Bulbs for the Coastal South?
What Spring bulbs work well for the Coastal South? Paperwhites and Giant Snowflake seem to come back year after year but are there others that can go the distance as perrenials? Are there any Daffodils that work well for the Coastal South. Does anyone have experience with species tulips in this region? Any luck? What about Alliums? I just got a few bulb catalogs in and am eager to try something new but I am bit hesitant. Thanks for any help.
I've had luck with the species tulips. You have to plant them where they will stay pretty dry throughout the cooler months. Just ordered some more from the Riverbanks Zoo Fall bulb sale.
Here is a link that might be useful: Riverbanks Zoo
According to Barbara Sullivan in her "Garden Perennials for the Coastal South",(excellent book btw), the following Daffs work here-Abba, BridalGown, Cheerfulness, Sir Winston Churchill,Telamonius Plenus, and Yellow Cheerfulness for double flowering ones. St.Keverne is a good large cup choice.
There are clumps of amaryllis in the yards of older houses all over town here in Mobile. I just now transplanted a good-sized patch that started from four or five bulbs a few years ago. Mine are red with the white throats, not my favorite, but I've seen big drifts of pure white ones here too, and clear red. They bloom in April here, but then you have to put up with the big floppy leaves all summer and into fall. They need good drainage and seem to do better in at least partial shade. My neighbor has a traffic-stopping group about a yard in diameter under her water oak.

Not A Hero, A Stinger!
Mark Waid has a habit of making everything awesome , and while personally i admit that i have never really liked green hornet that much, i had to pick this up just because i saw the name MARK WAID in the right corner of the cover, and it wasn't a mistake, in fact i might keep picking this up!
First of , the art is amazing, the details are amazingly cool and it has a cool interesting feel when you go from page to page. The Character design is amazing, especially for green hornet and Kato, not to mention the fact that the actions scenes are simply baffling when mixed with the story !
As for The Plot, Waid brings new elements into the book, and it is extremely well executed. Green hornet is playing on both sides of the chess board, he tries to learn more and do more work while pretending to be a villain, which leads to many interesting things, and personally, i see a lot of potential in this, one that could be developed As time passes and the future arcs come flowing in.
The Self narrative was one thing that really stood out in this issue, it feels really amazing when you hear Green hornet talk, makes it feel like an old detective movie in some ways, not to mention the fact that it mixes well with the plot.
In short, this was an awesome issue, and though i might not be a green hornet fan , this first issue has convinced me that reading this will be a blast, which is what waid always does well !
Recombination: STING! ( thats means yes in hornet language)

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Bruce E Jarrell, MD (University of Maryland School of Medicine)
Description: This is a reprint of the esophageal section of the third edition of Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery: An Expositive Atlas (Springer, 2001). It is focused entirely on esophageal diseases since esophageal surgery has become much more of a specialty of its own.
Purpose: The purpose is to present a collection of esophageal procedures that encompass the entire practice of esophageal surgery.
Audience: Surgeons and residents practicing esophageal surgery are the intended audience.
Features: Each of the 14 chapters covers an established esophageal procedure that is either currently in use or was in use in the past as an accepted procedure. The procedures that are no longer used are defined as legacy procedures. In addition to the standard operative procedures on the esophagus, there are also chapters on basic concepts of esophageal surgery, exposure of the esophagus, esophageal perforation and managing anastomotic leaks. Each chapter begins with indications in the preoperative preparation of a patient with a particular disease. The operative strategies are discussed in detail and are followed by specific techniques used to perform the procedure. Many line drawings are used throughout. A portion of each chapter is devoted to pitfalls and danger points in the procedure as well as a discussion of the complications of each procedure. At the end of the chapter is an extensive list of references.
Assessment: This is a well designed book with many outstanding drawings. The drawings are of such high quality that a surgeon with less knowledge in esophageal surgery can understand the procedures very well. This results in a truly excellent text on esophageal technique. The inclusion of legacy procedures is very useful from both a historical standpoint as well as an understanding of the progression of the specialty to its current state. Anyone who reads or uses this book will have a superb understanding of esophageal disease from the surgical point of view.

Management of Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration: Systematic Drug Class Review and Economic Evaluation
Single and combination therapy with photodynamic therapy using verteporfin (V-PDT); anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies, including pegaptanib, ranibizumab, and bevacizumab; and steroids or analogues, anecortave acetate and triamcinolone.
Adults 40 years of age or older with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The recent emergence of several pharmacologic therapies for AMD has led to uncertainty regarding the impact of single and combination therapies as well as the optimal timing of therapy and the impact of re-treatment.
Methods and Results
Eighteen articles describing nine unique randomized trials, one controlled trial, and five case series were identified through a systematic literature review. Two cost-utility analyses in adults 40 years of age and older from the perspective of the Canadian public health care system and a patient lifetime time horizon were conducted. Pegaptanib, ranibizumab, and V-PDT were compared for predominantly classic lesions, and pegaptanib and ranibizumab were compared for all neovascular lesions. An analysis of budget impact and ethical and psychosocial issues was also conducted.
Implications for Decision Making
· Uncertainty still remains. No direct evidence demonstrating the effect of timing or re-treatment on health was found. There was insufficient evidence to suggest whether combination therapy (or which combinations) is better than monotherapy. Evidence for bevacizumab's effectiveness is less compelling than other anti-VEGF agents.
· Pegaptanib or ranibizumab represent optimal treatment strategies. Pegaptanib is the least costly strategy, and ranibizumab would be likely to be the most cost-effective strategy for those willing to pay more than an additional $59,000/quality-adjusted life year. These results are most sensitive to the cost of ranibizumab therapy and change in visual acuity. At its current price, bevacizumab is likely to be the most cost-effective strategy if it is more effective than V-PDT.
· Access, equity, and legal issues remain. Access is of issue in Canada and the UK as existing systems are over extended in meeting resource needs to achieve early referral, diagnosis, and treatment within an effective therapeutic window. Equity issues are encountered as patients incur the costs of treatment at private clinics. Continued off-label use of bevacizumab raises ethical, legal, equity, and policy implications.
This summary is based on a comprehensive health technology assessment available from CADTH's web site (www.cadth.ca): Brown A, Hodge W, Cruess A, Blackhouse G, Hopkins R, McGahan L, Sharma S, Pan I, Blair J, Vollman D, Morrison A.

Lowes for good stock?
Any opinions on Lowes fruit? My local store had tons of trees, plants, and vines today. I was particularly interested in several grape vines and a tree or two.
I bought two plum trees form them last year, and they both survived. I guess I am wondering if the plants are what they say they are and if people had good luck with their growth and production compared to other suppliers. I have read good things about starks (and plan on buying somethings from them), but lowes is definitely cheaper on some items + the trees are quite large for the price (4-6' trees for $20).
Thanks in advance for any input~
I've only bought a few things (some blackberries, strawberries, and an Issai kiwi) from Stark Bros. I've not been impressed. I would have been ticked off if their stuff wasn't so cheap. Plan on whatever they ship meeting the minimum of your expectations. I would say they are of average to below average quality. I have not ordered fruit trees from them though, perhaps those are better.
What I have read in these forums is that you want to look out for trees that have had a lot of root damage when purchasing from the big box stores. I cannot really speak from personal experience on the quality of trees at Lowes.
You know what you are getting buying from Starks and other reputable nurseries. They have sent me all good stuff this past year.
At Lowes you are probably going to do ok. You get a fertilizer forced root bound tree with hopefully clean soil. But there it happens enough that you get a plant that isn't what the tag says. There is no knowledge of rootstock, it may just say dwarf and another tag that says 'grows to 35 feet'.
I've purchased a few items here and there from the larger retailers and it all depends on the characteristics of the individual store. I have found that the staff makes all the difference when taking care of the product lines. Some retailers seem to have a dedicated staff who through training and experience know how to care for the products, while others are simply not provided with the correct tools to learn the roots. Depending on your own skill level I would try to purchase certain items earlier in the season therefore you are the one who will be responsible for the upkeep of the product. Otherwise you may run the chance of the products becoming either sold or neglected. I've also noticed that some retailers don't seem to restock certain products, once they are sold, you then may need to wait until next year. Also don't forget to check into seeing if the retailer has a warranty, which is good for some of the more expensive products.
When something doesn't grow from Lowes you have to dig the dead stick up to get your exchange/refund.
I suppose that's to be expected with an in person store but aggravating when you're trying to beat the one year mark and have to dig in mud.
My 2 living cherry trees are from Lowes and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them that wouldn't be wrong with any other store that crams their trees together to maximize space.
You do know that bigger does not mean better don't you?
The size that people often complain about with Starks and other mail orders is what is best.
I saw at my local Lowes yesterday that they have winseap and golden delicious 7 - 8 feet tall for $19.99 but I wouldn't buy them if they were $1.99. Its fun to look but those trees take a long time to recover from whatever they have to do to fit those huge roots into those 3 gallon plastic pots. On top of that they have to survive being transplanted again into a spot in your yard. Double shock.
I imagine every area can be diffrent but the Lowes and H.Depots in my area have super bad reps for having mislabled stock. I know one person who thought something was wrong with her apple because it looked and tasted strange. Turns out it was an orient pear that had been labled as a yellow deliciuos apple. Lots of horror stories of these types of things happening. I would stick to a local retailer who handles locally grown trees before I headed down that road. Just my thought.
Have seen creative labeling of trees at Home Despot here as well. These and Slowe's I've noticed getting bedding plants etc. from local growers, but the trees and shrubs seem to be mostly trucked in from outside the region. Kinds not hardy here being offered as outdoor stock or with southern location growers indicated on the tags are good hints. (Some plants hardy here are obtained primarily from California nurseries even at independent outlets). Packaged fruit trees etc. appear to be the same as those at supermarkets etc.
With fruit trees the first thing to check is if these are the right varieties for your area. If not locally adapted it doesn't matter what condition they are in.
For the investment in time and care before you see (or more likely don't see) one piece of fruit three or four years down the road, you've gotta be nuts to buy fruit trees from a big box. I can probably guess the sorry varieties of grapes they're selling.
Thanks for all the advice guys!
I bought two plum trees from them last year, and they did better than my expensive nursery stock (I am a little concerned that they could turn out to be standard size, or different variety than labeled). Their first year they are larger than all but one of my tress that are several years older! I do realize that my previously HORRIBLE soil was likely the largest contributor to slow development (nothing grew there).
So, I do understand that bigger is not always better... But I was curious what everyone here thought of them. If I could save money, get larger trees, and not have to wait a couple weeks to get my my trees and vines I would have been happy to give them my money. I am mostly concerned they could be mislabeled (that would be worse to me than buying a dead plant, then you lose years growing and your money!).
I think I will give starks a try for a most of this years stock.
Thanks again,
"For the investment in time and care before you see (or more likely don't see) one piece of fruit three or four years down the road, you've gotta be nuts to buy fruit trees from a big box. I can probably guess the sorry varieties of grapes they're selling."
Different people, different situations, different experiences.
I got cherries on both my Montmorency and Northstar the year after planting.
2 years after planting I had plenty.
I don't know what is up with the Montmorency but I suspect it is the same strain as what Stark is selling as "starkspur" because it's loaded and has quite a few doubles.
They weren't mislabeled and the strains are satisfactory.
These two trees are kind of disposable for me. The Montmorency will probably get enough growth to out grow them but I expect the Northstar will be dead in about 5 years from the borers.
If I was ordering other things from Stark I would've thrown them in but otherwise it's not worth it for me to pay shipping on a tree I expect to die quickly or to pay a huge premium to buy from a local nursery.
The only bonus I would've got ordering was I wouldn't have had to prune the lower branches on the Northstar as high as I had to because of Lowes' overcrowding.
This year I was ordering from Starks and I plan on trying grapes. But I'm going to pay the premium for grapes from the nursery rather than Starks because I only like Starks for trees and I figure the local will have a selection better suited to my extreme locality (Starks is in my general locality which is why I use them for trees).
I wouldn't buy an apple from Lowes but would have no problem getting another Montmorency from them. When I bought an pear from a local nursery it ended up being a Stark bare root shoved into a pot the same year I bought it (no roots).
The apple trees from Lowes in Louisville, KY are from a nursery called Judkins in TN. I just called Judkins to ask what type of root stock their apple trees are grafted to, and was told that they only use "domestic seed grown root stock". I still don't know if they are suitable for this region. It did'nt do me any good to ask. I started another post on this topic earlier today to see if anyone has heard of a nursery that does'nt use a commercial type root stock like EMLA-111 or any of the other types described by the online fruit tree nurseries.
garbird, Good find about Lowes selling seedling Apples. Professional tool stores warned me their lower price drills etc have plastic bushings instead of roller bearings. So I wouldn't doubt their growers use seed to save a buck. Folks will have to come back and buy longer ladders too.
They are not seedling apples. They are apple varieties that are grafted onto seedling root stock. I just wonder how they know if the root stock is going to be dwarfing or standard. The trees are labeled semi-dwarf. I'm just concerned about the grwth characteristics of these domestic seed grown root stocks. Will they produce healthy semi-dwarf trees in my climate zone?
That's the problem with Lowes, HD, etc. Although you get the instant gratification of "seeing what you're getting," you really don't know what you'll end up with in the end. You can get healthy 2-year stock on a known rootstock for less than $20 shipped from a reputable mailorder source, so why continue the investigation?
I have this to say. I ordered blueberries from Burnt Ridge, and I was in shock when I opened them. They were roots in soil covered with damp newspaper. Very poor packing for shipping, and the poor little things had to undergo more shock when I planted them! They seem OK, but I'm sure the trip through UPS was devastating for them!
I have NEVER had a problem with Lowes, HD, or even Walmart!! I will not order from Burnt Ridge again!
This is the 2nd post I've replied to like this in the last couple daysÂ
What it sounds like you received were bare root plants, which is what most online nurseries ship. Were you expecting bare root plants? I agree, the nice nursery websites and catalogs often don't make this obvious. The bare root plants I've seen usually come with no soil at all.... some web newspaper stripes inside a plastic bag, inside a box. If you're not expecting this, than it can be quite a shock. But, the plants will grow and will do just fine.
If you look at Burnt Ridge at Daves Garden Watchdog, you will see that they have a very high customer review rating. See here.
I agree with Glenn (and I think I responded to your earlier thread). I've bought 100's of plants from Burnt Ridge and can vouch that their packaging is very well suited to dormant bareroot plants. 99% of my plants have done well once they were established. Ordering a bareroot plant means you'll be getting a bundle of plants with their roots surrounded by wet newspaper, sawdust, moss, peat, etc, in a plastic bag. If you want potted plants you have to pay more, pay much higher shipping (to ship all the dirt), and accept a limited selection. One of the best sources for potted plants is Edible Landscaping. Hartmann's also sells potted blueberries. Or you can roll the dice and buy them from a big box store (non-grafted and small root system plants such as blueberries, as opposed to trees, are actually one of the safer things to buy from them, assuming you like their selection).
Garbird - those seedling rootstocks will make standard size trees. It's very misleading that they are calling them semi-dwarf. You simply don't know what kind of roots you'll get from a seedling unlike a regular rootstock where every tree is the same and the characteristics are well known. Any decent mail order place will have much better rootstocks that will control size and give you earlier fruiting which a seedling rootstock will not do. I'm ordering from Raintree this year for the first time based on some reviews on this forum and the wide selection.
Desertdance - I've had several plants shipped to me that way and they did well. It's much more common to not have any dirt on them at all which is cheaper for shipping. I've even ordered roses that were sent completely bare with no packing or dirt or newspaper at all and those did fine too. So I wouldn't worry about your blueberries.
I agree..it's misleading to call those trees grafted to seedling rootstocks anything but full-sized. Even an actual semi-dwarfing rootstock would give you 75-95% of full-size, That's still a very vigorous tree. Also a bit misleading to say that alot of these trees are 'mislabelled'. Might lead one to believe that it was an accident.
.... for clearing that up. And I agree. I purchased many fruit trees from my local nursery fellow that I picked up in person due to close proximity. I finally made a purchase that I felt I could not go pick up in person, and the product was shipped to me. When it arrived, it was wrapped in moist newspaper. I thought if I were a first time customer I may seriously question this method of shipping but after already doing business with this quite proficient fellow, I planted the trees and they exploded with growth.
As for Lowes, I once asked them what their rootstock was and they replied "fruit".
Mislabeling of plants at the big box stores is a common scenario. I had a friend who worked for a time as a propagator at one of the big nurseries in McMinnville, TN, and they indicated that it was common for the big box folks to buy 'overruns/seconds' from them, but they did not want them labeled - they would provide their own - so...that 'Orient' pear might actually be a Bartlett or Keiffer, or who knows what.
I've know more than one person who bought 'bargain' fruit trees at a big box and when they fruited, it was very apparent that they were NOT the variety that was on the label when they purchased them. Heck, one guy bought a Santa Rosa plum that turned out to be a Fuyu-type Asian persimmon.
I've never ordered from Burnt Ridge, but I've always seen good reports from folks who have, whom I know are good experienced orchardists. They typically indicate that BR's plants are small, but establish well and grow vigorously, if provided appropriate care.
I'll second Lucky's experience. When I started planting trees here in 2002, I went with big box (Walmart). One time I bought two white peach trees (labeled White Princess). Maybe they meant "Yellow Princess", cause they produce yellow peaches. Another time my wife bought a couple plum trees from Walmart, that were labeled as the same cultivar. However, their leaves were different and they bloomed at different times. One of them produced fruit, that seemed to me, to be of such poor quality, it was probably the rootstock fruiting. The other one died (my fault though). A fifth tree I purchased from Walmart, seems to be labeled correctly. It was labeled as a Red Bartlett. It does indeed produce red fruit, with the Bartlett taste.
I found some blueberry plants at Lowe's this weekend & bought them. The box didn't say if what type, only the name & zone. After researching the names, they are all northern highbush & I need SH or rabbiteye, so back they go. You would think they would have varieties for our area. I guess I'll order mine online. Good luck
bare root is always best with fruit trees as they adjust to the soil better and adapt to the new environment much sooner than a root bound potted plant. I have never lost but one bare root tree and it grew from the root stock and became a thorny pear instead of a Asian pear. beautiful blooms no fruit.
I work in a Lowe's garden center, and it is known as the best one in our district. I spent most of my day today sorting fruit trees, making sure they were arranged by kind and type (all apricots, specific kinds of apricots grouped together), printing signs to specify types (instead of "assorted apricots", which is the SKU), carefully placing them with distance between each plant, turned to minimize overlap with other plants, lifting by the pot and not the trunk. Plants arrive with a "pretty tag" with a photo on it, but also a white tag that is harder to remove which also states the variety.
That being said, I know that not all of our garden centers do this. Even if they do, as time goes by, plants get pulled in and out by customers and limbs are broken, etc. In a good center, there is at least one person who can discuss recessive genes, cross-pollination, and grafting. In ours, we have two. The best approach is to ask for the specialist, and see what happens. Usually, one or two stores in a 100 mile radius are decent. I have never seen a variety deliberately passed off as a more popular one(for example a common pink crepe myrtle labeled Tonto)at my store...we just explain we are out of that variety. But I can't vouch for all stores. I have also seen plants come in with completely and egregiously wrong labels/cards from the growers (as in 50 creeping St. John's Wort with Gerber daisy cards in them)
Better to buy early, when they have come in recently, and good luck!
Dallas, Texas, Lemmon and Inwood Location
I have had the best luck with the trees, the cherry trees especially, the first time i brought them home, they had tons of cherries ripen and they were good, I look for the trees there that have lots of branches and i watered them like crazy, hope this helps.
Every tree I have purchased has been from either lowes or HD. Both of these stores in California get the stock from Pacific Grove or other reputable dealers/orchards. Mostly everything I have seen and bought has been bare root and in a PRE LABELED bag or labeled from the orchard themselves. All of my trees from my red baron peach (The best most juciest red yellow peach I have ever eaten) to my Satsum/Santa Rosa/Itallian Prune 3in1 plum tree has been bought from HD and Lowes and these trees have flourished and tasted great! If you know what you are looking for you should have no problems buying from either one of these two big box stores. Most of the time the sales people have no idea about how to grow or what tree is what. I never rely on the workers for advice and if I do need help I ask for the SPECIALIST. HD and Lowes get their stock from good dealers so if they are mislabeled it is probably due to a mistake or because it is the last of the stock late in the season. My advice is to know what you are looking for and get there early in the season and buy BARE ROOT in the bag. That way if it mislabeled or in the wrong bag you know it is a mistake from the grower and not HD/Lowes.
I have only bought one navel orange from wal mart and it is a little slow to grow but the oranges are so sweet and juicy! I know I have been lucky but I know what I want before I buy it! Research what type of fruit tree you want before you decide to buy and then go early in the season when they first get their stock to make sure you are not picking through the left overs that could possibly mis labeled due to the million other hands that have already been on them!
There is nothing wrong with big box stores as long as you know what to look for and dont go in expecting everything to be handed to you on a silver platter with gold fruit dripping from the branches..lol You have to remember that MANY MANY other people shop there as well and are always moving plants around and misplacing things and alot of the workers have their heads up their yoo-hoos.
I purchased several Lowe's fruit trees on clearance in '09, and they are beautiful and healthy. And all but one produced a fair amount of fruit this year (didn't get it covered enough when a late freeze rolled in and it got the blooms). And each tree has turned out to be the variety that its label indicated. They are still young, so I don't know if they are going to be semi-dwarfs as indicated or not, but on the off chance that some of them turned out to be standards I simply planted each tree as if it were a standard. But then I do that with expensive nursery stock, too...just in case. :)
Would I purchase from Lowe's again? Most definitely!

Comments about 'Utes football: Utah returns a vast amount of experience at safety'
- Oldest first

- Most recommended
Unfortunately, experience doesn't equal wins or even a good defense. In
2011 and 2012 Utah had a dominant defensive front which made the secondary look
a whole lot better than they really were. You are losing 3 of 4 starters on the
defensive line, and both starting corners. And with easily the toughest schedule
in school history, the defense will be in for a rocky season. In fact, unless
the offense has a huge turnaround year, Utah will likely end up sitting home
again come December/January.
Best case scenario for Utah is starting out 4-0 before facing a brutal grind where they very well could go 0-6, then the final 2 games will decide whether Utah will finish .500 or not.
Just a realistic look at the Utes chances in 2013.
This coming season will have plenty of surprises I'm sure, But I don't see the Utes rising to the top half of the PAC-12, or even top 3 in the Pac-12 South.

Obviously Blechen was a big disappointment last year, from his suspension to his subpar play after returning. Rowe was a bit of a mixed bag. His tackling was vastly better, but his coverage wasn't as good as his freshman year. Quade is a solid backup, and hopefully Carter will be as advertised and be more determined to play to his potential than he was at Cal.

Broccoli not producing heads
It's my first time growing broccoli but my landlord swears this plot produces great broccoli. My first row was planted the week before Mother's Day and the second row in the last week of May. Neither of them have produced heads and the first row's broccoli plants are something like 1 1/2 feet long! What's going on? Can anyone help please??
My broccoli can get quite tall before the head starts to form. If you measure the height of the perkiest leaves, I think mine are about knee height or a little above and I just picked my first heads today (transplanted outside May 14). If you gently push the little leaves away in the centre, can you see anything there? I have a very early variety (55 days), but main-season varieties can take up to 70 days (adjusted for your conditions of course). What is the name of your broccoli? If the plants look healthy, it might be a matter of waiting just a little longer.
Veggielover, mine grew real big too, knee high, huge leaves, then suddenly one day around the first week of July, boom! They all started to produce heads. Were it cooler, I believe the heads would have been larger. Be patient, and like macky says, look deep inside the growing tip. I'll bet you see the first forms of a head.
Veggielover, sorry I don't know how to get them to set heads either. Mine were planted out in May. One has only leaves. Two produced heads (small), of which one bolted immediately, flowered, and now has fat seed pods. Yesterday, I noticed a new flower stalk, so more seeds are on the way. I need not buy seeds next year. Pollinators, on the other hand, are very scarce this year.
I'm in zone 6 in AR and we always plant our spring broccoli, cauliflower and cabbages no later than mid-April and preferably the end of March, weather permitting. This gives the plants plenty of cool weather to mature without bolting and we get lots of gorgeous heads. Our broccoli was all in the freezer by mid June. I've just planted seed for a fall crop and will set them out around the end of August. It's a pain keeping the insects off of them but putting a row cover on helps and keep them watered. Come the cooler nights of September they take off and by the time they are ready to harvest in the fall, guess what, no worms! It's wonderful and we have some years that we are still picking side shoots in November.
Thank you everyone!! I'll just keep waiting it out and see what happens! I'm glad to hear that I might just be impatient, not that I messed up. I do think the hot weather here may be a factor, too. (Northern IL) But I'll wait and see...!! thanks!
Rinse, and cut the wet broccoli leaves in strips; saute a few minutes till tender in olive oil with butter and salt. Serve on sliced, crisp sauteed potatoes. Top with a slice of sauteed ham and an egg over-easy (or poached).
Think Eggs Benedict..... w/sauteed potato slices (instead of bread).
Note: if you don't have enough broccoli leaves, add Swiss chard, kale, cabbage leaves, whatever greens you have on hand. Kale takes a few minutes longer to cook tender than Swiss chard leaves, so they (kale) go in the pan first. Usually a little water is needed in the pan when sauteing kale (or use a juicy tomato). I don't cover w/a lid.
I boil red potatoes and skin them when cold. Store in fridge. When needed, cut in thick slices, and saute in butter/olive oil + salt till brown and crisp. They brown readily and are delicious under all sorts of sauteed greens. Sauteed ham and soft eggs on top is easy to prepare and delicious.
I will not be growing broccoli or cauliflower in the spring. I did it last year which reminded me of why I should not. We go from cool springs to hot summers. I always seem to have had head lettuce bolt, broccoli flower or have deformed cauliflower if I even get a head. The plants get nice and big just ready to yield and then the heat comes...oh except for this year when I did not plant any.
But the basic problem is in the Midwest we just don't get a flat temperature going into summer. I see these as good fall crops because they will mature into cold weather.
Solanacease: Hi. Cen. IL here. My packman brocolli set heads just fine. They were all cut and ate. But when the side shoots starting forming heads they seemed to turn to seed real quick. So I pulled the plants. Should I have waited out the heat? just left the plants to see what they would do in early fall? I didn't know there was a dormant period. TY
There isn't a dormant period with broccoli, if you want fall broccoli you must plant again in late summer. Fall plants do great in most midwest areas. Plants should be started now in order to be ready to plant out around the end of Aug or early Sept. Mine are up and will be transplanted to separate them very soon. Insects are a big problem for the first few weeks but then taper off until you usually have very clean heads when they mature.
Hey minirose. Yes I have broccoli seeds sowed outside in a teeny-tiny greenhouse. I couldn't get Packman, All I could find was Del Cicco. Have you every tried it?
It's an old Italian variety. But it takes 90 days. I'll be fine with an Oct.20th frost date. I can cover. :)
Hi all from the far nord'ern reaches of WI.
I've already harvested 4 times off of my PacMan...gotta love our cold nights!....
My question for you all is...I wonder if anyone has suggestions for what to use to cover the softball size cauliflower heads froming? I used to use kneehighs at this point....is there something intended for that use?? thanks in advance...lynnann
Here is a link that might be useful: LynnAnn's Path to Nature
UPDATE! I decided that my plants were too close together and were crowded. So I pulled the majority of them out and left just 6. Shortly after that one produced a head, which I cut right before it started to turn yellow, though it was just about 4 inches across. It was delicious!! The other plants - still no heads. I think I'm just going to chalk it up to too much heat. And I hoped to plant some fall broccoli but can't find any seed at the shops around town so perhaps that won't work either. But next year I'll plan better. Live and learn!
Fall broccoli season is here already in my patch. The first heads are nearly ready to harvest. These were sown in plastic pots on the picnic table on June 16. They were set out on July 10. They never missed a beat and are huge. They have a bit of shade for some of the day. I have several varieties and two sowings to spread out things a bit.
I am laughing as this is the time of years most folks are tired of gardening, and letting their gardens flop. I decided this year, that I was going to make the ground do an encore. I have four or five rows of the second planting of cabbage in and as small as it is, it's starting to curl in to form heads. The broccoli is started and ready to transplant, and will have enough time to mature and is growing on in large cells until we have a good rain, and it'll be set out then. I left my limas in and they're heavy with bloom again, and will put out another flush, I have the second sowing of greenbeans in too, and one batch of them is in flower. Got four new rows of loose leaf lettuce sprouting, and three more rows of radishes leafing out.
The parsnips I planted early will be ready to pull when frost hits, and the celery holds up fine under a loose hay mulch well into December. The shallots and onions are pulled, dried and braided, but the leeks will also hold on until January.
It's been such a weird weather year, and I've had to fight critters this year and lost my corn crop (five hundred plants).......so I have to max it out to make the quota of food I normally produce in a year.
Wow..ok so I am not alone in my wondering about my broccoli. Glad to hear lol. Oregons growing season was so completly screwed up this year! The apple trees were blooming and then we got snow! Anyways...my broccoli plants: I planted by seed (first time ever), they took forever to come up. I was about to count them out and plant some thing else when I notice 5 plants that seemingly appeared over night. So I have nurtured them, and they are beautiful...but still no flowerets...I'll just keep waiting...

The Detroit Red Wings agreed to a $5.5 million, one-year contract with Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. Detroit also added Stephen Weiss from the Florida Panthers.
Senators general manager Bryan Murray responded by acquiring forward Bobby Ryan in a trade with Anaheim.
Less than a year after the NHL's latest lockout, many teams in the league spent big bucks on free agents despite a smaller salary cap heading into next season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets were among the big spenders, signing Nathan Horton to a $37.1 million, seven-year deal.

4" ic vs 6" led vs 4" led
Hi all,
I'm very new to lighting, but recently ran across an item where we could presumably save some money. The architect spec'd 150 4" incandesent recessed lights for the new house we are building. Not sure if that's a lot, and wasn't really paying attention to it until a contractor said if we switched those to 6" LEDs. He said that would be significantly cheaper ($50/can savings). But presumably the architect spec'd the 4" because the size is smaller and looks nicer. To which I wonder, perhaps I should see if there are 4" LEDs.
Apologies in advance for what i might have learned with more effort. I started to read the threads on the first few pages, but I got lost in the acronyms and could not find an easy to understand pro/con list. If you can point me to a source, my thanks and apologies. Or if you don't mind replying many thanks in advance.
Have a great day
Yes there are 4" LED can lights - CR4 (for example).
The following thread has more information
Here is a link that might be useful: Recessed light guide
Ok, I did some more research and went to a lighting store. They had Sylvania RT4 and it looked good. I think I prefer the 3000k color temp over the 2700k color temp.
Can anyone point me to a comparison between Sylvania RT4 and the Cree CR4? I read the lengthy "Design Guide for Kitchen" thread and other threads, and it appears that everyone favors the Cree. But why is it better than the Sylvania? I know I like the look--on and off--of the Sylvania. How does Cree CR4 look in comparison?
Thanks in advance
I didn't bring home a 4" Sylvania, but I can provide a comparison to the RT6.
I, too, prefer the 3000k color over the Ecosmart/CREE 2700k color.
Both dim well down to very low levels, using cheap incandescent dimmers.
The RT6 has a short turn-on delay, in the range of 1/2 second. No deal breaker, but not as instant as the CREE.
I ended up going with the cheaper 6" Ecosmart (I do think 4" looks better). Partly for the cost, and partly for the instant on, and partly because I can get brighter 6" LEDs in the areas I need (island, sink), and use the cheaper 575 lumen ones elsewhere.
Since I have to meet California Title 24 for the kitchen, part of the higher cost was that Sylvania charges $8 for an adapter (cost of manufacture ~ 12 cents) to go from their connector to a GU24 socket.
Either one is a good choice, in my opinion.
Thanks for the responses. I will see if I can find a CREE CR4 in person to compare the appearance. Pictures on the web make it look similar/same as the Sylvania RT4. If they look the same on the outside, then I guess my debate will come down to white color temp (3000k RT4) vs better response time and better dimming (CR4). There does not seem to be a big cost difference according to internet pricing.
Sorry to hear about the additional California requirement. I don't think we have that here. I'm all about being green, but it often seems that it is an excuse to charge a price premium that isn't ultimately reflected in the energy savings unless it is factored over a very, very long time.

Wednesday, April 15
w/ Tim Easton
The songs do all the convincing on his new album The No-Hit Wonder. There's a timeless craftsmanship in these deceptively simple songs about love and home, losses and dreams. Branan's had his fair share of each since completing his critically acclaimed Bloodshot debut MUTT in 2012, losing several beloved family members, getting married, and having two kids. He spent all this time touring heavily with artists across the spectrum, including The Gaslight Anthem and Jason Isbell (who appears here on "You Make Me" and "The Highway Home"). The pull of settling down and push of life's unavoidable unsettlings inform much of the new record, which navigates the lows while celebrating the highs with fresh urgency. Read more

Sad news for all those Justin Timberlake fans out there. You're going to have to wait a few more months to see your favorite pop singer turned SNL comedian turned Oscar-contender again on the big screen.
Sony has pushed back his next film, Bad Teacher, to June 17, 2011. In the comedy, he stars with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins, and Jason Segel. The film, written by The Office writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, follows Diaz as a foul-mouthed, bitter, and irrelevant middle-school teacher. A.K.A. a job that means dealing with 12-year-old kids putting their fingers in each others' ears for eight hours a day.
In the press release, Sony Marketing and Distribution chairman Jeff Blake said he was pretty excited about the film.
"We love how this movie is shaping up, and our early test screenings confirm our confidence," he said. "We have had tremendous results with summer comedies in the past several years, from Superbad and Step Brothers to Grown Ups and The Other Guys. Summer audiences want movies that will make them laugh out loud and we think Bad Teacher is the perfect choice for older teens and adults who are looking for a film that will make them look at the high school experience and do just that."
So there you have it. Expect to see Justin Timberlake love your mother next summer.

BRONSON - This past February, the Humane Society of Levy County held an outdoor concert at the Youth League Park, touting country star Chris Cagle.
It was so successful and everybody had so much fun, they decided to do it again.
The second annual HSLC Bark-N-Purr Concert will be held on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009 at Bo Diddley Park (formerly BYL Park).
Bronson approved the date at the Monday night monthly meeting.
The Levy County Commission approved four fees landowners pay and is holding a public hearing on the fees - which remain the same as last year- at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 2.
The fees approved are:
_ $75 preliminary Emergency Medical Services Tax Assessment Rat
_ $25 assessment Solid Waste Assessment
_ A variable Roadway Maintenance Service Assessment, and
_ $31 Fire Protection Services fee.
Even though the rates will not be increased, they must be approved annually and a public hearing must be held, County Coordinator Fred Moody said.
Imagine traveling down the open road, warm sunshine on your skin, crisp blue autumn skies ahead, and scenic nature views all around. Come early autumn, there's no better place to be than Levy County, Florida's famed Natural Paradise. Bikers from all over Florida and the Southeastern U.S. are invited to take in the views and ride amongst friends-your day of fun will help the Levy County Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC).

Lundy explained some of his philosophies and needs to the Chiefland Rotary Club members at their July 23 meeting at Bell's Restaurant.
Lundy is beginning his second year as head coach of CHS basketball.
There were growing pains for the players and coach in Lundy's first season. There were ups and downs as the Indians posted a record of 9-18.
A Morriston woman is still hospitalized and undergoing surgery to repair her legs after a red fox attacked her on Friday morning, and her husband wounded her while trying to kill the animal.
Pat and Don Vrana of Southeast 186th Avenue were checking their yard on Friday morning after they spotted a suspicious animal when the female fox attacked them. Don Vrana was able to get away from the fox but he could not get the fox off his wife's leg.
The Chiefland Police Department has seen the light and will be saving on its fuel bill as a result.
The "enlightment" came when the department ran a test on a police car without the familiar rooftop light bar, using lights that are mounted inside the windshields.
Chief Robert Douglas said he decided to go with the new lights after doing a test drive. "I did a test drive for 50 miles," he said. "Without the light bar I got 25 miles per gallon and with the light bar on I got 16 miles per gallon."
Chiefland property owners can breathe a sigh of relief as their property tax rates will go down a smidgen this year.
However the Chiefland City Commission received proposals to raise fees, water and sewer rates, to go to a four-day work week and discussed the possibility of tying future fee and rate increases to the Consumer Price Index.
The City Commission voted in its regular meeting Monday night to lower the rate from 4.7536 mills to 4.75 mills and to hold its budget meetings on September 9 and 23.
