How much do you know about how the sport of purebred dogs is governed? Do you know who's in charge, how the decisions are made, and are you aware that you, too, can have some input in which direction the dog fancy is heading?
We dog fanciers, just like most other people, often complain about how bad things are, but we seldom try to change them. Perhaps that's because most of us are so busy with our own dogs, dealing with the day-to-day problems involved in showing and breeding dogs, that the ivory towers where those with real power supposedly exist seem impossibly remote.
Yet almost any active dog person can to some degree have an impact on what's happening at the top level. If you belong to one of the more than 500 AKC member clubs (local all-breed clubs, national parent clubs, whatever), you are already on your way to exerting some influence.
Here's how it works. The American Kennel Club, as you probably know, does not have individual members; it's a "club of clubs" and each member club has the right to appoint a delegate, who may then attend the quarterly AKC meetings on his or her club's behalf. The delegate is obligated to vote as instructed by his or her club in matters that come before the delegates. This includes election of the AKC Board of Directors — the people who actually run the club. The delegates also have "sole power to make the Rules governing dog shows and field trials," and may be elected to serve on any of a number of Standing Committees, which present their findings for a vote. (It's in the committees, I'm told, that most of the "real work" is done.)
In addition, a delegate may run for a place on the AKC Board. This means that a regular club member can — at least in theory — go straight to the top of the AKC hierarchy. It may be just about as hard to do so as winning BIS at Westminster, but there is a straight line from top to bottom in our sport, and it helps to remember that.
It was an interesting experience to attend, after so many years in dogs, my first AKC Delegates meeting in New York in March. This was reportedly the biggest Delegates meeting ever, which was easy to believe, looking out over the vast conference room filled with hundreds of delegates. (More than 400 voted, which, when you think about it, really is "democracy in action.")
Some had told me that being a delegate would be a waste of time and that the delegates just can't get anything accomplished. I don't think that's true. Others have already written about what occurred; for one thing, the delegates voted in three new Directors to the AKC Board (two from the floor, meaning that they defeated the nominating committee's choices): Patricia Cruz, Thomas S. Powers and William Feeney. As you probably know by now, the new AKC Chairman is Alan Kalter, a long-time active breeder of Bullmastiffs, and the new Vice President is Dr. Robert D. Smith, well known to most active dog fanciers as a judge of all seven AKC groups.
One interesting result of delegate activity was the feedback to a survey titled "The Importance of Your AKC Delegate" that had been sent to 2,355 member club officers and delegates. Their 960 responses represent the views of a cross-section of the more active and, one hopes, most knowledgeable, within the fancy. (The entire survey is on AKC's website.) One of the things that came across most strongly in the answers was the frustration felt by many that all AKC Delegates meetings are now held on the East Coast (New York, Florida, North Carolina), placing a financial burden on the majority of the delegates who must travel long distances to get there. You don't have to live in the West to be appalled that AKC is still so "East-centric." Many also felt it's high time AKC should enter the 21st century and offer some form of more cost-effective tele- or video conference.
When he wrote, in 1835, that "We get the government we deserve," Alexis de Tocqueville was referring to American society in general, but the same principle applies to the dog fancy. This is YOUR sport, and if you are not happy with AKC you need to get involved in your club and help appoint a delegate who can affect the changes you want. It's as simple as that.

Overview Services Involuntary Resettlement Indigenous Peoples
The World Bank's environmental and social safeguard policies are a cornerstone of its support to sustainable poverty reduction. The objective of these policies is to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people and their environment in the development process.
The effectiveness and development impact of projects and programs supported by the Bank has substantially increased as a result of attention to safeguard policies. This approach has often provided a platform for the participation of stakeholders in project design, and has been an important instrument for building ownership among local populations.
Key Social Safeguards include involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous People, see below.
The East Asia Social Development unit has a core team of Social Safeguards Practitioners with experience in providing review and clearance support to the Regional Safeguards Secretariat (put in their URL) as well as technical operational support to task Teams on two of the Bank's Social Safeguards Policies. These are the OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and OP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples).
In addition, the EAP Social Team is closely engaged with the Social Development Anchor on the Safeguards agenda. There is now a newly formed Technical sub-Committee of the Practice Group on Safeguards with representatives from all Bank regions, QACU, LEGEN and SDV. The main objectives of this group:
Back to top
Involuntary Resettlement
The Bank's Operational Policy 4.12: Involuntary Resettlement is triggered in situations involving enforced land aquasition and restrictions of access to legally designated parks and protected areas. The policy aims to avoid involuntary resettlement to the extent feasible, or to minimize and mitigate its adverse social and economic impacts. It promotes participation of displaced people in resettlement planning and implementation, and its key economic objective is to assist displaced persons in their efforts to improve or at least restore their incomes and standards of living after displacement.
The policy prescribes compensation and other resettlement measures to achieve its objectives and requires that borrowers prepare adequate resettlement planning instruments prior to Bank appraisal of proposed projects.
Indigenous Peoples
On May 10, 2005, the Executive Directors approved a revised policy on Indigenous Peoples. The updated policy, as reflected in the OP/BP4.10, Indigenous Peoples, replaces the earlier policy (OD 4.20, Indigenous Peoples). OP/BP 4.10 applies to all investment projects for which a Project Concept Review took place on or after July 1, 2005.
The policy on Indigenous Peoples has the potential to benefit directly or indirectly 250 million Indigenous Peoples around the world. Indigenous Peoples are distinct populations in that the land on which they live, and the natural resources on which they depend, are inextricably linked to their identities and cultures. The revised Indigenous Peoples policy has retained the policy requirements of OD 4.20 that Bank-financed projects are designed not only to avoid adverse impacts but equally importantly to provide culturally appropriate benefits. In terms of changes to the policy, OP/BP 4.10 introduces clarification and simplification in two critical ways:
The revised Indigenous Peoples Policy introduces greater flexibility into project processing requirements by: (a) specifying that the level of detail is proportional to the complexity of the proposed project and commensurate with the nature and scale of the proposed project's potential effects; and (b) proposing a planning framework (instead of an up-front plan) for projects that involve preparation and implementation of annual investment programs and multiple subprojects. OP/BP 4.10 strengthens requirements in the following areas:
To aid staff in the application of the revised policy, the Quality Assurance and Compliance Unit, in close collaboration with regional safeguards teams, has been organizing orientation workshops on a regular basis.

I'm looking for a data vendor with reliable data (and affordable price) that provides end of day data for at least US, german, french, italian and spanish equities. The data export should be automated so I may call from Excel, Matlab or R. I've found Esignal on demand but it seems there is no way to automate data retrieval. I've also seen XigniteGlobalHistoricalFile but seems to be meant for professional use and I guess it's going to be very expensive.
The closest I've found is this but doesn't include German or Spanish equities for example.

Perpetual bonds find favour with investors
July 17, 2007
Perpetual bonds issued by local banks now seem to be the flavour of the season. The surfeit of liquidity, a benign interest rate outlook and lack of good investment avenues for institutional investors have propelled a lot of interest in these debt offerings. A perpetual bond is a bond with no maturity date. Investors continue to receive coupon payments throughout the life of this instrument while the issuer does not have an obligation to redeem these bonds. Both Punjab...

MUMBAI: State-run IDBI Bank plans to raise Rs 2,500 crore by selling perpetual bonds at about 10.75% annual coupon rate. This will be the second such issuance in the country after Bank of India's that is compliant with Basel III capital adequacy norms - an international regulatory framework for banks. Perpetual bonds do not offer fixed maturity but the issuer can call back the issue after five years. The bank sought ratings for this particular bond issuance...

MUMBAI: Rating agency Crisil today said it has given an 'AA+' (stable) rating to Andhra Bank's Rs 1,000-crore long-term infrastructure bond, making it the first rated issuance after revised Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. It has also reaffirmed its ratings on the bank's tier I perpetual bonds and upper tier-II bonds at 'AA/stable'. Earlier this month, the RBI had revised regulations on long-term bonds, with a minimum maturity of seven...
Banks allowed to float perpetual bonds abroad
July 22, 2006
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India has allowed banks to float perpetual bonds in international financial markets. The move, announced on Friday, may give commercial banks an additional route to shore up their capital base. Public sector banks today have very little headroom left for equity offering without taking the government's stake below 51%. Perpetual bonds are a cross between debt and equity. They are similar to bonds as they offer a fixed rate of return...
Bank of Maharashtra perpetual bonds get 'AA'
July 23, 2007
MUMBAI: CRISIL has assigned AA/Stable rating to Bank of Maharashtra's Rs 225 crore perpetual bonds issue.

The government's stake in Bank of Maharashtra, at 76.77%, is higher than the stipulated minimum shareholding of 51%; this gives the bank the flexibility to raise additional equity in the event of distress.

Basel norms may hit payout to PSU bank bond holders
December 24, 2013
Saikat Das , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: A new risk has crept into investments of fund houses and insurance companies that have put money in 'perpetual tier I bonds' floated by state-owned banks a year ago. The tricky nature of the investments owes its origin to a new rule that many may have missed. It's like this: If an issuer (say, a bank) suffers loss in a financial year, it must take permission from the Reserve Bank of India to pay interest to bond holders. This is part of a special...

Vt. senators push for Saturday mail
Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InWOODBURY Vermont State Police were called out to deal with two women who got into a fight on...

Minn. mother, son accused of stealing gopher feetJune 18, 2013 @ 2:45 pm
PRESTON, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota mother and her 18-year-old son are accused of stealing nearly $5,000 in frozen gopher feet and selling them for a bounty.
Thirty-seven-year-old Tina Marie Garrison and Junior Lee Dillon, both of Preston, were charged last month with receiving stolen property and theft. They allegedly gave the feet to local townships that offer rewards as they try to limit the gopher population.
Garrison has pleaded not guilty. Her son has a hearing next month.
The complaint says a gopher trapper reported to authorities that bags of feet were stolen from his freezer. According to the complaint, the owner found Dillon had turned in $1,014 in feet in November. In December, Garrison turned in $3,780 in feet.
The Post-Bulletin ( http://bit.ly/1299xC8) reports Dillon denied turning in any feet for the bounty.

Josh Cogdill
Feb. 27, 2014
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Colorado State track and field is off to good start Thursday at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships in New Mexico.
Josh Cogdill sits first in the men's heptathlon with 3,166 points. Justin Green is close behind in second with 3,087. Colton Grandbouche sits sixth. The men's heptathlon will continue with their final events Friday at 11:00 a.m. MT.
After today's events, Jessica Green finished seventh in the women's pentathlon with 3,528 points, and teammate Monica Franco placed 11th with 3,309. The two contributed two points to the Rams' team score thus far.
Cogdill took control of the men's heptathlon first event, the 60-meter hurdles. He finished first with a time of 7.05 seconds, ahead of the second place competitor by 0.11, setting a new personal record by 0.15. Justin Green came in fifth in the first event, while Colton Grandbouche took eighth.
Each setting new lifetime bests, Green, Cogdill and Grandbouche were anything but shy in the heptathlon long jump. Green finished first, Cogdill was close behind in second, and Grandbouche placed sixth.
His second win in the first three events, Cogdill won the shot-put event with a throw of 43 feet, 2.50 inches. Green came in fifth with 39-5.75, while Grandbouche was sixth with a final mark of 36-10.25.
The Rams finished Day 1 of the heptathlon with the men's high jump. Winning the high jump together, Cogdill and Green both cleared 6-9 to wrap up the first four events of the heptathlon. Grandbouche came in fourth with a height of 6-5.50.
Sophomores Jessica Green and Monica Franco kicked off the women's pentathlon by placing seventh and 10th in the finals of 60-meter hurdles. They would only impress with their big performances for the rest of the day.
Franco would go on to place third in the women's high jump, the second pentathlon event, with a mark of 5-5.75. Green finished eighth in the event. Shot put came around to be a tough one for the women, with Green in eighth and Franco right behind her in ninth.
Jumping 17-2.75 in the fourth event, Green placed seventh in the long jump. Franco finished 12th with a jump of 16-2.50.

improvement (Pathway 2) provided by accountability/selection (Pathway 1). Motivation for process improvement may be influenced by good publicity, higher payments, or access to larger markets.
A number of Pathway 1 motivations relating to medication safety have already been implemented on a trial basis:
Public recognition. Since 1999, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has produced comparative performance reports for Medicare providers. These reports are available online through the CMS website. In Hospital Compare (DHHS, 2005), many of the measures used are medication-related. For heart attack patients, for example, the measures include percent of patients given angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, percent given aspirin at arrival, percent given aspirin at discharge, percent given beta-blockers at arrival, percent given beta-blockers at discharge, and percent given thrombolytic medication.
Preferred provider status. The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog, 2005) is a consortium of buyers of health care. Members have agreed to base their purchase of health care on principles that encourage quality improvement on the part of providers. The Leapfrog Group introduced three safety practices, one of which—the use of computerized provider order entry (CPOE)— directly relates to medication safety; the other two are evidence-based hospital referral and staffing of intensive care units with doctors who have specialized clinical care training. A fourth leap has also been added, consisting of the National Quality Forum's (NQF) 30 safe practices (NQF, 2003), many of which are medication-related.
Rewarding investment in information technology. Bridges to Excellence is an employer-led group aimed at improving the quality of care by recognizing and rewarding health care providers for implementing high-quality care delivery processes (BTE, 2003). For instance, through the Physician Office Link (POL), Bridges to Excellence rewards practices (in specific geographic areas) according to the number of modules implemented from a schedule monitored by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA, 2004). These include (1) clinical information systems/ evidence-based medicine (electronic capabilities for prescriptions and texts, use of electronic systems for prescribing and checking for safety and efficiency, contents of patient information in electronic health records (EHRs), and use of EHRs for decision support), (2) patient education and support, and (3) care management.
Pay for performance. Good performance by hospitals participating in the first year of a joint Premier Inc.–CMS demonstration project (Premier, 2005b) has made hospitals eligible for increased payments of $8.85 million (Premier, 2005a). The initiative covers five conditions (acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, heart failure, community

HD video with the Nokia N9 in various lighting conditions stitched in a two-minute clip
Bill only used Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to sync the music to the clips, but no other corrections of any kind have been applied to the results. He also posted three pictures, which we are embedding below.
The pictures and video below are taken with a prototype version of the Nokia N9, which still has to see the final firmware, but it looks like Nokia was right when it said they tried to cram the Nokia N8 experience in the smaller module of the Nokia N9.
The pictures and video still come oversaturated, though, compared to the natural-looking colors on the Nokia N8, but most people enjoy richer colors anyway, plus the continuous autofocus seems to work like a charm.

WOW!!! i bet you the MT4Gslide cant even do this. this is beautiful :') and its only in 720p HD. Nokia is finally doing things right...until they stopped meego. SMH!
5. false video (unregistered)
The fact that video has gone through Adobe Premiere CS4 itself voids the authenticity of video because Premiere can work magic on rubbish videos. (yes, i use Premiere daily, its bread and butter for me)

wow these are the best pics i've seen on a phone and the video is ok but lets see moving objects not only still scenes with autofocus on close objects

The quality of photos is very good for a 8mpx camera, I'm impressed but the video quality just seems ok, I think it could be a lot better.

Hidden in the alleyway between a bodega and the pretty Cortelyou Q train station—and just across the street from the spiffy new Flatbush Food Coop—Café Tibet is a go-to for takeout. Home to the famous juicy Tibetan soup dumplings called momo ($7.25 for a variety of chicken, beef and vegetable) and the even more addictive sha-baklap (pastry-wrapped beef patties, $7.75 each), Tibet also offers entrées, like an enticingly sour-sweet chili chicken stir-fry ($8.99)—plus a handsome little hidden patio.

Why do you insist on razing 'Canes? Can Kirk Nielsen please explain his motive for continuing to push for University of Miami football player Andre Johnson to receive a harsher penalty for academic dishonesty? He and New Times seem determined not to let this issue go away ("Hurricane Andre," March 21).
The most recent article seems to imply that the UM football program will soon be out of control. That is not true. I can't understand why Nielsen cannot enjoy the success of the team on the field and allow the university administration to handle issues like this as it sees fit. I know of other students who have been caught plagiarizing papers, and none of them has been kicked out of school for an entire year. Is New Times going to begin printing stories on a regular basis about the penalties students receive from UM? This issue has been handled. New Times just needs to let it go.
You are only trying to create a story where there simply isn't one. Issues such as this are supposed to be confidential. I believe the people commenting or writing about Andre Johnson are being very unprofessional in that respect.

can ispconfig account tables become corrupted?
I am new to ispconfig and have run into an issue with one email account. I cannot add aliases to the account be cause ispconfig believes the alias to be in use. ISPconfig also thinks the account name and email address are in use. Is there a table that keeps the account names and aliases that could have become corrupted?
All of our email accounts are last(5)first(2) so Dave Thomas would be firstname.lastname@example.com for example. Ispconfig does not show dave.thomas thomada or davethomas in use as accounts, email addresses, or aliases, but I cannot use any of them. When I try to create the account or add aliases ispconfig gives me an error that they are already in use.
Any thoughts?
Please check the recycle bins!
I have two open threads right now and I think both were resolved in one swift move:
I mentioned before we use a co-domain. When I switched the domain from domain1.com to domain2.com on the basis tab in the web interface, all my problems went away. The catchall was moved to the correct account, all the aliases and bad email accounts started working, and I just might be able to spend the weekend at home instead of the office!
So....what does this mean? Should I keep this method in my back pocket as a "fix all"? What does ispconfig do to the user tables and db files when you swap the main domain in a co-domain configuration?
Thanks for your follow-up I am breathing much easier now.

Walk into a room full of people you don't know. Most of us will see only unfamiliar faces. But some will see a collection of stories waiting to be told.
Thanks to the Roads Scholars program, funded by the N.C. Humanities Council, we will all have the opportunity next weekend to hear some of those stories and to learn how to find the stories of people all around us.
Professional storyteller Sylvia Payne, a Roads Scholars speaker, will be at the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Museum next Sunday. The free program begins at 3 p.m.
Payne is from the Hickory area and loves rural life. As a retired librarian, itinerant storyteller and current editor of The Journal of Tar Heel Tellers, the N.C. Story Telling Guild's journal, she lives surrounded by stories.
In her program she'll share multicultural folktales, stories from history and N.C. legends.
But Sylvia Payne is going to do more than just spin yarns. She's going to talk about why storytelling is important, especially as a way of preserving history.
After I heard about Payne's upcoming lecture, I got to thinking about a story passed around in my family.
According to family lore, when my grandmother was born (the youngest of 11 children), her parents never bothered to name her, just calling her "the baby."
It wasn't until her first birthday that her grandfather decided he needed to call her something and named her Ethel. I never knew my great-grandparents – they had died long before I was born – but from that one story, I can deduce a lot about them.
Stories help us understand each other, ourselves and the world. Not only is storytelling an art form and a means of entertainment, it's also an important tool to help us remember.
On her Web site, Payne writes, "Stories can bring us closer to the truth about ourselves, about life and about living, as well as help us define our own purpose here on earth."
Sylvia Payne emphasizes that storytelling is for everyone and that everyone can – and should – do it.
As part of her presentation next Sunday, Payne will talk about ways to find and preserve our own family stories, in writing or by word of mouth. She encourages her audiences to talk to the older generation, and to discover the wealth of history, knowledge and learning they can share.
She'll remind us not to take the people and stories around us for granted. We need to preserve those stories now, before they are lost forever.
History is about the ordinary, everyday lives that form the patchwork of our families and communities. Next Sunday we all have a chance to hear and share stories, and to learn how to preserve the stories that matter to us.

*Panko Crusted Zucchini and Buitoni
Don't ask me when I became french.. I took french 1 in 9th grade... I learned how to say Je m'appelle Yvette, my name is... (Yvette was my "name" in french class for the semester). Ya, that is about all I got from that class really..
You may remember me mentioning that I joined Foodbuzz, which is a neat community for food bloggers (if you don't remember, check out This post). Joining Foodbuzz has allowed me to find and read some very exciting and fun blogs!! The tastemaker program is offered by foodbuzz, it allows you to try samples or products! It's pretty neat! I signed up for it and received a coupon for a Buitoni product, I chose the Shrimp & Lobster Ravioli with Garlic Butter Sauce. I decided to make panko crusted zucchini to go with it (hey, I gotta get that zucchini used up!!)
The Zucchini is very easy!
You will need:
Zucchini (cut into slices)
2 eggs
a splash of milk
Italian seasoning
Panko bread crumbs
Simply pour some oil in your frying pan, wait until it becomes hot (drip a little bit of water in, if it starts bubbling your oil is hot!). Beat your egg in a bowl, add a splash of milk (maybe 1/8 cup or so). Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings, Beat some more.
On one plate pour some flour (add more seasonings), on a second plate pour some panko bread crumbs. cover zucchini in flour, shake off excess, dip and cover in eggs, then cover with bread crumbs. Place zucchini (carefully) in your frying pan, flip when golden brown, and remove from pan when the other side in browned. Wait till they cool down, and then, enjoy them!!
The Buitoni ravioli's were very easy to prepare. Boil some water, put the sauce pack in to the water, add the ravioli's, then drain. Toss the ravioli's with the sauce. Easy Peasy!! I tried a piece of Ravioli by itself, it had nice big chunks of shrimp in it, and the flavor was very great. The sauce, when I tried it by itself, I wasn't very impressed by it. It tasted alright, but it wasn't amazing. However, after following the rest of the instructions (tossing the pasta and sauce together) and having a bite together, the sauce played nicely with the Shrimp and Lobster. The dish was tasty! And, it is something that would be nice to have in the freezer for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking!!
And, after a Zucchini Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Cake, Grilled Zucchini (2x), and Fried Zucchini.. I STILL had some left over, so..the only thing left to do.. throw the rest in the food processor, strain it, bag it in 1 cup portions and freeze it!! Now later in the year I will be able to make bread and cake any time I want!!
What are some dishes you make with your zucchini??
Happy Eating!!
4 comments:
Fried zucchini is my favorite way to eat it! So delicious with the ravioli! I make fritters or ratatouille pasta with mine and would like to bake with it too, something I haven't done yet. Good idea to freeze it!ReplyDelete
My husband does not like zucchini so I don't get it much. However I steam and purée it with a splash of balsamic for my 9 month old and he loves it. I see more zucchini recipes in my future. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Looks delicious! What a great use for zucchini! I made zucchini pancakes recently and am pretty convinced zucchini is great in anything :)ReplyDelete
Cinnamon Girl, I have been thinking that zucchini fritters would be tasty! Do you have a recipe for that on your blog?ReplyDelete
Nicole, Below is a recipe for Chocolate Zucchini, try it! My boyfriend doesn't like zucchini, and he really likes that cake!! (I didn't tell him zucchini was in it before he tried it! sneaky!)
Serendipity, AGREED!!

Bean - Romano - Phaseolus vulgaris
Tender Annual Pole. Snap. Heirloom. Superb flavor and the lack of strings make this Italian bean a winner. The flat shape of the bean pod is a novelty for the summer table. A big producer of tender beans, Romano is also resistant to mosaic virus.
Soil & Water: Legumes like well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a moderate amount of nutrients. Water lightly at planting, moderately at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time. Avoid overhead watering.
Planting & Growing: Start indoors in short-season climates. Use fiber pots or soil blocks because beans do not like to be transplanted. In other climates beans prefer to be seeded directly once soils have reached at least 65°F after the last frost. Make small, successive plantings every 10 days for a continuous harvest.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest just as the beans reach pencil thickness, if they are allowed to get larger the become tough. These beans can be eaten fresh, canned or frozen.
Did You Know? Plant pole beans at the northern end of your vegetable bed or garden to keep the tall vines from shading out other vegetables and herbs.
Soil Temperature: 60-85°F
Planting Depth: 1"
