Raised bed garden in N. Cal zone 9
It has been a while since I have had a really successful garden and I want to remedy that situation.
I am in Roseville, CA which is zone 9.
My raised bed that I have to work with is 8' X 16' and has basically a full sun exposure.
I am looking for recommendations as to what to plant and when.
I will be growing some tomatos, squash and peppers for sure but I would like some ideas of other stuff to grow too.
I am interested in spinach, green beans, cucumbers... whatever.
I would really like to try and have a continuing abundance of fresh vegies to harvest from spring through fall.
All ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
Check with your local Master Gardeners - they publish vegetable planting lists for Placer County. You can also call their help line and discuss your specific site, soil, etc.
Remember that most people can't reach 4' (1/2 the width of your bed) so you likely have to leave the middle unplanted.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Placer County Vegetable Guide
A path up the middle would definitely be useful. You might want to check out square foot gardening for ideas, along with your local Master Gardener group. Plant what you like to eat, and learn which vegetables are cool season and warm season. You might want to consider strawberries, too. Swiss chard is super easy to grow. Be sure to put your tallest plants to the north so they don't shade the lower growing plants.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Square Foot Garden
You're a little lower than I am, and my last frost date is April 15th. However, up here we always seem to get hit with either frost a week later than that, or else hail two weeks later. I recommend getting a roll of the light Agribon from Groworganic.com, (just up the road in Grass Valley) and covering everything for three weeks after the last frost date.
As already mentioned, 8 feet is pretty wide, so you'll want a path up the middle. If you're still building, I'd suggest giving yourself at least a 2 foot rise, with a 6~8" board across the top. That gives you a place to sit while weeding and picking, instead of having to bend over or work on your knees.
Also, remember that the plants tend to hand out the sides as well. I thought a 4 foot spacing between my 4x8 beds would be plenty, but once things get going, I'm down to about 2 feet, before I start getting wet from brushing against the plants.
All that said, my tomatoes and cukes from the greenhouse go out in 5 weeks. Beans will get direct seeded a couple weeks later.
Hey, thanks for all the responses!
Very good advice on the size of the bed. I built the bed probably 16 years ago, I wish I had done it differently for sure.
So this year I took out the sides as some of the boards were rotting and a couple of the posts had rotted through completely.
I did check out that square foot gardening and I may implement that sometime in the future. I just happened to be pretty far behind in starting so I wanted to get right on it.
I am definitely interested in high density gardening to get even more fresh food from it than I have in the past.
So all in all, it has gone pretty well.
My tomatoes are all indeterminates and I will be adding a stake for each one and allow 2 - 3 stems to grow and take off all suckers after that. I have done that in the past and had very nice crops.
I have two bean teepees and my first bean has broken through today. Inside the teepees I have spinach that has also just come through today.
By the tomatoes I also have strawberries and pepper plants. Two bells, a sweet yellow and a jalepeno.
I will be growing cucumber, zuchini, crooked neck and a yellow scallop squash in the cages.
I have also used a concrete wire to create a 7' long by 5' high "fence" that I have watermelon and honeydew that I will train onto the fence. Once I start getting fruit there, I will creat slings or hammocks if you will, to carry the weight.
All feedback is welcome!
Good growing everyone!
If your tomatoes are indeterminates than a stake will not be enough.
I suggest the square folding frames with stakes to hold them in place. The round ones only work if upside down otherwise they tip over. They need to be stakes too. Tomatoes can get 6 ft tall - at least in my yard.
Hi Penny,
Thank you for the feedback!
I have used many different cages in the past for tomatoes and I have had the most success with using stakes.
The are good sized stakes, 8' that will go in the ground 1.5 - 2'. So the will be about 6.5 feet tall.
If you only let 2 or 3 stems develop, it is plenty for a 6' plant. I agree they will easily get 6', most likely more like 8' !
I will post pictures as it develops. Keeps me motivated to have a great garden.
Nice going, Keith!
Re: the tomatoes - everyone develops a system that works for them and their location. I almost always choose indeterminate tomatoes but I cut them off about 2/3 of the way through the season to allow the plant to focus on the flowers/fruit already set. (I still get more tomatoes than we can eat so give many away to happy non-gardeners.) So the height never becomes a problem.
Hi ya,,
Wanted to see if you have some updated pictures of your garden. I have been following this thread, and am impressed with your efforts..
First time in ages that I absconded from planting in my beds. Missing the product it gave us. However, these long endless heat driven days have made me just want to escape it all....Just for this year!
I am in Elk Grove, we have a great community spot that I look at longingly and will be back at it..Maybe a winter planting. Or not LOL

White Eclipse Part 1 - A Chance Occurrence
It was another lonely night for a certain navy alicorn. Another night spent staring at the sky she had carefully crafted, knowing in her heart that nopony else was going to see it. They were always too busy working during the day and couldn't be bothered to stay up for even a few minutes to look at the sky and think "Wow, Luna certainly did a great job tonight."
Luna stared at her sky spitefully, filled to the brim with anger. Anger at the ponies, at her sister, at the world. She let all her anger spill out as she struck a nearby rock, only to be brought back two-fold when a fierce pain shot through her hoof.
"Ow, oh horse apples," she swore. "Do you wish to fully taste my wrath!?" she yelled as she let loose a bolt of lightning, leaving a nice smoking crater with a few pebbles scattered around it. Finally satisfied that it had gotten what it so richly deserved, she fell back to her haunches and stared up at her full moon, feeling worse than s

Most days, a pony wakes up thinking "What is today going to bring?" or "Did I remember my homework assignment?"
Today, I woke up thinking "Where the hay am I?"
Cracking my eyes open, I could feel the heat of the sun shining down on my coat, I could hear the birds chirping, and I could sense that I was not where I was when I went to bed.
Pulling myself up to my hooves, I looked down, just to be sure that they were the same as when I went to bed. As I stared down, I saw a strange emblem burned into the ground all around me. And that was just the start of the weirdness.
In addition to the splitting headache I had, I also had no clue who I was or how I got here. Classic amnesia. Perfect.
I trotted over to a nearby watering hole, just to be sure I was still me. Looking in the water, I was thankful that nothing had changed, at least as far as I knew. Wings, check. Slate gray coat, check. Brown mane and tail with crimson at the roots, check. My... oh hay, what do

A week had passed since Twilight's party, and things were going swimmingly for me. Turns out that my wing wasn't broken, only dislocated, so Fluttershy and I went down to Ponyville Urgent Care where they popped it back into place. It hurt like the dickens, but at least it was functional again.
I had been living a pretty idyllic life for the past week. I helped Fluttershy take care of her little animal friends, Rainbow Dash had gotten me a position on the weather team, and was teaching me how to properly control my flight, as well as some awesome tricks, and I had checked out a book from Twilight. It was a storybook, but I thought that I might as well bone up on Equestrian culture.
It was about noon, and I was just coming back from one of my training sessions with Rainbow Dash when I noticed a sign on the front door of the cottage, written in a tight, looping script.
"Went over to Rarity's for our spa day. Will be back at around 4:30 - Fluttershy"

Chapter 1
Twilight woke with a start, a loud crash emanating from afar. She moved quickly out the door, just in time to hear another horrible noise. Her eyes followed the trail of smoke in the sky, and she galloped for the ending point. Her natural curiosity was setting in, and her mind set up several possible options of what had occurred. She saw that she was not the only pony who was curious, the dawning sun allowing her to see that almost everypony was coming out of their homes, and headed in the same direction as her. Twilight reached a large crater just outside of town, her jaw hung open in shock. She was vaguely aware of others trotting around to see as well.
Fluttershy flew quickly past the unicorn, eager to help. Twilight slid down next to her, looking over the stallion that lay unconscious on the ground. As Fluttershy checked his pulse, Twilight saw that his deep blue coat was riddled wi

"Sir, I'm not sure I heard you correctly" I said, drying my tears and rising to my hooves, shivers wracking my body. Rarity stepped to the side, horror carved into her expression.
"While it pains me to say so, my hoof has been forced. You simply have to leave, at least until this matter is settled."
No. This isn't how it ends. This isn't supposed to happen! THIS ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!!
"You... you can't do this! I'm one of the only ponies who knows what the buck's going on! You need me to stop this guy!"
"Well, be that as it may, that is not for me alone to decide. We must hear from the princesses, as well as the rest of the senate."
"Celestia, please!" I cried out, "You can't let him do this."
She rose slowly, showing the gravity of the situation with each subtle movement. Her eyes hardened into a steely gaze, and truly looked the part of the ruler of Equestria.
"Evan," she said, in a strong yet caring voice, "You do strike me as a proper stallion and a true fr
Keeping a SmileWe all live life through the days trying to stay happy and keep our spirits high. Some days, we can't stay happy no matter how hard we try. There are two kinds of ponies in this world: those who try to stay happy through the hardest of times, and those who go out of their way to make others happy and put a smile on their face. The hardest decision is often finding it in your heart to make yourself happy and let those around fall into sadness, or you can be the one who sacrifices your own happiness to give it to others.Keeping a Smile3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

Rising up from below the horizon, the sun made its way into the sky, Celestia's beauty shining all over Equestria. It glimmered upon the flowing rivers, fish swimming happily up stream, eating as they went. Animals woke from Fluttershy's farm, stretching in the warm sun that flowed across their bodies and eating the food that had been freshly laid

While I was almost certain that we hadn't travelled far by the time I woke up, my surroundings told me that I was definitely not in Ponyville anymore. The gray stonework of whatever cell or dungeon I was in was just as uncomfortable to look at as the ropes binding my limbs together. The various chains and shackles lining the walls didn't give me a vote of confidence either.
I expected to see those robed cultists standing on either side of me as I looked around, and I was flummoxed to see that there were royal guards standing next to me, as well as behind me and at the door. These stallions were different, though. Instead of wearing the golden plate mail armor of Celestia's troops, these ponies had midnight blue, and they were all a very dull shade of gray instead of pristine white. Maybe they were special forces or something.
The door opened with a loud creak of its hinges, and a tall, hooded unicorn mare walked into the room. I couldn't exactly make out

A collective groan was the only response. One pony's slightly annoyed head rose out from behind the lay out of flower sandwiches and delectable still steaming cookies. "Seriously, Rainbow Dash, enough! Just eat!"
It was already beginning to near sundown and yet barely an entree had been touched. The five ponies were exhausted, sweating, laying splayed out over the picnic blanket. Just a usual occurrence when Rainbow Dash was in the mood for a nice race. Being that the fields outside the palace stretched forever, the race was tedious for some ponies.
"No more racin', Rainbow. I feel so dizzy now; I don't think I can take a bite 'a food." The golden earth pony rolled over onto her back, eyes staring intently at the passing clouds. "Clouds look mighty pretty today."
"Well, I liked 'em better when they made chocolate milk!" Pinkie Pie abruptly perked, and a dead silence hung over the group like a bitter fog. "What? Well, you gotta admit that they were tasty!" The pin

We both agreed to return to the restaurant first, just to be sure everypony else was alright before returning to the town proper. I was expecting to see utter destruction, so you can only imagine my relief upon seeing that the restaurant was unharmed.
We landed at a gallop and ran into the restaurant, much to the surprise of the patrons and staff alike. Everything looked pretty much as we had left it, and a calming wave of relief rushed over my mind. Fluttershy looked just about as relieved as I was that her friends were alright, at least for now.
The two of us trotted over to the corner table, where the others were just finishing up their desserts.
"Well, it's about time y'all got back," said Applejack. "We were thinking that y'all had gone and gotten lost. We were even goin' to send out a search party for you."

We had been roaming the forest for a good two hours, occasionally using the book as a reference, but we were nowhere close to where it said that the castle is. It was a full moon that night so there was plenty of light to read by, but the book was so outdated that we had trouble recognizing some of the landmarks it referenced. What's worse is that since it was nearly 1:00 in the morning, we were all getting tired.
Fluttershy was the first to voice her opinion, offering a plantive yawn and saying "Guys, I think that we should stop for the night."
"We've barely even gotten a mile into the forest," retorted Rainbow Dash, "Let's at least get another few hundred yards before we call it quits."
"Rainbow, Fluttershy's right. In retrospect, it was probably a bad idea to start our little voyage so late at night, but there's no sense beating our bodies up trying to go all night. That, and all of the monsters and whatnot are probably out and about, and the last thing that

It was raining. Again. For the third day straight.
You know, it's kinda weird how I only truly miss the weather team scheduling the storms when I have it taken away from me. I guess that's how it works for everything, I suppose.
I crawled blearily from the cave that I had been calling home for the last week or two, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and stretching my wings as I took in my surroundings. Not much to look at, but it was home. The rain filtering down through the trees, falling to the earth with big fat plops. The many layers of dead leaves and broken limbs that covered the ground. With a heavy sigh, I pulled my hood up over my head and set out to find some breakfast.
I was finding it harder and harder to keep track of time the longer I stayed out here. And while I wasn't malnourished, I did find that I had lost some weight out here, as well as putting on some lean muscle mass. I, overall, was probably in better shape than when I

The road down Lily Street was slick with rainwater, the Canterlot pegasi having decided to schedule a rainstorm for that evening. Not that it was really needed in a big city, but that was of no concern to the lone hooded figure walking in the nighttime gloom, illuminated only by the few street lamps that he happened to pass. He had business to attend to, and he wasn't going to let a little rain discourage him.
Through the darkness, he made out a large manor down at the end of the street, and knew that he was where he needed to be. It was resplendent, and showed that a pony of high stature lived there. The lone pony sauntered up the front door and rapped on it with three quick knocks.
A frantic scuffling of hooves from inside brought a smile to his face. It seems that his acquaintance had been kept on his hooves. Good, he would need that alertness later.

Marking off the last item on her daily checklist was always a relief for Twilight Sparkle, and even for her assistant Spike. Today's was no exception, and the little dragon was glad to toss the rolled-up parchment in the garbage. Twilight stirred them both up a mug of hot chocolate, smiling as whipped cream clung to Spike's upper lip when he took a sip. He licked it away while both of them giggled quietly.
After spending some time playing a card game together and finishing their hot chocolate, they each set to work - Twilight on some studying and Spike on some chores around the library. The sun continued lowering through the sky until it disappeared behind the horizon and the moon rose to replace it. Twilight walked back out into the main room of the library to find Spike asleep on the floor, his face resting on top of an open book.

The organization that Twilight set me to consumed most of my morning, as well as a good part of the afternoon. It seemed that for every three sets I would finish, Rarity would bring in six more. After about six hours, or my eighth cry of frustration, she decided to leave the actual production line and helped me sort, which was nice in her own special way.
"I am so glad that you're alright," she said, drumming up a conversation. "Sweetie Belle broke down when she heard that you were missing, and she still hasn't left our tent, even when her friends came to visit."
"Oh yes. She seems to have taken a real shine to you, and I honestly can't blame her. You've always been so nice to her, what with going out crusading with them, and the time you brought her back home after a long day.

Returning home at about 8:30 I could tell that something was wrong. All the lights in the cottage were off, and the door hung slightly ajar. Two things I knew for a fact about Fluttershy is that she never went to bed until I got home, and she ALWAYS remembers to lock her door if she is out in town, or if she isn't going back out for the rest of the day. This was too weird.
I went quietly up to the door, hoping that nopony was inside waiting to stave my head in. I pushed open the door as quietly as I could, although it squeaked very slightly on it's hinges. Peeking my head inside, I called out, "Hello?"
Kinda stupid, in retrospect.
I tiptoed my way inside, being careful not to make too much noise. Even through the darkness, I could see the dismal state that the cottage was in. Everything looked like it had been gone through, and none too gently. All of the drawers in the hutch had been pulled out and had their contents dumped on the ground. Every pictu

Hi: 9° Lo:-2°

BROMSGROVE'S Blue Cross is on the brink of a kitten crisis with the charity having taken on double the number of unwanted or homeless young cats, compared to the same figures last year.
And, worse than that, there is even more waiting to be admitted to the centre in Wildmoor Lane, Catshill.
So far, between January 1 and May 12, the Bromsgrove Blue Cross has taken in 26 kittens - last year it was 13 during that time.
Nationwide the Blue Cross has seen five coming through its doors everyday.
Neil Edwards, the Bromsgrove Blue Cross centre manager, said: "Every year we see a rise in the number of unwanted kittens needing a new home.
"It is shocking that we have already admitted twice the number of unwanted kittens this year.
"Sadly, we expect we will be needed to help even more in the weeks and months to come."
There are currently seven homeless kittens at the Bromsgrove Blue Cross and many of those admitted so far were abandoned or strays. New homes will be found for them as soon as they are old enough.
"It is heartbreaking to think that some of these little kittens were left all alone to fend for themselves.
"It is a miracle some of them survived without their mum, or any food and water.
"We are so grateful for our brilliant team of foster carers who are helping us care for them all," added Mr Edwards.
And he concluded by urging all cat owners to make sure their pets were neutered to stop the rise in unwanted kittens.
Anyone who can offer a kitten a home can visit www.bluecross.org.uk or call 0300 777 1460.

Neopart, provider of supply chain management and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Services, announced that the initial participants in an initiative that involves multiple transit authorities consolidating their parts procurement through a single North American supplier have won the Peter J. Marshall Innovation Award.
The Town of Oakville, Ontario, along with the Regions of Waterloo and York, and the cities of Brampton, Burlington, Hamilton and London, Ontario, received the award, recognizing the Transit Inventory Management Services (TIMS) project.According to the participating transits, the TIMS's "VMI model reduces administration costs, uses economies of scale to save participating municipalities money, increases efficiency, and reduces the supply chain's carbon footprint. This new model allows for a more stable and streamlined supply chain, where fluctuations in inventory space and financing are absorbed by the supplier rather than the transit system."Charles Whitlock, director, procurement and supply services at the region of Waterloo and chair of the TIMS project, observed that "this project is a result of supply chain specialists and senior transit staff working together for two years to create a process that works."The TIMS program, delivered from Neopart's Ontario-based VMI services facility, is the largest transit bus VMI program in North America. TIMS initially supports 1,500 transit buses in their delivery of over 100 million passenger trips per year. While the award was received by the initial TIMS participants, all municipalities and transit agencies throughout Ontario are eligible to participate in the TIMS program.The Peter J. Marshall Innovation Award recognizes municipal governments that have demonstrated excellence in the use of innovative approaches to improve capital and/or operating efficiency, and to generate effectiveness through alternative service delivery initiatives and partnerships.

CHOICE TABLES; An Express Train to Intriguing Tastes in Tokyo
By ELIZABETH ANDOH
Published: September 26, 1999
TRUE to its name, the Tozai Sen (''east-west line'') connects two outermost sections of Tokyo -- Nishi Funabashi city in the Chiba prefecture in the east to Mitaka city in the west.
As the train wends its way through the heart of Tokyo, it links neighborhoods as different as fashionable Nihonbashi, business-oriented Otemachi, and university-centered Waseda. In between is an enclave of private banking, government health services, small-press publishing, and an old-style entertainment quarter concentrated around three subway stops: Kudanshita, Iidabashi and Kagurazaka.
Earlier this year, I was in this entertainment quarter, and noticed how many restaurants there are. Recently I explored the area, and discovered five noteworthy ones.
This restaurant, near the top of Kagurazaka slope, specializes in Osaka-style pressed sushi, something utterly different from the tiny ovals of vinegared rice draped with fresh fish, known as nigiri-zushi or Edomae-zushi (''in the fashion of old Edo''), that is served at American sushi bars.
Osaka-style layered sushi ''sandwiches'' are stunning, with geometric designs in bright primary colors. The tartly seasoned sushi rice is pressed flat in a mold, then topped with colorful vegetables and seafood in Mondrian-like designs. Rolls, too, are different: unlike the slender, cone-shaped hand rolls popular in Tokyo, Osaka-style futo-maki rolls are plump, bursting with sunny omelet, soy-simmered gourd strips and leafy greens.
Not only does Osaka sushi look different, its seasoning may surprise the uninitiated as well. Egg and soy-simmered vegetables are fairly sweet, the rice quite sour; snapper (in the spring and summer) and anago eel (in the fall and winter) are intensely glazed with soy, and the minced, pale-pink pickled ginger is refreshingly sharp.
The balance, or anbai, of salty, sweet and tart is skillfully executed at Oojime. A fine way to sample the offerings is to order nishiki Osaka and chakin Osaka. Both are $22.50 samplers (calculated at 107 yen to the dollar) of several kinds of pressed sushi made with fresh and pickled fish, and a wheel of rolled vegetable and egg sushi. The chakin version includes a mini-pilaf decorated with snowy slices of lotus root and ebony, soy-simmered shiitake mushrooms. The nishiki platter looks like a patchwork quilt.
The menu is illustrated with color photographs for those who do not read Japanese.
About halfway down the hill, midway between Kagurazaka and Iidabashi stations, is Bishamonten temple, a vermilion wood structure that is the most visible landmark in the neighborhood.
Across from the temple and down a narrow side street is an old pub called Iseto. Part the dangling-rope curtain, cross the threshold, and you are thrown into a time warp. This rustic building, about 50 years old, has neither air-conditioning nor central heating; flat uchiwa hand fans are provided in summer, and space heaters take the chill off winter air.
Two small tatami-matted rooms and several stools at a wooden counter surrounding a hearth provide seating for about 20 customers. The current owner, stoic in his indigo-blue samue (old-fashioned temple work clothes), kneels at the hearth as he warms sake (Haku Tsuru, $4.70 a flask). All customers are served an otoshi set for $14 consisting of four small dishes and a bowl of miso soup.
On the summer evening I was there with my guest, a fellow American who adores Japanese food, we had a delicious dish of stewed eggplant garnished with toasted sesame, a briny shrimp ''salad'' dressed in a sea urchin sauce, a small assortment of pickled vegetables, and junsai, a summertime delicacy of slippery lily-pad seeds served in a tart plum sauce. Fronds of deep green wakame (a sea vegetable) and cubes of snowy white tofu floated in a broth thickened with a mixture of mellow miso pastes.
On any given night, there is a short list of other items, each $3.75. I introduced my guest to the salty, crunchy delight of tatami iwashi, minuscule sardines laid out in sheets to dry before being lightly toasted and brushed with soy -- more addictive than potato chips and terrific with warm sake. Curious about a dish named kusaya (literally ''smelly''), we ordered it: a pungent dry-pickled mackerel with a taste that lingered long after we finished our meal.
Tori Shizu
This cozy yakitori bar tucked away down an alley, off a side street not far from Bishamonten temple, is presided over by a cheerful husband and wife, Seiji and Hiroko Iwase.
Here, skewers of chicken and vegetables are merely sprinkled with salt, not dipped in a sweetened soy sauce, as is the custom elsewhere. The absence of sauce only enhances the delicate flavor; a spice mixture called shichimi is set out on the counter for those who wish to add a touch of fire to their food.
The quality of poultry served at Tori Shizu is exceptional; plain yakitori ($2 a skewer) of chunks of breast and thigh meat are tender, and Teba saki wings ($2.35 each) are a bit messy to eat but delicious. The night I visited Tori Shizu with one of my students, the otoshi (a side dish, $2) was gingery soy-simmered chicken livers. An intense chicken broth with shredded leek-like negi was brought without my asking for it.

other than day lillies as a boarder
Can someone give me other suggestions other than day lillies as a boarder? day lillies are great.. they get so big so fast.. But I want other stuff too.. something that will get big as fast as day lillies...
Thanks in advance!
I am not sure if you have a sunny, shaded or partial shaded area...I am assuming sunny since you have daylilies. I had good luck with blackeyed susans rudbeckia (sp?), daisies and coneflowers. Bee balm also goes balistic LOL.
Right now I have mostly shade and partial shade and love my hostas, bleeding hearts and large sedums. Oh another quick border plant is snow on the mountain, but it depends on if you want this to be the only plant. It lookes pretty but is extremely invasive! Oh yeah, ribbon grass/zebra grass...pretty much same as SOTM.
If you happen to post looking for something that grows to quickly fill in areas make sure you look to see how invasive it truly is before planting. I once planted a single small tuber of jerasulem artichoke aka sunchoke and have been fighting them off ever since...they looked cool at first but were so invasive where I planted them I considered Round-Up for the entire very large bed to try to kill them off.

punta del diablo, uruguay to praia do cassino, brazil
it was hard to leave punta del diablo. i could have easily stayed there for another week or month. there was a big thunderstorm the night before i left that kept me awake in my luxury shack.

chillin' in the hood, punta del diablo, uruguay

after the storm, i went for a walk on the beach at about 3am. i found a strange bio-luminescent bug on the beach and he told me it was time to go. always moving onto the next place, eager to explore and see what i can get myself into...

i was talking to some argentines, who feel that americans spend too much time traveling from place to place, and not enough time hunkered down in one spot, enjoying it. i understand the sentiment, but this trip is to see a continent as best i can in 4 months. to do that, you must keep moving, even when you'd prefer to stay put. so it was with a heavy heart that i tossed the gear back on the bike and left punta at a bright and early 2pm.
before i left town, i stopped by to say goodbye to my new friends at the
arrai beach bar
. they were good to me while i was there, and made me feel at home. they always had good music, and my caipirinhas were always tasty and strong. they decided that i should have a ceremonial piece of corn to pay homage to my 'porkandcorn' riding name, as well as hold the official beach bar sign. what?! - no pork!!!??? if i were on facebook, i would friend you guys, but i'm one of the only 4 or 5 americans who are not on facebook. so i linked to your twitter page above. stay in touch and nacho, i want you to email me your music playlist... or else!!

so then it was back on the road and a 30 minute drive to the brazilian border. switching into portugues proved trickier than i thought, because at the border i seemed to always default to spanish. with time. i just have to pause a moment before i speak to switch the brain over - that is not something i am used to doing when speaking portuguese. funny to think that i learned portugues 10 years ago, and that 10 years ago exactly at this time, i was living in florianopolis, brazil for the year. time flies when you are having fun. i'm excited for my return and to see my old friends from that time.

once in brazil, i rode up BR471, a rural two-lane road through lush green and yellow-green fields dotted with cows. in one stretch, there was a nature preserve for
capybara, pig sized rodents
that are native to south america. as, advertised they were hanging out on the road size and in the river that ran along the road. for an enormous rodent, they are pretty cute.

the immigration officials back at the border told me to be careful driving in this park, because the capybara are always on the road and getting hit by cars and trucks. thankfully, one of them got plowed over and its skin was left behind so that i could capture it's decomposing cuteness in all it's glory. they seem pretty stupid. when i pull up along side them on the road, they would freeze and pretend they weren't there. but i knew they were because i am not a stupid, pig-sized rodent. i chased a couple down to get a close up, but they made a goofy noise and ran away from me. might have been the klim riding suit and the bright yellow helmet...

after about a 5 hour road day, i didn't feel like staying in an inland city yet, so i wandered out to the beach again - to
praia do cassino, brazil
. it's a family holiday spot were thousands of poeple roam the main drag at night, walking back and forth, eating street food, sitting in lawn chairs, while packs of samba drum troops roam the streets. it was interesting to walk back and forth a couple times.

the diversity of people in brazil is greater - there are whites, blacks, browns, and one red (me with sunburn from punta d. diablo). it's easier to blend in here, and that makes life just a hair easier for me. i don't care how confident you are - if people stare at you 24/7, it begins to wear on your after a while.
the internet on the expansive front patio of the hotel was calling me, as i had some research to do regarding my riding through the coastal mountains for the next couple of days. excited about the roads, and the little towns i'll find along the way. brazilians are very warm people. it's good to be back here, and i'm excited for the next couple of weeks that i'll be here.

Mrs Shultz and the quandong tree
Favorite thing: Cowell was just another name on the map on our journey. Hadn't really researched it but, as the Lincoln Highway cuts through the edge, it's hard to miss.
So it came to pass (as we did originally) that we saw the sign for a quandong farm. Now, there's a song that mentions just how rare this piece of shrubbery is and, since Bob and I had never seen one, we decided to head off in the motorhome to have a look.
Fondest memory: If you're expecting rows of ordered trees surrounded by fencing then you're bound to be disappointed.
Try a house with a large farm shed out the back and, in between, is a small yard with two quandong trees. Mind you they're almost hidden in amongst the aviaries and roses and other assorted plants.
Still, Mrs. Shultz was there and she could let us know about the plant. Not only that, she had Devonshire teas on offer at the outrageous sum of $3.
So, we found out that a tree had sold for $10,000. Amazing. Well, it was until she told us that the last one sold had gone for $20,000!
This parasitic plant is indeed rare but we were tucking in to some quandong jam and I also bought some quandong sauce. Though the plant wasn't in bloom she had frozen some and extracted them from her freezer to show us the bright red fruit, so called.
Thus sated, we headed off into the sunset.
Pic one shows some of her roses and pic two shows Bob pigging out on Devonshire tea.

A state of ruin
Favorite thing: All across Eyre Peninsula, occasionally not too far from the main road, are ruins such as this one. I find it sad that we can't retain these links to the past, especially with the special architecture they behold.
There are places in my home town one isn't allowed to demolish that have far less merit than these historical edifices.
In the third picture you'll clearly see the wonderful stonework included in the walls.
I'm grateful at least that I was able to record a few.
This one is not far away from Cowell on the Lincoln Highway.

Something fishy
Favorite thing: Well, something in the salt water anyway. Cowell, in common with so many towns on the Eyre Peninsula is an oyster haven though Cowell entered the big time in recent years. This scene with the oyster boats coming and going is repeated all over the peninsula. It's certainly different to the traffic you might find in Sydney, Adelaide or Perth.

By any other name
Favorite thing: As I've stated elsewhere, South Australia is the rosy state. Though not quite everything is coming up roses, a lot of things are.
Bob got out while I was snapping away and went and had a chat with Errol, the local green thumb who lives adjacent to, and also looks after, the roses of the church of St. Hughes, a delightful display of transplanted growths (except one) of which he is justifiably proud.

Colourful main street
Favorite thing: We swung into the main street of Cowell and the first thing you notice is the lovely stonework in the architecture, a style evocative of the late 19th century.
Partly because of the benign weather around here they remain much as they were and the houses invariably have some roses planted somewhere in their proximity.

In the colonial district, you can visit: Saint Andrew's cathedral; the war memorial to the 50,000 Singaporeans killed during the Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945; the 1929 city hall, where Singapore's independence was declared in 1965; the supreme court and its flying saucer-shaped structure, designed by Sir Norman Foster; the former supreme court and its dome, a miniature model of Saint Paul's in London (built in 1937); the museums (Museum of the History of Singapore, Asian Civilisations Museum; National Museum and Fine Arts Museum); the site where Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, first landed on January 28, 1819; the Merlion, symbol of Singapore, half lion half fish, spouting water at the base of the financial centre's skyscrapers; majestic Fullerton hotel, a neo-classical building which was once the central post office; mythic Raffles hotel; Clarke Quay ad its bars, night clubs and fashionable restaurants; Boat Quay and its more traditional places; Singapore zoo; the botanical garden; Chinatown; Little India; Arab street; Orchard road, a heavenly shopping street.
From the top of Singapore Flyer, the world's highest ferris wheel towering at 541 ft (higher than the London Eye), you can admire Indonesia and Malaysia, the urban forest of skyscrapers and one of the world's largest cargo ship concentrations, while comfortably seated in the large glass capsules. The wheel goes around in 37 minutes. Singapore gives the possibility of enjoying more original activities such as bungee jumping and flight simulators. Another interesting experience: having your feet massaged by fish nibbling your toes! You can go on mini-cruises on the Singapore River to see the city centre from the river or hire a 'bumboat' (motorized sampans) to explore the surrounding islands, but also watch a concert, a play at the theatre or an opera performance at the Victoria Theatre and concert hall (which brings Sidney's opera to mind).
Shopping, of course! You ought to know that there is an underground city that awaits you in the form of a gigantic, air-conditioned shopping gallery, with the prospect of good deals!
Don't forget about the nature here! Experience the unique night-safari in the heart of a secondary forest, close to the world-renowned zoo, with the world's largest colony of orangutans. You can also go for a hike in Bukit Timah natural reserve, the last remaining sector of primary jungle on the island.
Singapore has some beautiful beaches so don't forget your swimming costume! We recommend Sentosa island beach.
If you are in transit and staying for a few hours and you have sufficient time, you can have a free tour of the city (request it from Changi airport's dedicated counter). Singapore's legislation is very strict (no tobacco, no chewing gum). Drug trafficking is punishable by death. Even though the air is very humid (75%), the constant heat can cause dehydration: remember to drink a lot of water. They drive on the left here so driving shouldn't be a problem. If you want to cover a short distance, why not use a rickshaw?: pulled by a bicycle, this original and traditional type of transport is very cheap and you can negotiate the fare. Bali and Phuket are just a two-hour flight away, Indonesia is a half-hour boat ride away, Malaysia is a 45-minute drive away, Malacca and the strait are a 2-hour drive away and Kuala Lumpur, the capital city, is a 4-hour drive away. It is a great opportunity to combine shopping and culture with a beach holiday!
Smoking in the street, less than 16 ft from some hotels will cost you a fine of ?500! Never throw your chewing gum on the floor, particularly considering that it is hardly even tolerated in your mouth! Drug trafficking is punishable by death. A drug test may be made upon entering the country: a person who tests positive may be accused of consuming drugs on the territory.
Singapore is unquestionably the hallmark of Asian gastronomy, it therefore has an incredible amount of restaurants serving a great variety of specialities at reasonable prices. From Chinese cuisine (Cantonese, Hokkian, Sichuan, Teochow), fish and crustaceans, vegetarian cuisine, Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian, Nyonya, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Burmese, Taiwanese, Italian or French cuisine, there is something for all tastes and budgets, from the simple eating house to the refined restaurants of luxury hotels. If you want to have a quick bite while still enjoying a variety of Asian delights, you must go to a "Hawker Centre". Hawkers used to peddle their wares by setting up and selling their specialities on the pavement and sitting on stools with small tables. In these centres, a single dish costs between S and S. Whatever you do, be sure to make time to stop off at the Long Bar on the first floor of the Raffles to try the famous Singapore Sling cocktail; this is the only place in Singapore where you can throw things on the floor, more precisely peanut shells!
Singapore is a major shopping destination, although you won't get as good deals as you would have in the past. From works of art, antiques and handicraft, to electronics, perfume, clothes, watches and cameras, you will find everything that you can think of in the various districts of the city and in the vast lobbies of Changi airport. Generally, department stores and shopping centres are open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm, or 9:30 pm. At the Muslim shopping centre Mustapha in the district of Little India, you will find absolutely everything: jewels, clothes, electronics, food, etc., but no cigarettes, alcohol or pork! For top brands, go to Orchard Road, the city's main street, where you will find the local Hard Rock Café, as well as Armani, Cartier, Vuitton and Chanel! The best deals are to be found during the Great Singapore Sale in June and July.

Please make your request or arrangements for weekly cleaning and/or laundry services through the Host prior to or immediately upon your arrival.
15. TRASH REMOVAL AND RECYCLING - The Guest(s) shall dispose of all waste material generated during the rental period in a lawful manner. All trash should be placed in the available trash bins located on each floor and place any recyclables (paper, glass, plastic, aluminum) in the blue recycle bin located off the right hand side of the patio. Both trash and recyclables are picked up early (7 AM) each Tuesday morning. Guest(s) shall place the trash and/or recyclables on the front sidewalk for pickup each Tuesday morning during their stay. Guest(s) must not put trash and recyclables on the sidewalk prior to 8 PM on Monday evening and must bring the blue recycle bin back in the apartment no later than Tuesday at 8 PM. Not doing so could result in a fine from the city, which will be charged to the Guest(s).
16. PARKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD – A reserved parking space does not come with the apartment rental. There are several options when it comes to parking in the Rittenhouse Square area. There are privately owned Parking Garages nearby, there is On Street Parking, both metered and free, all within a 1 to 3 block radius of the apartment and there is a Guest Parking Permit option that allows you to park in the same spot from 2:00 PM on day of check-in through 11:00 AM on day of check out. The Host can provide you more information if you provide your travel plans and how you intend to use your car while in Philadelphia.
•Parking Garage: Parking is available in two local parking garages within 1 to 2 blocks from the apartment. The garage costs range from $20-$24 per 24 hr period; with no in and out privileges. Or if you want to just park overnight and use your car during the day, some garages may have special overnight rates as well. You would need to make your own arrangements for parking in those locations. Here is a link to a great site that can assist you with finding the best garage parking in the city. You may want to check out the website before making a decision on purchasing a temporary parking permit from me. (website hidden)
•On-Street Parking: Paying to park on the street is the other option. Regular on-street parking is metered at approximately $2.00 per hour. There are a few blocks that are not metered, but you could get ticketed if you don't move your car every 2 hours. Most streets have free parking from 8:00 PM in the evening until 8:00 AM the following morning, Monday thru Saturday. If you are arriving late in the day and leaving early the next morning, this may be a cheaper option for you, but keep in mind that finding a parking spot on the street after 6:00 PM could take quite some time and may not be in the immediate vicinity of the apartment.
•Guest Parking Permit: A Guest Parking Permit allows for parking in a dedicated spot on Rodman Street. The Guest Parking Permit costs $10.00 per day and the use of the permit is valid from 2:00 PM on day of check-in thru 11:00 AM on day of check out. With the permit, you can use your car for short trips and park it again later in the same spot on the street as often as you wish through final check out. You can request a Parking Permit through the Host. When requested in advance, Parking Permits will be provided to the Guest(s) at time of arrival. Guest(s) must properly display the parking permit on their vehicle window at all times. Failure to display the permit may result in parking fines or the towing of the vehicle at the Guest'(s) expense.
17. ITEMS LEFT BEHIND – Any valuable items left behind by Guest(s) will be held for the Guest(s) and every reasonable effort will be made to contact the Guest(s) for return. If items are not claimed for longer than 6 months they shall become the property of the Host. The Host shall not be held liable for condition of said items.
18. NOISE LEVELS - The Guest(s) shall behave in a civilized manner and shall be good neighbors respecting the rights of the surrounding property owners. The Guest(s) shall not create noise or disturbances likely to disturb or annoy the surrounding property owners. This is especially necessary when using the garden patio. The patio is part of a larger courtyard to which seven other properties have access. The courtyard has a tendency to carry voices and sounds fairly well. For that reason, it is important to adhere to the quiet hours of 10 PM on weeknights and 12 midnight on weekends. Any outdoor noise after these times should be kept at a low volume.
19. INSURANCE FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY - The Guest(s) and Guest(s') visitors shall hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Host against any and all claims of personal injury or property damage or loss arising from use of the premises regardless of the nature of the accident, injury or loss. Guest(s) expressly recognize that any insurance for property damage or loss which the Host may maintain on the property does not cover the personal property of Guest(s), and that Guest(s) should purchase their own insurance for Guest(s) and visitors if such coverage is desired.
20. CANCELLATIONS: The Rental Deposit amount is fully refundable up to 5 (five) days prior to the beginning of the rental period. If notice is given less than five days prior to the rental period, the Host shall have the right to retain 50% of the Rental Deposit at the Host's discretion. There are no refunds of rents given due to shortened stays or ruined expectations due to weather conditions, work and family emergencies or other commitments.
21. PRIOR TO CHECK OUT - The Guest(s) are asked to respect the host's property and clean up after themselves so that the premises are in a good, clean, condition, at the expiration of the rental agreement. You can use the short checklist below to remind you of the few things that any guest staying at a friend's house would do to help clean up after themselves.
_____ a.All sheets and pillow cases are stripped from the bed and placed in the laundry bag. All used bathroom and kitchen towels are placed in the laundry bag.
_____ b.Pillows, comforter and any additional blankets used are folded and placed on the bed.
_____ c.Sleeper sofa, if used for sleeping, is stripped of linens and returned to the normal sitting position. Linens and pillow cases are placed in laundry bag. Comforter is folded and left on the sofa.
_____ d.All trash is collected and placed in the kitchen trash bin.
_____ e.Any dishes or cookware that was used is washed, dried, and placed in the available dish strainer to dry properly.
_____ f.All lights in the house are turned off. All windows, back door, and front door are securely closed and locked. All keys to the apartment are left on the dining table.
Michael did an excellent job communicating with us and helping us with any questions we had.
The keyless entry was very easy to use and remember and helped immensely.
The space was clean and exactly as it is describes- great location and surrounded by the best Philly has to offer from coffee shops, museums, great, fun and funky restaurants, and easy to access transportation.
The space may be hard for 4, as there is only one bathroom upstairs, but I was with my young-adult son and we had no problem with the accommodations fitting our needs. Thanks Michael!
This was our first time using Airbnb and our first experience was excellent. Before our arrival, we had good communication with Michael and all the instructions to get in the apartment were clear. You could tell beforehand that Michael is an experienced host (just check his listing) and, surely, things went without a hitch. The listing was accurate and reflects positively on the apartment. The neighborhood itself is charming and centrally located. It felt safe to us and a great starting point to explore and experience Philadelphia.
We were quite satisfied with our stay and should we need to find a place to stay in the vicinity of City Center, we would certainly look into staying at Michael's apartment again.
This was my second time staying at Michael's in Philadelphia. I love the space, just enough and very walkable to the heart of the City. Michael is very organized and the rooms were spotless. I have a little performance anxiety about cleaning up before I leave, but its worth it.
Michael has thought of everything, including umbrellas for guest use during the inevitable spring rains, not just one but two.
I recommend this location.
Thank you,
GREAT experience all around. Michael was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The apartment is absolutely delightful. The location, fantastic! Nothing would have made my stay any better! Thanks Michael!
MikeZ es un excelente anfitrión. Él valora la comodidad de sus invitados. El departamento está en una gran ubicación de City Center. Sin duda, me volvería a reservar el departamento nuevo.
MikeZ is an excellent host. He values the comfort of his quests. The apartment is in a great City Center location. Without hesitation, I would book the apartment again.
Michael was extremely thorough in providing instructions for renting this unit. Detailing check in/out process and plenty of information on surrounding area. I particularly liked the option of the parking permit. Warm & comfortable layout
I've travelled a great deal for both business and pleasure in the United States and throughout the world and enjoy the big city atmosphere, but am also drawn to the historical landscapes of an area that help define the people and their culture. Highlights of my travels include, touring the Austrailian outback, discovering old world Europe in such beautiful locations as Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Paris, Cologne, Lyon, and Berlin, trekking thru a Tanzanian game preserve and hiking the snows of Kilimanjaro. I've gained quite a bit of experience as a guest and hopefully I am able to use that experience to be a better host. Although low-keyed and laid back, I have an attention to detail that is geared towards making your stay in Philadelphia a very pleasant one. Whether your on business, on vacation, or celebrating a special occasion, I want your stay in Philly to be as enjoyable as it can be. When I'm not hosting or traveling, I try to keep up with my running, and thankfully Philly has some great running locations that make it pretty easy.

Pretend You Don't See Her
Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers' spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder—and to the dying words of the victim.... The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal—which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It's an impulse that later proves nearly fatal.
Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date—until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who's behind the deaths of the two women—before she's the next casualty.
At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don't See Her is the "mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.
