AFRICAN FARMING & OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to be the best in the world in micro hydro electric and water resource management: by evolving innovative damless hydroelectric and water transfer technology. We create Today’s Tall Tree Nurseries to support Micro Finance for women farmers and their families using the Carbon Tax Fund, a new form of foreign aid. We export Mechanization for more productive African Farming.
Big problems arising from increased crop production in African farming include tremendous erosion and the depletion of natural vegetation. Marginal land is particularly vulnerable. The results are all too evident: perennial streams are now ephemeral, and massive quantities of topsoil silt up dams and flow into the oceans. The region is doomed to more frequent famines that will be the consequence of diminishing cropland, grazing and water resources.
A total of 340 million ha of woody vegetation in dryland zones of Africa have become degraded through human activities like; overgrazing, agricultural expansion, overexploitation, and deforestation. Both of Africa’s staple crops, maize and sorghum, are expected to be badly hit by increasing severity of weather. Demand from growing populations may double food prices.
The absence of investments in African farming means that farms remain small; the added value of agricultural processing is negligible or absent. With the number of water-scarce countries set to rise over the next ten years, more needs to be done.
Africans need to turn their mind to boosting economic growth, which has ground to a pace slower than population growth. Without greater opportunities, the frustrations of the young and uneducated will only worsen.
Investments in small-scale hydroelectric technologies and irrigation could yield a direct net benefit of up to $200 billion to Africa’s 100 million farmers.
The Energy policy of 2003 of Tanzania show that 1% of population in rural Tanzania has access to electricity. The rest approximately 98% use firewood which also implies alarming rate of environmental destruction.
All It Takes Is 3
The United Nations uses three key variables as average measure of human development in any country:
- a decent standard of living (food);
- a long and healthy life (health); and
- being knowledgeable (knowledge).
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
- Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime…
- But why does the man have no fish?
- Not just through charitable funds, but we engender a genuine partnership with the oppressed.
- We develop Leadership Skills.
- Carbon Tax Funds will make a difference not just for the life of one person, but to an entire global community.


Local Food Solutions
Join authors Ali Berlow, Alan Guebert, and Gracie Foxwell, alongside local farmers for a discussion of how we can all engage with the food we eat. We will discuss practical approaches and common challenges to eating sustainably and present tangible things we all can do to improve our food system.
About The Food Activist Handbook:
Small steps can create big changes in your community’s food quality and food security, helping to get more healthy food to more people and support a better food system. Ali Berlow shows you dozens of things that anyone can do, from creating a neighborhood kitchen for preserving fresh food to mapping farmland, connecting food pantries with food producers, starting a school garden, and organizing a community composting initiative. Every action you take can help keep farmers on the land and family farms intact, keep money in the local economy, reduce the carbon footprint associated with food transportation, and preserve local landscapes. If you’ve had enough of E. coli scares, disappearing farmland, pesticide problems, and hunger in your community, this inspiring book will show you exactly how one person really can make a difference.
About The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey:
"The river was in God's hands, the cows in ours." So passed the days on Indian Farm, a dairy operation on 720 acres of rich Illinois bottomland. In the memoir The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey, Alan Guebert and his daughter Mary Grace Foxwell recall Guebert's years on the land working as part of that all-consuming collaborative effort known as the family farm. Here are Guebert's tireless parents, measuring the year not in months but in seasons for sewing, haying, and doing the books; Jackie the farmhand, needing ninety minutes to do sixty minutes' work and cussing the entire time; "Hoard the Dairyman," sore fingers wrapped in electrician's tape, sharing wine and the prettiest Christmas tree ever; and the unflappable Uncle Honey, spreading mayhem via mistreated machinery, flipped wagons, and the careless union of diesel fuel and fire. Guebert's heartfelt and humorous reminiscences depict the hard labor and simple pleasures to be found in ennobling work, and show that in life, as in farming, Uncle Honey had it right with his succinct philosophy for overcoming adversity: "the secret's not to stop."
Ali Berlow is the author of The Food Activist Handbook and The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse, the co-owner of Edible Vineyard, and has been writing professionally for over 10 years. She got her start in 2002 with the NPR essay series "A Cook’s Notebook". Nine years ago Berlow founded Island Grown Initiative, a grassrooots nonprofit on Martha’s Vineyard. Under her leadership and vision, Island Grown Initiative launched many of the types of projects and ventures described in this book. She lives in West Tisbury, Massachusetts, and in Putney, Vermont.
Alan Guebert & Mary Grace Foxwell
Alan Guebert was raised on an 720-acre, 100-cow southern Illinois dairy farm. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1980, he was a writer and senior editor at Professional Farmers of America and Successful Farming magazine as well as a contributing editor to Farm Journal magazine. He began his weekly syndicated column The Farm and Food File in 1993 and it now appears in 70 newspapers throughout the United States and Canada. Alan and his wife, Catherine, live in central Illinois.


Fiddleheads are the edible tender shoots of the ostrich fern, found throughout the Northeast U.S. but especially common in Maine. They fall into the same category as fresh peas, morels, squash blossoms, and other seasonal delicacies – they’re here for only a few fleeting weeks, then they’re gone for another year. In Massachusetts, fiddleheads are around mostly during the month of May, sometimes in late April depending on the weather.
In its mature state, the ostrich fern grows several feet tall and is easily identified by its tall, broad fronds and lacy leaves. They grow in partially shaded areas along the banks of streams, brooks, and other moist environments. In their immature state, fiddleheads poke out of the ground looking like a tight coil waiting be unfurled. They resemble canes that are anywhere from several inches to 2 feet tall with a tight coil at the top. That’s where the name ‘fiddlehead’ comes from – it resembles the headstock of a violin. Generally it’s only the top few inches of the plant that gets harvested. They taste mildly of asparagus.
If you’re lucky enough to live in an area where fiddleheads grow and you can confidently identify them, go ahead and pick them – you’ll save yourself a bundle. On a recent visit to the store I saw them selling for $20 a pound. A good guide to fiddlehead identification can be found here.
Be sure to clean off the papery brown flakes covering the frond before cooking them. Simply rinse under cold water and wipe away the flakes with your fingers. Due to chemicals produced by the plant, fiddleheads that are raw or undercooked can create gastric distress, so they need to be cooked all the way through. My method is a very simple preparation: Boil for 3 or 4 minutes, then sauté in butter with garlic and a touch of salt until they are softened and begin to brown. They need nothing more than that.
The fiddleheads in this picture I took came from Russo’s in Watertown, MA – my favorite place to go shopping.
A picture of what fiddleheads look like in their natural state can be found here.
Now go get yourself some fiddleheads and start cooking!
- 1 pound fiddleheads, rinsed
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the fiddleheads and boil for 4 minutes. Drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the fiddleheads and sauté with the garlic until the fiddleheads begin to brown slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and serve.


In the early 1980s I used to live in a council flat in the Hightown area of Salford. It was 9 floors up with a spectacular view across to the TV transmitter on Winter Hill which meant excellent TV reception. Although it had no outside balcony, it had an enormous living-room window, which was so wide that it was difficult to get curtains to fit. I used to grow all sorts of things in front of this window including a large selection of pot plants and in summer, garden annuals. These are schizanthus, known as the Poor Man's Orchid, cornflower and nigella or love-in-a-mist.
While living in this flat I also grew the only carrots I have ever been successful with. They were a small round variety called "Kundulus". They were much too high for the carrot fly to attack. It flies very near to the ground, all the better to lay its eggs in one's carrots. Every other time I have tried to grow carrots in open ground they have either been riddled with carrot fly grubs or vanished without a trace at the seedling stage.

Grazing for Long-term Resilience and Sustainable Profit
Wednesday 18th October, 2017
Corfe Village Hall, Newton Lane, Corfe, Somerset TA3 7AN
This is a unique opportunity to dip your toes into the world of Holistic Management and Planned Grazing, and explore it's potential to enhance farming/land management practice.
The day is suitable for farmers, advisors, and land managers, as well as those with a more general interest who are also concerned about issues such as animal health and welfare and how we can transition to more environmentally regenerative approaches to food production, how farming practices impact climate change and how we can work with nature to create more resilient landscapes e.g. addressing the issues of flooding (and soil loss), and drought - and enhance biodiversity. We are very grateful to Duncan and Sally for hosting the farm walk element of the day at their farm (see here).
Optimising Soil Management for Agricultural Productivity and Ecology (6 BASIS points; 1LP, 2E, 1GM, 2N)
with Joel Williams
Monday 6th November, 9am-5pm

This event is a comprehensive full day presentation, suitable for both commercial farmers (including but not restricted to organic producers) and those concerned with home/community production.


Several northeast Georgia counties are now considered in some stage of drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM), and the prospects of any significant rainfall for the next several days are slim.
This week’s USDM map shows “abnormally” dry conditions in all or parts of Rabun, Habersham, Union, Towns, Dawson, Forsyth, Gilmer and Fannin counties. The number of counties impacted in northwest Georgia (see map) also increased. Click here to view the map: Georgia | U.S. Drought Monitor (unl.edu)
As for the prospects for rain, the National Weather Service (NWS) says we can expect nothing but sunny skies through at least next Wednesday. And much cooler weather over the weekend, with the region’s first temperatures in the 30s and 40s both Saturday and Sunday nights. Daytime highs both those days will be in the low- to-mid 60s before rebounding to the 70s to start the work week.


The Belize citrus industry dated as far back as 1913. The first processing plant was established in 1948 in Pomona Village, Stann Creek. Later, a second processing plant was established in Alta Vista Village, Stann Creek. The processing segment has now been consolidated with a redefined focus – with ownership shared by both the Citrus Growers Association (Belize) and the Banks Holdings Ltd (Barbados). With years of relentless efforts, CPBL continues to grow and prosper with pride in the “Land of the Free” – Belize!


deSILVA'S says: a fabulous accompaniment to cheese and a great alternative to chutney.
Quinta do Freixo is located in a special corner of the Algarve, where an unusually cool breeze blows through the heat of the day. The land is very fertile and they still work with traditional artisanal methods across their 1100 hectares.
Tomatoes grow in abundance in Portugal – they are one of their main crops, after wheat, olives and grapes. Too many just to use in salads and to cook with, so the industrious Portuguese set about using them to make jam. And it is delicious.

|Distance Programming for Teaching Crop Genetic Engineering
Don Lee and Steve Baenziger
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
This proposal creates modules that will teach two components of the crop
genetic engineer process. Each component has unique features to the
application of biotechnology to crop improvement.
- Transformation Techniques for Crop Plants:
The objectives of this module are to allow learners to: 1) understand key
methods used to introduce genes into plants (particle gun, whiskers, and
agrobacterium methods); 2) visualize the gene insertion events at the
molecular level, 3) predict the genetic implications of specific insertion
events, and 4) appreciate the random nature of these events that lead to
the introduction of important new traits in crop plants. Animation will
help learners visualize the molecular and cellular events and "over the
shoulder" video clips will give the student the feeling for the laboratory
environment where the work is performed.
- Backcross Breeding:
The objectives of this module are to help learners: 1) understand the
benefits and limitations in using the backcross breeding method to
incorporate a single gene into a genetically elite background, 2) know
the steps involved and terminology associated with the backcross breeding
method, 3) explain the basis for phenotypic variability observed among
the parents and progeny at each backcrossing cycle, 4) visualize at the
chromosome and gene level the genetic changes expected in plants as
backcrossing proceeds and 5) propose the application of protein and DNA
detection technology to enhance the backcrossing method. Video clips will
take students out in the field and show them the methods and plants.
Animations will emphasize the time demands of the process and the chromosome
and gene-level changes that take place.


|The measures for young farmers in the new Pac are not sufficient believes the Italian Presidency. The Commission is working with the European Bank investment to find new financing.
The new European Commissioner for Agriculture, Phil Hogan, announced the establishment of a working group to examine the ways in which European Investment Bank (BEI) could help the young farmers. This working group made of delegates from the BEI and Directorate General Agriculture should propose in January 2015 measures such as favorable loans and bank guarantees to encourage young farmers to invest in the sector.
The Italian Presidency of the EU presented a statementinsisting that the new instruments of the CAP to promote the installation of young farmers – premium of 25% direct payments for three years, rural development programs and consulting services – were not sufficient to attract young people, while more than 5 million of them are unemployed in the rural areas across the EU. A statement supported by Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Greece and Slovakia. Italy advocated including exceptions to the rules on state aid for the purchase of agricultural land and an Erasmus-like program that would allow young farmers to share their knowledge.
The agriculture ministers of the EU should have an exchange of views on the issue at the last Council of Ministers of Agriculture under the Italian Presidency on 15 December.


We are excited to announce that we have a new website!
Please visit https://indianafarmmarket.org to learn about the 2021 market season and beyond.
This time of year is bittersweet. With just 5 Wednesday Evening Markets remaining, we are looking back on what may be called the most unique market season of our lifetimes. As the seasons change, produce availability changes too. We have always wrapped up the Wednesday Evening market a few weeks before the Saturday Market closes for the season to reflect our farmers' availability.
The final Wednesday Evening Market will take place on Wednesday October 7th, and the Saturday Markets will continue through Saturday October 31st.
We hope you enjoy the convenience of the mid-week market and look forward to seeing you over the next several Wednesdays for your weekday shopping!


Strawberries have for ages sweetened tons of bellies, one of the most popular fruits, it goes without saying that it brings in a lot of cash. Keying into the lucrative side, Bupe Chipili Mulapesi, Founder of “Farm23 Strawberry,” Zambia spends her days growing and supplying a good quality variety of strawberry seedlings.
She looks towards partnering with other smaller agents locally to take it to the international market.
A recipient of the Anakazi Banking Zambian Women of the Year Agriculture Award, Bupe started Farm23 years ago growing organic fresh strawberry fruits with just 20 plants, today it has amazingly grown to a large plantation of 40,000 strawberry plants. She ventured into value addition by producing a Strawberry Fruit Jam Puree.
Bupe Chipili Mulapesi also operates an out-grower scheme which enables her to empower other farmers and farmer groups as well as broaden the sale scale. Through the platform, she mentors and trains them on how to grow organic strawberries, and the members sell their fruit to Farm23.
She has trained and is working with young men and women from her community. The majority of her staff are women, to enable her to fulfill her mission to empower women.
Inspired to start strawberry farming by a female strawberry farmer based in Australia, she decided to launch ahead after witnessing the level of hard work of some women farmers in Zambia as well as all around Africa, in particular Kenya where they have commercialized strawberry farming on a large scale.

Plants need a lot of water for the growth and heath, the need increases in summer due to a hot temperature which is why you need to pay special attention to watering your plants.
Create a combo:
Your yard will look more appealing if a combination of a flower bed and vegetables can be seen. It will provide a great appearance to it at the same time, you will be able to consume healthy food. You can select the colors of the flowers in accordance with the vegetables to create a soothing color scheme.
Separate some time for mowing:
It is important to properly mow the grass in your yard as it will give a complete look to it. Moreover, it is also essential to maintain the life of your plants. However, there are some important things that should be considered when it comes to mowing, it is best not to cut more than one-third of the height.
These are the tips that can be followed to prepare your yard for this summer season. However, you can also include your own creativity by adding up a fence that is decorated according to your taste or setting up a good yard furniture.

CHICAGO, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) futures settled mixed on Monday with soybeans rebounding amid bargain buying after three consecutive days of sharp decline.
The most active soybean contract for July delivery rose 3 cents, or 0.33 percent, to settle at 9.085 dollars per bushel. July corn went down 5.25 cents, or 1.45 percent to close at 3.56 dollars per bushel. July wheat was down 9.5 cents, or 1.90 percent to settle at 4.90 dollars per bushel.
CBOT soybeans suffered significant losses in the past three sessions in a row over concerns about trade tensions. When the prices tested the 9 dollar per bushel level, bargain hunting investors came in and reversed the downturn.
Thanks to dry weather conditions in the past week, said market observers, U.S. winter wheat growers in the southern plains have sped up their crop harvest, which further dragged down the prices.
Corn futures also posted sharp losses in its fourth consecutive session of decline.
CBOT floor brokers reported that funds on Monday sold 3,000 contracts of wheat, 7,000 contracts of corn, and 900 contracts of soybeans. Enditem


Indiscriminate Antibiotics Use Harms
Scientists warn that antibiotic use in agriculture can harm your health.
Exclusive to American Free Press
By James P. Tucker Jr.
Antibiotic use in agriculture contributes to increasing antibiotic resistance in bacteria carried by humans, according to a panel of scientific experts.
In a new report published the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, the panel called for immediate action by government and the agriculture industry to reduce the human health risks.
Antibiotics use for growth promotion should end, the panel said.
Regulatory agencies should provide for a rapid review of alternatives to antibiotics and, where possible, changes in management, use of probiotics such as acidophilous to stimulate healthy bacteria in the intestines and vaccines should be encouraged, it said.
The study, sponsored by the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics, is the first to provide a detailed review of both the environmental and human health impacts of antibiotic use on the farm. A multidisciplinary panel of national scientific experts met over an 18-month period and assessed 500 published studies.
“Based on the panel’s extensive evaluation of the evidence, we have found that the use of antibiotics in food animals is contributing to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance in human infections and must be addressed on an urgent basis,” said Sherwood Gorbach, M.D., co-chairman of the committee.
Low doses of antibiotics are fed to large numbers of food animals over a long period of time. Resistant bacteria can pass through animal waste to other animals, into the production environment and, in some instances, into waterways and other nearby ecosystems, the report said.
Current efforts are helpful but more must be done, the panel said. It recommended stopping over-the-counter sales of certain antibiotics in agriculture and requiring a veterinary prescription when antibiotics are to be administered to food animals.
“There is a critical need for more timely action to ensure that antibiotics remain effective,” said Stuart Levy, M.D., president of the alliance. “Once the resistance in a bacterial population reaches a certain level, reversal becomes extremely difficult.”

You may or may not have noticed the work being done in what we affectionately call “The Back 40,” but over the last few weeks there have been some changes to the acreage under the power lines along Oak Avenue Parkway. First, a hole was dug by a couple of our students to find a water line. Then, a local contractor company graded the area (for free!). One of the elders installed water lines, and a crew of local gardeners helped get the area ready for its new purpose: a Community Garden. This garden has been in the works since last fall, and I am so excited that, through the efforts of so many volunteers (both Oak Hillians and local neighbors), it is finally a reality.
One of the reasons I am so excited about this project is the tangible way that it opens up Oak Hills’ resources to the community. We have had those empty acres for years, and although dreams for their use have come and gone (notice that it is still not a disc golf course), the desire to use that land to serve our neighbors has stayed with us. Encouraging the church to go beyond our walls and serve in places like Powerhouse, Twin Lakes Food Bank, PlayMakers, and Theodore Judah Elementary School are wonderful things, but that goes hand in hand with using our own resources to serve the community.
The Community Garden is just one of the wonderful ways that we can do this. People from the surrounding neighborhoods have responded to fliers that were posted, and are incredibly excited about having a place to grow vegetables and be in community. One woman told me that she has been looking for an opportunity like this for years. The long wait list is evidence of just how much our neighbors want to be a part of this experiment. We are welcoming our own neighbors in ways that they desire, and using what God has given us to bless them. It is so beautiful to be a part of this experience.
One of my favorite moments so far was the official launch last Saturday, May 9. It was great to see the gardeners all gathered together, bringing new perspectives, thoughts, and talents to the garden. It reminded me all over again that this project wouldn’t have been possible without the community: from the support of the rest of the staff, to the people who posted the signs, to the students who helped me dig, to the contracting company that graded the area for free, to the woman in the church who heard the announcement and went out immediately to Costco and bought tools and soil, to the woman who donated all of her tools when she moved. Our church and our community came together to make this garden a reality, and I have high hopes that we will continue to come together to support one another and our neighbors.
One tangible way this will happen is through the Twin Lakes Food Bank plot—gardeners will help grow vegetables on one plot that will be donated to the food bank. Even though they have their own garden, Tammy Thompson reports that they always quickly run out of produce. Our efforts won’t solve that all on their own, but we will help make a difference for hungry families through our own passions.
I look forward to see how, over time and through new relationships, conversations in and about the garden will open new doors to love and serve our neighbors. I am so grateful for everyone who has been involved so far, and I can’t wait to see what will blossom in the future. And please, whenever you are nearby, come check out our new garden!


A 6 lb box that includes Ground, Sausage, Roast, Rack and/or Chops from Tablas Creek, as well as a Larder Spice & Recipe. A note from the winery: One of the goals of Tablas Creek has from the start been to farm organically, both to best express our terroir in our wines and to be the best stewards of the land that we can be. From the moment the Haas and Perrin families purchased the 120 acre property in the Adelaide district of west Paso Robles, now well known as Tablas Creek Vineyard, the vision was clear: to create world class Rhone style wines that are exceptional and unique because of where they are grown. One of the driving factors of this goal has from the start been to farm organically, both to best express our terroir in our wines and to be the best stewards of the land that we can be, to leave the estate in fine shape for the future generations of Haas, Perrin and everyone else. Over time organic farming led us to investigate the mysteries and benefits of Biodynamics, a holistic philosophy that encourages, among other things, fostering biodiversity within your farm. Back in 2012, we purchased 8 Dorper ewes and a Katahdin Ram named Gordy. To protect our precious new charges from coyote and other predators we acquired Fiona the guardian donkey, and eventually added a second donkey (Dottie) and a llama named Carmel. The flock they guard has grown each year, and is currently at 75. In the winter, the sheep work the vineyard rows eating weeds and cover crops, saving tractor time and the fuel that goes with it. Equally important is the fertilizer that the flock produces, lots of it! Once buds have sprouted in the spring, the flock is moved to the areas of the property not under vine, where they clean the dry grasses and woodland under-story, helping to abate fire hazard and keep the property clean. Beyond all of these valuable things we did not anticipate the power of a group of animals to make our guests and ourselves smile and feel happy. Simple pleasures. We move the sheep every two weeks throughout the year, spreading their influence around the property and minimizing overgrazing. When their food gets scarce as we move toward fall, we supplement it with cover crop that we harvested and dried the previous winter. As you might well imagine sheep raised in such surroundings yield delicious meat, our own Dorper/Katahdin cross, raised organically in beautiful west Paso Robles as a part of a diverse vineyard ecosystem.

When it comes to gardening, the seasons can have a major impact to how well you can look after your plants. In the UK, some have a list of the things they should do each season. If you know what to expect during each season, you can make the most of the weather and make your garden look as beautiful as possible.
June, especially, is a great month for gardening as the UK receives plenty of sunlight and not too much rain. It is the time of the year when you can do a lot to keep your garden look its best. To get you started, here are some things you can do this June:
Upgrade Your Drainage and Irrigation System
The month of June is the perfect time to consider upgrading your drainage system. You do not want to encounter flooding problems when it is the rainy season already. Experts in landscaping Kent gardeners trust say it is best to make your irrigation system as efficient as possible. You can save on water costs and grow your plants better.
Keep an Eye for Pests
Slugs, snails, caterpillars, and aphids are the last thing you want to see in your garden. They live on young plants and can ruin the health of your plants and flowers. You can use pet and nature-friendly slug killers or allow birds to help you catch snails. Consult experts on caterpillar and aphid infestation if things go out of hand.
Prepare the Fertilisers
You might want to start preparing your fertiliser come June. It is when you can plant perennials, annuals, and flowering trees and shrubs. Choose fertilisers that have slow-release plant food like iron and nitrogen. These are ideal for maximum growth and development.
Move Houseplants Outdoors
If you have houseplants, you can move them outside to make the most of the sunlight. Look for a bigger pot if you need to re-pot them.
Gardening is labour of love all year round. But when you know just what to do each season or every month, you can grow a beautiful garden and reap all its benefits.

Wetherell Ranch proudly supports 4H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) in promoting and teaching agriculture to the local youth. These groups use our heifers at both Dairy Shows and the Del Norte County Fair. The ranch also hosts the 4H Swine Club where meetings are held and members have the opportunity to develop their showmanship skills.
Richard Wetherell serves as the chairman of the Del Norte County Resource Conservation District. This non-profit organization helps the local agricultural community with environmental conservation projects ranging from soil and pasture sampling to large environmental restoration projects for elk or waterfowl habitats.
Between mid-February and mid-April, the ranch opens to the community for scheduled ranch tours. We believe in the importance of understanding where food comes from and being able to experience it firsthand is a great way to achieve this.


Permaculture Berms & Swales
It's time for a new, very important project here on the Tiny Shiny Homestead! Berms and Swales will help us protect our property from flooding, wind, and fire while providing a way to catch, store, and divert water.
Because we live in the desert of SE Arizona where water tables are dropping and wells are a poor investment, we're turning to permaculture inspired designs to catch rainwater not only off of roofs, but with the ground on our property as well.
Berms and Swales are ancient techniques making a big comeback, showing us the way forward to create a sustainable, beautiful oasis in the desert that perfectly blends with the natural topography of the land.
These work by creating depressed trenches or swales on contour with your land that catch flowing water, as well as mounds or berms on the opposite side that can be planted with trees and grasses.
By planting native trees along our berms we can create fire and wind breaks, privacy screens, food forests, and even mulch and firewood over time. Their roots fortify the berms, and allow us to catch, store, and most importantly divert water during heavy monsoons to safe areas on the property.
This means we're creating more organic matter which leads to the soil storing more water which leads to sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gases. Plus the concentration of trees leads to increased diversity of animals and habitats which creates a symbiotic relationship with the land.
So yeah, berms and swales can be pretty awesome, and we’re excited to start this process.
Permaculture Plans - Our Big Dreams of Greening the Desert
If you’ve watched our Permaculture Plans video, you know we’ve already been working with Rudy Poe planning our entire property, and he’s used topo maps and sheet flow calculations to help us plan where our berms should go.
This article and the following videos will be focusing on the berm and swale installations on our property, so let's get started!
Step 1 - Planning & Marking the Main Berm & Swale
Today we’re focusing on the main berm and swale that cuts right though the middle of our 6 acre parcel and will help us determine our final house placement.
Rudy’s going to help us mark this important berm and swale, make sure we’re on contour, and fine tune our plans as we start implementing on the actual property.
Step 2 - Excavating the Main Berm & Swale
After marking where our berm and swale should go, it was time to bring in the heavy machinery! Let's take you through each step of the dig, and show you the process.
Step 3 - It's NOT WORKING Right? Half of the Swale Isn't Catching Water
The next step in our berm and swale project is to bring Rudy back to help us figure out why the North half of the swale isn't catching any water. We check contour and do some detective work further up past our fence.
Step 4 - CHIPPING OUR OWN MULCH in the Desert?
Before we can seed our berms and slopes, we need mulch to lay down to help prevent wind and water erosion as well as retaining moisture. But we live in the desert! Mulch is very hard to come by so we invested in a small wood chipper to make our own.
Champion Chipper Shredder
Step 5 - WE BOUGHT SOME TREES!
What an exiting day, friends! We head to Parkland Tree Farm and buy the remaining 65 trees for our berm and swale. Can you believe it? We're so close!
Step 6 - TREE PLANTING PARTY- Community Helps Plant Berm & Swale
Such a huge day for our homestead! Our local community volunteered to help us smooth the berm and swale, lay the grass seed cover crop, and plant our trees, and work on various other digging projects. We could not have done this without them!
Step 7 - WHAT'S LEFT? Cleanup Work on the Berm & Swale Project
The berm and swale wasn't finished yet! After our big planting party we still had more trees to plant, secure, and mulch around. We also fortified our culvert area with rocks from our wash.
Step 8 - DRIP IRRIGATION? Yes, please! Berm & Swale Project
The last major final step in our berm and swale project was to run and connect drip irrigation to all our trees. This was important to save us not only time, but water as well since we're limited to how much we can haul in.
Step 9 - THEY MADE IT HAPPEN! Tree Sponsor & Donor Thanks for the Berm & Swale
Our berm and swale project would not have been possible without the support of our Tiny Shiny Tree Collective! These amazing folks sponsored trees and donated to help us realize our dream of greening the desert. Today we show you the process of sending them tiny instant photos and donating the trees we couldn't plant to those in our community.
Full Project Build
Don't have time to watch all 9 videos? Here's a 1.5hr recap of the whole thing from start to finish with additional thoughts seeing the swale in action after a month of monsoon rains.

The NRM’s contribution to the agricultural sector has generally led to improved household incomes; says NRM research and mobilization group-Team Thorough YKM.
According to its deputy national coordinator in charge of mobilization and field operations Ainesasi Hillary, Agriculture has for a long time been the core sector of the economy. He says the sector has provided basis for growth in other sectors and significantly contributing to GDP, employment and food security.
“The NRM’s contribution to the agricultural sector has generally led to improved household incomes and an increase in the sector’s contribution to the country’s annual GDP as a result of agricultural exports” he says.
He adds that 32% of households today practice commercial farming and that this has led to food security, improved nutrition, increased household incomes and exports to international markets. Citing an example of 1986, where the per capita consumption of milk was 16 litres per person per annum, this has now increased to 50 litres per person per capita per annum. As for the consumption of meat, initially it was 4.5 Kg per person per annum in 1986, but now it is 6.4Kg per person per annum.
Ainesasi says that in 2013, over 35,000 farmers directly benefited from provision of improved seeds and fertilizers. In addition, a total of 13,500kgs of Arabica coffee seeds, beans, maize and rice were distributed to seed companies and farmers groups.
“To enhance water supply for increased production, there has been rehabilitation of irrigation schemes such as Mobuku, Doho, Agoro and Olweny” he says, adding that another innovation of NRM in the agricultural sector was introduction of agriculture financing through commercial banks. Through this, government availed Shs60bn while the commercial bank allocated Shs90 billion bringing in a total of Shs150billion available for financing of agricultural projects at a concessionary interest rate of 10% per annum for a maximum period of 8 years.
He says other government intervention programmes such as Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF I & II), Peace Recovery and Development Programme (PRDP) and National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) and transformation of the people of Karamoja programme, have yielded commendable results for the population.
He says as a result of increased production in agriculture, a number of food processing factories have been established in the country, adding that because of Value addition; agriculture is beginning to attract the elite and big capital investments.
He attributed all these achievements to what he called result of good policies of NRM government under the leadership of President Yoweri Museveni.


Care4Growing - The Future Of Agricultural Sustainability
About the Client
Care4Growing is a ‘virtual assistant’ in the Agriculture/Horticulture industry that combines both existing and new services, such as managing growers’ cultivations, consulting market prices, or communicating with other growers, producers organisations and other service providers. This collaborative, multifunctional platform provides proactive support throughout the cultivation process for over 3,000 producers in Belgium.
Thanks to the digitisation of various processes and continuous data collection, Care4Growing ensures that every grower has a mobile tool that supports them in their daily tasks and makes their work all the more efficient.
Our client’s main mission was to create a network around and between crop growers. The idea was to make the cooperation between them better and easier, as well as to build a direct link between them and the service providers.
Outside of ensuring that the growers have the means to receive better support from the partners, Care4Growing focuses on developing a long-term strategy to protect food supplies. The challenge of the project was designing a robust platform with the core functionality of data collection, which gives the client the necessary insights to make sure the right improvements can be implemented in real-time and allows its users to network easily with each other.
With Salesforce Experience Cloud and Service Cloud, the Waeg team created a community that can be accessed either through a computer or a smartphone app and also acts as a smart assistant.
In a broad sense, the app helps growers by simplifying and improving their administration and organisation. The community acts as an ecosystem for growers and producer organisations to collaborate better and share knowledge, e.g. how to deal with pests and crop diseases, which crop treatments work best, what is the maximum volume etc. This gives the growers complex, daily support.
Thanks to Care4Growing, growers can reach out for advice on crops or for technical support, either from the app or the web browser. The producer organisations can support them via different channels of their choosing.
The app keeps prices and sales up to date in real-time in chosen segments, manages plots, follows up on harvests, plans treatments and fertilisation check samples, etc. It learns more and more every day which means it’s getting more helpful over time. The end goal for the app is to have 100 functions that will support growers in many different areas.
Growers are not the only ones supported by Care4Growing. Partner organisations also have access to data collected by growers to give them insights into market trends while simultaneously tracking crop data. Through monitoring a vast pool of centralised data, a lot can be learned. For instance, the evolution of diseases and plagues, or which crops will be in demand to help reduce food waste and balance supply. This allows to identify and take the necessary steps that will focus on food supply protection.
Data is key in order to keep up with the changes of the ever-evolving world, especially in the agricultural sector, which has tobear the brunt of the climate change effects that get more intense and drastic with each passing day.
The Salesforce platform helps farmers to grow better crops and to optimise their production process by extracting complex and correct data and by accessing a more adaptable growing model that is essential for the horticulture and agriculture industries of tomorrow.
Implemented solutions were a success, and currently, the community has more than 1000 active users that can share knowledge with each other daily, which gives all the needed support for growers.

Bees are a buzzin and trees are a bloomin!
On Tuesday, Katie and I drove across the Door County Peninsula—-15 miles on County F from the shores of Lake Michigan to the shores of Green Bay—-to Leutenbach’s Orchards in Fish Creek (www.orchardcountry.com). We took a tour of this 100 acre orchard—-80 acres of cherries (8K trees), 20 acres of apples, and the first grapes ever brought to Door County. Great research for my book. Of course we couldn’t pass up the wine tasting… or the cherry Chardonnay. Read More

"Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the deer’s; He makes me tread on my high places."
Interestingly the fig tree does not bear any flowers or show any signs that a harvest is coming, it looks dead and then it pops the leaves and then immediately the fruit... so while it may seem at times that what we are doing is not yielding, even though we might not be eating natural fruit we should still tend the soil because something is going on under there. And God in His wisdom knows what we need even before we ask, so keep rejoicing and tending to the spiritual work of believing Him more (more than what we see with our natural eyes) - because, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Enhanced thatch breakdown.
Over-seeding newer turf-grass varieties into an older lawn can help it better withstand insects, disease, drought, shady conditions and heavy traffic. The investment in over-seeding pays off by reducing the amount of fertilizer, water and pesticides required.
Most importantly, a renovated lawn stays greener and looks thicker and healthier.
Mowing and trimming is not just making the grass shorter. Mowing height, direction of cut, and the movement of the mower through the lawn are all factors in completing the perfect mow.

These excess glucose molecules are used to form the complex structures of plants, such as leaves, stems, branches and roots, as well as fruits, seeds, nuts or vegetables. Every year, trees use the leftover carbon molecules to add to themselves, increasing their mass (size). The genes, called PXY and CLE, control the growth of a tree trunk. When overexpressed, making them more active than in their normal state, trees grew twice as fast as normal and were taller, wider and had more leaves.
Therefore, the crown of a tree is that majestic system of leaves and branches that form when buds grow. Like roots and trunks, branches grow in length from growth cells that form the meristematic tissues found in growing shoots. The growth of this bud of branches and branches determines the shape, size and height of the crown of a tree. The central and terminal leader of the tree's crown grows from a cell of the bud called the apical meristem that determines the height of the tree.
If you're wondering what that tree is in your backyard, be sure to check out the tree identification guide here. Although a tree is common and familiar to all of us, the way a tree grows, it works, and its unique biology is not so familiar. Trees eventually deteriorate and die due to bark damaged by insects, pathogens and environmental damage. In addition to taking steps to help your trees grow faster, you can also choose trees that grow quickly in general.
The result is that the soil is able to resist erosion from wind and rain and becomes a firm platform for the tree itself. The height a tree will grow is partly dictated by its genes (you can pamper a pine cherry all you want, but it will never be as tall as a small black cherry). All woody trees have an outer bark that is constantly renewed and protects the tree from pest attacks and environmental impacts, such as fire and mechanical injury. Ensuring that the trees in your garden grow successfully depends on the hardiness zone of the plants you live in.
Most trees are capable of being taller than they actually are, they are only limited by deficiencies in light, water or nutrients. The root system of a tree comprises the important water harvesting mechanism that makes possible the life of trees and, ultimately, everything on the planet that depends on trees. Providing your trees with adequate amounts of water can make a significant difference in helping them reach their full size at maturity. Going through a local park or a well-maintained courtyard with the perfect tall tree could make anyone jealous.
So instead of fighting the physics of extracting hundreds of gallons of water from the ground through the complex (and really long) vasculature of the tree, they use a more practical source. The bud of the tree is simply a small bundle of growing tissue that develops into leaves, flowers and embryonic shoots and is essential for the growth of the crown and canopy of primary trees. Fertilizers contain varying amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and are like a multivitamin for trees.


Engineers at MIT are looking at ways to turn living plants into nanobionic sensors that can detect biological and environmental hazards and send a signal to alert farmers. One of them — a newly engineered spinach plant — can identify arsenic levels in soil more accurately than existing tools.
The technique uses inexpensive nanoparticles (50,000 times smaller than a human hair) embedded directly into the plants to act as sensors for a variety of chemicals, including hormones that are generated by the plant itself when it is stressed. Many of these compounds show up in the plant before the condition can be detected by visual inspection. The plants would be separated from food crops but placed in the same type of environment, and the nanoparticles can be programmed to generate a variety of electronic signals.
These new plants can also aid in developing new crop varieties by allowing researchers to directly measure what happens within the plants under changing climate conditions. They could even be turned into living light-emitters to illuminate areas that are off the grid.

عنوان: Sensitivity analysis of energy consumption of durum wheat production
حجم: 686 کیلوبایت
In this study, energy use pattern for durum wheat production in three provinces of Iran, (Khuzestan, Fars and Kerman) was analysed and compared. Data were obtained from 90 farmers using a face to face questionnaire based on random sampling method. Sensitivity analysis of durum wheat operations was carried out using the marginal physical productivity (MPP) technique and partial regression coefficients on output energy. The collected data belonged to the production period of 2012-2013 with the following results obtained. The energy use efficiency varied from 1.64 for Khuzestan to 2.08 for Fars provinces. The results revealed the main difference between the energy consumption in these provinces comes from electricity and chemical fertilizers. The econometric model evaluation showed that the impact of sowing operation in Khuzestan and Fars and impact of fertilization operation in Kerman was significantly positive on output energy. The sensitivity analysis of energy consumption indicated that among the significant operations, sowing and fertilization had the highest MPP values in Khuzestan, Fars and Kerman provinces, respectively. Using renewable energy sources for electricity production, irrigation scheduling, improving the efficiency of water use and using manure instead of chemical fertilizer are some practices to obtain more energy efficiency.
Key words: Durum wheat; Energy ratio; Irrigation; Marginal physical productivity; Sensitivity.


What’s the best part about the legalization of cannabis in Oregon? Obviously, that you can get it hand-delivered to your door! But what’s the second-best part about legalization? You can finally grow your own, without fear, in the comfort of your home, and then smoke the fruits of your labor! While the flower we carry is obviously top-notch and grown by some of the finest cultivars in the state, there’s nothing more satisfying than sprouting your own seeds, nurturing the plant as it grows, and harvesting your own flowers at the end of the season. And, if you grow indoors, you can plant and harvest year-round!
This won’t be a comprehensive guide to growing your own—there are enough books on the subject to fill a small library—but we do want to point you in the right direction by filling you in on the legality of growing in Oregon, the life-cycle of the cannabis plant, and some considerations for growing indoors versus outdoors. This guide will be chock-full of resources for further reading, so bookmark this page to act as a general reference throughout your grow.
Legal Guidelines for Growing Your Own Cannabis
The first question to answer is: is it legal for you to grow your own cannabis? With some minor caveats, the answer is yes! In Oregon, if you’re over 21, you can grow up to four plants per residence, so long as you own your own house. If you’re renting, you need to check with your landlord or housing authority to make sure they’re okay with you growing on their property. In either case, it’s important to keep your plants in a secured area where they can be kept away from public view, and federal law still prohibits cultivation within 1,000 feet of a “Drug Free” zone, like a school, although Oregon has some exemptions for home cultivation. As with any gray areas between local and federal laws, it’s better to play it safe and avoid doing anything that could land you in trouble with the police.
One more thing to note is that the four-plant limit applies to each residence, not to each adult living at that residence—so if you have three roommates, you can’t grow sixteen plants, your household is still limited to four. This is especially important to keep in mind when cloning (which is something we’ll get into later.)
The Life Cycle of the Cannabis Plant
Before you start to grow your own cannabis, it’s essential to know a bit about the cannabis plant life cycle. There are several stages of growth, each with their own necessary planning steps, and we’re going to cover all of them right now.
Seeds and Clones
If this is your first grow, you might want to buy clones directly from a cannabis retailer who carries a strain you already know you like. A “clone” is just a cutting from a mature cannabis plant, and it is genetically identical to its “mother,” making it easy to predict what you’re going to get. It’s the easiest way to get started with growing your own cannabis.
When it comes to seeds, you can buy “feminized” seeds that are bred to contain no male chromosomes (either by light stressing or with the addition of silver thiosulphate) or you can use your first grow to separate male from female plants, then grow cuttings from a mature female (also known as cloning) for the next crop. Only female plants produce the trichome-rich flowers we’re interested in as sophisticated cannabis connoisseurs.
While you might be able to just plant a seed in a pot of soil and hope for the best, not every seed is viable, and it’s better to germinate them first. “Germinating” a seed is just a fancy term for letting it sprout, and you can do this with a damp paper towel or a rooting cube. Seeds can take forty-eight hours to twelve days to germinate, depending on certain variables, but then you’ll be ready to transplant your new seedling into its more permanent growth medium.
Vegetative Growth Stage
Cannabis plants enter the vegetative growth stage after one to three weeks, at which point they’ll continue vegetating for about three to six more weeks. During vegetative growth, your plants will grow a thick center stem and little nodes that will turn into new branches and more leaves. Cannabis plants will continue to vegetate as long as they receive twelve to fifteen hours of sunlight or more each day, unless the plant is “auto-flowering.” Auto-flowering plants will transition to the flowering stage whether or not the light cycle changes.
If you’re planning an indoor grow, you can even keep a cannabis plant in the vegetative growth stage indefinitely by lighting it for eighteen or more hours per day. This is good to know if you’ve already got a healthy plant growing from a strain you really like because you can start new plants as clones from the mother.
Outdoor grows are limited by the amount of natural daylight they receive, so plan your planting accordingly to match the cannabis plant’s expected growth cycle.
On the other side of the summer solstice, when sunlight starts to diminish toward twelve hours per day or less, cannabis plants naturally enter their flowering stage. This is when it’s important to weed out any male plants that might have snuck into your grow, since they’ll kill your yield if they pollinate your females. The big sticky buds we love to smoke are only possible when female cannabis flowers go unfertilized—in fact, the psychoactive THC found in the sticky trichomes is a side effect of the plants trying their hardest to get fertilized. In nature, those trichomes help the female plants trap the male pollen for fertilization.
Plants will flower for eight to ten weeks once they’ve entered the flowering stage, and you can help them reach their maximum potential by trimming back some extraneous shoots and leaves.
Once the pistils start to turn orange, it’s time to harvest! This is where all your hard work finally pays off. First you cut down the plant at the root, then separate it into smaller branches, cutting off the rest of the extraneous leaves and stems. Hang the plant upside down for four to six days to ensure it’s had the chance to fully dry out.
After a week or so of drying, it’s time to separate the buds from the stems and pack them (loosely) into airtight containers (wide-mouth mason jars work great) to be stored in a cool, dark place for one to three weeks. It might not look like it, but there’s a lot of activity taking place in these jars, so you’ll want to “burp” the jars once a day to let out any gasses that may have accumulated and introduce fresh air.
Then you’re ready to smoke, or create your own extracts!
Growing Cannabis Outdoors
The simplest, easiest, most hassle-free way to grow your own cannabis is outside with natural sunlight. While you can certainly just plant them in the ground and hope for the best, we recommend growing in a pot (a three-gallon planter will suffice for a single plant) for better control of nutrients, water levels, and pH balance. If you use good, healthy, organic soil, you might not even have to feed your plants any supplemental nutrients at all!
You’ll still want to germinate your seeds indoors first, to protect them from the elements, then take them outside in April or May, after the last frost of the season. Young plants will then enter adulthood in June or July (auto-flowering varieties start a little earlier) and you’ll want to harvest them before mid-October to avoid any risk of freezing. You can check out this handy-dandy outdoor growth calendar for more specific timeframes depending on your region.
Water the plants with either distilled water or tap water that has been left open to the air for twenty-four hours (to evaporate any chlorine.) When they’re little, they may need to be watered twice a day, while more mature plants only need water every two to three days. In either case, you want to water in the morning to avoid mold and encourage nutrient absorption.
Growing Cannabis Indoors
Not everyone has the space for an outdoor grow, but the same principles apply if you want to grow your own cannabis indoors. You can grow your plants in three-gallon pots if you ensure they have proper drainage holes at the bottom, and you use organic potting soil. Indoor grows require some closer monitoring—you’ll want to make sure the soil has a pH between 6.0 and 6.8, and you may need to supplement your watering schedule with some nutrients the plants would otherwise receive from natural soil. When you water, make sure enough goes into the pot that there is visible runoff beneath it (and put your pot on a drip tray, so it doesn’t make a mess.)
Once a week, you want to supplement your soil with some key nutrients for plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, or NPK. Nitrogen promotes healthy stem and leaf development, phosphorus aids root and flower development, and potassium is vital for keeping roots healthy. Nutrient formula bottles display the ratio of these nutrients as a set of numbers like 20-20-20 to indicate N-P-K content, along with how much formula to add to a given quantity of water.
During the vegetative growth stage, you want to use a 20-20-20 ratio, then switch to 10-30-10 after two or three weeks of flowering.
As an alternative to soil, you could grow your plants hydroponically. Some people find this is a more precise method, since it suspends plants’ roots in a nutrient-enriched water solution that can easily be tested for things like pH and nutrient levels. The equipment is a little more involved—you need a container with a lid, a pump to circulate water, and a growth medium to support the roots as they grow—but it often takes less space to set up since it doesn’t require any soil.
Growing without soil requires some more regular attention, however, because you have to add all the nutrients your plants need directly to your hydroponic system. Fortunately, other people have worked out all the math and chemistry involved with keeping it balanced.
In either case, you’ll either need to place your plants by a window where it will receive more than fifteen hours of direct sunlight, or you’ll need to invest in an artificial lighting system. Conventional wisdom suggests that a 250-watt HID lamp is the only way to go, but those setups can be costly. Recent innovations in LED lighting make options like a Roleadro LED Panel more compelling since they produce less heat, use less electricity, and can be configured for multiple light spectrums.
Plants need blue spectrum light during their vegetative stages and benefit from red spectrum light when they transition to flowering (again, unless they’re an auto-flowering variety).
Another thing you’ll be responsible for with any indoor grow is maintaining proper temperature and humidity. Cannabis thrives in a low-humidity environment, and you’ll want to ensure the temperature stays between 68–78 °F. This can be especially challenging if using hot metal halide or high-pressure sodium lights.
On the plus side, you can get better lighting coverage by lowering your lights to just a foot above the canopy and then raising them as your plant grows higher.
Portland-Based Resources for Growing Cannabis
There are several excellent local gardening supply stores in the Portland metropolitan area to help you get set up with everything you need to grow your own cannabis. If you just want to try a basic soil grow with no hassles, check out A Pot for Pot. They sell all-in-one grow kits that contain everything you need (except sunlight, seeds, and water) to grow your first marijuana plant.
Garden Supply Stores
If you’re looking to really take the plunge, we can recommend three places to get you started. Roots Garden Supply on North Interstate Avenue in Portland is 100% locally owned and operated with a strong emphasis on organic growing. Bloom Garden Supply has two locations, on in Northeast Portland and one in Southeast, and they sell hydroponic systems for beginners and experts alike. Their staff is knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions. Then there’s Grow World, one of the largest hydroponics suppliers in the country. They’ve got their own glass shop and a unique partnership with the Oaksterdam University Home Grow Program.
Clones and Seeds
Last, but not least, you’re going to need either clones or seeds to have something to actually plant. We recommend starting with a clone if it’s your first time trying to grow your own cannabis, since you’ll be able to get familiar with the life cycle of the cannabis plant before having to deal with germinating seeds.
In our search, we found three reputable sources for clones: Archive Dispensary Portland on SE Henry Street, Kind Heart Collective on North Denver, and Maritime Café, which is celebrating their tenth anniversary. The only way to judge the quality of a clone is to see it in person, so check out all three—make a road trip out of it!
As far as seeds go, Maritime Café also has them, and so do MindRite, Nectar, and Satchel.
We hope whatever you decide to grow turns out great, and let us know what you come up with come harvest season!

My tomato plants didn’t do too good this year. My husband currently has it calculated that each cherry tomato we ate cost 33 cents. But there are still a couple little green tomatoes on the plants, if they ripen that will bring my cost per tomato down a little.
But other people had better luck than I did with their tomato plants. As the days are getting shorter and the nights colder, they are looking for ways to use up or save tomatoes on their plants that haven’t quite ripened. With special care, green tomatoes will ripen indoors and can be stored 4-6 weeks. But, it’s important to remember that not all tomatoes can be saved, they must have reached a certain stage of maturity on the vine or they will never ripen.
Obviously, the best way to ripen tomatoes is to leave them on the vine as long as possible. However, as the temperatures cool and there is a risk of frost, it is important to pick the tomatoes. When the temperature goes below 45 degrees for several days, the tomatoes may not ripen satisfactorily or may rot and decay before ripening.
For best results, select the largest, blemish-free tomatoes from healthy plants. Mature green tomatoes are greenish white on the blossom end, these are the one you’ll have the most luck with ripening. Hard bright green tomatoes will never ripen.
After harvesting, remove the stems to prevent them from puncturing each other, rinse and let them dry before storage. Just wiping the soil from the tomatoes is not recommended as it may cause damage which may lead to decay.
Sort by degree of ripeness, this way you can store then in the order in which they will ripen. To reduce bruising, wrap the tomatoes individually in newspaper. This also helps trap some of the ethylene gasses that the tomatoes give off which helps them to ripen. Pack the green tomatoes one or two layers deep in shallow boxes or trays.
The tomatoes should be stored in moderately moist airy place. Too much dampness will promote decay and if the room is too dry the tomatoes will shrivel and dry out before they ripen. Since homes and garages vary in humidity levels and temperatures, you’ll need to learn by trial and error which works best.
Mature green tomatoes reach an eating-ripe state in 14 days if held at 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Ripening can be slowed down by holding the tomatoes at 55 degrees. Storage at temperatures below 50 degrees will slow ripening, but result in poor quality.
Home refrigerators should be set at 40 degrees or slightly lower. This is too cold for green tomatoes. Tomatoes held at that temperature for more than a few days will never ripen. Tomatoes may be kept in the refrigerator after they are fully ripe but they may become watery after a couple of days.
Be sure to check your stored tomatoes frequently and remove any damaged one, as one spoiled tomato can ruin the entire batch.
If your supply of green tomatoes is plentiful you might try then in a green tomato salsa, grill them or oven fry. Nutritionally, according to the USDA data base, a green tomato has slightly more calories– 41 calories— than a raw ripe red tomato at 32 calories per cup (180 grams). Green tomatoes also have a little more Vitamin C (70% DV vs. 38% DV) and a little more sugar (7 grams vs. 5 grams.)
With some special care you might be able to have fresh tomatoes for Thanksgiving.
