Braved it at 24 hours and turned the beast over. I was able to work the top lip and take out the mold. I sprayed it and put it in plastic. There is a large crack along one half of one side along the bottom side joint. It only shows from the inside.. I think the side and top did not adhere as much maybe due to a slump.... It might still be strong enough?? Hope so. It looks great!

I told her I couldn't wholesale processed food, only fresh fruits/veggies. I definitely need to check into the consignment thing, I had wondered in the past if I could "rent" shelf space from another farmer who had a farm store. But I was really wondering about the 25% commission. Seems high? I know clothing, furniture, etc. consignment is that high, but that's either expensive stuff that takes up a lot of room (furniture) or stuff that you're just trying to get rid of b/c it doesn't fit any more (both/either) so it's not the same as something the consignor is actually trying to make a profit on.

I can now say I have made the pilgrimmage to Harry's and what an absolutely fabulous spot he has created. Even this late in the fall, the place looks stunning. Thanks again for sharing your time Harry. We enjoyed some Ross Sapote which exceeds the canistel in texture by a substantial margin. Unfortunately the seed saved was discarded by accident but alas, we'll work on getting some more. I also was able to visit Fairchild and the Fruit and Spice Park on the same trip. F&S was looking very good. Managed to get seed from a queen guava, cinnamon apple (sapote family) and ice cream bean. Mamey sapotes found onthe ground were not ripe. Sapodilla trees were loaded but not ready. With their "you can eat it if it has fallen to the ground policy" in place, much things become impossible. By the time a jackfruit falls to the ground it would seem to be gone too far. Longan were all over the ground but finding one that was edible was next to impossible. I bought some black sapotes from Fairchild 2 weeks ago but they failed to ripen before we left so still haven't tasted that one... All in all it was a great experience.

I too am concerned with shipping and the method of delivery of Azodyl. My first shipment came during 80 degree weather and it was warm inside the container. I am though a firm believer in Probiotics. I had success with my cat by switching to human grade Probiotics at the local health store but I have to open the capsules and mix them food. fyi, Bonito flakes helped my cat's appetite. As I take probiotics, I tried ingesting the Azodyl as a test. I did not have the same reaction and Azodyl gave me lots of gas. I am also 100% sure that Anti-oxidants help quite a bit. My cat responded extremely well to Ubiquinol (bought it at costco in liquid form because it tastes good, I also take it regularly) Important to note the distinction between COQ10 and Ubiquinol as for senior animals Ubiquinol is more easily absorbed. Resverestrol in the form of Vivix. Also a liquid form, note that it can stain very easily http://www.lef.org/protocols/kidney_urinary/kidney_disease_02.htm Vitamin E/Omega complex : Need a fat soluble anti-oxidant. The portions givenare of course calculated for my animal. NOTE VERY IMPORTANT: As cat owners we think that vomiting is natural but for a CRF animal vomiting can rob of all the electrolytes in the animal specifically potassium. Be sure to keep your cat free of fur and take fast action if the cat vomits. Here is a link that might be useful: another forum with same topic
