Could someone please help identify this squash/gourd??
Comments (1)It is probably just an ornamental gourd they come in all shapes and sizes. Feel free to email me you can get my email address from my user page. By the way gardening merit badge was my favorite one to earn and I am very proud to be an Eagle Scout....See Morelittle bluestem help
Comments (5)I am growing plugs of native grasses from seed for meadow gardens I am creating and to intermix in a small meadow area. These are very easy to start from seed. Using the winter-sowing technique, I sowed the seed in small hunks in 2 liter soda bottles. Grew a nice little bushy clump, which can be planted outright or divided into smaller plugs. I bought the seed from Prairie Nursery last winter. Could not believe the quantity of seed! Thousands of seeds! There is no way I can use it all and would be happy to share some with you for a SASBE. (sasbe = self-addressed stamped bubble envelop) Send me an email if interested. The native prairie grasses are warm season grasses, so they won't sprout until it warms up in the Spring. My experience was that they did not need cold stratification. I sowed Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Sorghastrum nutans, and Boutelouea curtipendula on April 12th. All 4 species sprouted within 10-12 days. We had some nice warm Spring weather last April, which helped the seeds to sprout quickly. Here is a pic of the prairie grasses. They are growing in the bottoms of 2 liter soda bottles, which I cut off and removed the tops once after last frost....See MoreBald Eagles
Comments (18)Since DDT was banned, the eagles have returned. It took a long time for the poisons to purge out of the Great Lakes, but now eagles may be seen often along the shores of the Great Lakes. They like to scout for dead fish on the shore, but sometimes they will go after ducks in the river. I have a lot of information about the return of eagles, peregrine falcons and ospreys in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes. Eagles have returned to other regions of the U.S. and Canada as well. Here is a link that might be useful: The Dynamic Great Lakes...See MoreMichael Vick signs with the Eagles
Comments (63)I'm afraid I don't see how someone can do things such as that and not realize what they're doing or seeing. I do believe it's probably just part of a culture that he was raised in, but something's gotta be missing inside with people who can do those sorts of things and not have it register somewhere. I also don't think someone can just change that type of thinking so Quickly. Maybe there are intense programs in prison? It just doesn't seem too plausible to me. It would take a lot of time and reprogramming to reach that point, imo. Hopefully he's at least on his way. I did not see the interview to really see how much progress he claims to have made. I also don't understand the connection to NFL, with regards to people's outrage. I can sort of see what people are saying, but I still see them as separate. I don't believe in shunning or bullying people. He's out of prison now, as far as punishment goes, and he needs to move on. Hopefully forward. If someone wants to hire him, then that's their business. I don't see it as some sort of a reward for bad behavior. Apparently he does what he does well, so that's why he's back. I'm not sure why his salary was reduced as it was -- from ~$134 million down to ~$1.6 million (the numbers may not be completely accurate). Specifically why? To offset potential losses due to public outrage? Cause they could manage to keep a whole lot of money? It's really not their job to punish him further, so I don't quite get that. But, what I think would have been really great, since they did reduce his salary, is if they had put all that money to good use working on animal protection and rights. $132 million. It would have been demonstrable if he'd actually offered to do it, but still quite something if the NFL had, as their own statement and support....See Morewoodie
