What is the secret to growing vigorous spinach?
Comments (16)Spinach earns its reputation as the "Prince of vegetables" here in So Cal. A number of different types have been trialed and the results were always the same for me. The weather swings during the growing season can be extreme and will cause spinach to instantly bolt. I've even had small seedlings ready to plant out suddenly decide to bolt. Planting in pots and moving to shade during a hot spell led to the same results. What you have to do is ask yourself how important spinach is to you. If it's very important you will need to keep a steady stream of successive seedlings going. If you like cooked spinach you will need to grow a large amount I love spinach, but I've settled on a one or two plantings approach in late fall through winter with swiss chard, mustard spinach, and mizuna mustard added to the mix. The mustard and chard are sure fire as cut and come again, while the spinach works best as an all at once crop. We use spinach mostly as a salad addition and as a bed for grilled seafood. The not too spicy mustards, chard and spinach work very well for these purposes.

Comments (18)Seysonn is correct. Use plenty of lime. All the vinegar will react. You need to keep stirring until no more bubbles of gas are given off. At that point all the acid in the vinegar has been used up. Let the stuff settle and you can pour off the liquid leaving the excess lime in the jar. You can pour more vinegar over it and repeat the process. If you want, you can buy Foli-Cal: http://www.montereylawngarden.com/product_information.aspx?242000p=f57d7b74-c030-4e60-b13d-2763bed4b322&240000p=7dd648e8-a73c-4a82-8d60-3bcdc816a4f9 The Dolomitic Lime in the witches brew also provides Magnesium, which isn't in the Foli-Cal. Smoke thinks the stuff gets peppers to set buds faster....See MoreSecret Beauty Secrets
Comments (98)I wish that Savlon was available in the US. I guess I could buy it off of Amazon. This is a great thread, it's so old though, probably most of the products suggested have been discontinued...HA! My best beauty SECRET is something I just heard about a few months ago and have been doing it ever since. While watching an older (62) youtuber (what exactly do you call these people?) she was speaking of beauty tricks and she told us that years ago, she heard a plastic surgeon say that if women would do this exercise daily, they would never need a face lift. So of course I started do this since I'm in my fifties now. What you do is make a face as if you are smiling as big as you can possibly smile, teeth together but lips apart, you tighten your neck and raise your eyebrows. Do this for 15 seconds, release and do again 10 times a day. Since I have been doing this exercise, I have noticed a remarkable change in my saggy jawline. I have also noticed that my eye lids aren't as saggy either. I will continue to do this forever! I'm sold!...See MoreWhat is the secret to growing Choy sum?
Comments (1)Plant in late summer for fall harvest. Spring is always terrible, I never have luck with spring crops, I managed to get a few snow peas each year, before the burn of summer. This year wasn't too different, though it was slightly more productive. You may also want to try different variants. Komatsu, is a close relative, which I've had slightly better luck with....See Morejerijen
