This is proof the new NHL is working," says Bettman.

Rangers Should Wait On Trade
12/30/07 at 02:32 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the NY Daily News,
The recent mutual observation society involving scouts from the Rangers and Columbus Blue Jackets raised anticipation that a deal might be imminent. But the Rangers' best course of action is to hold off as long as possible in case a big bang is required at the Feb. 26 trade deadline.

Another productive trip West. A whitewash of our JV sisters from St. Louis, a grinding win over the mediocre Dive and last night's slush-fest in Phoenix. 6 possible points: done.
Check this out: counting OT and the now completely lifeless shootouts, the Wings have lost seven times on the road out of twenty games.

Hurry Up And Sign Cleary
12/30/07 at 01:11 PM ET | Comments (0)
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
The Wings have a stacked club, but GM Ken Holland doesn't want to let unrestricted free agent forward Dan Cleary get away. He may be their most versatile player, creative enough to play with the big boys, strong enough defensively to be a shut-down forward. "Some other team may think Danny can be a No. 2 centre and may offer him a lot of money," said one NHL scout.

Who Could The Bruins Trade
12/30/07 at 01:04 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette,
Phil Kessel's stock recently has plummeted in Boston, so maybe he's a candidate, but that might be a move the Bruins would regret someday. Sturm, Savard, Murray and Zdeno Chara reportedly have clauses in their contracts that either bar trades or restrict them only to certain teams.
And if you deal Savard or Sturm, where does that leave your already-lame offense? Murray's trade value, frankly, is limited by his age, salary ($4.15 million), and recent spotty production. Kessel, though the limitations in his game have become glaring recently, still could develop into a superstar in this league, and there are enough ex-Bruins already flirting with the NHL All-Star team right now, thank you.
That brings us back to Axelsson, whose name pops up as trade bait whenever the Bruins have a need.

Rob Blake Would Think About Waiving NTC
12/30/07 at 12:55 PM ET | Comments (0)
via Adrian Dater at the Denver Post,
He is 38 years old, has a no-trade clause and makes a lot of money. But Rob Blake would still be attractive to many NHL teams at the league trade deadline or sooner, and the former Avalanche defenseman said he would consider waiving his clause to go to the right team.
"(The Kings) would have to come to me first, but, yeah, it's a possibility," Blake said, after Saturday's 3-1 Kings victory over the Avs.
Blake, who played with Colorado from 2001-04, is in the final year of a contract earning him $6 million. With the Kings having the worst record in the NHL, even after Saturday's win, the team could become sellers by the Feb. 26 deadline. "Hopefully, we can turn things around here first, before any (trade) talk happens," Blake said.

"I think the answers for now have to come from within," Feaster said, "certainly until we get a resolution with the sale situation. The one thing we're not going to do is move the big three. It's just not going to happen."
Tortorella echoed that sentiment.
"We've got nothing coming this way," he said. "That's our way of life right now. We're talked about this as a group. Don't hold your hands out looking for help. ... There's no help in the minors. There's no help in signings. We have to figure it out."

No Outdoor Game For Columbus
12/30/07 at 12:12 PM ET | Comments (0)
from the Columbus Dispatch,
Why couldn't the Blue Jackets play host to a game in Ohio Stadium? Schedule the Detroit Red Wings or the Pittsburgh Penguins, and you could draw up to 100,000, maybe more, the largest crowd to ever watch a hockey game.
"Logistically, you've got issues with the weather and the way we maintain the stadium in the winter," said Don Patko, Ohio State's assistant athletic director for facilities. "But we never say never. It would be like setting up for a rock concert."
Blue Jackets president Mike Priest said Columbus is not on the NHL's list for cities under consideration.
"It would be a hoot, I'll grant you that," Priest said. "But they made it clear that, in their mind, only a few U.S. cities could pull it off."

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It Was Great !!..We Were Extremely Happy with Our Stay...We hope to Come back Soon Thank You So Much !
Home away from home!
We had a wonderful time! Elaine and Stuart were wonderful hosts. Even with a slight hiccup, they took care of us. The rooms are spacious and beds were comfortable. We had tons of space for our family. The pool was a treat every day. There are plenty of stores for shopping close by. The only thing we could see is updating the cookware as we like to have that option available. We would recommend this house a hundred times over!
We stayed here for three nights on 5/20/2014. This is a wonderful property, very secure, and very well maintained. Al the owner is very nice to deal with. We will stay there again!

William De Witt Snodgrass
Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (1 April 1945) Poem by William De Witt Snodgrass
(Göring, head of the Luftwaffe, once bragged that if one German city were bombed, they could call him "Meier." At his Karinhall estate, he questions himself and his disgrace.)
And why, Herr Reichsmarschall, is Italy
Just like schnitzel? If they're beaten
Either one will just get bigger.
Neither cuts too firm a figure.
Still, all this humble pie you've eaten
Lately, fills you out quite prettily.
Why then, Herr Göring, how can we
Tell you and Italy apart?
Italy always wins through losing;
I, just the opposite, by using
High skills and cunning learned the art
Of flat pratfalls through victory.
You've led our Flying Circus; how
Could our war ace turn to a clown?
Both pad out over-extended fronts;
Both keep alive doing slick stunts
And, even so, both get shot down.
But only one's called "Meier" now.
Pray, could an old, soft football be
Much like a man in deep disgrace?
They don't kick back; don't even dare
Look up—the British own the air!
Then, stick a needle in someplace;
Pump yourself full of vacancy.
Tell us, dear Minister for Air,
Are warriors, then, like a bad smell?
Neither stays inside its borders;
Either's bound to follow ordures;
They both expand and play the swell
Though something's getting spoiled somewhere.
Then answer one more question, which is
Are politicians like whipped cream?
They both inflate themselves with gas;
Also they both puff up your ass
Till you're exposed like some bad dream
Where you've grown too big for your britches.
Herr President, can't we tell apart
An artful statesman and an ass?
Fat chance! One spouts out high ideals;
One makes low rumblings after meals.
But that's the threat of leaking gas
Which all men fear! No; that's a fart.
Last, could you give one simple rule
To tell a medal from a turd?
No. They both come from those above you
Conveying their opinion of you.
Right! Here's your new medal, conferred
For vast achievements: April Fool!

Moreover, it houses the Kansas City Zoo which features a Tropical Habitat House, the Bird & Carnivore house and a large number of African & American animals. It also has the beautiful Swope Memorial, built in the memory of philanthropist and founder of the park, Thomas Swope. Over the years, a lot of structures have been developed and re-developed in order to enhance its beauty and to increase its use by the general public.
»Blue River Parkway Trails
The majestic Blue River runs through the greater Kansas City metropolitan area and is one of the most popular recreational places for city dwellers. On both sides of the river, outdoor enthusiasts can get on their bike, take their horse or simply walk idly on the well-manicured trails. The trails are a great place to get away from it all while still in the city and an even better place to see flora and fauna.
»Kemper Outdoor Education Center
The Kemper Outdoor Education Center provides hands-on, interactive education for kids as well as adults through its fossil exhibits, trails, ponds and arboretum. The center is usually filled with elementary school students exploring the different topographical features of the prairie, some others are here for day camp and others are here for team exercises. The on-site instructors teach about natural history including workshops on lepidoptery, herpetology, entomology and the myriad events the center provides is an invaluable resource to the community.
»Theis Park
This park does it all - from hosting music concerts to AIDS walks. Better known for its sports events, the park is visited by sports fanatics frequently. When the park is not playing host to adrenaline-pumped events, it hosts theater and music festivals. During such festivals, the park turns into a great social hangout and you can meet some interesting people.
»Legoland Discovery Center
Step into a world of creativity and fun at Legoland Discovery Center. This amusement park is especially made for children and the child friendly attractions reflect just that! Go on the interactive Kingdom Quest ride or build whatever type of vehicle you can imagine at the Lego Racers: Build & Test attraction. You can even watch a show in the 4D cinema. No trip is complete without seeing important landmarks made miniature at Miniland.
»Union Station Theater District
Yet another fun destination in Union Station, this collection of live action and motion picture theaters offers something for everyone. The H&R Block City Stage features live action musical and historic shows. The Vic and Helen Regnier City Extreme Screen amazes audiences with its five-story tall movie screen and a 5.1 stereo surround sound system. The Arvin Gottlieb City Dome puts viewers in the middle of the action with its 360-degree screen.

Convenient campground when traveling between Yellowstone and Devils Tower. Stopped at Buffalo Bill Wild West Museum on the way to campground. Great presentation of Wild West history. Should have planned more than 3 hours - so much to see. This campground was clean, sites level, and easy pull thru. Owner very nice. That's the good. The negative include no bathroom or shower facility this year. They are building a new facility but did not mention this when the reservation was made. There is some type of industry nearby and the noise was constant and loud. Sounded like large trucks loading and I noticed a cement processing plant when I left town. I would look for another location if passing through this part of the country but would stay if I needed a place to try and sleep. The owners can not control outside noises in all fairness to them. Just be aware the noise is there. We camped at Campbell's Green Oasis Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

Stopped here on the way to Yellowstone from Devil's Tower, it was about halfway. Their name says it all, Green oasis. It is just the place we needed for the night, a welcoming owner, a clean level site and only a block from rt 16, but still pretty quiet. We will stop here again if traveling through.

We only stayed here one night but I wish we had a few more nights to stay. The was the nicest campground out of the 8 we stayed at during our vacation. Very clean bathrooms and showers. The owners were incredibly friendly. The layout of the campground was great for quick in and quick out for over nighters. We camped at Campbell's Green Oasis Campground in a Tent Trailer.Undo

Ok, its cheap for the area and it worked really well for me. Got a really good room overlooking the sea and the location is great. There was everything we needed, although no internet which was the only downside when needing to book something, but we only had to go along the road to the cafe to pick up a signal! Would stay here again.

After the Storm
... Apple bananas, some bok chop, 3 lemons and a bunch of cilantro. After a little shopping we took a drive and walked along a volcanic rock path to a shoreline access south of Keahou Bay. The surf was wild and Steven got some great ocean pictures and some goats. We then travelled up the mountain towards Holualoa. This is coffee country, and it also has some interesting ...
... We finally got back to our condo about 4:30. Wiped out from riding in the car all day! We had dinner in the condo and decided we would head down to the beach to watch the sunset. The "Kona winds" were still blowing but we were able to get some good pictures of the sunset. Lots of people were already there with their cameras so we knew we were in a good spot. Enjoyed the sunset and decided to call it a day.
Day 17 - Kailua - Kona
... again to Waikoloa for some turtle shopping and have lunch at the Queen and Kings Shoppes. We had been there the first day we arrived in Kona. We stopped at the Marriott Beach Resort and it really lovely. We shared a sandwich and watched everyone in the pool. Walked out to the beach to the fish ponds. Looked around the shopping stuff and found some marbles turtles for me and Tanya. Back to Kona to Walmart to buy some cottage cheese and a ...
Manta Rays
... was time to head back in. I wish I could have stayed for hours and watched them longer, but they don't stay around for too long after sunset, even with the lights on. It was hard to swim back because I kept looking back at the mantas that were still rolling. They gave us some snacks once we were back on the boat and we took off the wetsuits so we could wrap up in our towels to warm up a little. We smiled all the way back to the dock. Hands down the best part of the trip.
Interesting open air airport
... invite to their presentation. Having made it abundantly clear that the last thing we were going to do with our limited time was waste it at a time share presentation, we did walk away with a discount card that worked in many of the local restaurants. So armed with this, it was out to eat and we found a great restaurant just down the road and got 20% off. Result…

Raised Planter Soil?
Since the previous owners of this house filled the backyard with gravel, sand, and weed block fabric, we decided that raised planters would be the best option for extending our kitchen garden. There was a 6'x36' area that they had landscaped that I was able to turn into a nice little garden.
What kind of soil mixture should we fill the raised planters with? Should we find some fill dirt and mix it with garden soil and compost? Or should we fill it with moisture control potting soil?
In part it is going to depend on the size-depth of the raised planters and if they have bottoms or if they are like raised beds with no bottoms.
The concern in any kind of container is drainage. You don't want to use garden soil in any type of container-instead I would use something specifically labeled for container plants. Miracle grow makes a potting mix specifically for container vegetables which I would mix with a cheap potting soil.
Please watch the (9) short video's on building raised beds,you don't need to go to the same expense I did,but you'll get great tips and answers to other questions
My soil is Aged Steer Manure,Decomposed Granite,Clay,Pumice,Leaf and Grass Compost

This year I am trying to get back into the melon market. When the melons are ready for market, I start getting busier at school. I don't have alot of time to do some crops, but I figure melons are a good seller and you can pick a bunch, in a short amount of time, unlike lettuce (pick, wash, sort, bag)
Many people sell big Crimson Sweet melons. Several people bring in truckloads. I am not competing with them. I am trying to listen to the customers and they want smaller melons. So I am growing personal sized 3-5 pounds up to icebox melons at 8 to 10 pounds. I don't want any bigger than this. I am also experimenting with many varieties and many colors. I am also trying out plastic mulch and succession plant. I may be biting of more than I can chew, but that is what I do best!
I had to make a planting diagram, with pictures, to make sure and plant different melons with similar looks apart from each other.
Here is the first planting of melons planting diagram.
Here is the first stop, 70 foot rows, 6 foot apart. Now that it has rained, I can get the row middles tilled and cleaned up!
Here is picture down the row, they are starting to put out true leaves.
I also planted a super small patch (10 watermelon, 10 canteloupe), on April 1st and replanted on April 15th. Here is what they look like.
As soon as I can get the plastic mulch down for the next 4 beds, I will plant them. I am also planning to plant a smaller 3rd planting around the July 1. Most of these melons are in the 60 to 70 days, so they should make it (I hope).
I will just write on the rind with a a sharpie. I tried to separate the varieties by rind color and also size. I won't worry about the red ones, but I am concerned about the yellow, orange and shorbet swirl ones.
Yes it did rain, 1.14 inches, there is some rain west of here this morning, moving east.
Sharpie - good idea. Say, I still haven't planted my tomatoes yet, they're hardened off (as much as could be with fairly warm nights in 50's-60 and not a lot of sunny days). Today is my chance since we have 80% chance of rain tomrrow and about 40% each day for the next week. I'm a little worried about some of them since next week highs are going to be around 60 and lows in the high 40's. Think I should plant them out now? I really want to get them out of the garage. Maybe I'll keep the 4 from my cousin I have in 2-gal pots along with the 6 I just brought home from the greenhouse, but I gotta get the trays of my stuff out (or pot up the ones still in 3606's!), though I'm going to keep some trays for market the next 2 weeks.
Also, I marked off 2-ft spacing (all indeterminate except a dozen Glacier), I'd really love to cut it down to 18" so I can fit 60 along the remesh fence and just tie/clip them to the fence - my soil isn't really rich, Medium High in OM and Nitrate, Medium in ammonium, High in P,K,Ca and Very High in Mg, pH 6.8. The bed is over 2 ft deep/high (it's on ledge), sandy loam, and a good 2ft wide (wider in places) - think that will give them enough room even at 18" spacing? Should I add more aged manure in the holes when I plant, maybe even top-dress as needed? I don't want to overdo the N and end up with all foliage, no fruit, but I want to make sure they have enough room to grow too.
If I can fit my 60 indies in 1 bed, then I can put the Glaciers near the house or in the next bed over with peppers and pull them when they're done, gives me more room. Otherwise I've got to put 12 indies in the next bed over along with the Glaciers and peppers and weave them.
I also mark my melons w/a Sharpie. I plant 3-5 seeds in hills 6 feet apart w/rows at least 8-10 feet apart. Melons sprawl pretty far and I don't want to damage a solid mass of vines searching for melons. I can also use my tractor to weed pretty close both directions before they start vining. Then I'll mulch. I do the same for winter squash and pumpkins.
As I noted in the cuke post, I cannot keep Yellow Doll in stock. They sell immediately and do not take so long to mature so I do multiple plantings. Sugar Baby is another small melon that does quite well and is very inexpensive. I have never really noticed any difference between open pollinated and hybrid melons. I tried for several years to push the gold skinned melons, but they never caught on. I also resisted large melons at first but increased drastically my planting of them this year. That is what people want. I have, however, selected premium varieties of high brix to separate myself from the others.
As for canteloupe, I have never found anything that tastes as good as Ambrosia--or sells as well. I still experiment w/several new varieties every year though. Athena is decent and keeps and handles well. This year I've planted Gold Dubloon, which has a high brix, and Maverick. A lot of the other hybrids I've tried look and handle well but just have no taste--like store bought.
I transplanted my melons today. 96 total, two dozen are watermelons. I am letting Crimson Sweet and Blacktail Mountain cross and see what I get.
Other melons are:
MN midget
Delicious 51
Hale's Best
Wapsi wonder
Jenny Lind
I had a sample packet of agri-gel for transplants and I dipped them in first. That stuff is cool!
melons planted today
I have had good success growing watermelons, since we have a perfect climate for them, low summer weed pressure,well water, great sandy loam soil and a long season. However, once again I am confronted with market grower vs. hobbyist mentalities.
Playing catch-up again on the market grower issue. I will definitely start more melons on black plastic next year and choose earlier varieties along with the large melons I have been growing according to traditional planting calendars . Better late than never, yellow doll seeds are on the way to go with already planted sugar babies, moon and stars, mountain hoosier, black diamond, and a few plants of some others.
we are completing our melon planting today. i had to build a screen house to keep the birds (mostly crows) from pecking holes in most of the melons like they did last year.
we are planting about 150 plants all together. about 50 ambrosia and athena, about 30 solitaire (hmmm, i think thats the variety) which is personal size seedless red, about 30 crimson sweet, and the rest are either a yellow or orange variety.
we planted the first 100 last week and they are off to a great start.
t-tapes under plastic in soil mixed with compost.
the way to sell melons is samples at the market.
Be sure that you have the appropriate safety measures, since watermelons (all melons) are classified as highly hazardous for samples (along with eggs). We used to sample, and even cut up and sell the cuts/dices, until we were INFORMED of the rules.
You'll need washing station and cooling, but not directly on ice.
Who sets out melon transplants and who direct seeds?
I direct seeded watermelons and backed them up in cell flats on the germination tables. Good thing. It has it's advantages even if in theory it is not necessary.
I did a lot of pregerm on winter squash and put them strait in their hills in the garden once they popped. That worked out well because it is so dry here that seeded hills have to be watered everyday until the plants get some roots.
All of mine were direct seeded this year. I was going to transplant, but I wasn't sure when I would get the plastic down and then I didn't have time to start them earlier. So, direct seed it is!
Using my new toy, a planter from Stand and Plant, it made direct seeding super easy! I would recommend it to anyone.
The only transplanted stuff that works good for me is what I put in the high tunnels. I transplant the same plants in the tunnels as I plant outside and I will loose 1/3 to the wind outside and none inside. If I direct seed outside, I loose a few, but not as many.
i transplant all of them. seedless watermelon seed is too expensive to risk not germinating. i also hate empty holes in plastic mulch.
i've been giving watermelon samples for years without any problems. we'll see if the market manager says anything this year.
I pre-start mine most of the time. I started learning from professionals in Vincennes, IN (supposedly the Melon capital of the world).
Jay, I have the blue one like the stand and plant planter, the Amish called it a 'jab planter'. LOVE it. I even use it for beans and corn, really saves the back.
O.K. I read something that surprised me yesterday. Someone recommended putting the melon starts in the shade for a couple of days to "harden them" off for transplant.
Anyone hear of that? Mine are in trays in full sun and that is where they started. Wasn't thinking about putting them in the shade.
i see no point in putting them in the shade. to me hardening off means acclimating the plants to being out in the wind. i don't withhold water like some do since i have no plans to withhold water once they are in the ground.
i planted melons out with no hardening off at all and they are doing very well. go figure.
I can see hardening them off in the shade IF they were used to a less intensive light. Hardening off is BOTH getting the plants used to wind and heat fluctuation and water restrictions. Basically just getting used to the growing conditions that they will have for the remainder of their lives
O.K. I reread the article. It said to put them in a cooler spot and cut back on water. I misunderstood that to be shade.
Here it is very risky/dangerous to seedlings of any kind to cut back on water once a plant is outside, especially in cell flats.After about early April they have to be watered every day, or more often, and before noon in any case.
I talked to the Public Health official a year or so ago at the market (they were doing a spot check - the one and only time I have had one) about samples. Her statement was that all we needed for a handwash station was single use water (not a bowl where you dip your hands), soap and towels. The water did not have to be hot. So I pulled out the water cooler (it's always in the truck anyway, got a bar of soap out of the ditch kit and paper towels out of the market box. The wash is for us not the customers so set it on the tailgate of the truck and volia - compliance. There were other little details - she was not too keen on using my pocketknife to slice so now have a regular fized blade knife in the truck) and the samples are not to be touched so we have a little box of toothpicks. We quite often open up a mellon for samples as well as apples in the fall. We also carry Dixie cups and give samples of our cider which boosts sales an amazing amount. I suspect the 50% of those that take the sample but a jug. Granted, this is all in the People's Republic of Illinois but I imagine in a free state like Indiana the requirements are much alike.
Indiana is stricter, especially on melons/tomatoes. Of course, this was what I sold/sampled more of. Plus our water had to be warm and the cooler couldn't have a push-button nozzle, had to be a toggle type.
It wouldn't have been too hard to set up, but I didn't really need it or the extra headache. Our board made inspections at least monthly.
CT is the same way, warm water, continuous on (not hold in button), waste bucket, waste basket, wash the knife between cutting each item, wash any tongs, etc., if food already cut needs to be chilled. Plus you need a temporary food permit - at least this year they have a state-wide farmer's permit so it's good all season at any market in any health district. But still didn't think it worth the hassle.
Now, I don't know if the hand-washing station is for me or customers, so maybe it might not be too bad (wouldn't need a large insulated container). I'll have to ask. I would love to give samples of cherry toms (no cutting needed), but larger toms would require a food permit - don't want to give each person a whole BW to try! I don't even think I want to get into jams and jellies - I'd have to control it by offering small spoonfuls on disposable spoons and I'm the only one working the table so just too time-consuming.
Just wondering if anyone has had problems with the Food Police coming down on you for anything like happened to this Tulsa woman? Of course she was in the city limits I suppose.
Link included.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tulsa Womans Garden blocked by the City
Another update:
I never had mixed results with watermelons before this year(only great).
Moon and stars red fleshed melons are running good but the yellow just won't grow, first try by direct seed and second by transplants. I think I am going to pull them and put in winter squash.
Sugar babies mostly look great from transplants. Better than last year and basically in the same spot that the moon and stars won't grow in. Moon and stars yellow flesh probably are defective.... a gene for stunted growth?
When I read something like you linked, all I think about is how there must be something else besides what was mentioned. Some city people wouldn't recognize a garden plant if I bit them. If a supervisor says to cut it down, then you cut it down. The only thing she might have done was to have signs on each and every plant.
I didn't read how many plants she had in what size of 'garden'. It might have looked like a bunch of weeds, like my gardens usually end up.
I don't have to worry about anything like that, since I live on 19 acres surrounded by farms. Maybe she needed to find a community garden to have her garden. Also some medicial plants are 'weeds' to several people.
For our purposes, we could put up a sign such as "So and So's Market Garden" at the entrance (front) on our gardens. Of course this would only need to be done in towns/cities.
And from the article it wasn't even a market garden! She was just trying to feed herself! Sounds like home owner's assoc. or local "beauty" codes gone wild - no plants over 12" unless it's food??? So no one can plant ornamental trees? Irises? Glads?
Of course, since she was growing medicinal plants maybe they came down on her for growing MJ? Though I would think they would have mentioned that.
Anyway, if it was just food, I think the city owes her - replant everything AND give her food from the food bank (though she might already be eligible for that).
