You know there's something wrong
You know there's something wrong when its warmer in Alaska then it is in the midwest. Yesterday while were trying to warm up to zero (never quite made it), it was 40 in Alaska. Earlier this month its warmer in the North Pole then here. The weather has been a yo yo here and I fearful of how big my plant loss will be. Checked the the roses yesterday all but two look good. Still a lot more winter ahead better bundle in.
While mother nature is letting her hair down this winter, we really can't complain too much. It has been a while since we have had a truly harsh/cold winter and we were due. This may not be so much fun, if some of the reports about us being at the apex of a warming trend for the last 500 years or so and now starting a cooling trend are correct.
As my college professor used to say, "Science is fun, and meteorolgy isn't really science."
I pore over the weather map EVERY single day. It's a sick obsession with me. Not only is the Midwest significantly colder than towns listed in Alaska on the map, but a good deal of the South is colder than those Alaskan towns, too. For example, Charleston, SC, is supposed to have a low tonight of 20, but Anchorage, AK, will only get down to 34. One of the hardest hit is poor Louisville, KY, which will reach down to -1. Of course, the Alaskan towns are closer to the water, I guess. Still, isn't Fairbanks inland? It won't get as cold as poor Louisville, either. Meanwhile I live in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. We get smog worthy of LA (the "inversion"), and it lasts for weeks. Not only are the hills not in view right now, just a nasty brown cloud, the differences between our highs and lows can be as little as 3 or 4 degrees. It's just gloom and doom 24/7. Diane
I'm worried about my roses too. It's been some time since we've had a winter this cold so I have no idea what will make it through. Thankfully we do have snow cover this year. We are within about a 1/2 inch of breaking the all time record January snow fall total of 29.6 inches. I'm pretty sure we'll break that. It's snowing right now, lol. I'm hoping that snow cover will help some in keeping the roses insulated through the prolonged cold but I'm sure I'm going to have to do some deep pruning this spring.
I appreciate Diane mentioning Louisville...since I live there! Let me say...I don`t ever remember it like this in my adult life. I am worried sick about my roses. What shall I do? I say...order more roses!!!! Ha! I will add to my Palatine and my DA order and I will plan a trip to S.C and visit my sister and Roses Unlimited. What else is a girl to do?Hope this picture does not offend....I`m freezing here and dreaming of summer! Lesley
Here in Lexington, Ky., I'm wondering about the roses, too. On the positive side even with less roses, less thrips? I have several roses on fort rootstock. It should be an interesting year for keeping records on what survives and why, any impact on insects, etc. Survival of the fittest? And more interesting posts this year to follow.
If you're hoping for fewer thrips because of the cold weather, don't get them hopes up too far up. Last year, we had an awful January, and the thrips were bad as ever (sorry, but smog makes me gloomy).
Lesley, were you swimming today? Heehee. You look pretty darn good. Must be all that gardening work. I do hope it warms up in Louisville. The temps across the South have shocked me.
Seil, I would love to have some of your snow. It's brown, brown everywhere here. But as I've said a million times, you don't get much precip in a desert.
I hope everyone warms up soon, and their roses survive to bloom in spring beautifully. Really. Diane
The day before the snow storm it was close to 60 degrees but I knew it was coming so out to the garage I went. Fired up the big snow blower, turned it facing outward so it would be ready to go. Talk about a temperature drop...... anyhow. out to the garage (we use a simple padlock on the double doors) to get the machine. Put key in lock and NO IT WON'T OPEN...... it was frozen solid.
Thank GOD that my young neighbor up the street came down and cleaned our driveway for us.
Okay, back to the roses, sorry, got carried away there.....
Well, I have conditions that, however gray and wet, are paradisal compared to what most of you folks are complaining of, and I've STILL been fighting gloom. So you all have my sympathies. It sounds rough.
I don't know if others are affected by low light the way I am, but I'm looking forward, after months of mental pain and bad humor--aggravated, I believe, by a very gray fall--to a boost in my mood around the end of this month or beginning of February. I've found that I perk up at this time; it seems that my body starts getting enough light at this point to begin functioning again. It was already a fact to celebrate when we reached January 21st and a month past the winter solstice. Though I live in mild, if not sunny, Italy, we're just below the 45th Parallel and the winter days are dramatically short here, the change in the length of days substantial.
I'm looking forward to spring!
Melissa thefarm, I used to wake up depressed even in summer. My bedroom window faces the sun when it comes up, so I always had my drapes closed so I wouldn't be blinded by the light. One night I decided to open the drapes and the next morning I woke up happy. Waking up to sunlight made a huge difference in my attitude and made me all around happier. It might not be an option for you, and maybe you're already awake when the sun comes up, but I found it very helpful.
I usually get up at 5:30 a.m.; the sun these days is still rising after 8:00. I don't understand how this can be, but our days are lengthening in the evening, not in the morning. Anyway, it seems to be the total amount of sunlight available that's significant. For several years now my experience has been that at a given point in the winter my mood improves, and thank heaven we'll reach that point in about a week. Congratulations on having found help from the sun!
Kippy, I will hope with you that the horrible mites passing RRD around will be killed. :)
This had been an unusually cold winter for us as well and I am looking forward to a smaller mosquito population this summer! I think my roses will survive but if they don't then I get to do some additional shopping and planning. :)
Yes, Melissa, I get SAD in the winter too. Last year I left an old patio chair cushion out and when the days were sunny I would just go out and sit in the sun, bundled up of course, but in the sun never the less. It made a big difference in how I felt last winter. This year because of the darn polar vortex it's just TOO cold to do that even on sunny days and I've really noticed a difference. I just feel so gloomy and listless. And because of the sub zero temps I've had to pull all the blinds and drapes to help keep the cold out and the warm in. It makes the house dim, of course, so that doesn't help my mood any. I'm a little ashamed to admit it but my Christmas tree is still up and ON to help brighten the house a little, lol. I find it also helps to celebrate all the little holidays this time of year. I do Chinese New Year, Ground Hog's Day, Valentine's Day, what ever, just to bring some cheer into the house. I totally hate football but I'm throwing a Super Bowl party for the family because it's something to do. (Hmmm...I probably really need to get the tree down before then, you think?) I'll do what ever it takes to get through the next couple of months until spring!
Yes. I think your strategies, including the Christmas tree, are excellent. Sunlight, every other kind of light, exercise, company, and activity all help. I was rarely this bad in Washington state, which is even further north than where I live now, and I think that having to get up daily and go to work in a well-lit office helped considerably. Could you install brighter lights in your home? There's no possibility of a sun room?
I teach a weekly English class to two seven year olds, and even though it's great--good children, good mothers, and I do a good job too--every week I dread preparing the class and then going and teaching it. Even though it's a lot of fun. It's my sluggish aversion to mental and physical activity, yet that activity, and the social contact, are exactly what I need. I always feel MUCH better after a class.
Spring is on the way!

It's been excessively cold all over NA, I think. We've had temperatures consistently below -15, Celsius, though at that level I don't think there's much difference. Just looked it up - that's 5F. It's been weeks! So depressing. One thing I'm doing to combat the winter blues is winter sowing. I've covered my patio furniture with bottles and flats and whatever else I can put seeds in and it does help me feel more connected to the garden and the nicer weather.
Seil, this is my first year trying it. But the folks over on the winter sowing forums and the Canadian gardening forums are super-supportive and helpful. I've been pretty careful about my choices and I have a lot of hope. If they don't come up I'll definitely be disappointed, but in the meantime, it's nice to dream of my garden-to-be!
I sow hollyhock seed in fall, winter, early spring--any time. I always have hocks coming up in waves. When one bunch is past its prime, another group comes along and starts blooming. I do the same with coneflower and rudbeckia, though they reseed themselves well, as do the hocks. Diane
Wintersowing in milk jugs, here, too. Gardening of any kind when it's below zero outdoors, snowing and blowing, is a good thing. I garden indoors, too, with a four shelf lighted rack filled with blooming African violets. In fact, I accidentally found help for my winter depression because I set up this rack in my bedroom a few years back in an effort to keep the plants safe from my toddler grandson. I have the lights on a timer and found that unlike an alarm clock, when the lights click on and bathe the room in artificial "sunshine" I am wide awake and ready to take on the world. In fact, in my new house the AV's on the rack are in the room at the end of the hall, next door to my bedroom. The doors to both rooms always stand open (I live alone now) and even though it is not direct light on my bed, if still feels like "dawn." No more hiding under the covers, hitting the snooze. I feel just as cheerful in winter as I do in high summer when the sun is up well before 6 a.m. (All that's missing is a few bird calls!)
I know everyone can't fit a plant rack in their bedroom (nor would they want one) but it does work for me! :-)

Staff were bilingual and friendly. Easy check-in/out. Clean and comfortable.
Not enough pillows. Restaurant was mediocre. Had a 13th floor.
Beautiful hotel in the middle of many restaurants and shopping areas. Room was comfortable and spacious. Bilingual staff was very helpful. Check in and out was very simple and hassle free. Would recommend to business travelers and leisure.

The elephant under the bed is that the Sukhoi company of Russia is now making much better fighter planes - the SU-30 and the SU-35. While US chauvanists will deny this, the SU-30 is certainly better than the F15, and is probably at least equal to the F22, while the SU-35 is streets ahead of both. The planes manufactured by BAE and EADS are not in the same ballpark.
I don't want to argue this point with the various jingoists, but the SU's have much greater range, right, much greater maneuverability, right, probably an edge on speed, right, and better weaponry. What? Yes, the SU's weapons are laser guided from the cockpit, un-jammable and lethal. The last I heard, the US equipment is not. "But we have better pilots". Wrong.
Probably this is the main underlying motive for the merger. But the US, British, German and French companies have a lot of catching up to do. They have let the reins slip, and the old technology horse has dropped to a canter.
"While US chauvanists will deny this"
"I don't want to argue this point with the various jingoists"
Way to preemptively dismiss any opinion contrary to yours AND excuse yourself from any obligation to justify or elaborate your assertions.
What's funnier is that you think it somehow makes your comment seem more authoritative. While arrogant, insecure, zealous hypocrites might disagree with me -- and I don't care to have this argument with them -- I think it makes you sound more like a 20-year-old.
Also, judging by your comment history, the only war machinery–obsessed zealot here is you. I think you should realize that some TE readers (most of us) are over 25 and have no interest in getting into a "my country makes the better fighter jets" dick-measuring contest.
Mr Enders is not interested in national jobs politics in the European Union -- Mr Enders wants to take that German-French coal agreement to the next level of trust, towards true European union, integration.
Mr Enders has a European Dream that European leaders are not yet ready for. In other words, nationalism trumps union.
With all of the main stream news media's reporting about BAE's alleged lack of non-defence aerospace & hi-technology products and services driving its attempted takeover by EADS (and EADS' mainly civilian products and services), there is an astonishing paucity of comment regarding:
1) BAE's existing, highly successful- globally exported- civilian products and services;
2) BAE's leading edge expertise in civilian products' research and development...
If EADS takes over BAE, BAE's civilian products and services would be re-branded as EADS' products and services...
As part of rationalization of an EADS into which BAE had been subsumed, research and development of and manufacturing of what were previously BAE's civilian products would be at high risk of being moved out of the UK: how would this benefit the United Kingdom and UK plc???
Instead of being taken over and dismembered, BAE would benefit from competent international corporate partners- and UK govt financial support- to further develop and market its civilian products and services, particularly those to do with green technologies and public/commercial transit:
Roderick V. Louis,

I've defamiliarized myself with the goings on of BAE through ignorance. I believe that the 146 was one of their largest fully integrated commercial programmes. This programme was ended in the aviation downturn in the aftermath of 9/11. Further, BAE sold its stake in Airbus to EADS in 2006 - meaning EADS took over the British wing building business, which, if I'm not wrong, was by far the largest commercial interest BAE had for the preceding 3 decades.
EADS may or may not be better off with a different deal. What I am sure of though is that any other potential deal will be sunk by the same corporate governance issues that threaten the BAe deal.
As it is, and as Germany in particular seems to want it, EADS will carry on as a dinosaur that at some point will become extinct.
"Conservative MPs have demanded that David Cameron, Britain's prime minister, veto the merger."
Aren't these very same 'Conservative' MPs the ones advocating 'free trade' in other countries?
BAE should be bought by Lockheed Martin or Boeing.
And whichever one does not buy BAE should buy EADS.
As usual the apparent German like of open and competitive business takes a hit. It is fine for German companies to monopolize other EU countries industries but not for a UK company company to become in anyway dominant. Tired of the Franco German wall building in Europe. Equally as tired of the UK backing off rather than taking them on and garnering support for Europe to go in a different direction. The UK is dismantling government involvement in industry, correctly But others are not.
BAE should look to aggressively purchase some European defence companies instead. Like Rheinmettal or Dassault. It is unfortunate that the Franch and the Germans love European integration up until the point it impacts their national stance and industries.

BAE has little choice. It decided to pocket the profit when it sold its shares in Airbus a few years ago, hoping that is future would be almost entirely outside of Europe. That has turned out to be the wrong bet. If the merger doesn't go through then there will be other suitors but BAE will not survive as an independent entity.
Governments around the world reserve their right to meddle in "strategically" important industries of which defence is the most prominent. Nevertheless, the EU has done more than most to try and level the playing field.
Interesting comment. Refreshing change from youtube!!!
I think BAE is in much better shape than most defence contractors in Europe. It is much more global and is the biggest non US contractor to the US military. It needs to find growth elsewhere granted. But in reality it is heavily involved in Airbus anyway. The merger would be a sensible commercial way for EADS to become a more rounded company and perhaps less likely to lose bidding on US military contracts such as thr Hercules replacement and for BAE to diversify. But revert to my earlier comment about Germany and France. it is not strategic defence but nationalism in disguise. Protecting "national" champios which should have stopped years ago. Neither will benefit from the merger being called off. Liked your comment though.
One for Johnson here:
"defence and aerospace companies" vs. "the defense operations"
I think the "se" vs. "ce" given its inconsistency is one of the sillier changes introduced in American English. Not that I don't think there is room for improvement in our orthography but it would need less, er, sitting on the "fense"!
ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French defens, from late Latin defensum (neuter), defensa (feminine), past participles of defendere 'defend.'
Don't see a lot of "-ce" in the root words. Do you?...
Rather than allowing BAE to be cannibalized by EADS- with BAE's currently not-highly/un-profitable divisions substantially shrunk/closed/moved to France/Germany- wouldn't a more appropriate strategy be for BAE, the UK govt- & reps of UK aerospace business associations- to be strategizing how BAE could better balance its portfolio of products and services by acquiring UK- and overseas- non-military- IE: civilian- companies???
Roderick V. Louis,
Vancouver, BC, Canada
BAE's BOARD OF DIRECTORS: MISSING IN ACTION!!!
Where are BAE Board of Directors' (and subcommittee) reports setting out potential future strategic directions for BAE??
Where are BAE Board of Directors' (and subcommittee) reports identifying companies that would be appropriate for BAE to acquire and/or enter into joint ventures, partnerships and mergers- as a means of BAE 'diversifying' its saleable products and services??
If BAE being subsumed into EADS has been adjudged by BAE's board to be the best of available options for the company- in other words- 'plan A', then what were BAE's board's recommended 'plan b', 'plan c', 'plan d', etc??
What were the terms of reference/criteria on which BAE board's reports' (if they exist), were based, IE: was short term monetary profits/financial gain for BAE executives the main objective??
Was there any UK national interest criteria underpinning BAE's board of directors' company-diversification strategies, and long-term objectives' reports (if any exist)???
Roderick V. Louis,
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Is everyone in the UK government stupid enough to take the position that there is only 1 way to correct the strategic blunder of BAE selling its 20% stake in EADS-owned Airbus in 2006??
If BAE wants more revenues to come from commercial- not military- aerospace ventures, why doesn't BAE just purchase 25%- 45% of EADS thereby avoiding EADS obtaining ownership of BAE through the currently proposed- misleadingly termed- 'merger' of the 2 companies??
Alternatively, why doesn't the UK govt purchase 25%- 45% of EADS- appointing BAE (or another UK firm such as Babcock or Cobham)- as its proxy re future EADS issues??
Why is the UK printing hundreds-of-billions of 'quantitative easing' money - just to bail-out previously unethical banks??
Roderick V. Louis,
Vancouver, BC, Canada
What does it have to do with the UK government?
BAE systems is a publicly listed company - they can do what the hell they want (just like Tescos, ARM or HSBC). And as with all publicly listed companies, they don't really have a nationality - they serve their international shareholders & creditors (with a little bit of management capture from time to time).
Well, pretty much...
Frankly, the French and German governments should sell off their stakes in EADS, and let private shareholders decide whether they think a merger can add value.
Public listed but getting prefare treatment by americans because brittish. The arms industry is work with government. When i was a child my dad breifly had an interest in an arms factory in the midlands i went there once and got a handgrende out the reject skip when i was 7 was my most real looking toy however i digress.
Arms indurtry works close with government and forgein office for contract even to get permisons to sell and deals its join affair. So to suddenly pretend this is just a private company when suits is sightly mis leading. As when bae getting these benefits cant not see how someone can be a private company like tesco in defense sector. If bae thinks its like tesco american not trust proberly did not say sorry i am private company when getting the benefits lol if it lose trust of end up shut down as no sales licences held up etc
There is implicend agreements etc would imagine. Cant be in defense industry if think like tesco as arms, why the government keeps support in some arms manufature when does not like owning parts of banks or car factor etc. It seems nievity to consider to like tesco or even banks that also work with government
EADS isn't a real business - it's a politician's plaything, as the recent maneuvering demonstrates, and should be dismissed as such.
None of us can take politicians seriously. Why should business leaders be expected to pretend to be so?
When they own the company perhaps it makes sense ?#
Problem number 1 - solution: privatise.
> Problem number 1 - solution: privatise.
The British rail network is a shining example for how awesomely privatization works, isn't it?
So therefore all privatisation must be bad? Rolls Royce has done incredibly well since privatisation.
I'm not saying privatization per se is bad.
But what does rile me a bit is the mindless "free market über alles" cure all for each and all economic ills.
There is such a thing as a natural monopoly. For example: it really doesn't make sense to build parallel rail lines or distribute water via three competing pipes.
Governments, at least in countries with low graft, are often quite well suited to run such natural monopolies. The main reason being the profit motive
While such services should be self sustaining (not in each and every case, but let's keep this simple) there is no temptation to keep investment low to maximize profits. I'd argue that infrastructure investment is better when there's no profit motive involved. At least I can say that quite confidently for the place where I live.
Rolls Royce, on the other hand, manufactures a highly specialized product (and provides more and more highly specialized services). I agree that - generally speaking - this is better run by a private company.
In addition and overall: resources are probably - again generally speaking - better distributed in a private entity.
But just mindlessly blathering on about the evils of the state and the virtues of private entrepreneurship does not necessarily lead to the best solutions for society.

Wild violets
Does anything exist that will actually kill wild violets? Nothing I have tried works. Not even Roundup. Not even horticultural vinegar. They'll yellow and look sickly for a few weeks, but not completely die, then come back like they were never sprayed.
I've tried weed killers (Bayer Advanced All in One Weed Killer for Lawns and Ortho Weed B Gone Max) that state on the label that they will kill wild violets, and it hasn't happened yet.
I hate those damn weeds! They spread by seeds, and by their tuberous roots. I had some grub damage, and the grass in that area was dead, but guess what survived just fine? Wild violets! When I dug them up, they had grubs feeding in their roots, but they were still going strong!
If I only had a few, I'd just dig them all up. However, they've spread all over my lawn, and I want to find something to get rid of them. Is there such a product sold???
My wife has fond memories of picking wild violets from her lawn and giving them to her mother. When the wild violets appeared here our first year, she expressly forbade me from ever doing anything to harm them, much less kill them. Is there any chance you can convince your wife they're desirable in the lawn?
I have read some lists about violets. The only person who was happy with his eradication used mechanical means. He pulled up his entire garden to get at the dense mat of violet roots just under the surface. Then he discarded all of them and started his lawn over again.
Repeated roundup might do it. Repeat until they are gone.
One oddball thing you might try - I've heard of this being used against nutgrass but never anything else. Mix a cup of molasses or table sugar in a gallon of water and pour it in one spot. Then watch that spot for a few weeks and see if there is any difference in the weed or the grass. At this point you are probably willing to try anything.
Don't mind them in the lawn, but they can become a downright nuisance in the flower beds. All I do is pull the little critters out by handfuls, but the larger clumps are just so darn beautiful that I don't have the heart to. Nothing like laying down a layer of wonderful compost mulch and in a couple of days see all these tiny violet babies smilin' up at ya'! Yikes.
I use Roundup when there's an invasion between my stones in the courtyard.
Wild violets, and creeping charlie, should be treated with the 'Smith & Wesson' method. Smith & Wesson, the revolver people. You have seen that 'humorous' sign, on fences or trees, that says 'Tresspassers Will Be Shot. Survivors Will Be Shot Again.'
Treat wild violets, and creeping charlie, the same way. Weed B Gone works just fine, but here's the deal: you have to do it EVERY seven days. Spray every Saturday. There will be some survivors, even though it looks like it's dying. Hit it again. If it's raining on Saturday, do it on Sunday. But you have to understand that violets, and creeping charlie, are quite different from clover, or dandelions, and considerably more durable. Shoot it again. Every seven days. You'll know when to quit. (But you may NOT quit before four applications, a week apart).
Last year I planted a dense shade mix of grass to try to overtake the violets. I was mainly trying to keep the soil from eroding on a shady slope. I watered and fertilized and the grass was looking good, then that drought hit, most of the grass died and the violets took over like crazy. Now the violets are my erosion control. This is a lesson in what not to do. I couldn't beat them, so now they are my friends. They grow better than anything in the shade, control my erosion and are extremely drought tolerant. I just wished they bloomed longer.
Because one of my neighbours decided to befriend and not treat these hardy invasive plants I and many of my neighbours no longer have grass after last years drought. This plant will over take any plant in it's path choking it out. I would never have suggested chemicals a few years ago but today I am all for it's use on these plants. If my one neighbour would have done this when they first appeared in her garden it would have been a less severe treatment, environmentally speaking, than several of us all using chemicals to kill them off in our yards.
Turflon ester has been effective for me. I have drastically reduced those darn wild violets, but not eliminated them. Turflon ester will kill bermuda grass in the areas you spray, but bermuda is so resilient, it quickly spreads from surrounding areas to fill in.
The violets in my yard/neighbrhood have been there since, at least, the 20's. The neighbor to the right of me has lived in his house since it was built in '28 and remembers them always being there. Unfortunately, the retired gentleman to the left of me has had a professional lawn care service spraying his yard/fairway for the last 5 years and he regularly hand sprays the violets on the boarder of our yards; making me feel like a horrible neighbor. I have tried various products on the violets every year with no success. In fact, they seem to get healthier. This year will be different. I rented a ditch witch and cut a trench around the entire perimeter of my property. Today, is judgement day for the violets. They WILL die in a controlled burn. I feel like George must have felt, as he took that last walk with Lenny in, "Of Mice and Men"....and a bit like the groundskeeper in Caddyshack. What's the worst that can happen?
I have had success against wild violets for over 10 years, although because I am surrounded by a woods that is full of them on three sides, they always make an effort to re-establish themselves. I get lots of practice! Some states allow Confront (which contains both Trichlopyr and Chlopyralid) and others don't --- Chlopyralid is persistent in compost piles. Contront is the gold-standard against wild violets though. Products containing 8% Trichlopyr work well if you're persistent (that's what I have to use). I hit them every 10 days, even when they're hurting. I have found that mechanical attacks on them can actually spread them, where I live. Don't even bother with WBG Max which has 1.5% Trichlopyr - you'll be able to hear the violets laugh at you. 8% Trichlopyr can be found in Ortho's CHickweed, Clover and Oxalis Killer and also Ortho's Brush-B-Gone. The same product works on Ground Ivy too. Persistence is the key. If you use Confront, keep treated materials out of your compost pile.
I think clopyralid is off the market. Certainly it is off the homeowner market. The problem is that it does not degrade for years under normal soil conditions. It can even be eaten by livestock and it persists in their manure and in compost made from the manure. It is the herbicide that keeps on going. The problem with that is that compost made from manure eaten by cattle that ate grass sprayed with clopyralid will kill trees, shrubs, and almost all plants except grass for years and years.
However Brush-B-Gone is easy to find and has no clopyralid in it. I've not heard anything terrible about trichlopyr and I've been listening.
I have had more than a few battles with Charlie in the grass. Weedbe gone has a blend for it. Hit it every week for a month. In between hitting the ones you know about, take a walk around mid week and see if you missed any (you will be able to tell) hit those new ones too.
If you have a lot of this stuff you will need to buy a 2 gallon sprayer and mix the stuff up in bulk. Its better than bending over each time you want to spray and much cheaper too.
Regarding the Ortho Oxalis / Chickweed killer - has anyone seen it for sale recently at HD?
Based on other internet research that informed me about the "wonders" of Trichlopyr (sp?), it worked great. WBG that I applied this year (not the max, so it's a year+ old) - not so great - will need repeated applications. Tough to do though with a dog and 2 year old.
Which leads back to my original question - I haven't seen the Oxalis / Chickweek concentrate for sale in HD, nor in a Walmart the few times I can get to one.
Thanks for the advice. I stopped in a local garden center this morning, and lo and behold, there was the clover/oxalis killer. Maybe they were just out last month when I was there - serves me right for not taking the time to ask.
I did a comparison between the clover/oxalis and the poison ivy killer (formerly known as brush-b-gon), and of course, you were right - 8% on each. No other active ingredients. So what's the difference? The PI killer has all sorts of overspray warnings (not suitable for lawn use - non-discriminate herbicide, etc.), whereas the Ch/C/O killer only says not to use it on St. Aug and I think Bermuda (whoops - sorry Mr. Bermuda, didn't mean to make you stop invading from my neighbors yard, I'll really be more careful where I spray - oops, sorry, trigger finger spasm, didn't mean it that time either...).
So more Ortho marketing shenanigans, or a different formulation that isn't being marked/labeled appropriately? Only difference I could find is the application rate (1 oz/gal/200 sf vs. 4 oz/gal/100 sf (dense brush) or 4 oz/gal/400 sf (light brush). (added in previous sentence after additional research but before posting, so I may have answered my own question, but decided to leave in links below for anyone interested)

Label 2: http://www.scotts.com/smg/products/ortho/weed_killers/poison_ivy_and_tough_brush/pdf/PITBConc_042009.pdf
Well, at least the fertilizer I use is organic.
Ahem! I assure you I was never whispered to by that nice garden center owner 10 years ago that Brush-B-Gon was good for Wild Violet control, and legal for lawns in some states. It just wasn't "registered" in my state for that use, although it was registered for brush killing. Some accidentally fell on Wild Violets on my property and the violets died with no damage to nearby grass. Phew!!! Unfortunately, I couldn't share my learning on lawn forums for fear of doing 10-20 years of hard time for unlawful weed murder.
I'm like you - I shake my head that great marketing gets away with what they do. I still can't believe that Scott's gets away with selling grass seed that is only 48% grass seed (by calling fluff coatings "special science"). And the EZ-Seed stuff is just 8% seed. I guess people that don't read labels deserved to get fleeced.
Reviving this thread. So I have a backyard that is over-run with this pesky weed. I had thought about spraying the yard with RoundUp. Concern described below has prevented this, though.
Based on what I'm seeing above, RU won't work. Between that and one other small (or rather large, actually) issue I don't know what to do to get rid of the wild violets. I have a VERY large silver maple in the back yard. Roots running along the surface of the lawn. I assume that anything I do apply is going to harm the tree.
Any suggestions?
What I found that will work is a product called Spurge Power. Not cheap stuff, but it won't hurt your tree. The best time to spray is late March when they're first coming out, because that's when they'll be most vulnerable. Plus, you want to get them before they flower, because then they're spreading seed. It will likely take multiple sprayings, and you'll have to do it for the next few years as seed germinates.
What works best of all is digging them up. You can't just pull them by hand b/c they have tuberous roots that will stay in the ground and resprout. You need to use a tool. They are a pain, and are quite prolific!
The problem with wild violets is that they are a woody plant, unlike your average weed, so it takes a combination including brush killer to kill them. To kill Wild Violets, mix 4 oz. of Brush-B-Gon with 1 oz. Weed-B-Gon into a gallon of water. Spray in the evening with no rain in the forecast using a handpump sprayer. This won't harm your grass. Also, always bag weeds to make sure you're not putting seeds right back into the ground for the following year.
There are now numerous treatments for Wild Violets. CCO Killer. Imprelis. Certainty (not for TTTF). Tenacity. You're not going to find Tenacity, Certainty or Imprelis at the big-box stores though. This isn't a fair fight anymore - we now have the advantage.
Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954, cofounder of the American Horticultural Society and one of the premier horticulturalists of his era, was once asked by a gardening enthusiast, "Oh Professor Bailey, what do I do about dandilions?" to which Bailey replied, "Madam, you must learn to love them!" That advice seems good for wild violets.
Mystery solved. I've been struggling with wild violets for nearly a decade in two different homes in Virginia. I've been pulling them out by hand...reseeding every year...using copious amounts of Roundup...nothing ever worked. Until now. See, God recently blessed me with an invasion of nutgrass/nutsedge. I found a new product called Ortho Nutsedge Killer available at Home Depot. They only sell it in small spray, 24 ounce containers. When I sprayed on the nutsedge, I noticed the following day that the wild violets looked worse. I sprayed on again on the wild violets - and voila, it killed them and not the grass! At least it hasn't killed the grass so far. I'm delighted and finally at peace.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ortho's Nutsedge Website
Interesting thread. Like mentioned before, Tenacity, is labeled for it. Methylated Seed Oil is an important adjuvant, I believe. Quinclorac is also rated for it.
I was talking with another lawn care pro a couple of weeks ago and he said that Imprelis totally (I think in a big way) wiped out the wild violets in just one application. That was when Imprelis was getting popular. He had some significant tree damage on that property (it's quite large), and obviously Imprelis is out of the question now, but maybe they will figure out a way to reformulate it.
Glad the Ortho stuff worked for you!
I had no idea that wild violets were considered invasive. I have always loved them.
Bought some violet, white and yellow plants and white seeds.
We have a lawn care service that killed all of our grass so I wanted some thing would survive.
I have such great memories that include violets.
My wedding bouquet was white violets

Voting Rights Act Ruling a Setback for Our Great Democracy

June 25, 2013
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Shelby County v. Holder, ruling that Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) is unconstitutional. Project Vote Executive Director Michael Slater issued the following statement:
"Today's ruling is a significant setback for voting rights in our great democracy. The Voting Rights Act remains one of the most important achievements of the civil rights movement, and for almost 50 years has been a vital tool to protect real voters from losing their right to cast a ballot.

Minnesota Lawmakers Inch Forward on Voting Rights But More Work Needs to be Done, say Voting Rights Groups
May 20, 2013
St. Paul, Minn. – The Minnesota House passed modest reforms to Minnesota's election systems, but the ACLU-MN and many members of the Voting Rights Coalition—a nonpartisan partnership of civil and voting rights advocates—caution that more work is necessary to make Minnesota's election systems more convenient and accessible. The groups call on all Minnesota legislators to support true election reform in the next session. The Minnesota Senate is expected to pass the same reforms before the close of the session today.

I bought this as a gift for my granddaughter. She loves it and her twin boys like to crawl on it because it is so soft. I wondered about the quality when it was so inexpensive but it looks like I paid twice as much for it. rascal4
We love this rug for the price. The color is much darker than appears on the site, but it still works for us and is better to hide kid messes anyway. Love the feeling of it underfoot.
The color of this rug is much browner than depicted in the picture. We expected it to be a dark beige with a light beige square detail. It was brown and the square trim is not a different color, just a different weave in the rug. It also shed something white (like snow) which I guess was the bottom of the rug. We returned it. Overstock was wonderful and very helpful with the return which we greatly appreciated.
The rug was great. It lay flat and did not shed. It was soft and pile was thick.
This rug was a terrific purchase. It is very thick and soft - easily appears to be a more expensive rug. Looks terrific over hardwood.
Very Nice thick rug, loved the color and the backing,well made. Pretty thick giving as a gift and they liked floral patterns, a little to modern for their taste.the product is beautiful in the way it catches the different hews of color.
We purchased this rug along with two smaller ones after we put a hardwood floor in our bedroom. The rugs are perfect on cool mornings, soft and warm. They complement the room and are very attractive. So soft our dog often prefers the rug to her bed! One caution, the color is not quite as golden as pictured, and the pile accounts for the tone variation, as the rug is actually all one color. Fair price, very satisfied.
very pleased with my purchase. it looks great in our tv room.
I had been searching for the right rug forever. I finally found this one at a price I was willing to pay. Ordering was easy, and the shipment came within just a few business days. Very pleased. Love this rug. It's plush and rich in color. Really brings my room together.
Love, love, love this rug!! It is a beautiful beige color, and is super plush! It doesn't shed and overall is a great buy!

I'm a professor at U Michigan and lead a course on climate change problem solving. These articles often come from and contribute to the course.
By: Dr. Ricky Rood , 6:40 PM GMT on April 21, 2013
The Complete List: What Can I Do? (4)
This is the continuation of a series in response to the question, "What can I do about climate change?" Links to the previous entries are listed at the end.
So far, I have introduced the common, easy answer: to be more efficient in the use of energy. I listed the places where we can improve efficiency and in short order reduce expense: insulation improvements in building, fuel efficiency in transportation, elimination of standby losses, and more efficient lighting, air conditioning and water heating. In addition to this common answer, I wrote about a couple of issues that I see discussed less often: barriers, overcoming barriers and how individuals can organize and influence communities, governments and businesses in ways to improve efficiency. My goal is to show that we can develop small, organized efforts that have the potential to grow into large impacts in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. We don't have to wait on federal and global policy, which by all evidence remains far in the future. (EPA Delays Emission Regulations for New Power Plants (from Washington Post), Clean Energy Efforts Stalled (International Energy Agency, from UPI))
In this entry, I look beyond efficiency and provide a list to help organize how to think about reduction of greenhouse gas emissions both individually and collectively.
1. Efficiency
2. Food
3. Alternative Energy
4. Waste Management
5. Behavior, Conservation and Reduced Use
6. Fuel Waste Management
7. Forestry Management
8. Soil Management
This is my list, and I have formed it over the years from a number of sources. For example, if you revisit the figure in the first blog of the series you can pick out these categories. Another place you can look to see these categories is in the influential paper byPacala and Socolow, who argued in 2004 we could, in fact, adequately reduce emissions with existing technology. My list is tuned a bit towards individuals and perhaps a little closer to everyday language. A point: Pacala and Socolow make a convincing argument that we can do a lot with existing technology. To make that happen would be a matter of organizing, breaking down barriers, and changing behavior and practice. For individuals, the fact that there is a realizable possibility for global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions should be encouraging and motivating. It is a matter of providing a bridge between the individual and the greater impact of collective behavior.
I have arranged the list, from 1 – 8, in a way that I imagine might be most accessible to individuals. I place efficiency at the top of the list because not only is it intuitive, but it has the possibility to cost less. The second item on the list is food, which will be the subject of the next blog. If you take a slice of our energy use, land use and greenhouse gas emissions through our methods of food production and food provision, then there is opportunity for significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The third item on the list is alternative energy. Many of us in the United States now have the opportunity to make the decision to buy our home energy from sources such as wind and solar. There are choices in vehicles of electric, hybrid electric, natural gas, ethanol and biodiesel. The impact of these choices on climate change is not easy to determine. The fourth item on the list is waste management. There are, of course, personal decisions about what we buy and what and how we throw things away. Waste management is also a place where we can have a lot of influence in our communities and local governments. Globally, there are issues of industry-wide waste management that can have huge impacts. I have deliberately separated the waste associated with energy production, as item 7 on the list.
The remaining items on the list I will describe more in future entries. They are a bit more removed from the individual, although for sure, there are decisions that we make as individuals that directly matter to fuel waste and forestry and soil management. This is especially true if we think about our individual influence: for example, if you are a farmer, you make decisions that influence both a lot of land as well as the people who buy your wares.
The final point I will make in this blog is that the items in the list are not independent of each other. For example, decisions that we make about what we eat will have implications for soil management, forestry management and fuel waste management. What you do with husks of your corn and your moldy bread matters directly to waste management. And all the items have something to do with individual behavior and with collective behavior of individuals – good stewardship of the climate has to become a natural part of the way we behave.
Links to the Series
Setting Up the Discussion Deciding to do something, definition of mitigation and adaptation, and a cost-benefit anchored framework for thinking about mitigation
Smoking, Marriage and Climate Behavioral changes and peer pressure
Organizing and Growing Individual Efforts A little detail on efficiency and thinking about how individuals can have more impact than just that of a single person
The Complete List Eight categories of things we can do to reduce greenhouse gases
We Are What We Eat Food and agriculture and greenhouse gas emissions

As of today our trip includes Munchen , Garmisch, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, the Black Forest train ride , Lake Konstantz , and Mainz to do a Rhine river cruise.

I am working on my family genealogy of the Pfau family, who lived in Schopfloch and several were mayors of the city in 1700s and early 1800s. but my genealogist says there are 3 Schopflochs in Germany. In my family history it describes it as a town "in southern Germany, in the Schwabisch Alb region" The genealogist says these are the three but I can't tell which is the one described in the family records. Do any of you know?
her quotes:
Which one? There are 3 in Germany:
72296 Schopfloch near Freudenstadt (phone book full of PFAUs) I suppose it is this one?
73252 Schopfloch between Stuttgart and Ulm (Württemberg) (some PFAUs)
91626 Schopfloch near Ansbach/Nürnberg (Bavaria) (no PFAUs) my knowledge of German geography is poor but can any of you tell me which is the most likely the one my family describes as southern germany near Schwabische Alb? I'm guessing it is this one but I can't find any map to let me know there is a Schopfloch in this region. Does anyone know? thanks so much . Fred Lorey

Hi all -
I will be traveling to Bonn in August for a graduate program and afterwards I'd like to travel to Copenhagen. I know there are trains from Germany to Denmark and I am looking for suggestions on which route is the most direct.
Many thanks in advance!
My wife and I will move with our 2 kids (6 and 4) to the region as I will work in Darmstadt. We live in Germany since 3 years but in the North. I am looking for options and cities like Heppenheim, Weinheim, seemed interesting from a first look, pictures and landscapes. Besides finding a nice house in a quiet neighborhood we are interested to know about schools in the area, as we may live closer to where a good/recommended school is located. Our kids are going to German school and my son starts Grundschule next Aug/Sep. Our daughter is still in kindergarten. Any comment, tip, recommendation is very welcomed ! EC
We'll be staying in Munich during May and have hired a car to visit Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace. Our plan is to leave Munich early. Not sure yet on which to visit first. Any recommendations for good restaurants around either of these for breakfast/lunch?
I am going to visit my girlfriend next saturday.
I want a quite place like some green place on a Mountain or any place where less people come.
I am going back to Hamburg in mid-May, for 5 days, having been persuaded by two former work colleagues (who have no German and have never visited Hamburg) to act as translator, organiser and guide. So this may be the first of a few questions...
Last time I walked through the Elbtunnel, it was being refurbished and ther were no cars. I assume the work is now complete (correct?) and that we would be sharing the tunnel with cars. Anyway, has anyone any suggestions for what to do once you emerge from the tunnel ion the southern bank of the Elbe? Last time, I took in the view of the city across the river, walked past the various works entrances to Blohm + Voss, and looked for a memorial to the prisoners from Neuengamme who had worked as forced-labourers in the shipyards (I never found it. Does it exist? Where exactly is it?), My main question: Is there any 'route' back to 'central' Hamburg, involving a reasonable walk and/or public transport, other than a stroll back through the tunnel?
I would like to book online tickets to the opera/theatre at ZKV munich. I am using the website
It appears that there is no English translation on this site.
Is there any way I can make bookings where the pages are translated to English?
How can I travel from Dusseldorf airport to Aachen and vice versa? How long would the journey be?
The Bugatti Type 41 Royale Binder Coupé De Ville of 1935 is owned by the Volkswagen-company and it is travelling a lot from one museum to the other. Maybe somebody here knows where to find it at the moment or in the future ?
I could not find it on the list in the Wolfsburg-museum of VW !
Staying in Nuremberg, what is the best way to get to Rothenburg ob der Tauber? Are there tours we can take from Nuremberg?
We are staying in Nuremberg for 2 days and would like to visit the Eagles Nest. Are there any tours from Nuremberg? What is the best way to get there?
Hi. This will be my first time to travel Europe. I'll be staying in Hemer for 6 weeks. I only have weekends to explore Germany and hopefully to travel some neighboring countries like Netherlands, France and Belgium. Do you think it's possible considering the limited time I have? Please suggest places I must see, and the travel time if possible, and I'll do my research from there. Thanks in advance :)
Looking at my Bah on-line ticket reservation from Frankfurt to Salzburg under "Reservierung," which i bought a reservation along with the 24.5 euro fare.it indicates;
2 Sotzplatze. Wg. 268, Pl. 25 26 2 Fesnster, Abteil, Nichtraucher.
What part of this is the coach and seats? Most European train tickets are pretty clear. Am I missing something? Thanks.
