Purchasing a Christmas tree is becoming more and more of an adventure
A cold spring, regionally heavy rainfall in April to May and a long dry period in August and September have not made it easy for farmers this year. Even the Christmas tree business has been affected. The trees are cultivated on an approx. 50,000 hectare area in Germany. On person, who knows a great deal about Nordmann firs, blue spruce, etc. is Frank Uwihs. He is the special cultures expert for the cultivation and care of strawberries, asparagus and Christmas trees at AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG and provides some tips for tree purchasing in the interview.

- AGRAVIS Special Cultures Expert, Frank Uwihs, knows the trends for Christmas trees.
How can you tell whether it is a good-quality tree?
Uwihs: Trees that have grown evenly and have an healthy, green colour to the needles are particularly good. There is a longer lead time from harvesting them on the field and the point at which the tree is put up in the living room. Customers should be aware and check that the Christmas tree is not already dropping needles when purchasing.
What are the new trends of the Christmas tree business?
Uwihs: Nowadays customers can buy a Christmas tree from almost anywhere, whether it is a supermarket, hardware store or in a yard. Moreover the purchase surrounding the tree is becoming more and more of an experience. The whole family comes to the yard and enjoys the atmosphere with mulled wine and hot chocolate.
What can farmers look out for when cultivating?
Uwihs: Currently a vast amount of energy is being exerted in Christmas tree cultivation. It is important to trim the shoots at the right time and lift the base of the crown from the floor. In doing so the tree will grow in the right direction and will have sufficient air and space underneath. Moreover, less disease is likely to develop. Three years prior to harvest, the topiary begins: by doing this the farmer can encourage the correct shape. A special trick is to scratch the bark so that the tree does not rapidly shoot up, but grows evenly.

Food starts with the corn kernel and its four unique parts: the endosperm, pericarp, germ and tip cap. We use those four parts of the corn kernel to make grits, meals, flours, and whole grain corn flours.
- Endosperm - The endosperm carries most of the dry weight of the kernel. This part of the kernel contains starch, which is commonly used in food. The endosperm provides the starch necessary to produce sugar molecules for ethanol production.
Products that come from this part are grits, meals and flours. Flour is the finest out of all three products made from the endosperm and grits are coarsest.
- Germ - The germ is the only living part of the kernel and is the centermost piece. This part stores genetic information, enzymes, vitamins and minerals for the kernel so it can grow when it is on the ear. Twenty-five percent of the germ
is oil, making it one of the most valuable parts of the kernel.
- Tip cap - This part attaches the kernel to the cob. Water and nutrients flow through here to help the kernel alive.
- Whole kernel - We grind the whole corn kernel down to a specific granulation to make our whole grain corn meal.


We work with some of the Hill Tribes that populate Northern Thailand (Lampang – Chae Hom District). Over more than 20 years, we have been helping these people and have been promoting their human development, health and education. For instance, among other activities, we are taking care of more than 800 students and hosting 200 of them in our 5 boarding schools.
With the project “Caffè Bruno” we want to help provide sustainable job for the hill tribe as well as providing opportunity for education, through fair trade purchase of coffee beans from the hill tribe farmers which is used in our coffee production. The entire proceeds from benefit goes to the hill tribe student scholarships, under the care of “Mary Queen of Peace” Center.
Our goals are:
• to use the profits from coffee-beans sales to set up scholarships for the children of these villages.
• to raise awareness, among the local villagers, about organic, sustainable and pesticide-free cultivations.
• to improve the living and working condition of local tribes, so they can stay rooted to their territory and not migrate.
• to promote the development and the quality of the beans produced, improving each step of the process and adopting italian machinery and techniques to obtain a superior coffee.

About the Company
High-Quality Food & Beverage Ingredients
Sierra Agra USA is a food processing company based in Reedley, in the heart of California’s Central Valley agricultural breadbasket. We turn the region’s abundant fruits and vegetables into high-quality feedstock to make juices, purees and concentrates for the US market.
Mr. Watson has worked in Sierra Leone during the past fourteen years in agriculture and mining and has been instrumental in improving CSR standards in those sectors.
Mr. Concari is the Managing Director of Tropical Food Machinery s.r.l., (“TFM”) based in Busseto, Italy and sole supplier and advisor of the processing equipment for the SAUSA Reedley plant.
Our employees are the energy that drives us forward. Their commitment, expertise and diversity are the key to the company's success. Because of this, we are committed to offering them full-time employment, above-average wages and access to healthcare benefits. We also make sure that they get the right training and support and are healthy and safe in their daily work.
About half of the fruit and vegetables we grow every year are rejected by supermarkets and produce distributors for minor cosmetic imperfections, ending up ploughed under in farms or rotting in landfills. But while these produces might look a little “wonky” on the outside, they taste the same on the inside. As part of our commitment toward a lower carbon future, we redirect part of these abundant culls into purposeful feedstock to make our products, preventing a huge waste of perfectly usable product from negatively impacting our air and the climate.
How We're Making Change:


According to the exploration of experimental research and Practice for many years, according to the characteristics of soil and crops, fertilizer mixed application of science; not only can improve the effectiveness of the nutrient, physical and chemical properties and can improve the fertilizer, reduce the labor intensity of farmers, so as to realize the true meaning of the crop high yield and high efficiency. But the following three aspects should be paid attention to:
1., master the three principles of mixing: no mixture can be reduced after mixing, and no adverse physical and chemical properties will be produced after mixing. The proportion of nutrient species must be suitable for the nutritional needs and soil fertility of crops.
2. it is necessary to find out which fertilizers can be mixed, which chemical fertilizers can not be mixed and which fertilizers can only be mixed temporarily but not for long time.
(1) can be mixed. In addition to nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, almost all chemical fertilizers can be mixed with organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer and fertilizer combined, can play a combination of speed, the effect of complement, help each other in case of need, the fertilizer can accelerate the decomposition of rotten organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer can activate insoluble nutrient fertilizer, improve the utilization rate of the fertilizer. In addition, some fertilizer can not only be mixed, but also the effect is better after mixing. Such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride and other physiological acid nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus ore powder mixed use, can improve the solubility of phosphorus, enhance fertilizer efficiency, if used in calcareous soil, the effect will be better. The combination of potassium chloride and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer can inhibit the nitrification of soil and reduce the loss of nitrogen. The combination of potassium chloride and ammonium nitrate reduces the low moisture solvability and makes the physical properties better.
(2) not to be mixed. The mixed use of some fertilizers will cause great loss of nutrients and cause great waste. Such as ash, lime, phosphate slag and alkaline fertilizer can not decomposition of human waste, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium chloride, ammonium fertilizer mix, otherwise, will cause a chemical reaction, oxygen volatilization of nitrogen loss and effective phosphorus fixation; ash and lime alkaline fertilizer and superphosphate and phosphate rock is not mixed, otherwise it will make water soluble nutrients transform the soluble nutrients, and reduce fertilizer efficiency. Organic fertilizer can not be mixed with nitrogenous nitrogen, otherwise denitrification can cause nitrogen loss. There is not, ammonia, ammonium sulfate and ammonium bicarbonate as kiln ash potassium mixed fertilizer; ammonia urea, potassium chloride, and should not be mixed application of urea phosphate powder; not with calcium magnesium phosphate, kiln ash potassium mixed fertilizer, etc..
(3) can be temporarily mixed but not long. That is to say, some fertilizer can be mixed, but it must be applied immediately after mixing. Such as nitrate fertilizer and superphosphate mixed fertilizer, deliquescence, moisture absorption, inconvenient to use, if not for a long time, the net nitrogen will China gold investment greatly losses, and effectively transform the soluble phosphorus and phosphorus; urea and potassium chloride mixed for a long time, although there is no loss of nutrients, but also increase the moisture absorption, the caking of fertilizer. Difficult to use.
3. about the mixing of foliar fertilizer and plant growth regulator with other fertilizers and pesticides. Generally speaking, the market of the foliar fertilizer or plant growth regulators are acidic or neutral, acidic and acidic fertilizer and pesticide mixture, but not with alkaline fertilizer such as lime and alkaline pesticides such as Bordeaux mixture application. Foliar fertilizer or fertilizer, plant growth regulators and acidic acidic pesticides mixed properly, such as adding regulator of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium, boron, zinc fertilizer, foliar fertilizer and plant growth, can not only reduce the number of fertilization, but also synergistic, so that the fertilizer effect play better.

|Description:||SeedWorks partnered with us to build India’s first-ever end-to-end simplified farmer support app that keeps farmers engaged & informed. After talking to more than 690 farmers across the country, we realized that farmers were in dire need of authentic crop-related information and were mainly dependent on WhatsApp conversation with company representatives, farmers gathering in the evening, and Kisan call centers.
Moreover, they were quite well-versed with using smartphones, keen users of platforms such as YouTube & TikTok, and relied heavily on voice searches. These unique insights helped us build the SeedWorks app that had unique gamification features and a one-of-its-kind crop calendar that provided step-by-step customized help in crop production.
With strong visual cues, amicable conversational tone, and voice feature as a constant across all platforms, the SeedWorks app has become an ally of farmers - potentially changing the lives of 14.5 crore farmers and bettering the nation from the grassroots level.

Oil palms grow best in low-lying, warm and humid areas around the equator, exactly where tropical rainforests proliferate, as well as in the hot savannah areas of Central Africa and Latin America. The establishment of palm oil plantations has led to large-scale deforestation, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia.
What is the problem with palm oil?
Acres of trees are being cut down with all the consequences that this entails:
Local people and endangered animals lose their habitats
The destruction of forests and the draining of peatlands create highly inflammable areas. Indonesia is literally in flames every year as a result. The suffocating smoke causes serious health problems for hundreds of thousands of people.
Deforestation, which often goes hand in hand with fierce forest fires, releases a lot of CO2. This causes the earth's climate to change even faster.
The use of pesticides on plantations completely exhausts the soil and causes irreparable damage.
All our products are free of palm oil, we use divine oils 😏

Ggests the indirect result of Se, I and Si, on plant elemental standing. 3. Supplies and Procedures 3.1. Developing Problems and Experimental Protocol The experiment was conducted in 2020 and 2021 in the Federal Scientific Vegetable Center (Moscow area; fifty five 39 23 N, 37 12 43 E), in plastic pots employing chervil seeds of your genotype 210 sown on 6 June. The values of indicate temperature and relative humidity, and total photosynthetically lively radiation (PAR) during the vegetation time period were: in 2020, 21.0 C, 73.0 and 293 MJ m-2 in June, and 23.8 C, 74.9 and 244 MJ m-2 in July; in 2021, 17.2 C, 69 and 285 MJ m-2 in June, and twenty.1 C, 72.0 and 232 MJ m-2 in July. The photoperiod duration (day length) was 17.207.33 in June and 17.266.0 in July. Every single pot (10 L volume, 25 cm diameter, twenty cm height) contained a discipline clay-loam soil, with all the following qualities: pH 6.eight, two.one natural matter; 1.32 mg-eq 100 g-1 hydrolytic acidity; 18.five mg kg-1 mineral nitrogen; 21.three mg kg-1 ammonium nitrogen; 402 mg kg-1 mobile phosphorous; 198 mg kg-1 exchangeable potassium; sum of absorbed bases as much as 93.six ; cation exchange capability as much as 15 mg-eq a hundred g-1 soil; soil moisture area capacity as much as 25.2 . Each of the pots were placed outdoors underneath a plastic shelter guarding from rainwater. Every pot had a tray for collecting leaching water, which was recycled throughout the up coming irrigation. The experimental protocol integrated eight remedies: (one) manage (without the need of any supplementation); (two) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 resolution (10 L-1 ); (three) foliar supplementation of KI (150 mg L-1 ); (four) foliar supplementation of nano-Si (14 mg L-1 ); (5) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 and KI with all the above-indicated concentrations; (six) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 nano-Si using the above-indicated concentrations; (7) supplementation of KI nano-Si with the above-indicated concentrations; and (8) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 KI nano-Si together with the above-indicated concentrations. The volume of remedies per pot was 50 mL. A randomized complete block layout was used to the treatment distribution inside the discipline, with 3 replicates, and each and every therapy consisted of 4 pots. On six June, 30 chervil seeds have been sown in just about every pot, with a SBP-3264 Data Sheet density of 16 pots per m2 . The plants were watered 3 times per week to avoid any water stress during the total expanding time period. On 5 August, all plants have been harvested, separated into shoots and roots, washed with tap water, rinsed quite a few times with distilled water, dried with filter paper and weighed to assess the biomass, dried up to continuous fat at 70 C and homogenized. three.two. Colloidal Option of Silicon Nanoparticles three.two.1. Laser Ablation in Liquid (LAL) Si nanoparticles while in the form of the colloidal remedy had been obtained by pulsed laser ablation within a liquid (LAL). The irradiation was attained by utilizing a pulsed nanosecond Nd:YAG laser with a CFT8634 In Vivo wavelength = 1064 nm. The laser pulse length was twelve ns and pulses frequency–1 Hz. Rated energy during the pulse was two.five J. As a target, special-purity grade single-crystalline silicon was sprayed. The target was immersed in the static glass cell with 250 mL of deionized water. The laser beam was centered on target within the cell by lens. The target was irradiated for 30 min devoid of stirring. three.two.2.

The Port of Paranaguá ended March with the largest monthly movement ever recorded in the Export Corridor. 2.4 million tons of soybeans, in grain and bran, were shipped through the port of Paraná. The volume is 51% higher than the volume handled in the same month of 2019 and exceeds the previous record of 2.2 million tons, reached in June last year by more than 180 thousand tons.
According to Chief Executive Officer Ports of Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, the positive result, even in the face of Covid-19’s adversities, shows the effectiveness of the security measures adopted since January by the public company. “Our concern for the health of port workers, truck drivers and crew is always first. We need to guarantee a safe environment so that they have confidence and maintain the services that are essential for the country ”.
According to him, the new record also proves the strength of agribusiness. “The harvest was very good and the exchange rate was favorable for exports. Ports around the world play an important role in food security and are part of a business chain that generates millions of jobs, in the field and in industry ”, he adds.
CORONAVÍRUS – The ports in Paraná were the first in Brazil to set up a complete structure for primary health care, on the quayside and in the truck sorting yard. Medical teams are open 24 hours a day, every day, with temperature measurements, guidelines and the proper referral of necessary cases.
The public company also purchased 20,000 liters of gel alcohol; 144 liters of antiseptic soap (used in hospital environments); 5,000 pairs of gloves; 10,000 extra units of surgical masks; 21 tents and elevated cabins; 200 linear meters of insulation grid, 32 showers, 60 sinks and foot washer with sodium hypochlorite.
SOYA – Soy exports were largely responsible for the historical performance. Nine private and two public terminals in the complex handled 2 million tons of grain and about 463.6 thousand tons of bran. The cargo filled, in the month, the holds of 40 ships.
The sector, which in the first two months of the year was apprehensive about the delay in planting, celebrates. According to Helder Catarino, representative of Interalli and one of the directors of the Association of Terminals of the Paranaguá Export Corridor (ATEXP), the lack of rain at the end of last year delayed the harvest for the end of February and the beginning of March.
“With the advance of the harvest in the last month, we had a more favorable scenario. Good offer, ports with static capacity, operational space to receive the strong harvest and a schedule of ships that ensured the exit and the turn of the goods ”, said Catarino.
In the first quarter, the Paranaguá Export Corridor handled 4.72 million tons of bulk. Of this total, 3.3 million soybeans, 1 million soybean meal and 297 thousand tons of corn. The volume handled in the first three months of 2020 is almost 12% higher than that registered in the same period of 2019.
Expectations and exports to remain high in the coming months
The CEO of the public company Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, estimates that exports will continue to increase in the coming months. The port sector considers current projections of demand for food and the good pace of the Brazilian harvest. For the next few months, 6.43 million tons of soybeans, already sold, are expected.
“The State Government adopted very firm measures to combat the new coronavirus and made it clear that roads and railways, in addition to essential transport activities, such as restaurants, tire shops and mechanics, must remain open”, comments Garcia.
The movement of trucks for unloading bulk cargo at the Port of Paranaguá is above average. In March alone, 55,835 passed through the public company’s screening yard. The number exceeds the historic mark registered in 2019 by 5,000 vehicles, with 50,900 trucks received.
On the page of the Department of Highways (www.der.pr.gov.br), drivers find a list of commercial establishments in operation around the main highways in Paraná.

Overseeding and Aerating Your Lawn
What is Over-seeding?
Over-seeding is sowing seed into your existing lawn without having to re-seed the entire lawn, and is much less expensive. If you have proper drainage, but have thin or weak spots its time to take action. We recommend that your lawn is over-seeded every 3-5 years on average.
Core Aeration is the process of taking out deep plugs of soil using a machine called a “Core Aerator”. This gives the soil “room to breathe”. Soil can become hard and compacted over time which negatively affects how nutrients and water are absorbed by the grass roots.
Want to learn more about Aerating? Check out our “Aeration Article”
What Time of Year Should I Over-seed My Lawn?
For cool season grasses such as those in Anchorage, we recommend early to mid summer.
Why Over-seed After Aerating?
This is the perfect time! Plugs of dirt are left on top of your lawn immediately after your lawn is aerated. The holes from aerating are 4 to 5 inches deep & make for the perfect environment for new seed growth. In addition to the grass seed germinating in these holes, they will also germinate directly on the dirt cores, which then break down over the next week+. You should ultimately over seed within a day of aeration while the holes are open and before cores begin to break down.
How often do I water after Over-seeding?
Water thoroughly daily for 2 to 3 weeks until grass seedlings are at least 2 inches tall. Then every two days thereafter, if weather is dry.
Don’t Have the Time?
Alaska Premier Services would love to take this task off your hands, leaving you with a beautiful lush and much thicker lawn. Aeration is going on right now, so sign up today for our Aeration & Over-seeding bundle. During the month of August we offer a discount on our Aeration and Overseeding Service. We aerate in August due to cooler & wetter weather which helps the machine pull large “cores”. If overseeding, the cooler, wetter weather also improves the germination rates.
Call Alaska Premier Services at (907) 887-4545 or click the “Sign up Online” button below and we’ll add you to our schedule. We’d LOVE to make your lawn “the talk of your neighbors”!

Community Garden Draws People Together from Area Neighborhoods for Common Goal
Tribune assistant editor
The Lynden Tribune
April 8, 2009
LYNDEN — It is a garden for the community, by the community. And it is that way by design.
Sonlight Community Church has donated three-quarters of an acre along Aaron Drive for use by the local community as a plotted community garden.
Behind the initiative of church-goer and community activist Jeff Littlejohn, nearly 300 homes in the neighboring high-density community were invited to participate in the new garden.
The church is simply donating the space and letting the community take charge of planning it.
Littlejohn said it has been a true community effort.
Melissa Nienhuis, resident, said that she was “surprised to see a group who didn’t know each other agree on a plan (for the garden) and work together.” “I have never felt that sense of community,” she added.
Lisa Kusick said the initial meeting of interested residents was shockingly “inspiring.”
She said she got involved because she wanted to grow peas like her “granny” did. “It went from growing peas to growing a community,” she said.
Neighbors from Heartland, Parkview West Apartments, Lynden Manor, Lynden Manor Condominiums, Heritage Park and Fishtrap Landing were all invited to participate. All of those areas are high-density, providing residents little to no room for a garden of their own. The garden still has room for residences of those areas to join in.
Littlejohn said it simply worked out that the location of the garden is surrounded by high-density housing.
A dozen people on a steering committee are planning the rules and bylaws for the North City Community Garden, which is expected to have about 26 households participating. The first order of business was to determine the garden is going to be organic. Other decisions are on the way.
Nienhuis said that it is turning into a great family event, as kids are excited to participate in the learning process.
The garden itself will feature three different sizes of plots ranging from 4 feet square to 10 by 20 feet.
Plans include a communal plot for corn, shrubs, flowers and trees on the outside of the garden, a split-rail fence along Aaron Drive, the creation of a gathering area outside of the garden and the fixing-up of a nearby shed (which at one time was used as a residence for a farmhand) for use by the gardeners.
Discussions over creating raised beds, making it easier for older members to participate, are in the works.
“We want the old-timers to help,” Littlejohn said. “We have so much to learn,” Nienhuis added.
The garden will be planted when the weather allows. Littlejohn said he was able to get Whatcom County and the City of Lynden to work together — a feat in and of itself — to bring in river silt, which a local farmer spread. Edaleen Dairy offered free manure, which was tilled by Eldon Heutink. The most recent layer of compost is germinating, getting ready for planting with another mix of high-quality compost.
Nienhuis said she is looking forward to the opportunity to learn and share in the knowledge of gardening and the community it brings.
Kusick said she has already met neighbors she hadn’t known before. “That is the other part that is so much fun,” she said. “Strangers are coming together with this purpose in mind. That is a big part for me.”
There is hope that in the fall, the plot of ground can be used as a winter garden showcase and that the Lynden Boys & Girls Club, which meets at the church, can play a role in the gardening. Nienhuis thinks that enough food can be raised to donate to Lynden’s Project Hope.
Littlejohn praised the efforts of Third Christian Reformed Church in planting a community gardening seed across Lynden.
Last year, Third kicked off its own community garden (as chronicled in the Tribune) under the direction of Dave Timmer. Littlejohn said that that plan sparked the thoughts of starting one at Sonlight.
Alyce Werkema is also spearheading a similar effort at United Methodist Church of Lynden.
The WSU Whatcom County Master Gardeners will visit the North City Community Garden of Lynden at 10 a.m. on April 18 to help neighbors get ready to grow their own groceries. They will be teaching how to prepare soil, which vegetables are best for our region, how to build raised beds and other useful structures and how to site and design your garden. All are invited to this free event.
As part of Littlejohn’s Imagine Northwest community partnership organization located at Lynden’s New Hope Center, 205 South B.C. Ave., he has created a demonstration garden in the front of the building.
The small garden, which is simply layers of compost and straw on top of cardboard (to keep the weeds out), is designed to allow people to learn how to garden. The style Littlejohn uses enables layering, which replaces tilling.
It has also served as a teaching tool for the youth housed at New Way Ministries, as they helped with the initial planting recently.

Joostenberg Wines is run by the Myburgh famliy. The Myburghs farm in the southern regions of Paarl WO bordering Stellenbosch. All of the fruit for their wines either comes from the organically-certified Joostenberg property or from their neighbours’ farms. Tyrrel is the fifth generation of his family to farm the land.
The entire Joostenberg ethos is based around the farm: the land and the people who live and work on it. Sustainability is something that Tyrrel and his wife Anette mention often. They want to care for the land under their custodianship and endevour to create wines that reflect the uniqueness of the terroir. Consequently the team ripped out the irrigation of mature vineyard blocks and certified the vineyards as organic a few years ago.
The wines are classically made, with an emphasis on terroir-expression. Tyrrel tends to shy away from techniques that result in aggressive wines. They are quintessential in their styles, approachable and offer serious drinkers and novices alike impressive value for money.
They make 6 Estate wines – wines that are grown, made and bottled on the property.
Die Agteros comes from the oldest vineyard on the farm – Chenin Blanc planted in 1982. The name is derived from the Afrikaans saying “Die agteros kom ook in die kraal.” (Even the last ox eventually arrives). Bush vine, dry grown – salty and sweet fruit with texture and flavour for days.
The Fairhead is the most exotic of the Joostenberg Estate wines. Roussanne and Viognier originate from the Rhone Valley in France and absolutely thrive in the dry, Mediterranean climate of southern Paarl. They add peach and apricot characters to the lemon, hay and waxiness of the Chenin Blanc. Named after Gillian Fairhead, Tyrrel’s mother and boss-lady at Joostenberg for many years.
The warm Paarl climate seems ideal to grow quality Syrah. The vineyard used for this wine is the rockiest site on Joostenberg – thus the name: Klippe Kou means “Chewing Rocks”. This gives the wine a concentration of structure (tannin and acid), which matches the fruit weight provided by the Paarl sun. There is also a lovely, integrated spice element to the palate giving depth to the red berry and plum fruit.
Cabernet Sauvignon at its best is about structure – an abundance of fine-grained tannin, with black fruit and smokey tobacco notes balanced by well judged acid. This Cabernet (with a sneaky 8% Merlot) has all the component parts with a subtle minty edge. The Philip Albert is named after Philipus Albertus Myburgh, first of his name; the man who started Joostenberg six generations ago.
The top red wine made at Joostenberg, an uncompromising combination of the best red fruit from the farm. From the warm 2016 vintage it is mostly Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon with Mourvèdre and Touriga Nacional together making up around 25% of the blend. The name Bakermat, meaning “birth-place” or “cradle” in Dutch, pays homage to Joostenberg Farm.
There are different kinds of sweet wines – the Noble Late from Joostenberg is a classic botrytis style. Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that grows on the grape skins that dehydrates each berry while protecting it from oxygen (thus wines with fresh fruit flavours, and not Porty or oxydative nutty or toffee flavours). Botrytis is sort-after in many regions and is also known as “Noble Rot”. Apart from dessert and cheese, botrytis wines are magnificent with liver pâté as an aperitif. 375ml bottle.
The two non-Estate wines from Joostenberg are great options at a more affordable price. They are the virtually un-oaked Chenin Blanc and the red Family Blend. the Chenin is charming, super-fresh, medium weight, nice and punchy. The Family Blend is, as the name suggests, a blend based on Syrah and Cabernet – resulting in a juicy, spicy wine with plenty of fruit weight and struture.
The wines of Joostenberg are delicious, and the fruit grown with meticulous care. We feel they offer immense value.

We have finally arrived: Peak growing season! Discover the best June fruits and vegetables (like berries, stone fruit, nightshades, and more) to buy at the farmer’s market, supermarket, or to harvest from your garden. Then learn how to incorporate the best seasonal produce in my favorite summer recipes.
Ahh, June. The month when summer becomes officially ours, school wraps up, grilling season begins in earnest, and when the gardens and farms really start generating some of the year’s best produce. I know some say that the winter holidays are the most wonderful time of the year, but I’m a firm believer that it is the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day. 😎
Curious about what’s in season in June so you can shop and meal prep wisely? My seasonal produce guide below is almost like I’m right there with you, strolling through the farmer’s market and helping you fill your reusable bag with the season’s best.
Your budget and your taste buds benefit when you eat seasonal produce is fresh and affordable because it’s fresh, flavorful, and affordable. (You’ll save even more money if you grow your own, of course!)
Consider adding these June fruits and vegetables to your harvesting or shopping list. Then, if you’re craving inspiration about how to put what’s in season in June to tasty use, read on for dozens of seasonal recipes to include as part of your menu for picnics and potlucks or for family breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
Table of Contents
What’s in Season in June?
- Berries and stone fruits: Stock up on strawberries, cherries, apricots, mangoes, nectarines, peaches, and plums to use fresh now, then freeze them for later. June is when stone fruits and berries are just beginning to get their most candy-like and naturally sweet. Once you’ve brought your stone fruit and berry bounty into your kitchen, showcase them alongside Fruit Dip, in pies, cobblers, compotes, and crisps, as part of shortcakes, salad, or washed and eaten in their unadorned glory.
- Melons and mulberry family fruits: True, figs are rarely grown in the midwest (most domestic varieties thrive in California). But you can definitely ship some fresh figs, which are part of the mulberry family, in for a delightful seasonal fruit to feature as part of tarts, quick breads, salads, roasted side dishes, or grilled and topped with a scoop of ice cream. We’re also tip-toeing into the time of year when cantaloupe and watermelon are at their juiciest, sweetest, and best. I can’t get enough of melon salads and smoothies in June, and neither can my kids.
- Legumes and daisy family vegetables: Fun fact: Asparagus and lettuce are both a perennial flowers, and as such, are classified as members of the daisy family. The high water content and crisp texture makes both of these daisies utterly delicious in salads on the hottest days of summer. Spring peas and green beans are technically considered legumes; try these in salads, too, toss them into soups, then save enough to blanch and freeze for later.
- Cucurbits: Cucumber and summer squash fall under the umbrella of “cucurbit” crops. (Melons do as well, by the way, but since we use those in such different ways culinarily, I feature them separately here.) Supremely hydrating and dreamy in salads, side dishes, or spiralized into noodles, cucumbers, zucchini, and other summer squash are a steal at the market right now.
- Grasses and nightshade vegetables: An old midwestern idiom about corn is “knee-high by the 4th of July.” But that doesn’t mean we have to wait several more months after that. The harvest season for corn, which is actually a type of grass, is just beginning now. It’s right in the middle of the best moment for nightshades, including bell peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. For grilling, blending into dips and sauces, incorporating into salads and sandwiches, and beyond, nightshades are the most adaptable of all seasonal vegetables.
The Best Fruits and Vegetables to Eat in June
Berries and Stone Fruit Recipes
Summer isn’t summer until I’ve been able to dive fork-first into a bowl of berries or bite into a juicy peach or nectarine. These seasonal fruits are dessert-like and delicious as-is, but are even better in these berry and stone fruit desserts and drinks.
Strawberry Peach Frosé
Melon and Mulberry Family Fruit Recipes
I love adding fresh or dried figs to quick bread recipes. (Fig-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread? Yes, please!) Cantaloupe and watermelon, which my kids eat their weight in this time of year, are a treat this time in fruit salads, of course. You can also incorporate melon into a wide variety of sweet side dishes, summer desserts, and refreshing drink recipes.

Legumes and Daisy Family Vegetables
From salads to pasta tosses to sautéed sides, asparagus, spring peas, and green beans are summer menu superstars. Leaves of lettuce make a stellar substitute for tortillas as a sandwich wrap vessel, and is brilliant as a base in some of my favorite vegetable and even pasta salads.
BLT Pasta Salad
Cucurbit Vegetable Recipes
Cucumbers and summer squash are stellar in salads, sauces, sandwiches, as part of potluck-perfect appetizers, and even tucked inside casseroles and soups if you happen to be craving comfort food during summer. And don’t forget to preserve some as pickles so you can enjoy a taste of the season all year long.

The Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sohaon Ballia is a district level Farm Science Center established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi under Narendra Dev University of Agriculture & Technology for speedy transfer of technology to the farmers' fields. It was established in 1989. The operational area of this Krishi Vigyan Kendra is Ballia district of the eastern U.P. This KVK has to work in seventeen blocks. The aim of Krishi Vigyan Kendra is to reduce the time lag between generation of technology at the research institutions and it's transfer to the farmer's field for increasing production, productivity and income from the agriculture and allied sectors on a sustained basis. In order to achieve this goal, four mandates have been envisaged in the design of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra.


Another Case for Organic: The Sweet Potato Project
So it certainly is not new news that conventional produce (unlike organic produce) is generally subject to chemical exposure and genetic modification. Nonetheless, this girl's science project brings an astonishing visual demonstration to the effects of using chemicals on produce. In her particular project, she compares sprouting between a conventional potato, an organically labeled potato, and an organic potato from a certified organic market. The project raises the question of what health effects (if any) chlorpropham can have on those who consume conventional potatoes and other produce that contain the chemical. The project also raises the question of why is there a difference in sprouting between organically-labeled produce and produce from a certified organic market. If you haven't seen this video yet, I encourage you to do so.

Mosaic hops are a new variety that should become available to home and commercial brewers with the 2012 harvest. However, there is likely to be a limited supply for the foreseeable future. As interest grows in this and other new varieties, there can be a relatively rapid increase in the supply of Mosaic hops within a year or two depending upon available rhizomes and acreage for cultivation.

I have found, and ordered 4 ounces of this hop. It will be one of the very first I review with the new evaluation method I have developed. I chose this hop because it will be exceedingly rare for the next harvest or two. The evaluation method is being introduced in a book that should be out around Christmas, 2012. I’ll post my evaluation after the book release.

It rained all day. There is slight chance of snow for tonight. Between the two there was a break as the temperature began to drop. It doesn't take temperatures very high above freezing to get the bulbs going at this time of year. The earliest yellow crocus are about to pop.
After a very long nap, I decided I better seize this break in the weathers to sow poppy seeds even if it was rather late in the day. Poppies need the cold to get started and need to be sown very early in the year. A nice covering of snow would be good for them.
There was more involved in this process than just tossing out seeds though.
My chosen spot for them is the wildflower strip between the roadside vegetable garden and the scenic byway. The seeds need to be in contact with bare dirt. I had to cut down and rake away last year's Lush to get to bare ground.
I had already decided to exert a little more control over what grows in this strip of wildflowers. It was becoming a rather dull monoculture. I want more enthusiasm. Late last fall I began yanking out goldenrod by the roots. That process will need to continue to thin it even further. The fescue grass and clematis virginiana were on the hit list today.
I got to bare dirt and sowed my seeds. Now it can snow. If it doesn't snow tonight that will be fine. More big rain is in the diagnosis for Sunday. That will get the seeds settled into the soil. Now let there be poppies with the other wild things.
I'll need to clean up the roadside chicory bed soon to get it ready for spring. I may get to that on Sunday before the rains return.
If I have to be a roadside attraction, I can make an effort to be a good one.


Here at Great Grass we understand that installation can be quite tricky, so we are going to give you a brief description on how to install your artificial grass the easiest way possible. There are 2 types of installations; installation on hard and solid ground or replacing your old artificial grass. We have worked out the best way to install your grass and its right her for you!
Hard and solid ground:
- Make sure that the surface you are covering is clean and smooth. You can apply a self-levelling compound, this compound will remove surface imperfections, which is a particularly good idea if the grass you are laying is very low/short.
- Unroll or Lay the grass onto the now clean and level area you are covering. Makes sure you allow around 50mm of grass on each side. This is because you will need to trim off the excess to ensure a perfect edge. Leave the grass for two-to-three hours to settle, this will stop it wrinkling or creasing.
- Cut and trim your artificial grass, by using a sharp Stanley knife to ensure that you cut the grass straight.
- To make the joins, use grade A outdoor tape and glue and following the instructions on the product. If you have a wooden surface, such as decking or suspended floor boards, you can use them both, in a combination of adhesive and carpet, then use tacking hooks to fix the grass down.
Existing lawn replacement:
- Work out the height that you want your grass layer to be. Then work out the height of the materials you will be installing. Make sure you include layers of geotextile weed barrier, sub-base to prevent unwanted weeds growing through your lawn.
- Take up the grass, either by hand for small areas and comers or use a turf cutter for a large area. Also, take out some subsoil depending upon the height of your top soil, but never build your base on topsoil.
- Compact/flatten the ground using a vibrating plate or roller (n.b. you can hire these at a good equipment hire centre)
- Spray weed killer then put down a geo-textile weed barrier on to the area.
- Ensure the grass is not higher than the final grass line so that you don’t hinder the water run-off, and could cause large unsightly (and sometimes damaging) puddles forming when it rains
- Using either a layer of a finer stone of between 6mm and 14mm of coarse sand, Compact with the vibrating plate or roller and top up as you need to, to achieve your desired level.
- Lay or unroll the grass on top of the sand rather than dragging it.
- (Repeat steps 2-4 from instructions above.)
- If you are using edgings, put natural stone paving or logs against them. If you are not using edgings, hammer in some landscaping nails every 50mm approximately.
