|Here near the 49th parallel, it was a cool spring. Only one day did the thermometer get above 80°. There were 3 days since the soltice that were 80°. However, the highest temperature so far in July has been 71° -- until today!
It has been a good year for peas! I just hope I can harvest them before they burn up in what is supposed to soon be 90°!
I'm holding the camera above my head - trying unsuccessfully to show that there are 3 beds but the sugar snaps, in the middle bed, are 6' tall! I'll be able to start picking this week.
The Ol' Pea-Picker
Follow-Up Postings:
|LOL! Well, let me show you mine for comparison, Digit!
That would be five THREE FOOT rows! The one variety got a lot taller than the others—but it's the one that's producing the least! Go figure!
Do you pick all of yours by yourself? I can't even imagine that! Do you sell most of them?
I've actually never figured this out, but the peas are the one thing I have that really don't seem to be much phased by the heat down here! We've had temps from the mid 80's to the upper 90's much of the time for a few weeks now, and the peas are happily chugging along. I'm at least partly convinced that keeping them picked regularly helps to keep them producing, even when it gets pretty hot out. I do SO love peas—raw! As a matter of fact, I wanted some cooked last nite, and I used some of my store bought frozen, petite ones—barely heated to hot! I thought about picking some of my own to eat, but I like them too much raw to pick them and cook them! Besides which, even if I did try to do that, I'd wind up eating all of them anyway while I was shelling them to cook! They'd just never make it into the pot!
I wish I had room for more of them—like everything else—but I'm really, really, really happy to just have "some" that I can pick and eat immediately while the sugar is still sugar! And, oh, my, are they ever sweet this year. I think I've finally found some varieties to put on my "play it again" list!
Happy pea-ing!
|Posted by skybird . . . Do you pick all of yours by yourself? I can't even imagine that! Do you sell most of them?
DW is a much better pea picker than me. I can keep up with her tho'!!! Problem is, I miss 1/3rd of the peas. Have you ever noticed that a pea pod is about the same shape and exactly the same color as a pea leaf? She has to circle around and pick after poor olde me . . .
Yep, probably most of them have customers waiting for them. Still, peas must be the least productive veggie that someone can grow, foot by foot. Snap · Snow · English, they are extremely well-appreciated in this household!!
|. . . your "play it again" list!
|Eh, my timing this year has been dreadful. I put in a 32 foot row in April, and another 32 foot row in early May. The first row managed to be about 6" high when we got the 90 degree week in June, and they never did much - poor pollination, stunted plants - I'm likely to pull the vines this week and plant pole and bush beans.
The 2nd row grew to about 12 - 18" high, and they're in the picking stage now - but they've stopped flowering with the current heat. We'll get another week out of picking them, and if it cools down a bit, they may take off again.
About 4 years ago, I had a year like you're having. Vines 5 feet high, from one row we ate all we could fresh - and thats saying something; picked, shelled and froze maybe 5 lbs or until we got tired of doing it, and then invited the neighbors over to pick.
Raw peas, dill, and pasta salad. Heated raw peas and pesto - thats why I save basil plants in pots over the winter....
|It's been a pretty good year for peas here also. For some reason they didn't get very tall but they did produce a lot. The main bed I've mostly pulled them up in the last couple days and covered that area with straw. It will soon be overrun by melon vines.
"Raw peas, dill, and pasta salad. Heated raw peas and pesto - thats why I save basil plants in pots over the winter...." David you're making me hungry.
|I hadn't run the one variety, Eclipse, past the taste testers yet, Digit, so I just ran out and picked some and did that!
Eclipse has turned out to be the most "interesting" variety! I hadn't picked any because they looked very small yet, but I just discovered that the pods stay very small looking, but the peas inside are very tightly packed and much bigger than it looked like they would be. There were 7 or 8 good size peas in each (small) pod, probably the best of the 5 varieties I tried. They probably wouldn't be too good for selling because people would be getting about twice the amount of actual peas that they would for another variety for the same volume—but they wouldn't know that, so probably wouldn't want to pay twice as much for them! The flavor was also very sweet, but right now I'm thinkin' maybe not quite as sweet as the other 4 varieties—very close. And, while I didn't find any really big ones, I'm thinking they may not stay sweet quite as long as the other 4 varieties—it almost looks like the peas might "outgrow" the pods!
Here's the cut & pasted pea section of my Veggie Garden 2010 "records ledger!" Since you can't post anything here in a chart form, I've modified it with dashes, and here's what you're looking at!
Variety – seed source and date of seed – date germinated – date planted – and comments from different times when I ate them! I pick some of 2 or 3 different varieties each time I pick some and keep them separate so I can taste test them and compare them to each other. Then I go to my "ledger" to list my impressions and see if they agree with previous impressions! (That tells me if the quality stays consistent thru the picking season!) As of right now I'm thinking I may grow all 5 of the same varieties next year. Of course we all know that could change when one starts reading descriptions in the seed catalogs in the dark of winter next year!
Sugar Sprint (Vermont Bean '09) ---- 04.29.10 ---- 04.18.10
Sugar Prince (Vermont Bean sale '09) ---- 05.03.10 ---- 04.18.10
Eclipse (Vermont Bean '09) ---- 05.03.10 ---- 04.18.10
Early Frosty - sugar pea (Seedman '08) ---- 05.03.10 ---- 04.18.10
I don't know if this would help with all the peas you have to pick, but what's helped me "find" them is this! I pick all the ones I can "see" first, and then I go over the vines "feeling" them between my flat hands. I've discovered that I can find a lot more with my hands than I can with my eyes! Peas are definitely funny that way!
I never thought of dill with peas, David. What do you use with the pasta? Mayo? Anything else? I make a salmon salad where I use various shapes of pasta, a can of drained salmon, Miracle Whip, and a bag (or two) of frozen petite peas (I dump them in still frozen)—which are as close as you can get to "real" peas! I love it, but would never have enough home grown ones to use! I wonder if some fresh dill in that would be good. Bet it would! I feel salmon salad coming on! How do you make yours?
BTW, remember the basil seed you gave me when I was down there in '08? What was it called? Sunset something? Well I FINALLY started some of it this year (I'm still off work, so actually have time to do things!) I love it, but none of my basil plants are big enough yet to even take a picture of! I was gone for almost two weeks near the beginning of June, and I'm not sure the neighbors really watered at all while I was gone, so everything just sort of sat there—feeling very alone and neglected I'm sure—but at least nothing died! I just pinched them all (bunch of different types), and I'm keeping everything well watered this year, so they should start bushing out now.
Anybody know if you can grow a successful fall crop of peas? If so, when would you plant them?
|Those salads sound so good!!
I have grown peas for the last 3 or so autumns.
Each year, I have planted the last week of July. Hottest week of the year! I mean, I'm staggering around out there under the sun planting peas!
Snow peas. My reasoning there is that the seeds don't have to develop so they should be ready sooner than the others.
I don't know if that would necessarily be true. Right now, the Super Sugar Snaps are beating out the snow peas.
Anyway, I have actually harvested pea pods covered with frost in October. They don't grow so tall and don't need a trellis, altho' they would benefit from something to help hold them up.
. . . just my experience.
|August would be the time to plant them. There are some threads on gardenweb over at Beans, Peas and other Legumes forum. I read the threads a few months back and the general consensus seemed to be to pick the right variety for fall peas. Of course what works in other parts of the world may not work in your backyard.

|I use 'Oregon Sugar Pod II' as it is more heat-tolerant and good yields, and the intrepid second-grader can go out and pick some peas and eat them right there.
|My son, when he was that age, planted peas out the front gate where the school bus stops so he'd have something to nibble on waiting for the bus. Last year at the farmers market, there was one person selling peas in mid-august. Here, with the cool nights, I bet you could grow them all season.
Re the pea/pasta dill salad, the ones we've made this season were just that, with a bit of vinegar and olive oil dressing - bet flaked salmon would work in there as well. The 'shell' pasta will meet up with the peas better than other forms.
That was Swiss Sunset basil from Territorial. I've kinda moved on to a a Large Leaf Italian version, I think from Johnny's. They're all good.
|Oregon Sugar Pod has been the one I've used for July planting. There has been a continual march of pea varieties thru my gardens in spring plantings.
This year I have Mammoth Melting. I think I've grown that one before (besides a few last year) but it would have to be decades ago. Ever since I learned that there were 3 classes - snap, snow, shell - I've had all 3 each year. I went pea happy!!
Usually, there are more than 3 trellises but, once again, there was a fairly late start in the big veggie garden as I waited for the tractor guy. It probably didn't make much difference. And, I'm tired of building trellises - having 6 one year took care of any enthusiasm I have for that.
One reason that I've tried so many varieties over the years is that there was once some small spark of hope that an actual bush pea would come close to the productivity of the climbers. All those efforts have meant that I've had to crawl around on the ground, lifting trailing pea vines, and picking fewer handfuls per foot . . .
Give me peas, peas, wonderful peas!!

|Got a question for you pea pros. I planted one little 3' row of snap peas for the first time this year, and got a few dozen very tasty pods out of them. However now they've stopped growing for the last few weeks and have no new flowers. Are they done and I should just rip them out? Or will they start growing again at some point? I suppose if it's just too hot, today will be a good test since it's unseasonably cool. Just wondering if I should throw in the towel or not. Undecided if I'll plant again next year, they were really good but quite a small yield for the size of plants.
|I'd pull them up, jeremywildcat. There is a school of thought that cuts them way back and then they re-grow new vines when it gets a bit cooler, but I've had better luck just pulling them and planting something else. I've found that the best yield on peas is to buy seed in bulk and plant the seed so close they're touching. A lb of seed is around $8.00, and will plant a 40 foot row - the seed lasts at least two seasons.
Steve, looking at your trellises, I've been using t-posts and cattle panels to hold up anything that needs trellising; peas, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash - two t-posts will hold a 16' panel easily, and I wire two together for a 32 foot row with 4 posts. It seems like a lot of work but they really are pretty easy - pound the posts in just past the flange - 5 whacks with a driver - stand up the panel, use a foot long piece of baling wire or string to tie the panel to the post in two places, and tah-dum. These things continue to amaze me with how stable they actually are - I've never had one blow over, even when covered in vines and with those big gusts of wind before a thunderstorm.
To pull the posts out, I use a 2nd t-post as a lever, get below one of those bumps, and then a chunk of firewood as the fulcrum. With my new, improved garden design where I fully intend to let the worms do most the heavy work, I'm going to just leave them and amend the soil without taking them down.
Anyway, something to ponder. Off to pull one row of peas, and I'll plant Kings Banquet for the trellis and some French fillet bush beans in the same row.
- Posted by jeremywildcat (My Page) on Wed, Jul 7, 10 at 14:47
|Thanks David - so what are some good options to replace them with this late? Beans you mentioned?
|I've been able to plant bush beans without a failure until the 15th, beyond that it gets real risky.
Never tried pole beans late! David, is that a reasonable choice? I've got a spot for them if it is.
|I just got back from pulling all the peas, then planting the row with French fillet bush beans about 6-8" out from the panels, and right along the panel, those Kings Banquet beans, 2 seeds every square.
The bush beans are rated at 55 days. Last year I planted them in the same bed I pulled garlic - July 8th or so, and I got a pretty good crop - just up-rooted all the plants, picked off the beans and made a dozen quarts of dilly beans.
The pole beans - well - if its warm enough that they germinate in the next 4 or 5 days, they'll do great. Sort of one big harvest instead of strung out over a longer time.
I get the impression that the beans do a whole lot better in warmer weather.
|These pea beds are likely to be replaced by bush beans but it will be a gamble. Instead of rushing into flowering this year, they grew another foot and delayed.
At one time, I thought I could plant bush beans anytime in July but sowing after the 15th only worked in about 2 years out of 3. I've been impressed not only in how quickly beans can grow in the heat but how well they can mature during the cool, rainy weather of September. In a cool spring, they will struggle to emerge but bean plants become rather single-minded when it comes to producing pods and seeds no matter what the circumstances. Of course frost will be their undoing.
Last year, the 1st pea bed to be pulled was replaced with a quick maturing cucumber (Ninja). Those vines had some very nice little cukes late in the season.
|I came back to say that cucumbers are another possibility for planting this time.
Which brings me to my current head-scratcher - this year I'm having a terrible time growing cukes. I had this great idea of planting them in containers and being on the market with fresh ones in June - long before anybody else. So out of 12 containers, I've picked 6 cucumbers, in a month. The ones I started in the greenhouse and planted out along the trellis are just sitting there, no vine taking off. The places I've seeded directly never germinated.
Oh well. My dreams of price gouging the salad shoppers with 2'fer-a-dollah cucumbers are gone. But now - the family will likely riot when we run out of dill pickles, so I've got the seed package in my pocket and i'm on my way to find somewhere to plant them.
|Thought of another one - basil. just sprinkle the seed on the surface, water it in, and it will germinate in <4-5 days. Then in late August, a whole crop for pesto.
- Posted by jeremywildcat (My Page) on Thu, Jul 8, 10 at 12:08
|Thanks guys - I'll probably give the beans a whirl. Maybe I'll do half bush and half pole so I can decide what works best for the future. Already got basil and cukes going, both are must haves for me anyway. Cukes have started taking off but only a few have pollinated so far. I suppose if I could find those "Ninja Cukes" that were mentioned they might be a good addition, if only for the name!
|Today I noticed a handful of volunteer peas and I took this as a sign that fall peas should go in today using Laxton Progress seeds that I collected a few weeks ago. Hopefully it'll work out.
|If it doesn't look like it is "working out" - think about using the vine tips, gjcore. The shell peas are probably going to require at least 60 days to harvest. And, peas do slow down despite being able to grow in cool weather. There is also a lessening of daylight this time of year. That's the opposite of what happens during spring.
As we approach the 1st frost, and if your peas are only just coming into flower, start harvesting the tips. Really, they taste like peas! Who would have thought?!
This will be the 1st year that I haven't had snow peas planted by now. The entire "pea cycle" is off this time. I have just a few bean plants following those trellised beds of peas. (There's also some zucchini and radish.) Everything was running too late in the pea patch and, really, elsewhere in the garden.
If I could be confident of an October frost instead of things getting hit in September (dream on), the schedule could have been different. As it is, I'm running too late . . .
|I am being lazy because I can't think of a title for another thread on late plantings. Also, other than a good year for peas, it was a good year for lettuce . . .
The tomatoes are ripening now and all the corn did fine and the last sowing is coming off. We did have some warm weather and I am pleased at how the melons survived with little more than some disease problems. There are so many ripe and ripening melons, well, I'm quite delighted with them!!
I did plant the pole beans in mid-July and just had the first of the King's Banquet to harvest for dinner last night! The bush beans that followed those peas beds are still not quite ready to pick. They may make it -- yesterday, it was 80ďż˝! But, that might be the last almost-hot, sunny day . . .
A summer succession crop that definitely worked was the transplanted lettuce - we've had lettuce every week this summer, but shade locations have been required for much of it. The bok choy seed I planted the 1st of August, after the potato harvest, is still being harvested. It looks like what was sown the 2nd week of August will be coming along soon! Another Asian green Tokyo Bekana, new-to-me, looks like it will also be ready for the kitchen in a couple more weeks and probably after frost. It was in the last sowing just a couple of weeks ago. Arugula, sown at the same time, may not make (mock pity that ;o).
Kohlrabi, started mid-July, is pretty much just sitting there looking at me. I transplanted them out with the very first cooler weather in August thinking that they would grow quickly, as they do in the Spring. . . .
Oh, and the radish has been in continual supply. Radish hasn't always worked for me as a late crop. One year, I planted it in the shade and it bolted to seed, which was a surprise. It's been fine sown repeatedly in the full sun this season.
How have things gone for you after the peas were out of the way??
|My "fall" peas are coming along okay in fact I just ate the first one. I'm not expecting as big as a harvest as late spring but it's cool they'll be some peas in the fall.
|Steve, the Kings Banquet pole beans went gang-busters, and I'm still going out and picking a bucket every three days. The bush beans were pretty close - I pulled them all out over Labor Day weekend and made pickles, I would have liked to leave them another week but we had a frost forecast. Which never showed up, and the pole beans are still going strong. Days in the 80's, nights in the low 40's. This year, they are so sweet.
I ate a dozen pea pods today, volunteers from the earlier harvest, working on the garlic beds.
|I was surprised that a pole bean sown about July 7th would produce anything, David.
We haven't quite gotten there yet tho' - a hat full of bean per teepee. Still, that's a good start and the plants are over 8'.
We have a change in the forecast, I'm sorry to say. Lots of days of light rain ahead and high temperatures once again falling to the low 60's. I'm afraid that this is "it" for the growing season. Nevertheless, I am always surprised how well a frost-sensitive bean plant can do in low temperatures.
It is a lesson I had to learn: don't give up on green beans late in the season. They won't give up and, in fact, seem highly motivatedS'

I should have said "after the Spring peas are out of the way." I'd have enjoyed seeing the vines right now . . . just too far behind the 8-ball earlier.
Something that didn't work very well for me this season was the late planting of zucchini. Some of those plants are ridiculously tiny!
|I just finished picking, blanching, and freezing 10 gallons of pole beans off a 40' row, thats the 4th picking and the biggest yield this season. I left several dozen on the vines to go to seed and they're still flowering. Probably turning into the best year for these I've ever had.
|This year was pretty good for peas, but it probably could have been better. Still, i was able to try several varieties, and i have collected many new varieties to try next year.
I tried Dwarf Gray Sugar, Blue Podded (purple-podded), Golden Sweet (yellow-podded snow pea), Midnight Snow (purple-podded snow pea), and Biskopens (red-seeded pea). I tried my hand even at breeding a few peas together, but i wont know until the F2 generation if i successfully bred a red-podded pea.
Next year i'm anxious to try several varieties. Of the ones that i'm excited most about are Opal Creek (yellow-podded snap pea) and a Purple-podded snap pea (with hyper-tendrils) bred by Alan Kapuler in Oregon. If I am able to successfully breed those together i will be able to get a red-podded snap pea!
|I am glad you brought this up at this very moment, Keen.
The entire 2011 harvest of Green Arrow was completed in a matter of minutes and I enjoyed some of them with new potatoes, last night!
What a difference a year makes! I don't know what the problem was this spring. Or, I don't know what the critter was this spring! Something feasted on the first 2 beds of peas I put in!
The seedlings had barely emerged when they began to show damage - like grasshoppers make. But, I hadn't seen 1 grasshopper. The only bugs in the garden I had seen in any number were flea beetles and yet, I don't think I ever saw any on the peas.
What I am wondering is if the beetle larvae were in the soil in that part of the garden and chewing up the seedlings as they emerged. I don't know but it was terrible.
I sprayed with rotenone/pyrethrin without apparent effect. Only a few plants at the end of one bed survived well enuf to flower and produce pods. They were so few and stunted that I didn't build any trellis for them.
Elsewhere, the peas were replaced with cucumber transplants and more tomatoes! This is the 1st time I can remember when I've had so much trouble with peas. And the spring weather in 2010 & 2011, was remarkably similar.
Good Luck with your peas in 2012! We will all be interested to know how the plant breeding turns out but please tell us what you thought of the varieties you grew this year.
|Well, My favorite this year was Golden Sweet. It was a very early producer, and produced plenty of pods. I think the flavor could be improved a little bit, but it was pretty good, and easy to spot the pods.
Dwarf Gray Sugar was very tasty even though most of them seemed to be closer to shelling peas than snow peas. Still it produced tons of small green pods, and was tasty.
Midnight Snow was pretty good, but i actually liked eating the seeds when they got a little bigger instead of eating the pods as snow peas.
Biskopens was certainly interesting to grow. I guess it's really a field pea, and is refereed to as a "grey pea", which basically means it would be best used as a soup pea or to make "mushy peas". Apparently they can make their own gravy. I guess these kinds of peas have been out of favor for several decades. It grew 6ft+, and it was a very late producer. many of the pods are still maturing now, but it might be heat tolerant.
The Blauwschokkers were very similar to Midight Snow in appearance, but these were not snow peas. These were shelling peas, and weren't really that sweet. Probably best used as soup pea as well.
|I probably just finished the last of my peas & new potatoes for the season with my 9am lunch. Hey, breakfast was at 3:30!
Therefore, looking carefully at the names of these peas, Keen, I can honestly say that other than the Dwarf Grey Sugar - I haven't heard of any of them!
The dwarf version hasn't made it into my garden but I've grown the Mammoth Grey a couple of times. The Golden Sweets sound interesting but up until now, I would have panicked if the pea pods had turned yellow at harvest! Those 2 purple-podded varieties are probably very attractive.
Any trouble with weevils in the saved seed?
|Hi Steve,
um, no weevils. Truthfully i don't really know what a weevil is. I don't even know if we get them out here. Some sort of beetle? I'm pretty sure a lot of the pests other people get in other parts of the country aren't found here.
There were a few tiny little bugs (baby centipedes?) that did start attacking some of my early harvested seed. But, i rinsed the seeds lightly, and that fixed the problem. A few midnight snow peas were the only ones that had 1 or two pods eaten through by those same little bugs, but strangely enough the seeds from those pods were untouched.
Here is a link that might be useful: My yellow-podded Pea 2011
|Good looking snow pea, Keen!
Weevil "(d)amage consists of complete or partial destruction of infested seeds by numerous round holes or destruction of all but the outer shell."
And, that is what happened a couple of times with my saved pea seed. It hasn't happened every time and I'm told that putting the seed in the freezer will "fix" the weevils.
Don't know, tho' but it might be something to watch for.
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed weevils

It's ok I've just found a reply in another thread that says they are plug and play!
Thanks for the guide, did mine yesterday. :)
Hi all, just bought a Sony DAB to replace my standard ford unit in my 2012 (61) focus Zetec S, i followed this topic and fitted it easily, although when testing the sony unit out i found that i'd lost all my bluetooth/usb compatability. After a bit of trail and error i found that when i replaced the lcd screen which came with the sony back to the standard blue dot matrix screen i retrieved all my bluetooth/usb setting. Any ideas on this? Id much rather have the nice lcd screen in with my sony head unit than the standard blue one but not having the BT & USB/AUX working with the lcd will surely p**s me off after a while.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
If you have Ford Sync it sounds like you're using a screen from a stereo without Sync which means you lose those functions (tried it on a friend's 62 plate recently :()
I think mines the opposite of what you mentioned, as the screen which came with the sony has sync as one of the menu functions, where as I think my focus is just Bluetooth with USB :/
I have a spare colour non-Sync screen but I'm looking for a Sync version! PM me if you're interested in a swap.
Does anyone know if it will work if I only buy the colour display, without Sony unit?

Multiple Sclerosis affects people in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 20 and 50. Every hour someone is newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. More than 2.5 million people worldwide live with this unpredictable disease. The symptoms of MS are different for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day. Some of you may have noticed that I wear a red band on my right arm that supports the MS Society. My mother-in-law Mary and Kristin's Uncle Steve both live with MS and this is just my way of bringing awareness and raising money to help find a cure.
I will MAKE MY MARK and do my part to make a difference in the lives of those living with MS. By supporting me you too will MAKE YOUR MARK in this pursuit.
Let's Move Forward Together
Currently there is no cure for MS. The money that is raised will be used to find the cause, treatment, and ultimately the cure of multiple sclerosis. The money is also used to provide education, information, direct financial support, and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS.
Please join me in the movement to do something about multiple sclerosis now!

As a family that buys their weekly shopping in one place on a credit card then settles the bill each month (to get double points) I can be pretty accurate.
Family of 4 (2 adults, a 5 yo and a 3 yo) plus a dog is about Ł9.5k a year. I'd say that's about 1/3 too much on average, but we all eat well. It includes a very small amount of alcohol and occasionally some kids clothing. No tech or entertainment (CDs, DVDs etc.)

As any teenager will tell you, popularity is a fickle thing. Wikipedia defines this as the elusive quality of being well-liked; well-known; or in demand.
Not just a concern for teenagers – life is all about reaching for unattainable goals, being seen as 'one of the best' – and this is no different in the blogosphere. As a result, many bloggers have taken to offering tips on how to 'become more well-known, more quoted, and more linked to'. In other words, more popular.
So you've registered a blog, you have funky ideas… but how do you build an audience that will keep coming back for more? Popular local blogger, Laurian Clemence (A.K.A Peas on Toast), states the following: "I think just from my experience, it's all about how you write – not what you write about. A good example of this would be a very popular blog called 'The Most Boring Blog In the World.' The blogger writes two to five lines each day on inanimate objects – it's true genius." Peas adds that it's important to engage and interact with an audience – replying to their comments, asking them questions, and making some posts interactive should get the ball rolling.
Good advice. Also keep in mind that while content is key, blogs that look good and are designed nicely also attract readers. Any blog with content that is controversial; pushes the envelope slightly; feeds drama; or is on a personal level, is generally popular as it is entertaining and creates a diversion from ordinary life.
Post your ways of increasing blog readership below.

Ask Ananda's Experts
Questions and answers about meditation, yoga, the spiritual life, and more
Category: Paramhansa Yogananda
Page 1 of 6 Next
July 22
Darshan Pawargi
In chapter 18 of The Autobiography of a Yogi, there's a footnote that reads, "I do not recall the name of Sri Yukteswar's friend, and must refer to him simply as 'Babu' (Mister)." — Until I read this note the chapter was fine; after reading this comment it hit me — why did Master not recall the name and use it? Everywhere he made sure that the names and details are there. Please help me understand. I felt if he wanted to use the name — he could have. But why he didn't?
Dear Darshan,
It's difficult to know what Yogananda had in mind in this instance in using the general term, "Babu." Perhaps he really did not recall the man's name, or perhaps he never knew it, or maybe he didn't clearly hear the name from Sri Yukteswar.
Where is the phrase "Banat banat ban jai" found in Autobiography of Yogi?
Dear Craig,
This quote is one that Lahiri Mahasaya often used, and is recalled by his disciple, Swami Pranabananda, in chapter 27 of the Autobiography of a Yogi (page 246 in the original reprint of the 1946 edition, available from Crystal Clarity Publishers).
July 18
I've two (rather strange!) questions. I hope you'll answer them.
1. Have there been saints and avatars in other planets in this universe?
2. I consider Yogananda as my Guru, and I desire very much that he would still be in my next life, even if I would be born in another planet. But I strongly remember Swamiji saying that we would get a Guru only of Master's line if that is the one we worship, in any life. How is it then that one of these Gurus would be my Guru in another planet?
Dear friend,
From what Paramhansa Yogananda said, it seems fairly certain that saints and avatars are abiding on other planets.
As for your second question – the most important point is to deepen your attunement with Yogananda and feel his presence through the practice of the techniques that he taught (the Energization Exercises, Hong Sau, AUM, and Kriya). Let your heart open with ever deepening devotion to God and Guru and then He will take care of you, whether you are born on this planet again or on some other planet. Remember that an avatar such as Yogananda isn't limited by time and space so there's no need to have any concern in this regard.
July 18
What English version of the Bible do you consider to be closest to the original? Is there a printed version available that includes those parts that were later excised? I wonder why Yogananda used the King James version when he referenced the Bible, even though this version is noted for the liberties it took — liberties that favored poetic appeal over fidelity of meaning. Was Master simply trying to reach the broadest swath of American Christians?
Dear Alexandra,
Swami Kriyananda told us that Yogananda almost always preferred to use the King James version, primarily because of its beautiful, poetic way of putting things.
As for fidelity, Yogananda's interpretations of Biblical scripture were offered from a superconscious understanding and from tuning into deeper meanings of the scriptures, especially of the teachings of Jesus — so this takes care of any fidelity issues.
March 29
I have faith that the Lord Jesus Christ is God. I see that Yogananda has written a commentary on the Bible. I have it but have not read it all. The main belief of followers of Christ is that if you believe Christ was resurrected from the dead and that he is the son of God then you shall have eternal life. Does Yogananda write anything about this? Why would he not encourage people to believe in Christ and become free after death?
Dear Joe,
It is very good that you have faith that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, because it is true! But it is also important to remember that Jesus said (talking to all of us!) that "...you, too are Gods." Jesus also said that "...everything I have done, you can do also."
February 23
Dear Friend,
What would you say are the 10 core teachings of Yogananda's path?
Dear One,
You asked a very good question. As I see it, the first and most important of Yogananda's top ten core teachings starts with the thought, love God. This means love God with all, your mind, with all your body and with all your strength. I say this because after reading, "The Autobiography of a Yogi" (AY) by Yogananda. After reading that book I couldn't help but feel Master was trying to share with us how deeply the saints he wrote about loved God. Their love and devotion for God and guru is extremely inspiring to me.
November 2
United States
Can you please tell me in which book Paramahamsa Yogananda wrote about the chakras and the Bhagavad Gita?
Dear Friend:
There is a book published by Self-Realization Fellowship called God Talks to Arjuna. It is Yogananda's commentaries on the Bhagavad-Gita. His original manuscript forms the basis of it, but it has been highly edited by SRF so it is not really his style or voice. Much of the information is from him, but by no means all of it. For example, the book is filled with footnotes which Yogananda never included.
Obviously, I am no so keen on that book, and, fortunately there is another option.
June 19
I felt drawn to Yogananda, his book appeared to me at a time that I knew nothing about him. I have found a fellowship meditation group and have been a couple of times and have felt very welcome. I have spent a long time searching for a spiritual home and have struggled with my Christian culture. With Yogananda i love the East and West being brought together. But how do you know that Yogananda is your Guru? How do you grow attuned to him?
Dear Linda,
If you feel attracted to Yogananda, then view that as a sign of encouragement for you to explore his teachings and guidance. As you grow spiritually, and tune into the path and meditation techniques that Yogananda taught, you'll find from within whether Yogananda is your guru.

Artis Royal Zoo, set in a large park, is a truly remarkable place where wildlife meets culture and where wisdom merges with pleasure. Artis was founded in the year 1838. The Amsterdam Zoo is the oldest of Netherlands. In the beginning there were only a few monkeys, deer and parrots to see. Over the years the Zoo was getting bigger and there were more and more animal species. The full name is Natura Artis Magistra. Which is Latin for: nature is the teacher of art and science. Meaning that nature is so beautiful, that anyone who wants to create a work of art, better first looks at the shapes and colours of animals and plants.
Artis has stunning monumental and ancient buildings and out of the ordinary gardens. The characteristic buildings give Artis its typical charisma and style. Some of the houses date all the way back to before the zoo was established. As Artis rapidly expanded, various plots of land were purchased, some with existing structures on them, including the Wolf House, which used to be the Oak and Linden Inn. And the Masman Garden House, which is now home to the scarlet ibises and other animals.
Until 1851, admission to Artis was granted only to a select group of members. The common people of Amsterdam were only allowed to visit the park later on – and even then only in September. Their admission fee in that one month was only 25 cents. Artis has been open to the public since 1920. September is still the discount month, with a 25% discount.

Governor Paterson's response to the passage of the Health Care Bill
ALBANY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Governor David Paterson issued the following statement Sunday night in response to the passage of the health care bill.
Paterson said, "I applaud the New York State Congressional Delegation and their colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives for their passage of comprehensive health care reform legislation.
"This reform will benefit New York's individuals, families, and small business owners who have struggled with spiraling health care costs, making coverage both accessible and affordable. It ensures that Americans receive the care they need – regardless of preexisting conditions, without annual and lifetime limits, and without arbitrary drops in coverage. Most importantly, this reform will offer the 2.5 million uninsured New Yorkers real health care options."
"Throughout the health care debate, I strongly advocated for a reform package that addressed these concerns, while also protecting the State from incurring added costs. This package achieves those goals, protecting New Yorkers and our State's fiscal integrity. I urge the U.S. Senate to affirm this historic vote, pass this final legislation and submit it for the President's signature without delay."

Houston Launches Innovative Partnership To Expand Access To The FC2 Female Condom
HOUSTON, March 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Female Health Company (FHC) (Nasdaq: FHCO) is teaming up with state and local health departments and local community-based organizations to provide Houston women with access to the FC2 Female Condom®, the only female-initiated method to prevent both sexually transmitted infections (including HIV/AIDS) and unintended pregnancy that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
FC2 will be introduced on March 10 at a series of events at clinics, hospitals, community-based health centers, and college campuses. The events, timed to coincide with National Women and Girls' HIV/ AIDS Awareness Day, will provide participants with free FC2 Female Condoms as well as education on their use.
FC2 will also be available for purchase at select Walgreens locations in the Houston area. The cost of a pack of three FC2 Female Condoms ranges between $5.99 and $7.99. Walgreens stocks FC2 in more than 600 stores nationwide.
Since 1999, as reported by AIDS Foundation Houston and Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, 6,519 new HIV infections have been diagnosed among youth under the age of 30 in Houston, including 922 teenagers. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to report that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is taking an increasing toll on women and girls. Women of color, particularly black women, are disproportionately impacted by the disease; they comprise both the majority of new HIV and AIDS cases among women, and the majority of women living with the disease."Each year we reach over 50,000 Houstonians through our education and outreach programs," said Nike Lukan, Director of Prevention Services for AIDS Foundation Houston. "To be able to talk about and offer FC2 as an option to further prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS is an added benefit to our constituents." Each of the 17 separate organizations hosting FC2 Female Condom launch events on March 10 has trained its participating representatives on how to educate its constituents on the use the FC2 female condom. Partners include the Texas Department of State Health Services, the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, AIDS Foundation Houston, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, YWCA Houston, and a number of local colleges and universities. One event will include the introduction of a new "Status Red" lip gloss developed by LAMIK Beauty, a Houston-based cosmetics company, and the training of local hairstylists on how to engage their female clients with information on safer sex and the FC2 Female Condom. "We are very pleased that the FC2 Female Condom is now available in Houston," said Susan Rokes, HIV Program Director for Planned Parenthood. "This is a big step toward improving sexuality education and promoting reproductive health care." FC2 is currently the only FDA-approved prevention method that can be initiated and controlled by women. When used correctly and consistently, FC2 can prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, and unintended pregnancy. The FC2 Female Condom provides an alternative to either unprotected sex or to male condom usage.

Two elderly ladies meet at the market after not seeing each other for some time. One asked how the other's husband was doing. "Oh! Rodger died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped dead right there in the vegetable patch."
"Oh dear, I'm sorry," replied her friend, "What did you do?"
"Opened a can of peas instead."

Off-site monitoring for the Mighty Oak nuclear test
Off-site monitoring for the Mighty Oak nuclear test After a nuclear explosives test, code name Mighty Oak, the tunnel leading to the test point became contaminated with radioactive debris. To re-enter and recover valuable equipment and data, the DOE purged the tunnel air using particulate and charcoal filters to minimize discharge of radioactivity to the atmosphere. During this purging, the EPA established special air samples supplementing their routine air monitoring networks. Analysis of the collected samples for radioactive noble gases and for gamma-emitting radionuclides indicated that only low levels of xenon-133 were released in amounts detectable in populated areas near the Nevada Test Site. The maximum dose to an individual was calculated to be 0.36 microrem, assuming that person remained in the open field at the measurement site during the whole period of the purging.

Have you ever had one of those days where your hair is just a frizzy mess? The days sometimes turn into weeks… then by the time you realize it a whole month has flown by. I recently tried out the Living Proof
Frizz line. I generally have frizz free hair, but recently in FL there has been a ton of storms rolling through and my frizz level was peaking! This line really helped get that under control!
This line has an ingredient in it that helps shield your hair from humidity, which is the biggest cause of frizzy hair. Another thing that is great about this line is that it is sulfate-free. So many people right now are trying to be more conscious of the ingredients in their beauty products and I am so glad that brands such as Living Proof are stepping up to the plate and giving the people what they are demanding!
The Shampoo builds into a nice lather and rinses clean without a lot of work. The Conditioner feels very rich and leaves my hair feeling hydrated and easy to comb through. The thing I hate most after washing my hair is knots… I have a thick head of fine hair and it breaks and snaps easily. I am also prone to split ends (probably due to thin strands) and when my hair feels silky and moisturized I never snag my comb on a knot. The conditioner is definitely one I can see as a staple in my shower.
The Living Proof
Frizz Weightless Styling Spray is definitely my favorite product from the line. I spritz it into my hair after I shampoo and condition; it adds a 3rd layer of protection to the hair and it helps make my hair controllable. Controllable not just in the sense of frizz, but actually allowing me to dictate what I want to do with my hair. I have a hard time holding a curl and I have been using this on the days I want to use my conical wand and I can see a difference in the longevity of the curls.
This line is made to be used in conjunction with each other. If you are using the Weightless Styling Spray you may want to consider using the Shampoo and Conditioner with it and vice versa. If you get the chance, definitely check this out.
Another thing… kids are going back to school right now and there is nothing worse in your middle school or high school years than a bad hair day. Help your kids keep the frizz at bay with Living Proof Frizz! Have you ever tried anything from this brand? What did you try and what did you think of it? Let me know in the comments below.

Take the Football Tipping Challenge today!
West Midlands Regional Football League
Wolverhampton Casuals FC
Location Wolverhampton
Nicknames Cassies
Founded 1899
Ground Brinsford Stadium, Brinsford Lane
Chairman Barry Austin
Treasurer Denise Barrow
Secretary Mick Green
The very earliest records show that the club began as Wolverhampton Old Church F.C. based in the Fighting Cocks, Penn area. In 1914 the club changed its name to Wolverhampton Amateurs and played at Langley Road and BeckMinster playing fields. 1946 saw the club merge with the Old Wulfrunians club to form a gentlemen?s sporting club to provide a whole range of sporting teams. The club?s name was once again changed to Staffordshire Casuals and although the liaison with the Old Wulfs was short lived, the Staffordshire Casuals continued as a football team and established a new base at Bantock Park.
The early 50?s side was very successful with two prolific goal scorers in Don Bayliss and Charlie Thomas. By the mid 50s the Staffordshire Casuals were the most successful team in the Birmingham AFA League winning the league three years in succession and cup winners in a number of competitions. During the late 50s the Casuals moved to Aldersley Stadium and also spent a short time at Codsall playing fields, before purchasing their current home at Brinsford Lane, Coven Heath. Another era of tremendous success coincided with the move to the club?s own ground, in 1981/1982 the club was elected to the West Midlands League, Division 2. Staffordshire Casuals were retained for the three teams playing in the Birmingham AFA League, but the first team had to be renamed as Wolverhampton Casuals FC.
After a period of six years in the Premier Division the club had to return to Division 1 because our Brinsford Lane ground did not have floodlights. In the 1994/1995 season the Casuals won the Division 1 title with a record number of points. To ensure the team were promoted back to the Premier Division the club returned to Aldersley Stadium for a short period. Two years on, the floodlights were erected and the Casuals were back at Brinsford Lane in 1998/99 season. After winning the Staffs Vase in 1997/98 and runners-up in 1998/99 the club once again were very successful as they approached their centenary year. Since then the club?s greatest achievement came in 2000/01 with victory in the Walsall Senior Cup. Apart from that one season, the Casuals have performed well in the Premier Division since their return. Neil Jones as a prolific goalscorer for the club in this period which kept the Casuals in a high position.

Oklahoma father in adoption dispute refuses extradition
The father of a Cherokee Indian girl at the center of an adoption dispute has turned himself in to authorities but refused extradition to South Carolina.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart says Dusten Brown turned himself in about 10 a.m. and appeared before a judge but refused extradition without a governor's warrant.
Brown was charged over the weekend with custodial interference after failing to appear at a court-ordered meeting in South Carolina.
A couple there has been trying to adopt 3-year-old Veronica. She is with her paternal grandparents and Dusten Brown's wife.
The Indian Child Welfare Act favors a Native American child living with his or her extended family or other tribal members over non-Native Americans, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the law does not apply in this case.

Their captain has made no secret of the fact that this is the format of the game he prefers. Now that they'll be playing a tournament that is not forced on them, and that they can compete in, they would be hoping for a better show than the last time, where they failed to make the semi-finals. Strengths: They have some very talented players in the team. They have the power hitting of Chris Gayle, the smoothness of Sarwan and the reliability of Chanderpaul while batting, and the raw pace and aggression of Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor while bowling. They will also be carrying a lesser weight of expectation than the other major teams, and thus be under comparatively lesser pressure. The Twenty20 format also plays to their strengths, since of late, they have been better in short bursts than for sustained durations of play. And in Twenty20, one short burst of excellence is mostly what is required. Weaknesses: Ever since they have slipped from the highs of the Lloyd and Richards eras, they have never been the most consistent of teams. Their up-and-down form makes it impossible to execute, or indeed even perhaps make, long-term plans. Apart from their opening bowlers, they lack depth in the bowling, and opposing batsmen can look at at least 4-6 hittable overs. When you take into account the fact that this represents 20 to 30 percent of the overs, it is a huge liability to carry. Their batting also revolves only around the three established stalwarts, and no young batsman has made a strong enough case for himself. Opportunities: For a team going through the rebuilding phase, Twenty20 is the perfect platform to find one's feet. For inspiration they can look at India's success last year with a team that comprised of many newcomers. With that triumph, Indian cricket was launched forwards towards much greater strength in all three formats of the game. If the West Indians can come close to repeating that, it would go a long way towards reviving the game in the Carribbean Isles, and with the natural talent and athleticism they possess, it would set the Windies on the road to redemption. Threats: They have looked listless while playing England, a series they were forced into by their board, when clearly all those who had IPL contracts would have preferred playing there. That is a dangerous quality to acquire, because once you get into the laissez-faire mode, it is very easy to continue down that path, and very tough to get out of the rut. Their captain also couldn't have contributed to a healthy dressing room with his irresponsible comments and a happy dressing room is essential to success. X Factor: Fidel Edwards, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo Fidel Edwards had a great initial run in the IPL, and showed just how effective an out-and-out fast bowler can be in the short format. With batsmen being robbed of the luxury of an over or two to settle down - which they can afford in ODIs - Edwards becomes all the more dangerous, since he is not easy to pick immediately. And most batsmen find that by the time they get used to his pace and action, he's nearing the end of his quota of overs. Therefore they take chances before getting fully set, and that is where Edwards slinging yorkers could come in handy. Gayle has found some form in the warm-up matches, and if he is at the top of his game, he can single-handedly take the West Indians to victory. Bravo, meanwhile has benefitted from his IPL stint, and impressed with his all-round ability. Quotable Quotes: "It was brilliant at the Champions Trophy in 2004 (which West Indies won). We're a good one-day team and we think we can beat any team we come across" - Chris Gayle The Squad: Chris Gayle (c), Denesh Ramdin, Lionel Baker, Sulieman Benn, David Bernard, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Andre Fletcher, Xavier Marshall, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons, Jerome Taylor

Sequence on the Feast of Corpus Christi and throughout the octave. It was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1227-1274). About 20 translations are in existence. The one given in Britt is by Monsignor Henry; the tenth verse reads:When at last the Bread is broken,
Doubt not what the Lord hath spoken:
In each part the same love token,
The same Christ, our hearts adore:
For no power the Thing divideth -
'Tis the symbols He provideth,
While the Saviour still abideth
Undiminished as before.New Catholic Dictionary

The Dodgers shut out the visiting Cincinnati Reds, 1-0, on an 11th-inning solo home run by Yasiel Puig.
The Dodgers struck out a franchise-high 20 times and had only five hits in the game. But they won three of four games against the Reds and increased their lead in the National League West standings to 2 ½ games over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Affiliated Event: Remembering the Raisin: Slavery Freedom, and the War of 1812 (July 12, 2014)
Conference Sponsorship Opportunities
The theme for this year's conference is "I Resolved Never to Be Conquered": Women and the Underground Railroad. This sentiment penned by freedom seeker Harriet Jacobs, shows her determination, "though one of God's most powerless creatures," to retain control over herself and her body despite her enslaved status. The conference's focus on women recognizes NTF program's new organizational link with the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Monument, and will explore that while Tubman has been the dominant image of women and the Underground Railroad, her involvement is part of a larger story of women's participation in the movement, as freedom seekers and as operatives.
The five-day conference in Downtown Detroit will include renowned speakers, panel discussions, an exhibit hall, and tours of local museums and historic sites. There will also be a tour to Canada on Sunday, July 20th. So be sure to have your passports or enhanced driver's licenses ready!
