Bag gardening couldn’t be easier! Simply set out purchased bags of topsoil, cut them open, and plant seeds and seedlings right into the topsoil. The bag garden in this plan will be brimming with more than 20 vegetables and culinary herbs by its third year!
If your yard has at least a 20-by-28-foot space that gets full or almost full sun, you can grow enough vegetables to have fresh food all season with surprisingly little effort. Go ahead and dig beds if you’re lucky enough to have naturally fertile, well-drained soil, but don’t let soil flaws stop you from starting a food garden. Instead, use this quick and simple bag gardening technique. This method is almost too easy to believe, but it absolutely works! Gardening in bags of topsoil lets you get a garden going today, and offers these additional benefits:
- In the course of a season, the topsoil bags will smother the grass underneath them, so you won’t have to dig up and remove the grass sod.
- The bags eliminate aggravation from seedling-killing cutworms, which are caterpillars commonly found in soil where lawn grass has been growing.
- Bag gardens have few (if any) weeds, because bagged soils and planting mixes are pasteurized to kill weed seeds.
- You can eventually gather up the plastic bags and dig their contents into permanent beds, or just lay down a new batch of bags.
What Can I Grow?
Whether you dig right in or start with bags, you can’t go wrong with the following selection of 25 easy-to-grow crops. In addition to plenty of fresh veggies to put on the table and to store, this garden plan will also produce a year’s supply of several tasty herbs, which will attract droves of pollinators and other beneficial insects.
If you’re new to food gardening, your biggest challenge may be planting crops at the right times. A food garden should be planted in phases, so that every crop gets the type of weather it prefers. The following season-by-season instructions for our easy food garden show how seasonal planting sequences work. You’ll also get a few labor-saving tips — such as letting pole beans twine up tall sunflowers.
- Prepare your site. You can dig beds in the traditional way, or you can plant most of this garden in bags. If you’re using bags, you will need about 25 40-pound bags to cover the five main beds. See Bed 3 for guidance on how to arrange the bags when starting your garden. Definitely dig the squash bed and the circular bed, mixing in a 2-inch layer of good compost as you work.
- Use a utility knife to cut out a large, rectangular window on the upper surface of each bag. Leave the sides and 2 inches of each top edge intact, resembling a picture frame. The 2-inch rim of plastic will keep the soil from spilling and help retain moisture. Lightly dust the surface of the soil inside the bags with organic fertilizer and mix it in with a trowel. (Skip this if the bag’s label says fertilizer has been added.) Stab each bag through at least a dozen times with a screwdriver or a big knife to create plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. Plant roots will use these holes to grow down into the soil below the bags.
- Plant onions, beets and early lettuce. About four weeks before your last frost, plant onion seedlings in Bed 1. (To find the average last spring frost for your location, see Know When to Plant What: Find Your Average Last Spring Frost Date.) Water well to settle the soil around the roots. Sow beet seeds half-an-inch deep and 2 inches apart. Sow some early lettuce in Bed 3.
- Plant potatoes and peas. Set potatoes 2 inches deep and 12 inches apart in Bed 2, flanked by double rows of bush snap or snow peas. These short, bushy varieties don’t need a trellis if grown closely together, although poking a few sticks into the row between the plants helps keep them off the ground.
- Plant greens and herbs. Plant lettuce, dill, cilantro and chard seeds in Bed 6. Plant chard the same way you planted beets. Set out potted perennial herbs (oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme) in Beds 3 and 6. Make a second sowing of lettuce and cilantro one week before your last frost.
- Mulch, mulch, mulch. About three weeks after your beds have been planted, thin seedlings to correct spacing (check seed packets) and hoe or pull weeds. Mulch the garden with grass clippings, hay or shredded leaves.
- Plant tomatoes and more. When the soil feels warm to your bare feet, set out tomatoes and peppers in Bed 5 and basil in Bed 6. Plant bush beans in Bed 3, and sow sunflowers in Bed 4. One week later, plant pole beans inside the edge of the circular bed (Bed 4).
- Set up the squash bed. In Bed 7, use a spade or shovel to make six or seven planting holes arranged in a zigzag pattern. Place a large shovelful of compost and a handful of organic fertilizer in each hole, then mix in thoroughly. Plant three squash seeds or one seedling in each prepared planting spot. Thin seedlings to one per planting hole.
Use a row cover to protect your squash from insect pests. To do so, push the ends of wire hoops into the ground to form three evenly spaced arches over the squash. Unfold or unroll the row cover and drape it over the arches. Secure the edges of the cover by burying them, or secure them with boards, bricks or stones. Open the cover only to weed and thin, then close it right away. One week after the first blooms appear, remove the cover entirely to allow insects to pollinate the flowers.
- Plant kale. Start kale seeds indoors or in a nursery bed, and set them out when space becomes available in Bed 3. Sow arugula. Move the row cover tunnel from the squash to your baby kale.
- Plant fall greens. Replace spring beets and onions in Bed 1 with mizuna, red mustard or other Asian greens, and replace potatoes and peas in Bed 2 with lettuce in front of a turnip backdrop. Replace spring lettuce and cilantro in Bed 6 with carrots.
- Plant a cover crop. After you have collected the winter squash harvest from Bed 7, you can improve the soil by growing a cover crop of bush beans, mustard, oats or peas.
Plant garlic. Clean up the tomato bed, dump out the bags, and amend the soil with fresh compost and a dusting of organic fertilizer. Mix soil thoroughly with a spade or digging fork, and plant garlic cloves 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. After planting, cover with at least 2 inches of mulch.
Choosing the Right Bags of ‘Soil’
Many garden centers sell a dizzying array of bagged soil mixes and soil amendments, so choosing one can be confusing. To make the task even more difficult, there are no strict standards that define what qualiﬁes as “compost” or “shrub planting mix.” The best way to know what you’re getting is to look beyond the label and examine what’s inside the bag. Some garden centers set aside broken bags of topsoil so customers can examine their contents, or you can buy a sample bag to check out before you buy more.
For most soil-building purposes, a mixture that looks and feels ﬂuffy and has plenty of tidbits of decomposed leaves or wood chips offers more organic matter than a heavier mixture that includes mostly gritty soil. Light-textured composts are usually the best choice for digging into soil as a long-lasting source of organic matter, but for the fast bag beds in this garden plan, look for products that do include some gritty soil. Plant roots prefer a mixture of soil and organic matter to organic matter alone. A bag of such soil will feel heavier than one that’s mostly organic matter, assuming both are equally wet or dry. Ordinary bagged “topsoil” or inexpensive “tree and shrub planting mix” will do quite nicely in any spot where you want to set up a new veggie bed quickly.
Every garden needs a place to make compost from vegetable trimmings, weeds, and pulled plants. If you place your compost in a spot where you’re planning to add a new bed in the future, earthworms and other compost creatures will kick-start the soil improvement process. Enclosed composters made from recycled plastic work like garden garbage cans by keeping rotting debris out of sight. Most models are animal-resistant, making them a great choice for urban or suburban yards. You could also make compost in a small pen made from a circle of fencing. Both types of compost enclosures are easy to move as your garden expands.


After the cold nights in Orange we expected warmer weather as we went west but a chilly wind reminded us that spring was in its very early stages. It was wonderful to be back in Trangie, after nearly 30 years away. With my kids I lived (and worked) there in the 70s, which seems like a lifetime ago. Trangie is a farming community, growing cotton, sheep and beef cattle, wheat and barley. Jen and I stayed with our friends Jenny and Neil, on their property "Inglewood", out of the Trangie township.
Jen, Neil & Jenny, and myself.
Looking from the garden across to the paddocks.
Old cattle race at Inglewood.
On Sunday we all went to the Mungery Picnic Races - a race meeting on a real country race track. The track is in the middle of a huge paddock, and the punters and onlookers gathered under shelters which protected us from the sun but did nothing to keep the wind at bay. Each group of people set up an amazing array of food for lunch, an example of true country hospitality.
And they're racing...
That's our tent with the Australian flag proudly flying. And another look -
So now we are in Mudgee, very different terrain, and here along with the grain crops and livestock, there are excellent vineyards. Jen and I visited Lowe Wines where we tasted wonderful wines and heard about the ground breaking organic wines they produce. www.lowewine.com.au
Acres and acres of vineyards as far as the eye can see.
Masses of wisteria cover the vineyard fences and pergolas. This white wisteria was stunning.
My tasting glasses! Of course we bought some wine...
Back into town we visited The Brewery for lunch and beer tasting. I was ready for a rest after this! The food was marvellous and the beer excellent.
I'm not much of a beer drinker but these were all really nice and I did buy some Porter which The Brewery served with dark chocolate.
These copper brewing tanks were just beautiful, and someone must work pretty hard at keeping them looking so sparkling.
Tomorrow morning we'll be on our way home to Wamberal for me and Gloucester for Jen. This has been a wonderful trip and my heartfelt thanks go to Jen for her unfailing sense of humour, great company and all the hours of driving.

||Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics in Post Resettlment Areas Using Cellular Automata Model: The Case of Gubalafto Wereda, Ethiopia
||GIS, Remote Sensing, Land use land cover, Modeling, MCE, Resettlement:
||Land is becoming a scarce resource due to immense agricultural and demographic pressure. In this study the land use land cover dynamics and modelling in post- resettlement areas of Gubalfto wereda have been under taken. The study aims to examine and assess if resettlement has brought any change in the land use land cover in the area and to predict the future land use land cover changes using cellular automata model. The result of the work shows a reduction by 2% in settlement and by 4% in agriculture between 1973 and 1986.While the periods between 1986 and 2005 shows an increase in agriculture by 62.5% and settlement by 46%. The trend and rate by which land use land cover has changed also shows that there are reduction in agriculture and settlement between 1973 and 1986 by 2.6km2 and 1.5km2 per year, respectively. This was because of the 1984/85 resettlement program large number of people leaves their settlement and agricultural land. Whereas, between 1986 and 2005 agriculture and 22settlement increased by 3.29km and 2.4km per year than the other classes. This change is because the settlers returned to their origin after resettlement program has passed. Therefore, agriculture and settlements are the main drivers of land use land cover change, which are in turn direct consequences of population growth. It was also observed that the predicted land use classes by 2020 may likely follow the same trend as that of 1986/2005, which means there is an increase in agriculture by 23.5% and settlement by 92% from 2005 but the forest coverage increase by 146%. The rate of change in 2020 will be increased in agriculture and settlement by 5.4km2 and by 5km2 per year and bush land will decrease by 10km per year. Hence, resettlement has a direct relation with land use land cover change and dynamics.

The Douglas family were early cattle industry pioneers in Queensland’s
south-west. Descendants are now spread across the region and well
beyond. The home of Jock and Mina Douglas and their four daughters
Sally, Lee, Eve and Trisha is the property ”Wyoming”.
The property is situated in the heart of the fertile Mt Abundance
district (named by explorer Major Mitchell in May 1846 and described
in his diary as the “the finest grazing lands in its natural
state I have ever seen”). The business is a cattle, grass
seed and emerging horticultural production enterprise.
When Jock Douglas moved with his family to “Wyoming” in 1975 he noted the large clumps of wild desert lime trees which
fruited generously. The Douglas family had long recognised the
wonderful flavour of this native fruit and handed down recipes
for refreshing drinks, sauces, pickles and jams. Jock and Mina
began by picking for their own use then harvesting and marketing
the fruit to wholesalers and processors as a demand emerged.
To provide certainty of supply through variable seasons a trickle irrigation plantation was begun in 1997, now with over 11,000 trees established. These
have been grown from cuttings taken from selected high yielding
trees identified in the years of wild harvesting.
The approach has been to involve the whole family in this new initiative.
The long term business plan includes each family member having
responsibility for the various facets of the limes enterprise.
This includes on-property fruit production, picking, packing and
storage; development of value-added product lines; and marketing.
Thus, a local native plant has provided the catalyst for a new
business enterprise and to engage a family in an innovative joint


U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack discussed efforts to improve rural Colorado’s economy at the Senate Agriculture Committee’s first hearing this year.
Bennet, who requested a seat on the Agriculture Committee because of the tremendous importance of agriculture and rural communities to Colorado, asked Vilsack for his view on steps the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) can take to help boost Colorado’s rural economy. Vilsack addressed the declining population in rural communities and highlighted the need to expand access to broadband in rural communities, take advantage of the new energy economy, develop local supply chains, maximize conservation resources, create verifiable and credible ecosystem markets, and expand access to credit and attract venture capital in rural areas.
Vilsack said, “I think the things that we can…are to continue to expand access to broadband, so that farmers and ranchers have access to real time information and make real time decisions; small businesses can expand their markets from local and regional markets to global markets; schools can do a better job of offering a multitude of course selections that they might not otherwise be able to afford to provide; and health care centers can link with specialists that would be impossible for them to afford on a day-to-day basis.”


The Ghost Pepper Store started when we first read about the Bhut Jolokia and its record breaking, mouth burning heat. After seeing the reactions people had from eating this pepper we knew that we had to experience it for ourselves. Now that we have mastered the growing process of this very challenging plant we want to bring it to the masses. If you are interested in the one of a kind challenge of eating this pepper or the interesting and difficult journey involved in growing it, then this is the place for you!
Eating the ghost pepper is not something that everyone is going to enjoy. We recommend eating a ghost pepper fresh and unadulterated, but do so at your own risk. Please do not use our products as a practical joke against friends or loved ones. This pepper is beyond hot and it should not be forced upon the unsuspecting.
Growing this plant takes special care and is not recommended for the novice gardener. The main thing to remember when buying seeds is that this plant comes from a region with a very long growing season. This plant needs to grow for 150-180 days before you will see any fruit. Because the native region of this plant is warm and humid, we recommend a similar growing climate. Humidity will make a huge impact on the heat of the fruits, the more humidity the hotter the fruit. Low humidity can reduce the peppers heat by 50%. Read our FAQ's for more information on growing, or contact us with specific questions and we will do our best to help you out.
The Ghost Pepper Store is located near St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis is known for its high humidity through the growing season, which means our peppers are CRAZY hot!

Sustaining fermentation in high-gravity ethanol production by feeding yeast to a temperature-profiled multifeed simultaneous saccharification and
This is the reason why the typical mash saccharification rest temperature is in a range of 152° F to 154° F; it provides a good temperature compromise for both alpha amylase and beta amylase to carry out their required starch and sugar conversion processes. This saccharification was also lower than the 0,73 % saccharification obtained from office paper during degradation at optimum temperature.Brown envelope (figure 4) was optimally degraded at an incubation temperature of 55 0 C that was 10 0 C higher than the maximum degradation of office paper (figure 2) and nonsimilar to the wide optimum range During the saccharification process, both pullulanase addition time and temperature adjustment greatly impacted the final maltose yield. These results indicated that an appropriate β ‐amylolysis in the first stage (the first 8 h) was required to facilitate saccharification process, with the maltose yield of 8.46% greater than that of the temperature with time during saccharification for different batches. During saccharification, the temperature has to remain constant because the enzymes act best at a temperature of 60˚C. However, due to process fluctuation, it ranged from 58˚C to 62˚C, which is a narrow range.
The beer saccharification temperature process has great phase lag, and the technology for brewage needs its control track the set point curve fast without overshoot.

The resultant supernatants following centrifugation (2500 g, 15 min) were assayed for total reducing sugars using DNS method (Miller, 1959). The release of sugar is expressed as equivalent to glucose.

In the SSCF or, generally, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) setups, the temperature is a compromise between the optimal temperatures for the hydrolytic enzymes (45–50 °C for Cellic CTec2, Novozymes) and the fermenting microorganism (around 30 °C for S. cerevisiae) . Reed is a widespread-growing, inexpensive, and readily available lignocellulosic material source in northeast China. The objective of this study is to evaluate the liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment efficiency of reed based on the enzymatic digestibility and ethanol fermentability of water-insoluble solids (WISs) from reed after the LHW pretreatment.
This saccharification was also lower than the 0,73 % saccharification obtained from office paper during degradation at optimum temperature.Brown envelope (figure 4) was optimally degraded at an incubation temperature of 55 0 C that was 10 0 C higher than the maximum degradation of office paper (figure 2) and nonsimilar to the wide optimum range
Application: Add at temperatures below 70 °C (158°F) at saccharification for complete saccharification or in the fermenter. For processes using Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation, add directly to fermenter. For pre-saccharification, add to cooling mash or liquefied starch when temperature reaches 60 – 65°C (140 – 149°F). During the saccharification process of starch, the temperature is controlled within the range of 58 ° C to 60 ° C, and the pH is controlled within the range of 5.8 to 6.0 to ensure that the saccharification enzyme exerts the best catalytic action.

EFFECTS OF VARIABILITY IN DURATION AND DELAY OF REINFORCEMENT ON FOOD-RESPONDING IN RATSMonday, March 3
2:30 to 4:00
Understanding the variables that maintain reinforcer effectiveness has important implications for basic research to inform applied behavior analysis.The goal of the current study was to investigate the combined effects of rate of reinforcement and variability in duration and delay on within-session changes in operant responding in two experiments.In each experiment, Wistar rats lever pressed for liquid sucrose on three fixed interval (FI) schedules of reinforcement.In Experiment 1, subjects lever pressed for liquid sucrose by either a constant or varied duration of access to reinforcement. In Experiment 2, subjects were exposed to a constant or variable delay of reinforcement.Each experiment was a 2 (Condition: constant or variable reinforcement) X 3 (Rate of reinforcement: FI 8-s, 16-s, and 32-s) X 12 (2.5 min interval) counterbalanced design.Results showed two fundamental properties of behavior undergoing habituation: stimulus rate and variety effects.First, within-session decreases in responding were steeper (greater habituation) at higher rates (e.g., FI 8-s) than lower rates (e.g., FI 32-s).Second, within-session rates of responding declined slower (slower habituation) when access to the reinforcer was presented in a variable versus constant manner.Because habituation occurs for both ingestive and noningestive stimuli, the present study adds to the body of literature on habituation and can inform clinical practice on the variables that sustain operant behavior through varying the delivery of the reinforcer.

Title: Seasonal accumulation of anthocyanin pigmentation is too late to protect photosynthesis or nitrogen resorption in three widespread high-latitude plants
Abstract: While red-senescing plants are common in arctic, boreal and alpine regions, the adaptive advantage of the anthocyanin pigments in senescing leaves is disputed. I investigated three competing hypotheses: foliar anthocyanin protects photosynthesis by screening excess light; it aids nitrogen resorption, as an antioxidant for toxic photosynthetic catabolites; or it is repressed by nitrogen, accumulating and persisting after nitrogen resorption is complete but serving no protective role. I studied Arctous alpina, Chamerion angustifolium and Cornus canadensis. Anthocyanin concentrations were estimated by color indices using spectral reflectance data and pixel data from digital scanner images of leaves. To examine protection of photosynthesis, I measured carbon dioxide assimilation in senescing leaves. Photosynthetic rates declined steeply as anthocyanin concentrations increased. To see if anthocyanin aided resorption, I compared the timing of nitrogen loss and anthocyanin accumulation through a season. Anthocyanin concentrations peaked and persisted after nitrogen resorption. Nitrogen and anthocyanin concentrations were negatively correlated (-0.831), providing no support to the resorption protection hypothesis. The adaptive advantage offered by anthocyanin in senescing leaves in these species, if any, does not appear to be protection of photosynthesis or nitrogen resorption, because it occurs after the two processes are essentially complete, as the nitrogen repression hypothesis predicts. Because of this timing, red leaf pigmentation in senescence is a useful phenological marker for the end of nitrogen remobilization.

One of my favorite things about summer is fresh produce. There's nothing better than fresh vegetables from the Farmer's Market. A simple tomato sandwich is a fantastic summer lunch.
On the back of my new Summer 2010 Lilly Pulitzer catalog, I found the following:
"Did you know? If you are not sure where to buy tasty, local products, consider signing up for a CSA which stands for community supported agriculture. You can essentially buy a membership with a participating farmer in exchange for seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season."
If you live in the DC/MD/VA area, I highly recommend The Big White Barn Produce. I introduced this farm to you last week. Their variety is amazing and the produce is so delicious.
As a special treat for Maryland Pink and Green readers, The Big White Barn is offering an incredible giveaway! One lucky winner who leaves a comment on the link provided will win a CSA for the 2010 season. That's 22 weeks of fresh produce! The winner can pick up the subscription at any farmer's market where Big White Barn is found or directly from them at the farm. Sunday is the last day to enter this giveaway. The contest ends at midnight and the winner will be announced on Monday. You can leave your comment to enter with this link.

A by-product of cecal starch digestion is lactic acid that can give rise to digestive upsets, colic, laminitis, and founder. My animals eat wheat-free as it is, because even very minimal contact with wheat for me spells disaster. There should be no problem with grazing horses on green wheat plants, and horses really like them once they acquire a taste for them. What horses eat can seriously affect their health. Wheat berries are the entire edible part of wheat kernels: the germ, the bran and the endosperm. Rhodes grass Rhodes grass. Wheatgrass is packed with a powerful combination of nutrients that make it extremely useful to your health. Clover can be a desirable feed source for most horses whether used in pasture or in hay because it provides useful energy and acceptable protein and fiber. 10.Grain In general, grains are poor sources of fibre. Oats are an amorphous starch, the most easily digestible of all the grains. When corn is fed, there is increased risk of cecal acidosis resulting in laminitis, founder, diarrhea, and colic as compared to when oats are fed. It is a thick, dry grass that looks like hay or straw but is bright green. “The cattle love it. As a general rule of good feeding practice, Wheat Germ Oil should be introduced gradually. Another thing to consider is that horses can kill off some of the plants that are best for them in their pasture. Most animals don’t like the taste and the texture is gummy when chewed. Cut in the boot to very early head emergence growth stage, it can have a high nutrient content. Other forages are listed below the second chart. Approximately 98% of starch from oat grain is absorbed in the small intestine as compared to 70% of the starch from corn. Horses at maintenance usually have more than adequate amounts of vitamins in their diet if they are receiving fresh green forage and/or premixed rations.

The items that did grow, quickly overgrew the boxes. Squash, cucumbers, green beans and watermelon are quite resilient.
While all I got was a bit of green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and and squash, I feel as though I understand where I went wrong I am optimistic a about the 2021 growing season.


Tegallalang terrace farms in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
Sweeping downhill in our homepage image are the famous rice terraces of Tegallalang, one of Bali's most popular tourist attractions. They are carved into the side of a valley near the town of Ubud and use the traditional Subak irrigation system, which dates back to the 9th century. Bali's rivers and streams provide year-round water for its crops but here people work hand-in-hand with nature, and a network of irrigation channels distribute water to each paddy field. They carefully tend rice plants during the growing season, as generations have done before them, before harvesting and distributing the rice between the community. The Subak system is so important in Balinese culture, it has been recognised by UNESCO. These terraces offer visitors panoramic views over the surrounding rice fields and lush landscape, as well as a picturesque example of people living in harmony with nature.


Well I think the sunflowers are well and truly finished. I should have written this a while ago when they looked more like this:
Through ways that are too convoluted to bother detailing, I’ve got access to part of an allotment at the moment. Have done for a couple of months, but didn’t get around to writing about it here. Needless to say, someone was struggling to keep their allotment up to the standards of the rest of the members (because a whole allotment plot is absolutely enormous), and had to do something about it – so they’ve kind-of sublet it.
This is good, because this year, I decided to plant far more than would actually fit into my garden. I had runner beans, sunflowers and sweetcorn growing in pots, with absolutely nowhere to put them. Then suddenly, I did. Continue reading The allotment
We all know that bees are good for your garden. However, I’ve always been a bit scared of them. I once had one fly into my ear. I stupidly covered my ear, got a noisy buzz, removed my hand, and the bee flew out.
Incredibly, I’ve never been stung by one, yet I’ll still jump a mile if it flies right at me.
A few months back, at the Bristol Festival of Nature, I went along and saw Brigit Strawbridge (wife of the man with the tremendous moustache, and well-known green advocate) do a presentation about bees, their lives, why their numbers are dwindling, why necto..neonecto..nectoninnoids?..nectin….why pesticides are bad. From this presentation, I learnt that only one of the many types of bees has the ability to produce the right frequency and pollinate tomato plants (maybe I’m lacking that bee, and THAT’s the reason why my tomato plant failed! (A bad workman blames his bees)).
Especially after discovering that lots of species of bees don’t even have the ability to sting, I started looking forward to seeing them in my garden. I’ve noticed they tend to gravitate more towards some plants than others, and so I thought I’d document the top 6 bee-favourite ones, and show them here, in the order that they flowered this year.
Complete fail, really.
Plant purchased: 24th May 2011 (from B&Q).
This is what it looked like when I bought it:
And…well…there’s no completed date, because it’s been a big failure. Today’s date is the 1st of September, and this is what it looks like now:
We’ve done peas and potatoes (there are still more peas now ready for picking, by the way). Now, carrots.

VIKING lawn tractors are characterised by driving pleasure, performance and numerous comfort features. VIKING has now expanded its range with four new side discharge mowers. With the new T4 Series models, the side discharge distributes the grass clippings evenly over the lawn, where it remains deposited to fertilise the lawn. The clippings do not have to be disposed of, which saves time. Amateur gardeners can select a suitable lawn tractor from four available versions.
With a lawn tractor, large lawns can be mowed comfortably while seated. A great deal of clippings is produced, which is first collected in a large grass catcher box and then lands on the compost. However, a suitable place for allowing this organic waste to decompose is not available in all gardens. With the VIKING T4 Series lawn tractors, gardeners no longer need to worry about this problem.
All the T4 Series machines are equipped with a side discharge. This distributes the clippings evenly across the lawn. The clippings can remain on the lawn where they undergo an optimal decomposition process. This saves time during mowing and provides the soil with just the right nutrients which have been depleted through plant growth. Side discharge mowers are also ideally suited for higher grass. The T4 Series lawn tractors can thus be used flexibly on lawns of any size. Because they do not require a grass catcher box, they are particularly compact. They have a turning radius of only 70 centimetres. The lawn tractors also negotiate any terrain with ease thanks to their large, lawn-protecting treaded tyres.
The right model for everyone
The T4 Series comprises a total of four models. Individual equipment features ensure that all users will find a suitable machine to cover their needs. Distinguishing features of the lawn tractor models are their cutting widths (95 and 110 centimetres), power and tyre size. The power is provided by robust one- or two-cylinder Briggs & Stratton engines with displacements between 344 and 656 cubic centimetres (for the most powerful lawn tractor). An integrated engine cooling system supplies the engine with fresh air and protects it from overheating.
Intelligent ergonomics for pleasant working
In terms of comfort, sophisticated technology and driving pleasure, VIKING has once again set a high standard. A great deal of value was placed on comfortable working. This is immediately obvious from the comfortable seat. The low step and ample legroom are pleasant and ergonomically favourable. The tool-free adjustable sprung loaded seat and the sporty steering wheel shape complete the ergonomic advantages. All the controls are easily accessible so that the driver always has a good overview.
The forward/reverse drive switching developed by VIKING is reminiscent of driving an automatic car: Simply push the lever to the left of the steering wheel forwards and press the drive pedal with your right foot and the lawn tractor begins to move forwards. For reversing, just pull the lever at the steering wheel rearwards. A hydrostatic gearbox allows the speed to be infinitely adjusted.
Simple manual operation
The spring-loaded cutting height adjustment with 7 settings from 3.5 to 9 centimetres can be easily operated from the driver's seat.
When the blade unit is not in use, for example when driving from the garage to the lawn, the electromagnetic blade clutch stops mowing operation safely and conveniently at the push of a button.
The sturdy, resilient frame construction of the VIKING lawn tractors is ideally suited for the attachment of e.g. a tilting trailer, snow plough or garden roller. These and further useful equipment options are available in the comprehensive accessory range for the VIKING lawn tractors. The optional mulching kits, with which the side discharge tractors can be converted into mulching mowers are particularly practical. All the T4 Series lawn tractors are equipped with a trailer coupling as standard.


Plant UV Protection
Scientists at the University of Malaga have identified a group of natural molecules in plants that act as natural sunscreens to protect against UV-B radiation, which can damage DNA and hamper growth. This protection is provided by the plant cuticle and comes from a suite of natural plant chemicals called phenolics.
UVB is the medium-wavelength radiation from sunlight, with wavelengths between 280-315 nm. This type of radiation accounts for about 10% of the total solar UV radiation that reaches Earth’s surface. It is the most common form of UV radiation that affects plants.
Depending on the species and experimental set-up, UVB exposure can have different effects on plant physiology. For example, it can increase the accumulation of secondary phenolic compounds such as quercetin and cyanidin in guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) and urad beans (Vigna mungo L). However, the use of UV blocking covering materials can reduce the accumulation of these compounds.
Exposure to UVB can also have positive effects on the plant’s defense against biotic agents. The interaction between ambient UVB and abiotic stress factors can trigger the formation of soluble proteins in the leaves that can protect the plant against pests and viral diseases. In particular, a recent study showed that high levels of ambient UVB can induce resistance to rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae by stimulating the expression of the HY5 gene.
The shortest UVC wavelengths are also the most dangerous. They penetrate the skin and cause damage to chromosomes. Fortunately, most of the UVC that reaches Earth is absorbed by the ozone layer. However, artificial UVC can still be used to kill bacteria and viruses. This type of UV is also known as germicidal UV.
The most effective UV treatments include those that increase stomatal opening and photosynthesis. They can also stimulate the production of secondary plant compounds, such as anthocyanins and total phenolics. However, they must be delivered in a controlled manner to prevent burning of leaves and to avoid affecting the plant’s physiology.
Studies of the effects of greenhouse covering materials on the agronomic performance of crops usually have pests and viral diseases as their primary objectives, but these materials have a range of other benefits, too. For example, they can increase crop yields and improve the quality of harvested produce. One study found that strawberries had a higher color, size, and weight when exposed to UVB. Another study found that lettuce plants had better shape and biomass production when exposed to UVB.
UVA is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between 10-400 nanometers and is also known as UV light. It is one of the most common types of radiation that reach the Earth and can be found in sunlight, but it is less harmful than UVB and UVC.
In contrast to the detrimental effects of UV-B and UV-C on microorganisms, UVA has a positive impact on them by upregulating certain specialized metabolites. These metabolites can help plants fight off pathogens and herbivores.
Many studies have shown that UVA increases the production of plant hormones such as salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). These hormones are involved in defense responses against biotrophic pathogens and herbivory. They also improve the vigor of the plant and increase its growth rate. In addition, UVA can also stimulate the production of resin in a plant, which is essential for its quality and potency. This can have a huge impact on the final product.
Plants sense UVB and respond to it by deploying antioxidant defenses, increasing photosynthesis rates, and accumulating “sunscreen” flavonoids. Mutant screens have identified several factors that participate in the UV-B response, including the HY5 gene and the UVR8 monomer. UVR8 binds to COP1 and RUP2 in plants that are acclimated to high UV-B. This binding reduces the permeability of the photosynthetic membrane and prevents oxidative stress in plant cells.
Phenylpropanoids, such as kaempferol-3,7-dirhamnoside from Achillea biebersteinii15 and Achillea millefolium16 and caffeic acid, epigallocatechin, epicatechin, and rosmarinic acid from Dalloa hebecarpa17 and Plectranthus ecklonii Benth18, also have anti-UV properties. These compounds can reduce oxidative damage and decrease penetration of UV radiation into the palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues.
Many studies have found that the use of UV blocking materials has a positive effect on crop physiology and productivity, but other factors need to be taken into account as well. For example, a study conducted in the UK showed that the use of UV-blocking films reduced the amount of phenolics and anthocyanins in red lettuce crops.

Here is a quick video showing how we harvest our microgreens with a butcher knife. I have read blogs and watched videos that tell growers they need to spend hundreds of dollars on a knife to harvest your greens this way…….I say “No Way!”
Most microgreen farmers are running a bootstrapped business and don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on a fancy chef knife. This is not necessary! Below is a link to the knife I use from Amazon and I will also post a video showing how to sharpen this knife with the sharpener I use.
Anyhow, I hope this video illustrates how I harvest microgreens and is helpful for your farm. Done right, you will not need to wash or rinse your greens before giving them to your customers which should save you hours harvesting that should be more money in your pocket! Please feel free to comment and let me know what else you all would like to see or hear about!
