The sites at Buttonwood Beach are sold on a long-term 99-year renewable lease basis (we do not offer any type of "transient" camping). Each site has underground sewer, water, electric, telephone and cable hook ups. Yearly fees are much less than you would pay for a summer's seasonal rental at most campgrounds. Our fees last year were just over $2,200. They are based on a sharing of the expenses by all of the members in the park (which is why we use the phrase "condo camping"). At any given time, any number of our properties are available for resale for any of a variety of reasons. Because Buttonwood Beach has been fully leased for many years, resale properties represent your only way to be a part of our community. The only other expenses you would have, aside from the original purchase price of the lease and trailer, would be for propane, insurance on your trailer, and electricity for your site. All trailers are subject to 6% Maryland Sales Tax.

Geeze-- We don't need these kind of people walking around Hoschton.
What type of people? Creative, everyday people that would bring massive amounts of revenue to the town? Because that would be just terrible?!?
I think this is a wonderful idea! I just wish something similar could happen in Winder.

Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry) | 1:3200 |
Flow Cytometry | 1:50 |
Specificity / Sensitivity
Histone H3 (D1H2) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Histone H3 protein, including isoforms H3.1, H3.2, and H3.3. This antibody also detects the Histone H3 variant CENP-A. This antibody does not cross-react with other core histones.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Hamster, Chicken, D. melanogaster, Xenopus, Zebrafish, BovineSource / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminus of the human histone H3 protein.
Product Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry and immunofluorescent analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Histone H3 (D1H2) XP® Rabbit mAb #4499.
Modulation of chromatin structure plays an important role in the regulation of transcription in eukaryotes. The nucleosome, made up of DNA wound around eight core histone proteins (two each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4), is the primary building block of chromatin (1). The amino-terminal tails of core histones undergo various post-translational modifications, including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination (2-5). These modifications occur in response to various stimuli and have a direct effect on the accessibility of chromatin to transcription factors and, therefore, gene expression (6). In most species, histone H2B is primarily acetylated at Lys5, 12, 15, and 20 (4,7). Histone H3 is primarily acetylated at Lys9, 14, 18, 23, 27, and 56. Acetylation of H3 at Lys9 appears to have a dominant role in histone deposition and chromatin assembly in some organisms (2,3). Phosphorylation at Ser10, Ser28, and Thr11 of histone H3 is tightly correlated with chromosome condensation during both mitosis and meiosis (8-10). Phosphorylation at Thr3 of histone H3 is highly conserved among many species and is catalyzed by the kinase haspin. Immunostaining with phospho-specific antibodies in mammalian cells reveals mitotic phosphorylation at Thr3 of H3 in prophase and its dephosphorylation during anaphase (11).

'I was touched by the trust the nation expressed in me'
Sachin Tendulkar feels that he can't thank his countrymen enough for the amount of faith they have showed in his integrity during his 21 illustrious years in international cricket.
In the recently released book Sach written by noted scribe Gautam Bhattacharya, one gets to know the rare emotional side of the maestro as he spoke on a host of issues including how the entire country supported him during the ball-tampering episode in 2001 tour of South Africa.
He also spoke about how he dealt with the ugly match-fixing episode, and the tragic 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai.
Referring to episode of ball-tampering when match-referee Mike Denness handed him a one match ban on allegations of trying to lift the seam during a Test match at Port Elizabeth, Sachin has been quoted as saying, "But despite the incident, I was so happy for the trust and faith that the entire country expressed in me.
"At times, it has been written that a nation walked with me every time I went out to bat. Here there was no bat. Yet they showed such faith in my integrity that I was touched. Till date I can't forget that."
Image: Sachin Tendulkar
'At no stage did I pick the seam'
Tendulkar, who has been a picture of dignity during his long international career did admit being "shattered" with allegations levelled by Denness.
"You know, I was completely shocked and shattered when he said the charge against me was for ball tampering. I tried telling him what the truth was. That I was just cleaning the grass on the ball. I was not picking the seam. At no stage did I do that.
"If someone is trying to remove grass, how can you levy ball-tampering charges against him? But the match referee would hear none of it. Since then, whenever I clean the ball, I keep the umpires posted."
When the murky episode of match-fixing rocked the nation, Tendulkar was like a picture of resilience.
When asked about his feelings during the entire fixing-saga, the holder of a world record 97 international centuries, said, "I was just doing what every Indian was supposed to do. I was just doing my duty and did not think it was any different from what I had done in the past. I was just following the same routine....
"Around that time, I received a certificate from Income Tax department for paying my taxes honestly. That gives me a lot of satisfaction. I was just hoping that my father had been alive to see it," said the man who still looks heavenwards and utters a silent prayer in the memory of his father Ramesh Tendulkar, everytime he completes a ton.

'I couldn't come to terms with 26/11'
More |
Talking about the tragic 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai, Tendulkar also spoke about the pain he went through as innocent Indians lost their lives.
"We were playing at Cuttack (against England). At night we came to know about the attack. Of course, first you call home and enquire about the safety of your near and dear ones.
"Then keep glued to TV to try and find out what exactly is going on. What was happening to the nation was difficult to digest.
"I felt very sad and couldn't come to terms with it. I was almost numb and didn't know what had hit me. It took a while to get myself back on track. That must surely rank as one of the most disappointing days of my life," he said.

This is my Mom's cabin.
This is the cabin that my family had when my kids were growing up. It is only a stone's throw from her current place.
That is the backside there. It was on two lots, so it was a great place for the whole group of us to go. The cabin was small, but so cozy. We were talking about the many times we would take a Suburban load of teenagers up there and they would ski all day, and I would cook dinner, and they ate and ate and ate!!! We had some great times at that cabin. My parents bought it, and then did a lot of upgrades to it. So many fun memories in that cabin!
Our oldest daughter and her family went with us this weekend. It was the first time for Hannah and Claire to really play in the snow. They loved it!
They built their first snowman with their Daddy.
When we were in town yesterday, Gennifer and Jake found a great deal on some snow bibs for the girls. They each got pink bibs, and came right home to put them on and try them out. They are the cutest snow bunnies I have ever seen, for sure!!!
We had some fun inside the cabin too. Hannah brought her new Zingo game, and got a kick out of beating Geeps every time!!!
Hannah brought her new make up kit that she bought with birthday money. Geeps was happy to help her apply some lip gloss.
Saturday night, we had offered to stay at the cabin with the girls so that Gennifer and Jake could go out to eat at Sweet Basil. We went out and got a pizza from Village Pizza and had a nice evening watching a movie with the girls. Geeps popped us some popcorn too!!
Sunday morning we had a big breakfast and a roaring fire! It was 9 degrees!!!
I had the girls set the table and that kept them busy while the bacon cooked and we waited with bites of a cinnamon roll.
After breakfast we bundled up and headed to the Alpine Slide. Jake took turns taking each of the girls down the slides on tubes.
It has been so cold, that in addition to the natural snow fall, they have been blowing it onto the slopes for a very good base. Hannah was raring to go, and loved sliding down the slopes with her Dad. But Claire was not too sure if she wanted to try it. First she had to watch for a while. While watching, I captured this darling picture of her and Geeps.
I am going to have to frame this one for sure!!!
After some watching, Clairey decided she would give it a go too.
I didn't get any good shots of them coming down, but this one, Jake was waving, so you can pick them out.
They have such pretties inside! They do cooking demos on the weekends, and have classes, as well as a delicious coffee, lunch and dessert bar. We have gotten several things there, and are always happy with them.
We strolled up and down the Village streets, popping in and out of shops and trying a few things on.
What do you think? A good look for her? Here is a better photo of Gennifer.
We found a new shop downtown that looks like it will be a fun place for the kids. It is an ice skating rink. Made with a synthetic floor, which feels like ice, but isn't. There were two kids in there playing ice hockey, and we went in to watch for a while. I think the girls wanted to play then and there, but we promised we would come back with Noah and some friends, and rent it out for a couple of hours for them. Their prices are fantastic!!!
We popped into all of our favorite shops. Hardly buying a thing! Gennifer and Jake did find the girls their snow clothes in town. I saw lots of things I wanted, but refrained, buying only a birthday gift for a friend. I did kind of like this???!!!! What do you think?
We walked until we were hungry again. Ending up back in front of The Copper Q, where the tree lined street was stunning, and the shimmering leaves were falling everywhere like snow.
We went to our favorite place on the hill, Blanca & Pierre's. Filled our tummies, and then took a walk around Boulder Bay Park before heading back to the cabin.
Gennifer and Jake and the girls packed up and headed on down the hill, and Greg and I did a few things and went on down shortly afterwards. Actually, just as the sun was setting. It was so beautiful!!! I came home with a horrible head cold, that seemed to hit me like a ton of bricks on the way home!!! Today I shall rest, since Noah has no school. We are declaring it a "Jammies Day" and staying in.
Thanks for coming along on our weekend up in The Bear!!!
XO Kris

Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac is out now, letting you run Windows games on your Mac without rebooting. Having had a love-hate relationship with Parallels, where I'd try gaming with it on occasion and inevitably get frustrated and just use Boot Camp, I figured it was time to have another look.
In this first part, we look at Parallels running on a Mac Pro, souped up with a GTX 570. We upgraded from Parallels 7, and used our Boot Camp Windows 7 install for all our testing. Installation was surprisingly painless (aside from an odd bug affecting Wacom tablets) and we were up and running almost immediately.
There are some new features that affect integration with OS 10.8, but we jumped right in to the important stuff– the video options.
Interestingly enough, there's a setting for "DirectX10 (experimental), so that was the one we opted for. Parallels are boasting that you'll see a 30% improvement in 3D graphics over Parallels Desktop 7. But are they to be trusted? We fired it up and did some tests to find out.
Set up
First things first, for this battery of tests, we are using the following configuration:
- Mac Pro 2010 2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xeon (4 CPUs allocated to Parallels)
- 10 GB RAM (4 GB allocated to Parallels)
- NVidia GTX 570 (512 MB video RAM allocated to Parallels)
- DirectX 9 (Parallels 7), DirectX 10 (Parallels 8)
- Vertical synchronisation enabled
- Full-screen (1920×1080) in all cases
- Windows 7 (Boot Camp configuration)
- Parallels Desktop 7.0.15106
- Parallels Desktop 8.0.18100
- All games tested had settings optimised to run smoothly in Windows rather than Parallels.
We ran each test on Parallels version 7, Parallels version 8, and in Windows/Boot Camp (as a baseline). We recorded the video and frame rate simultaneously using FRAPS, whose presence may or may not have skewed some of the results.
3DMark06 Test
The ubiquitous DirectX 9 benchmarking utility was our first port of call. We ran all the tests in the suite, with anti-aliasing and filtering maxed out.
Platform | GT1 | GT2 | HDR1 | HDR2 | CPU1 | CPU2 | SM 2.0 score | HDR/SM 3.0 score | CPU score | 3DMark score |
Parallels Desktop 7 | 33.767 | 31.221 | 49.973 | 29.867 | 0.991 | 1.335 | 3899 | 3992 | 2875 | 9342 |
Parallels Desktop 8 | 40.884 | 36.156 | 71.149 | 51.094 | 1.110 | 1.604 | 4622 | 6112 | 3335 | 12294 |
Windows | 57.711 | 56.686 | 82.526 | 57.599 | 1.705 | 2.331 | 6864 | 7006 | 4984 | 16376 |
So, in the benchmark at least, there's a definite improvement over the previous version. Going by the 3DMark score alone, the 30% claim is justified. What's also interesting is that we're catching up on pure Windows here, which is itself only scoring a 25% improvement over Parallels.
But no-one trusts a standard benchmark, so we give you: Games We Actually Ran, with glorious DATA!
Space Marine Test
Space Marine is a pretty run-of-the-mill game in terms of graphics performance, it generally runs very smoothly. We carved up some Orks for a minute and then had a look at the results.
Parallels Desktop 7 | Parallels Desktop 8 | Windows | |
Min FPS | 3 | 1 | 47 |
Max FPS | 30 | 31 | 62 |
Average FPS | 18 | 18.033 | 59.467 |
Embarrassingly, the stats didn't get properly for PD7 run, hence on the first half are there. There was also severe frame drop in the PD8 version when a Steam notification popped up. Moving on…
Skyrim (Modded) Test
Skyrim has been criticised for its lacklustre graphics engine and textures. However when bolstered with some of the many mods available (as we've done in this case) it can look quite spectacular.
Parallels Desktop 7 | Parallels Desktop 8 | Windows | |
Min FPS | 0 | 0 | 10 |
Max FPS | 24 | 27 | 48 |
Average FPS | 16 | 15.367 | 29.967 |
So not a huge improvement over Parallels 7 here.
The Witcher 2 Test
The Witcher 2 is one of the most graphically intensive game ever created, so it seemed a natural fit for these tests.
Parallels Desktop 7 | Parallels Desktop 8 | Windows | |
Min FPS | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Max FPS | 1 | 21 | 62 |
Average FPS | 0.05 | 11.104 | 25.556 |
Well this was so unplayable on Parallels 7 that we gave up on it. With Parallels 8, it's still not very good, but at least you have a fighting chance of playing the game (especially if you tweak the settings). Also notable was that there were strange graphical issues with Parallels 7 that didn't exist with 8. I'm not sure what the cause of the frame drop was in the Windows version at the end.
Fallout: New Vegas (Modded) Test
As with Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas can be made to look spectacular with the liberal application of several mods.
Parallels Desktop 7 | Parallels Desktop 8 | Windows | |
Min FPS | 0 | 0 | 13 |
Max FPS | 28 | 30 | 65 |
Average FPS | 12.933 | 12.979 | 49.263 |
That's pretty much identical between the two versions. Please try to ignore the fact that I kept getting killed within a minute…
Saints Row: The Third Test
In both versions of Parallels, Volition's freeform, silly take on Grand Theft Auto crashed in DirectX 9 mode. It ran under Parallels 8 in DirectX 10 mode, but with severe graphical glitches. We gave up at that point.
Batman Arkham City Test
Parallels Desktop 7 | Parallels Desktop 8 | Windows | |
Min FPS | 3 | 6 | 0 |
Max FPS | 21 | 34 | 46 |
Average FPS | 15.067 | 19.167 | 22.53 |
Of all the tests, this was the one that demonstrated the 30% improvement in performance in a real game. Ignoring the end of the Windows result (it appears some background process kicked in), this game most closely resembled the results of the 3DMark benchmark.
Coming up in the next part, we do some tests on the MacBook Pro with Retina.

Good job!

Guys, compare with Fusion! And you will notice how great is PD8!
Ron Boulay says:
Should of also compared Bootcamp
Ron Boulay says:
Sorry I missed that. Then this is exactly was I was looking for. Great Job!!
I am planning to get a NEW 27″ IMAC [if they ever come out] and use Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop® 8 for Gamming.
I work with Photoshop, and Adobe Premier, After Effects and I play WoW on MAC and Star Wars Old Republic and other PC only games. I have a Synology DS212+ NAS for Data and Backup.
Going with:
27″ 3.4GHz quad-core Intel core I7 with 8MB L3 cache
8GB Ram
Upgrade to 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 from OWC or Crucial
3TB 7200rpm Fusion Drive Maybe
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX Graphic processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
AppleCare Protection Plan
Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer
As you see I was planning to get the 3TB 7200rpm Fusion Drive.
Choices of drive 768GB SSD, 1T or 3T Fusion HHD, 1T or 3T HDD
The problem is with Bootcamp you need to partition your drive. You don't need a whole new drive. (Note – 3TB drives can't currently be partitioned for Bootcamp.) and I rather use Bootcamp than Parallels. This why I was looking for information like what you provided. I am confused as to what Drive setup I should get? Do you have any Ideas on the matter?
There must be a number of Gamers that are in the same quandary.
Super Sugar (@SuperSugar) says:
Great article and awesome website. I just got a copy of Parallels 8 and Windows 8 (Release Preview) and I downloaded a couple first-person shooters. The frame-rate is so poor it makes the games unplayable. I tried to download drivers from Nvidia's website (Discrete graphics is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M). I feel like Parallels isnt seeing me discrete graphics… what do you think?
Christopher says:
More about Fusion Drives and Bootcamp here (basically Windows/Bootcamp doesn't benefit from the SSD)

so parallels 7 is better?

do i need to buy windows aswell to run it?

hitch question.
i know that my jeep is only rated at like 2000lbs for trailer weight, but, what bolts should use to install my new hitch. it is a Draw Tite 1-1/4 inch, 3500lb trailer weight, and 300 lb trailer weight.
what grade of bolts should i use to install this? it has 4 bolts to hold it up. thanks nate |
Can you email the manufacturer that question? They should know the minimum specs for that or it should be stated in the original paperwork.
I'm a little suprised the hitch didn't come with bolts. I would also think you could go to the dealership and pick up the bolts.
i bought the hitch used off of ebay for 25 bucks. so i have no paper work. and that is a good idea on calling the manufacture.
anyone else have any suggestions? |
Grade 8
^ x2. i use grade 8 on almost everything on my jeep. anything that is used to pull or tow you should always use grade 8. i use grade 8 bolts to: mount roll cage to jeep, bumpers, winch, rock sliders, seats, seat belts, etc.

What claim? That she said that? Easily verifiable through any number of outlets.
If you want to know her motivations, it would be far easier for you or your sidekick to get into her head. You're much closer to her mental functioning that anyone else on this list.
You guys are endless entertainment. Lets hear it now, how the Constitution is all Bible-based and supports a church-state. I know its coming next. Give me 3:30 to pop some popcorn first.

oh yeah, i failed to see that. my apologies.
starting over makes so much more sense. so we just go out and conjure up 2 new candidates. 2 new candidates with new funding, new mudslinging, etc.... wow, that sounds so simple......
tell me - does this fantasy land you live in have chicks with 4 boobs???
Have you heard the latest? The "exact phrase" separation of church and state came from Hitler. So that makes Liberals Nazis.
The video is really entertaining. Watch it and see if you think anything was taken out of context.GOP candidate: Hitler invented separation of church and state
By Muriel Kane
Friday, September 17th, 2010 -- 9:52 pm
Christine O'Donnell isn't the only Delaware Tea Party candidate making waves.
The seat in the House of Representatives currently held by Republican Mike Castle -- who was defeated by O'Donnell in Tuesday's Senatorial primary -- is also up for grabs. The Republican primary for that office was won by Tea Partier Glen Urquhart, and it turns out that his political positions may be even more unique than O'Donnell's.
"Do you know, where does this phrase 'separation of church and state' come from?" Urquhart asked at a campaign event last April. "It was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. ... The exact phrase 'separation of Church and State' came out of Adolph Hitler's mouth, that's where it comes from. So the next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State ask them why they're Nazis."
"My jaw dropped when I heard it," rival candidate Kevin Wade told Delaware Online. "And he was emphatic about it -- it was not like a slip of the tongue. He got applause from half the crowd, and that disturbed me. I'd say half the room was stunned and the other half applauded."
According to Delaware Online, "Urquhart says the statement was taken out of context and that he did not explain his point very well. If he could do it over, he said, he would add more historical context and explain why he rejects Hitler's take on the relationship between government and the church."
Life must be really scary in that alternate reality.

Who said or has said that the constitution supports a church state. Clearly it doesn't but another thing it doesn't say is there is supposed to be a separation between church and state. What it clearly says (and since the founders were supposed to be some of the smartest people of their time in America I'm pretty sure that they were able to form sentences and says exactly what they meant) Is that shall be no state religion established. Hence its called the establishment clause. It's not called the separation clause. Don't you think if you the founders wanted complete separation they would've taken down the religious symbols throughout the land. Instead that didn't start happening until "Progressives" came around.
Jefferson didn't write one word of the Constitution. Nor did he pen any of the Federalist Papers. Nor did he ever cast one vote on ratification of the Constitution. He was a very influential president whose opinions about religion and the Constitution, written in a letter a decade and a half after the Constitution, became the de facto interpretation. I wouldn't exactly argue that his interpretation was shared by a majority of the men who envisioned, wrote and ratified the Constitution. I also know, that despite the Left's tittering and snickering, you will indeed find no specific mention of separation of church and state in the United States Constitution.
I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs.
After hearing what she said, and hearing people rush to her defense and spin this, all I can say is:

By Dr. Mercola
Think about the last time you strolled down the produce aisle of your neighborhood grocery store in the middle of winter. If your grocer is like most, the "fresh veggies" were completely bedraggled at that time of year, looking pale and wilted and completely uninspiring. The produce that looked better was probably grown in the southern hemisphere, thousands of miles away, with a price tag to match the giant ecological footprint needed to transport it to your store from some far-away grower—most likely in another country.
Nutrients deteriorate with time after a vegetable is harvested, so it's likely the nutrient profile of your imported produce pales in comparison to that grown and harvested locally. This nutritional deficit worsens during winter as the distance from farm to table grows.
As the cost of organic produce has skyrocketed (along with just about all consumables), many of you have taken the plunge into backyard gardening. In fact, between 2008 and 2009, there was a 19 percent increase in the number of home gardens. Why are so many of you starting your own gardens?
- You get higher quality produce in terms of nutritional quality and flavor, uncontaminated with toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and other harmful chemical agents.
- Your produce is always fresh—you pick food when it's actually ripe, and it's on your plate within minutes or hours, as opposed to weeks or months.
- You can save a great deal of money by growing your own veggies. For what you would pay for two weeks' worth of salad greens for a family of four, you could be able to plant your garden for the whole season.
- Gardening is good for you—it's one of the forms of exercise that many healthy elderly people can do until the very end of their lives. If you garden barefoot, you receive a bonus in the form of Earthing. By having your feet in contact with the bare soil, you pick up the flow of electrons from the Earth, which neutralize free radicals in your body, like a constant "infusion" of antioxidants.
- Gardening is good for the Earth because it shrinks our ecological footprint, reduces soil erosion, protects water quality, promotes biodiversity, and helps beautify your community. It also strengthens family ties by uniting families in a common goal and provides an opportunity for you to teach your children where food really comes from.
Most people have a "May-September romance" with their gardens—but what about turning that into a year-around committed relationship? Have you ever considered growing a WINTER vegetable garden?
A Winter Garden That Will Make Your Neighbors GREEN With Envy
Winter gardening is far easier than you might think. If you are tempted to hang up your garden gloves in September, you might want to reconsider. You could be harvesting spinach, beets, and carrots in February, while your neighbors are still battling their winter blues and longing for the whispers of spring.
Many vegetables grow and even THRIVE in cooler temperatures. Many concentrate their sugars in cooler weather, resulting in better flavor during the fall and winter months. Even in the northernmost areas of the U.S., a wide variety of vegetables can be grown, especially with the assistance of a few simple temperature-shielding strategies that I'll be talking about later, such as row covers and cold frames.
But in more Southerly regions, you don't even need those!
One of the greatest benefits of a winter garden is the savings to your grocery bill. Produce costs more during the winter, especially organic produce. Many winter vegetables ship poorly, so freshness is compromised. It makes even more sense to grow your own food in the winter than in the summer. But the benefits to a winter garden don't end there.
Consider this:
- There are fewer pests and fewer weeds to deal with in cooler months than during the summer.
- Mother Nature takes care of some of your garden chores between September and May—she does the watering. In some regions, you can skip watering altogether and let the winter rains do it for you.
- The cold winter ground is Nature's own refrigerator. You can "store" root vegetables in the ground and harvest them as you need them—for example, carrots and beets keep very well this way.
Gardeners Beware: Garden Chemicals Can Be Toxic
One of the greatest advantages of being a home gardener is controlling exactly what goes into your food and soil. There are now millions of organic products on the market, as well as numerous books and websites offering organic gardening advice. The organic gardening explosion testifies to a wonderful shift in people's attitudes about food.
The EPA considers 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of all fungicides and 30 percent of all insecticides carcinogenic. Pesticides may cause an extra 4 million cancer cases among Americans.
The problem is that pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides bioaccumulate. Once these toxins are dumped onto our plants and soil, they are very hard to get rid of. Each year tons upon tons of these poisons are sprayed on farms, which then run off through the soil into streams and rivers, ending up in lakes and underground aquifers, rivers, and oceans. The damage from this continual massive toxic runoff is very hard to undo.
Bioaccumulation also occurs in your own body, and these chemicals are neurotoxic. For example, pesticides have recently been linked to Parkinson's disease. They may also be responsible for the honeybee die-off. And synthetic fertilizers have had a host of unintended consequences to food and the environment, and to the sustainability of our food system. We now know that synthetic nitrogen from fertilizers results in weaker soil and weaker plants. They are also a source of air and water pollution because they volatize, leach and runoff. Organic fertilizers do not.
You can protect yourself and the Earth from damage by these toxic chemicals by gardening organically. But be aware that, just because a product is organic doesn't mean it's necessarily environmentally friendly—some organic pesticides have a higher environmental impact than conventional ones. Remember, not all weeds are bad! And some are not only edible but offer great nutritional benefits.
Things to Consider BEFORE You Start Moving Dirt
In your exuberance from reading this article, you may be tempted to dive right in. But there are some practical considerations. Taking the time to plan NOW will save you headaches later. A winter garden does not mean waiting until winter to plant a garden. Planning a winter garden begins in the spring, with the ultimate goal of harvesting in the winter. Timing will be perfect (October) for planting garlic from cloves. Winter gardening is basically about extending the growing season. Some plants are grown for fall and winter harvesting, whereas others are planted to "overwinter" for an early spring harvest.
Either way, timing your planting is important, and timing depends on the type of veg you're planting and your "hardiness zone." As an aside, these zones are now changing as a result of global climate patterns, which you can read more about here.
What and When to Plant
For your winter garden, your most important date to know is your "first frost" date. You'll want to plant your seeds early enough that the plants will be established before getting subjected to a light freeze. So your first step is to check your hardiness zone to see when your first frost is expected.
Most winter veggies are planted in mid to late summer so they are strong and ready for when the temperatures drop, and then ripe for harvest in winter or early spring. Timing this depends on how long each plant takes to reach maturity. Some vegetables, such as parsnips and Brussels sprouts, actually develop a better flavor if they are kissed by a light frost.
The following tables list the best vegetables for a winter garden and how long it takes each to mature, on average. Of course, there are certain varieties of each veggie that are more suitable for cooler temperatures, and the seed packet often gives you this information. If not, make use of the staff's expertise at your local nursery—they usually know what varieties perform best in your area and are usually eager to help.
90 Days to Maturity
✓ Beets |
✓ Carrots |
✓ Parsnips |
✓ Rutabagas |
✓ Brussels sprouts |
✓ Garlic |
✓ Cabbage |
✓ Broccoli |
✓ Cauliflower |
✓ Fava Beans |
60 Days to Maturity
✓ Early carrots |
✓ Leeks |
✓ Turnips |
✓ Kohlrabi |
✓ Early cabbage |
✓ Collard greens |
✓ Swiss chard |
✓ Peas |
✓ Kale |
30 Days to Maturity
✓ Chives |
✓ Radishes |
✓ Spinach |
Herbs such as thyme, rosemary and sage will also do fine during a mild winter. Parsley and cilantro can be reseeded year-round in many places, whenever a fresh patch is desired. Unless you have very warm winters, avoid trying to grow corn, tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, and melons during the winter, as they are primarily warmer weather crops.
This page has a handy timetable to guide your seed sowing. Keep in mind that these dates are based on the climate in Sumner, Washington, so the timetable may shift for your geographic region and gardening zone. There are really no hard and fast rules for when specific crops must be planted. All of this requires a bit of trial and error… but that's half the fun!
Where to Plant
You don't necessarily have to designate a separate winter garden space. If you already have a summer garden going, most of your veggies will be harvested by late August, leaving an empty bed just in time for planting fall and winter crops.
Be creative! You can tuck winter crops into little nooks and crannies of your yard.
For example, as those annual pansies finish up and become scraggly, you can pull them out, and then sprinkle a few veggie seeds into that spot and top it off with a little fresh garden mix and compost. Then come spring, you have veggies where the pansies were. Or, consider edging an 18-inch path along the sidewalk to your front door with a colorful carpet of winter greens. By the time the plants are a few inches tall, you will need to thin them—just pull out a few for an instant salad of fresh baby greens in November!
You can also plant many veggies in containers. Container gardening is a great way to have a small garden if you live in a condo or have limited space. If you live in the city, you might even consider a rooftop garden, or a vertical garden." Some folks are even getting into aquaponics, which combines hydroponics with fish to fertilize the plants, using less than 2 percent of the water and one-tenth of the energy of conventional farming, for ten times the vegetable yield!
But getting back to more conventional outdoor gardens, think about how far you will want to walk to access your garden in the wintertime.
You may want easy access for grabbing something from the garden on those cold, dark wintery evenings.
Or, if you want to force yourself to walk more, then plant it a ways away from the door. Just remember that on cold and rainy winter days, you MIGHT not want to journey to the far ends of your property to snip a sprig of parsley. The point is to consider how the season will impact your energy level and lifestyle, and plan accordingly. You also need to consider where other critters might have access to your garden goodies—like deer, if you live in an area where this is an issue.
Tips for Preparing and Planting Your Winter Garden
Here are some tips to assist you in the preparation of your winter garden bed. (Most of the following tips come from organic gardening expert Howard Garrett, also known as The Dirt Doctor.)
First, the DON'T'S:
- Don't remove native soil unless building the raised beds causes drainage problems. Existing native soil is an important part of the bed preparation mix.
- Don't till wet soil. Tilling, forking or digging holes in wet soil does damage by squeezing the soil particles together, compacting it and eliminating the air spaces needed for healthy soil life.
- Don't use peat moss, pine bark or washed concrete sand. These products are problematic, especially when compared to the natural organic choices.
- Don't spray toxic herbicides. Spraying toxic herbicides anytime is a bad idea, but in the winter, it's even worse because they don't kill dormant grasses and weeds.
And now for the DOs:
- Remove unwanted vegetation wisely. Scrape away any existing weeds and grass and toss that material into the compost pile or replant the sod elsewhere. Always remove the grass BEFORE you do any tilling. Tilling first drives the reproductive part of the grasses and weeds down into the ground, which will create a weed problem. Organic herbicides can be used in the summer, but physical removal (including the root) is still better.
- Raise the beds. Walls aren't essential, but the top of the beds should be flat and higher than the surrounding grades with sloped edges for drainage. This lifting happens naturally if proper amounts of amendments are added to the native soil.
- Add amendments. Add 4 - 6" of compost, dry molasses or other organic fertilizer (2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.), zeolite (10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.), lava sand (10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.), greensand (4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.), and whole ground horticultural cornmeal (2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.). If your budget allows, add one-half inch of decomposed granite. Rototill or fork to a total depth of 8 inches.
- Make mycorrhizae your new best friend. Mycorrhizae are fungi that interact symbiotically with the roots of plants, resulting in great benefits for both. Garden supply stores are now carrying several mycorrhizae products that will make your garden plants thrive, dramatically improving root strength, water and nutrient transport into the plant, and better competitiveness against weeds.
- Moisten beds before planting. Planting beds should be moistened after being prepared and before the planting begins (moist but not sopping wet). Do not plant in dry soil because tender young roots will dehydrate quickly as they try to grow; roots of any transplants should be sopping wet and thoroughly hydrated.
- Bare root plants. Pot-bound plants can resist water, which results in unhealthy root development. Soak root balls in water for at least 30 minutes or until they are thoroughly saturated. Remove most if not all of the soil and synthetic fertilizer pellets. Separate the rootballs (and even trim off the perimeter if root bound), and spread the roots out in a radial pattern, and then cover them with prepared bed soil, for healthy root development.
- Plant high. Set plants high with the top of the rootballs slightly higher than the surrounding soil. This is especially critical on woody plants—make sure the trunk flares are uncovered and visible. Setting the plant too low can cause poor growth or drowning.
- Mulch beds after planting. Add 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch after planting. Use shredded native tree trimmings for trees, shrubs and ground cover, and a thin layer of compost for annuals and perennials. Never pile mulch onto the stems of plants.
- Harvest winter veggies in the warmth of the day. Wait until the plants have had a few hours to get well above freezing in their protected environment.
Create a Microclimate Using Cold Frames, Cloches, and Row Covers
If you live in an area where temperatures routinely drop below 25 degrees F, you may need the assistance of row covers or cold frames for successful winter gardening. These don't have to be fancy or expensive. You can see how these work in the second video at the top of this article.
According to Eliot Coleman of VegetableGardener.com:
"A cold frame is a simple bottomless box with a removable glass or plastic lid that protects plants inside from excessively low temperatures, wind, snow, and rain. It creates a microclimate that is a zone and a half warmer than your garden. My garden may be in Maine, but the plants in my cold frame think they're in New Jersey. A cold frame in New Jersey provides Georgia weather. The result is a harvest of fresh vegetables all winter long."
You can look at pictures of his cold frame, as well as learn how to construct your own, at the link above. And this webpage has numerous tutorials and videos related to cold frame gardening.
Row covers are simply lightweight plant protection blankets that can be draped over a row of plants during cold spells. You can choose from a variety of row covers, based on how much sunlight they let in and how much air circulation they allow. Simple row covers can be held in place with metal anchors, dirt, bricks, rocks, or even filled water jugs. Once the covers are no longer needed, you can store them away until next year.
Another lightweight, portable structure to shelter plants is called a cloche. Cloches are informal structures, very similar to a "hoop house" or "high tunnel." These are built using PVC pipe bent into hoops, with plastic sheeting draped across the piping and anchored down with rocks or filled water jugs. Of course, it's always useful to have a greenhouse, as your budget and space allows.
Organic Pest Control
Although pest control is easier in the winter, you will probably have SOME irritating freeloaders. It is possible to control pests without toxic chemical products. But there is an art to it—organic products require a more patient and persistent approach, as opposed to the "sledge hammer" approach of toxic chemicals. According to the Dirt Doctor, biodiversity of microbes, insects and animals is the best long-term control.
On his website, Howard Garrett offers a few organic products for sale to home gardeners. But you can also make your own inexpensive organic pest control products using ordinary items you probably already have in your pantry. For example, a homemade garden spray that will discourage most pests combines mashed garlic paste with a little cayenne pepper or horseradish.
Add a small amount of this mixture to a gallon of water and let it sit for a day or two, shaking occasionally. Then just spray it on the affected plant. You may want to test the spray out first by spraying a small amount onto a few leaves, to make sure it's not so strong that it burns them.
Garrett suggests that, for aphids (a common garden pest plaguing backyard gardeners and professional gardeners alike), you can control them pretty well using a mixture of compost tea, molasses, and orange oil. He adds that lemon Joy dishwashing soap mixed at a rate of one ounce per gallon of water also works. With a little trial and error, you may come up with your own dynamite mixture.
For more details on these types of natural solutions to pests of all kinds, I recommend the book Dead Snails Leave No Trails by Nancarrow and Taylor, or visit the website BeyondPesticides.org. They have a section on do-it-yourself natural solutions to a wide range of pest problems, along with how to find pest management companies that use non-toxic products.
More Gardening Resources
Our main gardening source is The Dirt Doctor. Several gardening sites also highly recommend a book by Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch called Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long. Their website Four Season Farm includes a number of resources that will help you learn about year-round gardening.
As far as online resources, here are several others to help you along your path:
- National Gardening Association
- Dave's Garden
- Vegetable Gardening Guru
- Organic Gardening
- Garden Guides
- The Helpful Gardener
- American Horticultural Society Master Gardener Program
- American Community Gardening Association
- Beyond Pesticides
- USDA Hardiness Zone Finder
- National Wildlife Federation Garden Zone Map (Updated for Climate Change Trends)
Growing your own food is the wave of the future. We must all become better stewards of the land. A garden for all seasons is a great step forward, and the seeds you sow now will reap great health benefits later for you and your family.
