Is the end of monsoon June in sight? Weather starts to brighten up but there's still a few more showers to come
- Forecasters have said the weather will improve over the next five days with more bouts of sunshine on the way
- Bizarre weather conditions for June highlighted by sighting of huge twister off Cornish coast
There could be a glimmer of hope for the British Summer as weather forecasters predicted that the monsoon type weather might finally be over.
According to the Met Office there will be occasional showers with bouts of sunshine over the next five days and temperatures will be more in line with the seasonal average.
'It's looking like the temperature will be close to the seasonal average and certainly for the next five days it won't be as unsettled as it has been,' said Met Office spokeswoman Jenny Rourke. 'There are also no more warnings in place and from what we can tell, it's generally looking a bit better.'

better with most of the country experiencing bands of heavy rain and

One of the
most bizarre meteorological phenomenons so far has been a bank of cloud
which looked as though a tornado was forming off Bossiney Bay in
Tintagel, Cornwall.
Despite fears from onlookers, meteorologists said it was likely to be a rare funnel cloud which is caused by currents deep within shower clouds.
Friday two yachts ran aground off Plymouth, and three crewmen were
airlifted to safety from two boats off the Isles of Scilly. In Bingley,
West Yorkshire, an inch of rain fell in 15 hours, and parts of Wales
were pelted with more than an inch.

Bizarre: Locals in Cornwall were stunned when they saw this giant twister forming over the coast of the county but meteorologists said it was a rare funnel cloud
The Environment Agency was forced to issue 19 flood alerts covering East Anglia, the South East, the Midlands and parts of the North East.
The latest storms follow dreadful weather conditions earlier this week which resulted in more than three inches, or 80mm, of rain falling in just 24 hours, leaving homes and roads flooded.
Firefighters were on flood alert in many parts of the country with crews in the south west - which have seen a huge surge in flooding-related call outs since the start of the week - braced for more this weekend.
Several fire crews have had to rescue
drivers who ignored road closures and diversion warnings and drove into
flooded roads over the past week
There have also been a number of
dramatic sea rescues with an air-sea rescue helicopter airlifting three
crewmen injured on two boats in stormy weather off the Isles of Scilly
this morning.
One man suffered a broken ankle and two others suffered a fractured arm and cuts. Ken Bazeley of Falmouth Coastguard said 'There are several vessels that we are monitoring all the time as they make their way back to Falmouth or Plymouth or the south coast of Cornwall that have suffered mast or steering problems.'
The Penlee lifeboat was also launched
on Friday morning to go to a yacht which broadcast a Mayday. An RNLI
spokesman said 'The Penlee
all-weather lifeboat launched to assist a 38ft yacht with two people on
board 12 miles south of Newlyn. The yacht had managed to lose a sail
overboard that got tangled around the keel and rudder in a south east
'The lifeboat arrived on the scene in 40 minutes and managed to secure a rope to the yacht then started the tow back to Newlyn. Later the Penlee Inshore Lifeboat launched as the vessels approached the harbour to help tow the yacht through the gaps in testing conditions, and the yacht was safely moored.'

Meanwhile there were reports that two more ran yachts had run aground in huge seas off Plymouth in Devon.
Scillonian Ferry services between Penzance and the Isles of Scilly were also cancelled because of dangerously high seas and a number of boats were ripped from their moorings overnight on Thursday in Falmouth and Penryn in Cornwall.
The Environment Agency said people in Devon and Cornwall should 'remain prepared' for the possibility of flooding.
Devon County Council said its highways department, which was still clearing up debris from last week's storms, was 'geared up' to deal with any incidents.
The storms have resulted in some huge seas of the coastline with surfers taking advantage of massive waves in Harlyn Bay in Cornwall and huge waves were also seen crashing over a lighthouse in Porthcawl, Wales.
Punters at the Mid-Summer Raceday during the June Meeting at York racecourse desperately tried to shield themselves from the elements during a short rainstorm.
Some attempted to seeks shelter under a makeshift tent canopy - which was soon blown over by the strong winds.

Gusts on the horizon: The flags in Parliament Square, London, were blowing more vigorously yesterday, indicating that the expected high winds of up to 60mph could soon be upon us
The Met Office said it was too early to say whether this month was on course to be the wettest June on record, beating the 2007 figure of 136.2mm. The average June rainfall is 72.6mm.
Despite the torrential conditions, the Met Office said the UK was still below its average rainfall for the year. Between January and May, 392.5mm of rain fell across the country, compared with an average of 439mm.
Nevertheless, temperatures have been miserable for many. Forest Row, East Sussex, only reached 10.7C on Tuesday, almost 10C below normal for June.
Sunshine is down 60 per cent so far this month, with England and Wales averaging just 30 hours' sunshine. June normally sees 178 hours' sunshine.
Although there have been heavy showers in parts of the South West, Wales and the North West, parts of the country which were on flood alert after days of heavy rain were given breathing space this week with clear skies in the South East and London.
The break in the weather came as three of the UK's biggest water companies announced they would lift hosepipe bans, imposed to deal with drought, following weeks of heavy rain.
Thames Water, Anglian Water and Southern Water were to remove the restrictions in place since early April from Thursday.
Seven water companies across southern and eastern England brought in hosepipe bans after two unusually dry winters left some groundwater supplies and rivers as low as in the drought year of 1976.
The Environment Agency had urged people in Devon, Cornwall, west Somerset, North Wales and parts of the Midlands to remain prepared for the possibility of floods as the Met Office issued a weather warning for heavy rain.

"THE LAST STAND" — ★★★ — Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville, Luis Guzmán, Zach Gilford, Jaimie Alexander, Rodrigo Santoro; R (strong, bloody violence throughout, strong language); in general release
In a movie years ago, an action icon uttered the legendary phrase, "I'll be back."
Well, believe me, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back.
Starring as rural county sheriff Ray Owens, Schwarzenegger delivers a vintage performance as the last line of defense for his sleepy, little border town.
What could possibly go wrong when the town is all but vacated as the townsfolk head for the state football championship game? Well, some strangers roll into town and Ray senses something's not right. If this is feeling like the plot of a bunch of old, classic Westerns, you are right on track.
It seems the "strangers" are there to help facilitate the escape into Mexico by Gabriel Cortez, a notorious drug kingpin played by Eduardo Noriega, who has made a spectacular escape in Las Vegas.
Forest Whittaker, as FBI Agent Bannister, knows Cortez is headed for the border, but which route will he take? Nobody believes the path will lead to Sheriff Owens' jurisdiction.
Wow, are they wrong.
When the picture finally becomes clear, there's no time to reinforce good, old Ray before everything comes to a head. The sheriff and his rag-tag deputies are on their own.
Unlike the old Westerns, we're not waiting for the train to roll into town. We're waiting for a souped-up Corvette. But just like the old Westerns, our sheriff is not the rube he's thought to be. It seems Ray was a seasoned, elite L.A. cop who left the streets of the big city after too much violence and too much blood.
Speaking of blood, "The Last Stand" is dripping with it, violence to such an excess that it becomes cartoonish. It's embarrassing, and you can't help but laugh. But let's get back to the plot.
Like every old Western, you have to include a town "character" or side-kick. Enter Johnny Knoxville, who is bizarrely delightful as Dinkum, known to the locals as not only peculiar, but armed to the teeth. As the sheriff assesses his assets for the upcoming battle, he deputizes Dinkum and acquires an amazing arsenal. The stage is set for the big showdown.
Every cliché you can think of is included in this film along with every stereotype. The stiff delivery of cheesy Arnold lines pepper the plot and, of course, the FBI is made to look ridiculous. No wonder this movie is so much fun.
Believe me, "The Last Stand" is not great cinema and it won't be winning Academy Awards, but it's old school, Arnold-style entertainment and a guilty pleasure.
"The Last Stand" is rated R for strong, bloody violence throughout, strong language; running time: 107 minutes.

Staff Correspondent
MANGALORE: A week after electrical engineer Sarang Mohammad Naeem (39) was kidnapped in the Herat province of Afghanistan, his family at Gurukambla here is living with increasing sense of desperation. Their official source of information, according to his father, Mohammad Hussain Sarang, is their son's employers, the Dubai-based HEB International Logistics and the Indian Embassy at Kabul.
A sense of frustration was evident in the voice of Mr. Hussain when he was asked if the family had heard something more about Mr. Naeem. "Abhi uske baare mein koi khabar nahin hai," Mr. Hussain said.
"The company, which is in regular touch with his captors, spoke to us an hour back and promised us that they were doing everything in their power to secure his safe and early release," Mr. Hussain added.
. Observing that the family members were downcast with the turn of events in their life, Mr. Hussain noted that the only ray of hope was the constant feedback that they were getting from the Indian Embassy officials.
"They have informed us that there is no threat to his life, and that he is well," Mr. Hussain added.

Do you have pictures of your iris available?
Sirto ~ Nice iris! I don't have pic's of mine right now but can email you some tomorrow. I would really like to have a few of yours.

Romans 2 – "You didn't think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard? Or did you think that because he's such a nice God, he'd let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he's not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change. You're not getting by with anything. Every refusal and avoidance of God adds fuel to the fire. The day is coming when it's going to blaze hot and high, God's fiery and righteous judgment. Make no mistake: In the end you get what's coming to you—Real Life for those who work on God's side, but to those who insist on getting their own way and take the path of least resistance, Fire! If you go against the grain, you get splinters, regardless of which neighborhood you're from, what your parents taught you, what schools you attended. But if you embrace the way God does things, there are wonderful payoffs, again without regard to where you are from or how you were brought up."

I have a rake task intended to migrate legacy db fields into a
task :degrees => :environment do
Person.all.each do |p|
if p['degree1'] || p['degree2']
p.degrees = {}
p.degrees["first"] = p['degree1'] == "Other" ? p['degree1_other'] : p['degree1']
p.degrees["second"] = p['degree2'] == "Other" ? p['degree2_other'] : p['degree2']
Trouble is it's extremely slow with mongo and ruby taking up 80% and 20% CPU respectively.
For simpler migrations I was able to use a mongo update like so:
db.people.update({},{$rename : {"url" : "website"}}, false, true)
This ran extremely fast. Is there any way to translate the above rake task into a mongo update or shell script?

Like most karaoke add-ons for games consoles, the Mega-CD Karaoke was only released in Japan.
The Mega-CD Karaoke fits onto the left of the combined system and was bundled with a microphone. The unit hooks up to a Mega CD by making use of the left and right audio ports seen on the back of the unit, but requires its own power supply. Though it was designed primarily to work with the Mega CD Model 1, it is fully compatible with the Mega CD Model 2 as well.

rhizome divisions
Next Jan/Feb I plan to dig some of my Phy. Dulcis and Phy. Bambusoides to keep their spread in check. There will be lots of extra rhizomes. In the past I simply cut them in about 8 inch pieces and put them in 5 gal. pots, and have had good success, but only get one single culm from each one. I realize that this is a very slow way to go and takes an extra year or two, but I am a patient grower and hate to waste a healthy rhizome. My question is this, can I put two three or four separate pieces in one pot and expect them to do ok, or would this "choke" them out or cause the whole pot to be weaker? Also I realize that it is best to dig culms that are 2-3 years old but I have a lot that are from this spring and have to come out.They are about an inch in diameter and 8 to 12 feet tall. Should I pot these up or am I expecting too much?
I see no problem with putting more than one rhizome cutting in a pot...just make sure you use a decent size pot. As for the existing culms, I have had pretty good luck taking divisions like you want to do of stuff that has come up in the current growing season. You might lose a couple of them, but if you're needing to take them out, go ahead and pot them up as long as they have at least a modest root or root ball. It's worth a try and you may have a fairly decent success rate.

2008 Nissan 350Z Coupe 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
My last 3 cars have been sports cars, (Mustang GT, Subaru WRX, 350Z) and this trumps them all This car pulls beautifully, runs great, is super reliable, amazing performance. Just love it. I recommend it highly

I had the base badboy for 6 months before it was totaled in the rain from doing 45 in a 55mph zone. All I have to say is that this was one of the best cars that I have ever had, I don't think a Porsche would have made me much happier but no matter what you tell yourself it is really only a sunny day kind of car. You already know why you like the car but here are the problems. Base model means no lsd something which is inconceivable on a rwd car of this caliber. Secondly the brakes stink compared to the engine power. Luckily the 370 fixed this issue. The car comes with hid which is nicel and same power as the top end models. Even nismo. . But no LSD or vdc and no brembos. I'm looking into awd

OK, I've had the little stinker for 4 days. I traded in my '06 Frontier which I liked very much as far as trucks go, for an '08 Z. What a difference from handling, acceleration, comfort, etc. I haven't driven anything this small since I turned over my '85 Honda Prelude with 300K on the odometer. Looking forward to building quite the relationship with the Z. I'm not looking to get anymore power or handling out of it. I've grown tired of pouring money into cars with aftermarket stuff. So I'm just going to enjoy the car for what is - a fun sports-car.

My base 6M 350Z is a great car. I bought it to replace my 2007 GMC Sierra Denali and 1991 Corvette coupe and I've done well. I've gotten a lot of compliments and nods of approval since owning this car. The Nagaro Red just "pops" in the sunlight. The performance, styling and fuel economy are excellent and I'm sure the reliability will be the same. Although I didn't buy from my local dealer (due to them not having the exact car I wanted (base 6M w/out splash guards), they are eager to service it. You get great mileage when you drive conservatively. Was able to get a great deal due to 370 coming. Overall I'm very, very happy with my decision to purchase a Nissan 350Z.

I have had my Z for 2 months and so far it's been a complete thrill to drive. It's fast, yet refined! It turns heads and gets attention. The powerful V6 really kicks and the baritone exhaust sounds melodious especially in higher RPMs. If you drive it smooth (which is VERY hard to do) you can get good mpg, but driving it like a true sports car can cause some frequent trips to the pump. The 6-speed transmission has great response on all 6 gears. All this for under 30K! Best deal out there!

Electrosonic Captures Second Consecutive AV Award for Consumer Installation of the Year
At a gala dinner on October 11 at the London Hilton, Electrosonic took home the AV Award for Consumer Installation of the Year for the second year in a row. This time the award was for Electrosonic's work on The Siemens Crystal, a sustainable cities initiative by the global electronics and electrical engineering powerhouse.
Electrosonic has won a total of 27 AV Awards since the honors began in 1999. The AV Awards are managed by UK-based AV Magazine but judged independently by senior representatives from user companies and key industry players. They are considered to be one of the most prestigious AV industry awards in the UK.
The Siemens Crystal features extensive AV systems engineered and installed by Electrosonic. Located at London's Royal Victoria dock, it serves as home to Siemens' Center of Competence – Cities, a team of multi-disciplinary urban experts. Its public face is a 21,500-square foot interactive exhibition, which guides visitors through the urban infrastructure of the future by examining the possibilities for sustainable mobility, building technologies, power and water supplies, and healthcare. Electrosonic's support ranged from the entrance to the Crystal to ten exhibit zones and a concluding presentation.
"Once again we are proud to have been awarded the honour of Consumer Installation of the Year," says Sarah Joyce, VP EMEA. "The Siemens Crystal features innovative interactive exhibits designed to inform the public about the sustainability of cities and how they're meeting the challenges of security, clean water, energy, transportation, carbon dioxide levels and access to healthcare. Ultimately, it's an optimistic panorama of what the city of the future could look like if the ideas presented in The Crystal were to be applied. Electrosonic is delighted to have played a part in this meaningful view of the urban society of tomorrow."
The Crystal was designed by Wilkinson Eye, Architects with Pringle Brandon the interior/fit out architect. Exhibit fabrication was by The Hub; content for the AV and interactive exhibits was created by ISO, All of Us, Clay, Squint Opera, Spirit Link, B12 and Siemens Software. Additional content was produced by Event Communications and Siemens, with exhibit lighting design by DHA Design.
Last year Electrosonic won AV Award honors for its AV support of The Parlamentarium, the European Parliament's Visitors' Centre and the first multimedia-rich exhibition to be fully accessible in 24 languages.
About Electrosonic
Electrosonic is an international audio-visual company that creates tailored, state-of-the-art solutions for a wide range of markets including theme parks, museums, control rooms, and corporate meeting rooms. Since its founding in 1964, Electrosonic has built a strong reputation for working on complex projects, both large and small, and has developed lasting partnerships with customers and suppliers.

Inova Fair Oaks Hospital to launch cancer center
- Ben Fischer
- Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
Inova Fair Oaks Hospital will break ground Friday on a $31 million medical office building that will house a radiation oncology cancer center, becoming the fourth hospital within the Inova system to provide radiation therapy.
The 10,000-square foot center will be housed in the bottom floor of the 115,000-square foot office building, the hospital's fourth, that will also include an infusion center and physician offices. Also, it will include space for Inova's "Life with Cancer" program, a compendium of classes, support groups and other services for cancer patients and families.
Currently, most of Inova's cancer services are provided at its flagship campus, Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, with Loudoun and Alexandria hospitals also providing care. But as the population has grown to the west, executives saw a need for radiation therapy and other services there too, said Chief Financial Officer Jerry Seager.
Hospitals nationally have tried to compete on convenience in cancer care, acutely aware of the time cancer patients spend dealing with their disease in frequent doctors' appointments and treatment sessions.
"It is absolutely an indication that the patient population is becoming more dense here to the west," Seager said. "Many of the patients in our primary service area drive to Fairfax. On the one hand, it's not that far. Unless you want to get there in the morning. It's a long way with traffic."
Inova Health System is either currently building or planning more than $1 billion worth of capital improvements across its major hospital campuses, financed through a combination of cash reserves, long-term debt and philanthropy.
Equipment for the cancer center will cost about $9.5 million, Seager said. He targeted early 2014 as an occupancy date.

WOSTER: Janklow takes rightful place
There was a time, right after Bill Janklow finished the 16th year of his four terms as South Dakota's governor, when I'd walk past the portraits of other governors on the walls of the Capitol building's first floor and feel some anger that his picture wasn't among them.

Between You and Me Poem by Nur Meiyati
I never become a man
You never become a woman
I never become you
You never become me
Although I try to stand on your shoes
I still cannot know exactly
What are in your mind and how you feel
Although maybe you try to read me
You still cannot know precisely
What I feel and what are in my mind
What is important for you
Maybe it is not important for me
What is important for me
Maybe it means nothing to you
I don't know you and you don't know me
But can't it be an amazing foundation
To understand each other
I will let you do whatever you want
As long as it does not harm you, me or anyone
Just as I want you
To let me do whatever I want
As long as it does not harm you, me or anyone
And it will be an additional value
If we support each other, help each other
Why not?

Asther overwintering
Hey all!! Spring is great, isn't it?!?!?!
So I got a white asther last year. It was the only thing that didn't overwinter! The Foxgloves flourished and I have a ton of them now, the coneflower was fine, even the Summer Midnight Delphinium is up and doing great!
But the white aster turned to mush, apparently. I find that odd because aren't foxgloves and delphiniums the ones that are prone to turning to mush? We have well drained soil, so.
Any thoughts? Have others found this to be common?
asters are hardy and should come up from the roots. however asters are late flowering plants. Maybe they haven't just poked up yet. or perhaps they may have suffered during winter due to an air pocket in the soil. Air pockets can kill plants in winter.
Asters actually do better planted in the spring, so their roots have a chance to get established before winter sets in, if you can find them. Fall planting is chancy if you want them to live over. I always plant mine a bit deep so they will take root around the crown, just like I do with mums, but I still lose about 2 out of 5. I always buy a bunch on sale at the last of the fall season so I don't have a lot invested.

What about using a D-dimer test to risk-stratify? A BestBets review and a Stemlyns podcast addressed the question of using a negative D-dimer to rule out PE in pregnancy. The research performed by BestBets in 2004 and last modified in 2011 selected 5 studies out of 151 studies which addressed the question of interest. These studies had a small number of patients, and consisted of 2 prospective, a retrospective, a systematic review, and a case report study. Several studies showed normal elevation of D-dimers as pregnancy progressed, which is something that should be considered for future research on D-dimer cutoff values.
BestBets' conclusion (2011): There is NO current evidence to support the use of a single isolated negative D-dimer result to rule out PE in the pregnant patient.
Why don't we just get a CTPA to rule-out all pregnant patients who may have a PE?
Typically for non-pregnant patients, one starts the PE work up by obtaining a chest xray and determining a pre-test probability. Obtain a D-dimer for low pretest probability patients. If the D-dimer comes back elevated or if the pre-test probability is already moderate-high to start with, perform an imaging study such as a CTPA (or a V/Q scan).
For pregnant patients, however, we just discussed that D-dimers aren't as helpful. Should we get a CTPA (or V/Q scan)? Such imaging studies place both the fetus and mother at risk for future malignancies. For this reason, if we order these tests, we should keep radiation exposure to "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" ( ALARA ) for both. We can provide a shield to protect the fetus and/or also place a urinary catheter to drain the radioactive isotope. Interestingly, the high cardiac output in pregnancy might not allow for appropriate vascular opacification in CTPA. Furthermore, the dye used in the V/Q scan has the potential of causing hypothyroidism in the unborn fetus.
An alternative approach before obtaining a CTPA or V/Q scan is to start a PE workup with a chest x-ray and a lower extremity (LE) ultrasound to assess for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). If the LE ultrasound is positive, the treatment threshold is surpassed and the patient should be started on anticoagulants for a likely PE. If the ultrasound study shows no DVT, a more extensive work up involving irradiation (CTPA or V/Q scan) should now be considered in the decision process.
This still leaves many questions unanswered unfortunately...
Ultimately in the end, your clinical decision should be a multifactorial process, which considers the uncertainties of diagnostic findings, risk-benefit justification in obtaining or not obtaining a CTPA, patient's values, and your overall clinical judgment.
Since there is no convincing literature on how to work up PEs for pregnant patients, I would love to hear comments on your thought process.

Hello Friends, Colleagues & Get Fit Gloucester Partners,
The Backyard Growers Program has just launched its first-ever on-line fundraising campaign! We are raising money to host a FoodCorps Service Member next year and to support our expansion into Gloucester's elementary schools (read below for details).
Check out our campaign at www.indiegogo.com
Please consider making a donation and/or forwarding our campaign to your networks.
The fundraiser video features my lovely daughters, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face : )
Thank you!
Here's the nitty-gritty on who we are and what we're asking for (you can also read this on our campaign site):
What we do
Backyard Growers is a program of the Cape Ann Farmers' Market. We are part of the farmers' market strategy for increasing fresh veggie eating in Gloucester!
Since 2010 the Backyard Growers Program, in partnership with The Food Project, has provided low- to moderate-income Gloucester residents with backyard raised-bed vegetable gardens, garden training, and ongoing mentor support.
It's simple! We help people grow their own fresh vegetables. Our survey results show that having a backyard garden and knowing how to use it:
- Increases the amount of fresh produce a family eats,
- Gets kids excited about eating fresh veggies,
- Saves money on grocery bills, and
- Builds community within neighborhoods.
We are expanding!
Next fall we will expand into Gloucester's elementary schools, bringing our comprehensive garden program to over 1300 students! Our program will build the capacity of each school community to manage their school farms over the long term. Students will:
- Learn through doing in the school garden!
- Grow and harvest their own salad greens and eat them as part of school lunch in the cafeteria.
- Plant crops in June to be harvested when they return to school in the fall as part of an annual harvest celebration.
To do this we need help…
We have an opportunity to host a FoodCorps Service Member for one year starting in September.
FoodCorps is a national nonprofit organization that works with schools to create a healthier school food environment. It is part of the AmeriCorps service network, and targets improving childhood health by placing service members in public schools around the country to teach hands-on nutrition education; build and care for school gardens; and work to bring high-quality local food to school cafeterias.
Our Service Member will build the capacity of each school to maintain productive school gardens with the goal of school gardens becoming part of the culture of each school!
Your contribution will make all this possible! Please help us raise $7,500 by donating to our campaign.
- $5,000 = Our salary contribution for a one-year, full-time FoodCorps Service Member
- $2,500 = Program expansion costs (garden & program supplies, additional staff costs)
We have some fun perks for you, including free seeds & seedlings and garden training, and some special ways for you to connect with the school garden program. If we don't reach our entire fundraising goal we will ramp up the grant writing. If we exceed our goal, we will put the funds toward the future sustainability of the Backyard Growers Program.
Help us Spread the Word!
Forward this indiegogo campaign to your people.
Like and follow Backyard Growers on Facebook.

Over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of "housekeeping" in the garden. As you may have read in last week's update, I had to re-stake the tomato plants and remove the squash from the garden. This left a lot of free space and possibilities for new additions.
On the right side of the garden you will see a small fence. This is simply three sticks (that I took from my yard) tied together with twine. This structure was made for the green beans with hopes that as they grow they will climb the fence. This should keep them from interfering with any of their neighbors!
The newest additions to the garden are Bright Lights Swiss Chard, cauliflower, Romaine Lettuce and Wooly Thyme. While the far end of the garden is looking very mature with 6+ foot tall tomato plants, the middle of the garden is filled with young plants that are just starting to grow.
You may also notice the wild-looking vine growing at the foot of the plot. That is a pumpkin that I grew from a seed! (Yes, I'm very proud to have successfully grown something from a seed!) It has been doubling in size every week. And this week I was so excited to see that a small green pumpkin has appeared!
