My 2011 grow list...what's your opinion...and your list?
Comments (71)I don't post here a lot, but I do on the Canadian forums. I lurk here :-) I don't grow a lot of tomato varieties but I do grow for quality. This year I have one plant, grown form a seed of the original Gordon Graham tomato. He has the world's record largest tomato according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Through good fortune and a friend, I was able to trade for just a few seeds from Gordon Graham's world record tomato. I got one to germinate, so I have one tomato plant that is a direct child of his original! I do grow other tomatoes but I'm really excited about this one! We had a very bad tomato year last year with lots of BER. This year I planted the tomatoes in my good lasagne "wine" garden, dug in lots of old manure, a little lime and one Tums tablet in each hole. The same friend who gave me the seeds above, told me that a Tums will help supply the calcium the tomatoes need to help prevent BER. So I'm trying it. It's easy and cheap, so I figured "Why not?" We'll see how it goes. Needless to say, I baby that plant! In addition to that one, I am also growing our own heritage Portugal beefheart tomatoes (see link to pic below), San Marzano, Manitoba, Ailsa Craig, and Rev Morrow long keeper.

Comments (7)About the problems feeding soy milk to babies. The plant hormones is a slight cause for concern, but the main problem is the difference the in lipids. Plant and cow hormones, while similar to human hormones, have not been shown to react with the human body enough to make you stop drinking milk. However, developing infants need a high amount of specific lipids (fats) in their diet to keep healthy. Plants do not make cholesterol and that is the MOST important lipid in human development. The correct proportions of fatty acids, triglycerides, and proteins human babies need are not found in soy milk. Additionally, the presence of non-mammalian proteins at high concentrations so early in life can easily initiate allergies (one reason soy allergies are common). Cow's milk has similar problems, but is much better for and can be digested more easily by infants. In simple terms, the closer the milk source is to mother's milk, the better it will be for babies. Usually the only pluses for soy milk are the price and when the baby is allergic to milk (unable to break-down milk sugar causing diarrhea, can lead to malnurishment and dehydration). Don't ask just one doctor, no matter how competent he/she is - ask several. I guess grad school did teach me something :o) Stephen...See MoreSoy Gel opinions?
Comments (1)I just did an old floor with the original unknown finish. I simply sanded with a rented random orbital sander and applied Waterlox, a tung oil finish. After sanding, I vacuumed and wiped the floor with paint thinner. Paint thinner did not seem to raise the grain of the wood. I have never used Soy Gel as a stripper. I think the floor looks wonderful and was a pleasant process....See Moreannie1992
