Barcode Scanner+ (Plus)
Barcode Scanner+ is an enhanced version of the popular, free Barcode Scanner application, which is a product of the ZXing open-source barcode scanning library from Google. Barcode Scanner+ is based on the same code, and has been developed by one of the two primary authors of the original Barcode Scanner, Sean Owen.
Barcode Scanner+ includes all of Barcode Scanner's functionality, and is intended as a drop-in replacement for Barcode Scanner. It adds several enhancements:
Better barcode scanning
- New image processing algorithm for detection of 1D barcode formats, including UPC and EAN product codes
- Uses both cores of dual-core processors
- Optionally, scan for Aztec and PDF417 barcodes (note: PDF417 support is 'alpha' quality)
- Rewritten to take advantage of Java 6, Android 2.2+ APIs, and latest Android SDK features
Refined user interface
- Now scan in tall "portrait" orientation, in addition to "landscape" orientation
- More intuitive pattern-based scanning guide
- Streamlined and improved user interface elements
- Android 4 and tablet device support
- Expanded Help screens
New features
- Decode a barcode from an image file
- Option to scan light-on-dark barcodes
- Activate device's LED light to scan in low light
- Basic support for scanning NFC tags
- Amazon product information
Also available in "simple" version, without functionality that requires special permission. See "Barcode Scanner+ Simple".
Purchasing this application also supports development of the ZXing open-source barcode scanning library.
Barcode Scanner+ does not collect, store or transmit information about its users, nor usage of the application. The application accesses personal information such as contacts and bookmarks only in order to implement application functionality, such as sharing contacts and bookmarks by QR Codes on screen.

Mushing has been a surprising venture for Eureka musher Brent Sass, who has wholeheartedly accepted the wilderness lifestyle many mushers have rejected in recent years. Sass claimed his first Yukon Quest championship in February.
Race leading mushers arrive in Unalakleet along the Norton Sound coast on Sunday, March 15, 2015.
Yuka Honda tells the story of her dog team getting tangled up on the Iditarod race trail, only to have four-time champion Jeff King come along and run over her sled, rendering it unusable. The incident happened at the beginning of the race, just before Nenana, but Honda managed to obtain another sled and continue along the trail.

Ceiling fan light kit--am I wasting my time?
I recently purchased a ceiling fan that I really like. It's one of the re-packaged big box store brands. The fan works great, but unfortunately I let myself become blinded by the style and didn't really pay much attention to it only taking 3 40 watt candlebra bulbs. The light is completely inefficient. We've got the fan in the bedroom, so it's not the end of the world, but I would like a smidge more light. I've called the big box store, who put me through to their parts department, and after days and days, essentially no one can help me because they "make over 800 different fans and have no way of knowing which parts might be interchangeable." 0.o
I've searched many of the lighting websites for light kits and googled "universal light kit." The problem is I would like to keep the glass shade on the fan, and all of the light kits I'm finding have some kind of shade involved. It's really just the small part where the 3 light bulbs screw into that I would like to replace. It seems simple enough, as all I had to do to install that piece was connect black & white wires to the fan. There wasn't even a wire nut involved; the two ends literally just plugged into each other. I'm running out for work, but could post pictures of what I'm describing later.
Anyways, my questions are:
Am I wasting my time looking for this replacement part?
I'd screw in a higher watt bulb, but I can't find a candlebra bulb higher than 40 watt. Or is that just a plain bad idea? Assuming I found one of higher wattage...

I was born in Margaret River where my parents had a sheep and cattle property. In the late 1960's they established the Cape Mentelle vineyard in partnership with two other families.
Guests at Slow Dog House leave saying what a wonderful time they've had here. Perhaps it's to do with the bush, or listening to the waves at night, or watching the kangaroos feeding in the paddock, but I think this is one of the most magical places in the world.

Hibiscus moscheutos 'Party Favor'
Is anyone growing this variety? It's a new one...only out a year or two. Pink flower with dark red eye and red stems, and is supposed to have a much longer bloom period than other Hibiscus moscheutos cultivars. Wondering how it's performed for others. Also wondering how it compares to 'Lady Baltimore'.
Is this in the same series as "Brandy Punch"? No idea what is giving me that idea, but I must have gotten that notion somewhere. Anyway, if it is, I can say I am thrilled with Brandy Punch - excellent performer. Bloomed early August into mid-September this year. Fabulous color, and I enjoy the bit of reddish tinge in the foliage (it's not *that* pronounced, but it's there). I pinch all my hibiscus multiple times through the late spring/early summery for bushier plants and heavier blooming, and this one definitely needs it - based on growth habit of mine, I can see where it would be a two-stem wonder without pinching, so that may be a drawback if you're not one to keep up with pinching.
If it's not in the same series, disregard the above...unless of course it entices you to run out and buy "Brandy Punch" :0b

Hornworms from Hell
This is my first year gardening so every new pest is new to me. One day as I was examining one of my few tomato plants, I saw some eggs on the underside of the leaves. I plucked off all the ones that I could see and continued to monitor the plant.
I skipped gardening ONE DAY and in that time all of the leaves off my biggest plant were eaten and a smaller plant was completely devastated. The culprit was hornworms, of course.
I found four of these critters and gave them to my daughter to put in her bug house with explicit instructions not to let them loose. They spent the night outside in their new home.
The next morning I went out with the secret intent to squash all four bugs before they could do anymore damage only to find that THEY HAD EATEN THEIR WAY OUT of the bug box. Is there no stopping these guys?
It will be hard to do but if any of the hornworms have what looks like white rice sticking on them, let them live. The white rice is the eggs of a parasitic wasp that will kill the hornworm. I did not see any hornworms last year but did move the tomatoes to a new location. I hope the wasps prevented the hornworms from laying eggs. Good luck.
I bought some BT today. I have not seen any hornworms with the wasp sacks on them however I did notice some wasps in and around the tomato plants today so that's a good sign. I've been trying to be as organic as possible but BT looks like a pretty safe option.

Thai court says April 2 election "unconstitutional"
May 8, 2006
BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand's Constitutional Court ruled
on Monday that the inconclusive April 2 general election was
unconstitutional and a new poll should be held, one of the 14
judges told reporters after a meeting of the court.
"The Constitutional Court voted 8 to 6 that the elections
were unconstitutional and voted 9 to 5 to hold a new election,"
Judge Ura Wangomklang told reporters. A court spokesman was due
to address a news conference later.

Silicon Valley's top 6 development challenges for 2014
- Lauren Hepler
- Economic Development Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
With tens of millions of dollars trading hands in Silicon Valley mergers, aquisitions and real-estate deals, it's easy to get jaded about the area's affluence.
But beyond the nap pods, indoor slides and other byproducts of the tech talent war, local cities, businesses and area residents have some serious obstacles to contend with.
I've already singled out five Silicon Valley cities to watch, but whether the region's ambitious development goals pan out hangs on several nagging regional obstacles. While job creation, IPOs and construction all accelerated last year, the region faces both short- and long-term economic development challenges.
Silicon Valley's response — or a lack of a response — will determine if recent growth can be sustained and how many local residents benefit from the wealth generated in the region. The catch: These entrenched issues can't be solved by one city alone, requiring regional coordination that in the past has proven rare.
1. Housing
There aren't many ways to slice it; not everyone can afford $2,050 monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment, but that is now the going rate in Silicon Valley. As of last month, we know that Santa Clara County now faces a $222 million annual affordable housing shortfall.
On top of obvious concerns about lower-income earners being able to afford shelter, employers are worrying about their ability to attract talent to a place known for prohibitively expensive real estate. New developer fees, legislative policy changes and most importantly, new funding mechanisms, are all on the table.
2. Retail
Silicon Valley's restaurant and high-end booze scenes are booming, but brick and mortar retail is a different story. Redevelopment agencies formerly helped offset some retail costs, but new e-commerce competition and increasing rents have made the in-person retailer's job more difficult than ever.
Pop-up stores and unconventional markets are two retail strategies that have gained ground in recent years, and developers throughout the region are also looking to mixed-use projects to help fill the void. Tech providers, meanwhile, profess a goal to help retailers use data to drive sales on and offline.
3. Sports wildcards
The economic impact of sports teams is a long-debated issue, but that isn't stopping Silicon Valley cities from hanging their development hopes on professional sports franchises.
The region's existing sports team, the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks, continue to fight major financial losses. The City of San Jose, meanwhile, remains in limbo over the potential move of baseball's Oakland A's, leaving an entirely new downtown development plan on the shelf. Santa Clara will finally see what the San Francisco 49ers' new $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium has in store when it opens next summer.
4. Gridlock
A lack of public funding for transportation infrastructure is also hobbling visions for better public transit in Silicon Valley. Money is still being scraped together to fund a multibillion extension of BART to downtown San Jose. Highway traffic, meanwhile, has already exceeded dot-com boom levels in some areas.
The existing VTA light rail system is still used by less than 1 percent of county residents, but the group is planning a new bus rapid transit system. While high-speed rail remains fraught with legal controversy, look for news about the electrification of Caltrain, which runs up and down the Peninsula, in the year ahead.
5. Inequality
Directly tied to affordable housing and lacking public transit is the broader issue of economic inequality in Silicon Valley. The minimum wage has increased, but the question is whether wage growth can match inflation in cost of living.
In recent months, tension has boiled over in small protest, with the busses that ferry technology workers in and out of San Francisco as targets. Long term, continued polarization in the region could go several ways. It may lead companies to reconsider their growth plans here, and companies could find it more difficult to fill support jobs in fields like construction, energy and food service.
6. Red tape
Silicon Valley finally found a home for its long-sought regional patent office in 2013, despite a delay stemming from the federal budget sequester. But top policy priorities — like immigration reform on the federal level and CEQA reform at the state level — remain stalled.
The dissolution of local redevelopment agencies is an animal all its own for local cities, many of which are fighting the state over millions in disputed assets. For businesses, the uncertainty at all levels makes long-term planning a dicier proposition.

In an effort to help, Gus's neighbor, private investigator Kinsey Millhone, runs a check on an applicant for the job, Solana Rojas.

Some help on painting contractor quote please
We're in the middle of a pretty major renovation, and my GC's paint contractor just gave the quote for the work. He has asked me to review it and discuss it directly with the painter.
Before I do that, I'd like some insight about standard practices with paint contractors. I've always done my own painting but because of the scope of this project and the cathedral ceilings, it's beyond my capabilities.
Here's the bones of the quote and some questions I have:
1. Two coats of SW Pro Mar 200 to drywall -- Any thoughts on this paint? I typically use Benjamin Moore paints, but if a painter is happier working with SW, I'm OK with it as long as it's quality stuff. Because of the height of this room it will hopefully be decades before we're faced with painting again.
2. Two coats SW Pro Classic oil satin to all doors and trim -- I'm not a fan of oil paint for various reasons and really don't want my trim done in oil paint. Is this a make-or-break thing with paint contractors? I know some have strong opinions about oil paint on trim (personally, I've done a lot of trim in my house with high quality waterborne paints including FPE and BM Aura and I've been more than happy with it).
There is a two-year warranty on labor and material and they remove all the light switches, etc., and clean up.
Is there anything else I need to be asking when talking with him about the quote?
Your views on it are very much appreciated.
Using oil paint on the trim should really not be a deal breaker, but I suppose for some contractors it still is. What happens is these guys are resistant to change and so they never learn what new technology is available and how far it has come because they are not exploring acrylic paints. Hopefully, the contractor has experience applying both and will not have an issue with it. Aura and FPE are more expensive though than Pro Classic Oil so it may cost more for materials. ProMar200 is okay for walls if it is flat paint...it would be about the same quality as Regal Flat.
Thanks for the reply. He said he could do a waterborne paint for the trim but he "highly recommends against it because it's just not as durable as oil."
To me, this is red flag. As you suggested (and as I've read here before) this is a painter who has not kept up with current technologies. It doesn't mean he's not a good painter, but to me it is your job to keep current with what is happening in your field whether you're a painter, IT person or bartender.
The bigger issue with his quote turns out to be that he didn't even provide a quote for the whole project. I thought the quote was high (although I've never hired a painter so maybe I was underestimating the cost for the work) and then I found out it only included two bedrooms and a bathroom ($3,700 for less than 500 sq. feet!) When he found out that the bedroom ceilings will be wood, he said that would add considerably to the cost. The major part of the painting is the living room, which has a cathedral ceiling to contend with and wasn't even included in the quote (in his defense, I think there was a miscommunication with the GC about what the scope of the project would be).
Anyway I have several other painters coming out to bid on the project and it will be interesting to see where they line up on the project, as I suspect this first painter was WAY off base in his pricing.
I also think that we're getting quoted a premium price right now because most painters are booked trying to finish up exterior jobs before winter.

My husband paid [$] for this pen at the Frankfurt airport and was told it was silver (he thought he was getting a great deal) His eye sight isn't the best and he didn't see how badly scratched the pen was - they didn't even give him a case for it as a birthday gift! The ink is NOT smooth flowing and has conked out on me on a few occasions; the barrel is not ergonomic for lengthy use. It's a little too fat and heavy for a smaller women's hand.The only positive is the pretty blue bands ... which of course scratch off readily and pre-purchase. Don't waste your money ... even for [$] US!

Comments about Nantucket Pen by FranklinCovey - Polished Chrome:
I use this pen to write in my Franklin Covey planner and to sign documents. I like it a great deal, other than the fact that it is slippery and difficult to use when writing on small areas like checks.

I love this pen. It is very classy yet also writes really well. Great purchase for the price.

See all my reviews
This pen fits in my wallet check holder perfectly. The smooth flowing ink, makes it ideal for this purpose. Nothing worse than to begin to write a check at the checkout counter and the ink blobs and you have to borrow a pen from the clerk. Also, very comfortable to use, beside being reliable. Love the quirky design.
Not just another pretty pen
from Jones, LA
This pen is kept in my wallet with checkbook and used to write checks predominately. It writes smoothly and neatly, is attractive and has a comfortable grip.Plus, I like its quirky striped design.
Fun to Write With
By Joann
from Morenci, AZ
I really like this pen. I like retractables to begin with, and this one is excellent. It does write a little rough initially, but then it smoothes out and writes like a dresm. Couple that with the fact that not everyone carries a striped pen, and that just makes it fun!
Nice Pen but Poor Quality

Comments about Nantucket Pen by FranklinCovey - Black Lacquer:
I like the pen. But after 1 week of sliding in and out of my planner the clip broke off. My planner is old and the pen hoder is very loose, no way to secure the pen.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
great pen
By Mel

Great pen. Distinctive, so I can find it among other pens. Writes really well. attractive and a pleasure to use. Only complaint is that the clip doesn't slide easily into my planner pen loops.

did not like shine or color in rug. It was also very thin.Read More
It was shipped promptly , but that was the only positve thing. Wrong color. Quality was cheap. color was a grey and tan.Read More
Nice rug, color on pic is misleading.
This is a nice rug. I still like it even though the color was off. I was really wanting it to look exactly like the picture, which looks teal, blue and a little green. The actual rug is straight light blue and beige. I also did not like that it was not returnable. Still a nice rug though, just a rug I am stuck with. Would have given it 5 stars if I could have returned it!Read More

Help! What's going on here?
I've been thrilled with my cucumbers (picklebush and burpless hybrid) and they've been fruiting like crazy. All of a sudden, the last couple of days, the leaves have been turning yellow and the vines getting all mushy. Most of the cukes I've gotten the last couple of days have been horribly deformed too. I've tried leaving the ugly cukes but they don't do anything. I've tried snipping off the yellow leaves and I've tried leaving them alone (they go completely brown and fall off). Any ideas?
background: 3 picklebush and 2 burpless in an 18-gal tub with MG potting mix and Black Kow. North-central GA where it's hot and humid all the time. In the beginning I was spraying with MG every 5-7 days but when my pumpkins got burned and everyone here told me I was over-fertilizing, I cut back to every 2 weeks or so and I'm careful to avoid spraying the plants directly and "rinse" a bit after. There are a TON of bugs on these. Some I've been able to identify (ants, aphids, "soldier" bugs, ladybugs), some I haven't.
This is how the leaves sometimes look late in the afternoon when it's approaching 100 and I haven't watered enough but they're not dry now. It rained for a while last night and was cool and overcast this morning. Still, I thought maybe they were thirsty so I watered some about lunchtime but after 2 hours they haven't perked up yet. As of yesterday, they were firmly attached to the wire teepee and reaching up over the top. Today, they've drooped to the point that they've pulled away from it altogether.
Closer look at the yellowing leaves at the bottom. I know I need to move the container and cut the grass but the same thing is happening all the way up the plant and in another pot that's sitting on short grass so I don't *think* that's got anything to do with it.
My cantaloupe is a few feet away...same setup...18-gal tub with MG potting mix and Black Kow. This plant just set about 9 fruits in the last few days so it can't be doing too bad but all of a sudden, it's turning yellow too. The vines going to the yellow leaves are completely squishy and limp. There are some new leaves coming in near the "crown" or whatever you call where the plant comes out of the ground and they look good...for now.
Don't know what your problem is. But, I had similar problems with my tomatoes this year, and cucumbers in past years, as a result of bugs suddenly becoming a major problem. I was stunned at how quickly and thoroughly aphids could devastate a plant. I have seen a similar reaction to cucumber and squash bugs. The darn things spread disease as well as eating the plants. You may need to kill them to have a chance of solving the problems. Neem oil, spinosad and insecticidal soap (Safer is one brand) are fairly safe choices.
Thanks...I was reading last night about sap-sucking bugs leading to deformed fruits and some disease they spread that can KO a whole plant in 24-48 hours. I had posted pics a couple of weeks ago of something on the leaves and the consensus was aphids. I had taken to spraying a jet of water on the undersides of the leaves to knock the aphids off and then ladybugs showed up and I thought we were golden. Funny thing is, there are two different types of cukes in that bucket. The aphids seem to prefer the picklebush leaves for some reason, but it's one of the burpless that just pooped out all of a sudden.
The above pics were taken about noon today and this is the same plant at 8pm. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, I had just gotten home and was thoroughly shocked and wanted to get the pic before it got dark.
I had my hands full with the kids tonight but I'll remove that vine first thing in the morning and see how the rest look. If it's a disease, will it spread through the roots of the other plants sharing that pot? I'm so clueless! I've noticed that on the cantaloupe, the worst of it seems to be confined to a couple of vines...they're just kind of tangled up. I wonder if I should snip off those vines so the plant doesn't waste energy trying to "heal" them and maybe give the rest a fighting chance. Just don't want to make matters worse by injuring it.
Since this is pretty much exactly what happened to my pumpkins a few weeks ago, I'm wondering now if the fertilizer really was the problem. The pumpkin leaves did look more burned than these but they went from gorgeous to dead in one day. Come to think of it, I just posted the other day about how well the cantaloupes were doing and I shared my first watermelon and a batch of peppers with family this weekend. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I brag about how well my unconventional garden is doing, Mother Nature knocks me down a notch or two. One of these days I'll learn to keep it to myself and gloat when the season is OVER. :)
I am so sorry to see this happen to you. It can be devastating after all the work you put into it and looking forward to the bounty. I hope you figure this out.
I have seen green horned caterpillars do this damage and underground bugs eat the roots! I hope the rest of your plants are exempt from this sort of problem.
Good luck
Thanks everybody. I got out there this morning and removed the dead cucumber vine and went ahead and snipped the worst of the leaves and smaller vines so that hopefully the plant can put its energy into growing some healthy foliage. I guess we'll see. I did notice that where I had originally tied this vine to the wire teepee, it had gotten very woody and swollen around the tie. I did it loosely at the time, but apparently not loosely enough since the vine has just about tripled in diameter. So maybe that was choking it and the fact that it was already stressed made it an easier target for whatever. We'll see. Clearing out the dead and yucky leaves did open things up a lot more and the bees went nuts. Worst case maybe I'll get an explosion of cukes before the rest croak!
I did the same with the cantaloupe...tried to prune the yucky stuff but make sure to leave enough leaves for the plant to get what it needs from photosynthesis. I noticed a lot of stink bugs or soldier bugs or something on the cantaloupe this morning which I haven't seen there before (they've been on the cukes, but not the cantaloupe). They're kind of flat with pentagon-shaped backs. I did a little reading but I'm having a hard time figuring out whether they're good or bad. They seem to be listed as pests but then it looks like they feed on all the other pests so I'm not really sure. Is there anything that will REPEL the bugs or continuously kill them? I don't want to mess with the good ones like bees but this plant has almost a dozen fruit right now so I don't think pollination is going to be a big concern for the rest of the season. All the soap spray stuff I've seen it seems like you have to spray it directly on the bug which doesn't seem very efficient. For every one you see, there are 10 more that you don't so killing one on contact doesn't seem like it would make any difference at all.
Also, I'm thoroughly confused about fertilization now. I know container plants need more feeding that plants in the ground and since I have to water (at least) once a day in this heat, I would imagine the soil is stripped pretty fast.
Here's a pic of the cantaloupe from a few weeks ago when I was spraying with MG frequently. Someone in the garden center at one of the big box stores (I know, I know, hardly "expert" advice) told me that she loves the MG sprayer and it's the best way to feed the plants because they can soak the nutrients in through the leaves and everything. So while I did generally focus on the soil in the bucket, I would also spray some over the whole plant. Dumb newbie. But look how great it looked:
In this next pic, I had just moved the plant and one of the vines was kind of twisted funny...it was not yellowing at all then.
Then my pumpkins up and croaked and everyone here said I was over-fertilizing and burned them so I started being really careful. I've cut back to only using the MG every couple of weeks and trying to make sure it doesn't touch anything (no easy task) and look at the difference:
The concept of fertilizer burn makes sense to me and I have noticed that there's one particular watermelon leaf that has spots of "burn" on it. I noticed the other day that where I stand when I'm watering those, the blue stuff will drip from the sprayer and land on that leaf. The burn is clearly in the shape of the droplets so I believe you about that. I'm just really confused about why what I was doing in the beginning worked great and then suddenly starting burning. The only thing I can think of is that when you buy the sprayer, I think it's about half to 3/4 full with the crystals and the water dillutes that. When you use the refill bag, it completely fills the reservoir. I think when all this went down with the pumpkins was right around the time I refilled the sprayer. So should I be only putting half a bag of the crystals in there at a time so it's more dilluted? I'll double check the instructions but I was almost certain it said to use the whole bag. Is there a better/easier/safer way to fertilize besides using the sprayer?
Since I snipped off everything that didn't look healthy, the cukes seem to be doing a bit better. At least the plants do. I haven't been getting as many ripe cukes (1-2/day compared to the 10/day I had been getting for a while) and some of them still look weird but hopefully with some TLC, they'll spring back.
The cantaloupe doesn't look any worse which I guess is a good thing but it doesn't really look any better either. The leaves out toward the ends of the vines are nice and thick but closer in, it's pretty bare. There are some new leaves sprouting but very slowly...nothing like it was a couple of weeks ago. The fruits are still growing like mad so I guess that's more important than the leaves at this point. Just watching and hoping...
btbarbara, you mentioned that the vines had outgrown the ties. If the wilting occured above the constriction then that may have been the cause.
Good advice I got; learn as much as you can from plants or parts you are going to discard. In this case, cut the stems in a long slanting fashion and watch for the color of sap. I recall that black sap indicates a bacterial wilt which is not worth the remedy. Splitting the stem longitudinally through the growing point can reveal the presence of insects and disease mainly through boring and tunneling in the former and abnormal color and texture in the latter. Sniff to determine the odor of rot. Use separate tools for post mortems or sterilize tools after.
I believe that some of your plants suffered from being too tightly bound and that the remaining material will grow in.
Thanks for the tip! I wish I had paid a little more attention to the dead vine but I didn't even know what to look for at the time. Live and learn. The cukes are doing better. Lots of the "fruit" (is the edible part of a veggie "fruit"?) are still looking funky...they're short, very pointy on the blossom end and curved (the picklebush). The burpless are still long and straight but they're not really filling out the way they were and they have a lot more bad spots (bugs sucking on them?) but it is what it is. I'm kind of irritated that I haven't had time to do any pickles for the last week...I keep sticking them in the fridge and saying I'll do them tomorrow. I realized today that I've got about 40 cukes in there and some of them are pretty mushy so I'll probably wind up tossing them. :( Got to get on the ball and get some done today. The cantaloupe's hanging in there but just doesn't look happy at all. I'm scared to fertilize and scared to leave it alone. I wonder if the roots on it are outgrowing the container. It's in an 18-gal tub but you can see roots right in the top layer of soil. I think if I do melons next year, I'll try to do them in the ground somehow. I've proven to myself and the naysayers that they can be done in containers but I think they'll be much easier in the ground.
On a happier note, I picked another 20 lb watermelon this morning. I'm going to cut it just before time for the kids to get home from school. The tendril closest to the melon turned completely brown and it sounds hollow and feels heavy and the color is kind of fading and the belly is yellow so hopefully this one is really ripe. I'm going to cut it right before the kids get home from school so if it's good, it will be a nice treat and if not, I'll have time to hide it before they get home and get mad at me again! :)
As for your fertilizer questions, you could always get one of those one-time, cheap fertilizer testers to get an idea of how fertile the soil is in the pots. Heck, since you're relatively new to gardening (you say), then buy several tests and keep testing over the season to see how the soil reacts to your actions.
