Comments (4)june...thank you! I just checked out Neuton's site, it has awesome gardening helpers. Oh yeah, Hi I am Cindee, 56 and live and garden in SW Florida. I have to have 2 total hip replacements and can not the surgery until after Nov. of this year. They ask you to register first, but anyone needing gardening assistance should check out this site! wonderful products. Here is a link that might be useful: Neuton...See MoreHelp with wheelbarrow full of cukes and different squash
Comments (2)Plenty of ideas, recipes, and uses for all vegetables. It takes a bit of time to read through the many hundreds of threads and posts. Here, I must harvest my cukes every day, or they will not produce. Luckily, I decided early on what vegetables I want to grow, and how many plants of each. A good for instance is broccoli, and leeaf lettuce. Broccoli is now all harvested, except for a few small flowerettes here an there. The leaf lettuce I grew are about 7 dufferent types , all of which have very close naturity dates. I have picked about 25 pounds of it and have given a lot away to friends and neighbors. Because of the success of the letce, I planted more seeds in the beginning of July, these are just now showing several leaves. For squash, none ths year, but my favorite is butterup types. Things like crooked neck summer squash are good too, but if I plant them, there would only be a few, so I am not overwhelmed. I did post an note about making cucumber sandwiches, and I am sure the kids would love these on a hot summer day. You have lucked out and have been fortunate enough to get produce that would definately save you money later on. As payback to the generous people, I must assume that your going to give them some of your home canned items, or other things. If you can't pick yourself, maybe a pick your own by the customer would help. My apples are just now starting to ripen and, I do plan to make something out of them, when the weather is cool enough, I also have garage sales, which help to reduce my over abundence. Because I do can, some of the older canned items are also offered in my sales. Most are simply tomato sauce and pickles....See MoreHAVE: wheelbarrow w/ flat tire -in annapolis
Comments (2)no I am sure thats all I need to do but I dont really want to spend money on it since I can use my neighbors any time I need it. I already have enough things in my yard lol!...See MoreTire pressure......cold vs warm tire?
Comments (4)Yes, tire pressure read less when cold. In the vicinity of this temperature and pressure, air closely follows perfect gas behavior. In other words, P1 x V1/T1 = P2 x V2/T2 Where P1, V1. and T1 are pressure, volume, and temperature at initial conditions and P2, V2, and T2 are pressure, vloume, and tmeoerature at some other condition. IMPORTANT: Temperatures must be in absolute degrees, ie, measured from absolute zero. Absolute zero for celsus is -273 C and for Farenheit, it is -460 F. Over a working range of 30 to 50 psi, automotive tires do not change volume by a significent amount. We have the following relationship: P1 V1/T = P2 V2/T2 For our tire problem, the volumes effectively cancel leaving: P2 / P1 = T2 / T1 Solving for temperature change given the pressure change: Shuffling the preceding equation gives: T2 = (P2 / P1) T1 For example, assuming that you tire was 60F (520 R) when cold, and given that the 2 pressures were 33 and 35 psi, we have T2 = (35/33) 520 R = 1.0606 x 520 = 551.5 R or 91.5 F [ add 460 to deg F to get absolute temperature.] [ add 263 to Deg C to get absolute Temperature on the celsus scale.] As you can see, pressure does vary with its temperature. In summer, I assume that the cold temperature is 60 to 70 F and inflate to the standard recommended pressure. When the tire is hot, the pressure will be higher. Knowing how the pressure changes with temperature, we can expect the pressure to fall in cold weather. The pressure change from 60 F to 20 F is 0.923 P1. A tire inflated to 33 psi at 60 F would read 30.5 at 20 F So, should you inflate to full presure in winter? Maybe. It all depends. If you expect the tire to go up to 100 F in operation. then inflate a bit on the low side. However, it has been my experience that properly inflated tires do not gain a lot of temperature in winter. At 30 F, I inflate my tires to near the recoomended pressure ( That's the pressure on the door sticker, not the max. pressure on the sidewall of the tire. The max. pressure on the sidewall of the tire is not its working pressure, but is the max pressure the tire should ever see. Some tire shops will take the tire up to its maximum pressure when mounting a tire and as soon as it has seated on the rim, the pressure should be reduced. When the tire has been pressurized beyond the sidewall marking, it can be damaged and sometimes this damage is not apparent, but may show about 6000 to 8000 miles later. Broken or stretched belts may show as a worn out center portion of the tread. Often, the tire shows unbalance at highway speed and the tire shop will not be able to balance this out becasue the tire changes shape at speed. Its a dangerous tire and should be discarded.)...See Moreohmyrakinback
