Mara's Commentary
What a long and strange journey this has been. I don�t even know where to start. When we moved into the pledge house I think we all knew there would be issues between pledges living in the house and those who weren�t. What I didn�t expect was the resentment from so many of the sisters. I mean after all, they signed us up for this didn�t they? I had no idea how much negativity was actually present from day one, until I watched the show. I was blown away. Seeing the sister�s initial reaction to Candace, Amanda and Jordan cleared up so many things for me.
The pledge process was interesting, for sure. During that time, I experienced such a wide range of emotions--mostly, I felt as though I was exhausted all the time. Although it's not so clear on the show, I was also coaching gymnastics, working as a peer advisor, helping to coordinate the peer counseling program on campus, taking a full course load, and pledging--not to mention having cameras in my face all the time. Just a side thought: Think about how you look when you wake up in the morning, then think about having that captured on film with the prospects of all of America seeing that�not so pleasant. Anyway, I think it is safe to say that the thing I felt most of all during pledging was tiredness.
Pledging definitely had its fun times: Big sis revealing, retreat, exchanges, rush events, and of course VEGAS! But it also had its hard times: �concerns,� moving rocks, being yelled at for misbehaving, pledge quizzes, challenges, and of course, COLLAGES! Just kidding, but you get the idea. There were times when I was happier than I have ever been, there were times when I was disappointed, disgusted, irritated, and then there were times when I was so frustrated I wanted to scream.
In the beginning, there were doubts about a lot of things, but my intentions were not one of those things. But then I made two fatal mistakes: I became friends with my pledge sisters and I left formal. The minute I began to hang around Amanda, Candace and Jordan the questioning began. People began to say, �Mara is Jordan�s follower,� or �those girls in the pledge house are out of control� and so on and so forth. Most of the people making these claims never hung out with us enough to know any of these things, they were just assumptions and speculation for the most part. Yeah, we probably party too much, but no more than the other sisters, and had they been invited to come with us, I doubt they would have been so �concerned.� So finally, those issues calmed down. But then, Jordan and I left formal. I am tired of saying all the reasons behind our leaving this cherished event. The bottom line: I didn�t like the hotel, it wasn�t safe, I asked Jordan to leave with me, we left. (For those of you who asked, it was in the Tenderloin district in San Fran--ask a native San Franciscan about the area). And as for the dance itself, I was bored, my date was bored, we were in San Francisco surrounded by things to do, so we left. Whether that was right or wrong is a matter of perspective and opinion. However, I have no regrets, and could I go back in time, knowing what I know now, I would still leave. I guess that is just me. Call it brattiness, snobbishness, selfishness, independence, individuality, whatever! Call it what you will, it was my choice and I embrace it as such. When all is said and done, is anyone really going to care how long anybody stayed at the Sigma formal? No, I would certainly hope not.
Oh, one more thing people ask me all the time...that moment with Amanda and the white t-shirt guy. Well, white t-shirt man was never my boyfriend. And no, I will not clarify the bleep from the message Jessica relayed. If you really want to know, you can e-mail me and ask. But I should have just bit my drunk tongue and kept my mouth shut about the whole thing. That whole conflict could�ve been avoided. I still think the way the situation was handled from that point on was cruel and unfair, and I feel really bad for putting Jessica in that position. The way Amanda talked to Jessica was wrong, and I don�t appreciate the change in her tone when she confronted me--all apologetic and sympathetic versus mean and disrespectful. In fact, I didn�t even know she was mad at me until I watched the show. I was told that she was only mad at Jessica for relaying the message, and when she talked to me about it, she was just apologetic. I was shocked to see her and Candace talking about me doing that on purpose, and to see her being that mean to Jessica. Watching that again made me want to hurl! Adding to that, the way that Jessica was treated in the house in the beginning was really unfair. Not that I wasn�t guilty of it also, I was. But looking back, it was really mean! Random again, I know. But, Amanda and I had issues outside of that one incident and that was really the culmination of the problems. I got really mad at her for starting a fight on my birthday. And it did create a division within the house, more so than already existed. We had our problems, but in the end we all pulled together...at least somewhat.
To be continued...
Come back after the Season Finale to read the rest of Mara's commentary.

Posts filed under 'Seed Bank news'
Seeds For Distribution Available!
Finally, after what seems like about a million years, the seeds for distribution are finally available. You can mosey on over here and take a look. There are 25 varieties of tomatoes and 3 varieties of beans currently up for offer. Some are in very low quantities, so if you see something you like, snag it up quick because they won't be available for another 7-10 years.
I've also been updating the database with a few photos, so you can see all the tomato and beans are looking so far this year. Everything in the garden was pushed back about three weeks due to some wacky weather, but with the heat, and some rain now offsetting that heat a bit, everything is finally growing fast and furious. I hope to be updating with fruit photos before July is out.
2015 Kicks Off
This is when most of the seed bank is done. Or at least, that's what it feels like. Once the plants go in the ground (or pots) they mostly seem to take care of themselves, except for watering and bagging blossoms. I'm outside amongst the plants, picking and preening and generally fussing, but it hardly feels like work.
When I say work, I mean the planning, and I guess what makes it more work-like is that I spend hours sitting in front of the computer, reconciling what's in the bank with what my database says, updating the database so I can track where everything is, and then of course the pouring over what's in the bank (via the database) deciding what needs to get grown, and figuring out which seeds are going to which growers. When I say work, it doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, because I thoroughly do. Every gardener knows that planning your garden is a great way to get over the doldrums of winter.
And this winter has been a tricky one. We've, overall, had a warmer than normal winter, which is great because it's not -20C constantly, but also awful because it makes it feel like spring is that much closer when you know it actually isn't.
But, it has made me be really early this year with getting the 2015 growing season in order, and that is a feat unto itself, because before February I have the list of what's getting grown this year, which growers are getting what seeds, and I've even planned out the seed starting schedule to the day of when everything needs to get sown.
The past couple of years have really been about getting all that super old seed grown out and in good quantity, and I can now say, at the end of 2015 everything will be 100% caught up if all goes according to plan, which of course means lots more room and time for acquiring new varieties. That is exciting.
Without further ado, here's the list of what's getting grown out for 2015 and here's the growers participating this year.
I've already been busy acquiring seeds for the bank as well, and that will be posted in a future update.
I've also been fiddling with the wiki quite a bit, and now you can view which varieties have been grown in which year.
The seed bank is still running it's annual seed sale to help fund the endeavours of this year, which includes (but isn't limited to!), postal costs, website costs, and most importantly, acquiring new varieties. Please consider purchasing some seed from the etsy shop, it goes a lot way to helping keeping the bank going for another year.
I do accept donations as well. You can read about donating here.
And, of course, I am always accepting donations of varieties into the bank that we do not currently have. You can read about donating your seeds here.
Stay tuned for the list of new acquisitions coming up in a future post!
Annual Seed Bank Fundraiser
As promised, the seeds for sale are currently up, and available through the etsy shop! I'm excited this year to be selling some really awesome varieties.
But I thought your seeds were free??
They are, and they will be. But every year I run a little drive in order to help fund the coming year. The Populuxe Seed Bank is run entirely out of pocket, and in order to help mitigate some costs, each year I sell seeds first. Some quantities I have are quite limited, and if they sell out through the Etsy shop first, they will be gone until they're grown out again (which is a 7-10 year cycle). So if you see something you really need, I do suggest you snap it up first on Etsy! Plus you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling from helping a good project (and my gratitude!).
Thanks for your ongoing support, as always!
New Seeds Coming Soon
I've had a few inquiring emails asking if seeds are available yet. Firstly, thanks to everybody who's showed interest, and secondly, the answer is imminently. I'm just finishing up the last of the germination tests, and then seeds will be available.
If you're a member of the newsletter, you will get first notification that seeds are ready to go (to join, enter your email in the box on the upper left hand corner).
I will be doing a seed-drive this year before offering the seeds for shipping only, and that is simply to help out with on-going expenses (website, shipping, packing supplies, etc.) that the bank incurs that is paid out of pocket.
Thanks again for all your interest – stay tuned!
State of the Garden – August
It sure feels like autumn's coming up, and I've even spotted some leaves starting to change. I'm not overly thrilled about that, but I am sure thrilled with the tomatoes and how amazingly well they've been doing this year. I've had the best tomato harvests and plants I've ever grown, and the weather has been perfect for them. It's been a banner year, and I'll be sad to see it go, but at the same time it makes me really excited for next year.
Yesterday I harvested about 9kg. It's probably my biggest haul in one day, but as of right now (including yesterday) I've harvested 20.65 kg. And that's not even half of what's on the vines – I won't be surprised if I get 100lbs easy.
I'm going to have so many seeds to share this year, I'm ecstatic! I've already started the seed saving, which has had to be moved to the garage, because I don't have enough room in the house for all the cups anymore.
I've also been slowly updating the database – mostly with photos right now, but specific growth information is slowly going up as well.
What a great year, I'm over the moon.
This year I got two sports that don't show the characteristics of what they're supposed to be:
Kimberley Sport – small rugose leaf (rather than potato), grows only about 1ft so it's a dwarf. Determinate. Shiny skin with lobed fruit, no characteristics of either Tiny Tim or Siberian (Kimberley's parent plants).
Mary's Austrian Sport – large 5ft indeterminate plant, produces grape shaped pink jewel toned fruit. Nice flavour, nothing like the roma-type this is supposed to be. I contacted the seed seller who received the seeds from the family, and she's never grown a tomato like it (so it's not cross contamination), and she confirmed it was nothing like what Mary's Austrian is. So this one is officially a natural cross that I'll be regrowing and stabilizing because it's wonderful.
I've also got some freak tomatoes this year, which is always fun:
The first photo is Tomato 'Sibirskiy Velikan Rozovyi' with a hole that's grown into it (doughnut tomato!), the second is some dirty 'Stupice' (because I'm immature and it made me giggle).
And here's some more tomato eye candy for you, these varieties (and many others) will all be offered in varying quantities.
Top L-R: 'Fargo Yellow Pear', 'Kootenai', 'Chocolate Stripes', 'Perestroika'
Bottom L-R: 'Purple Prince', 'Green Zebra', 'Lancia', 'Tangerine'

Comments about Mens R-Gear Storm Ahead Outerwear Jackets:
This jacket is nice and toasty on the inside and keeps out the cold during my winter training runs. I wouldn't imagine wearing this while it's anything more than a drizzle outside because there's no hood but it's great at blocking the wind and keeping me warm.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Multiple teams are interested in Japanse reliever Kyuji Fujikawa. Since Fujikawa is a free agent he would not be subject to the posting system which requires a MLB team to pay a Japanese team a fee to acquire a player. The 32-year-old met with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs last week. He is expected to visit both Los Angeles teams. Fukijawa was 2-2 with 24 saves and a 1.32 ERA in 47 2/3 innings this season with Hanshin of the Japan Central League. Fujikawa is considered a power pitcher with a mid-90s mph fastball. He has averaged 11.9 strikeouts per nine innings in his career. In 12 seasons, 32-year-old Fujikawa has collected 220 saves and has a 1.77 ERA. 220 saves ranks him 5th in all time Japanese Career Saves leader.
