Just a few rants and raves
Comments (19)I use the Miracle Grow plus perlite and vermiculite and my plants LOVE it. I am the one who doesn't. Here's why: the Miracle Grow has fertilizer (which according to the bag lasts for about 30 days) and the only perlite I can find is also Miracle Grow with fertilizer. My plants are wicked and I have to do like Barbara said and use plain water for a couple of months or the plants show serious signs of over-fertilization. I don't repot all of my plants at once, so when watering I have to keep track of when the plants were repotted so I know whether to use plain water or fertilizer water and I also have to be careful not to mix the wrong plants together on the trays. It would be easier for me not to have to keep track of which plants get which water. Pretty lazy, huh? Kate, if your plants are happy with what you are doing I wouldn't change anything. Your plants and other conditions might be different from mine, for example, your perlite might not have fertilizer in it and that might make the difference....See MoreIsis Candy-Rave or Rant?
Comments (12)I can't speak from growing experience, but I can speak from eating experience. I thought they were great. They have a nice, bright, fruity flavor, and are sweet, juicy - but not overly so, and with just enough acid to make them interesting. The farm stand from which I bought them had rather bland offerings of other tomatoes (Cherokee Purple wasn't particularly sweet nor flavorful, and I have had some AMAZING CP's from other places...), so I figured that if, amongst their mediocre tomatoes, Isis Candy stood out and tasted nice, it could taste even better grown/cared for if in a different environment/with a different gardener. I saved a lot of seeds from the ones I purchased, and hope to grow them next year. For the record, if you're wondering how my tastes run so that you can compare to your own, Cherokee Purple is, hands down, my favorite tomato. Sungold is my favorite cherry (but it seems to be everyone else's too, lol), with Isis Candy coming in second - but to be fair, there are a lot of cherry varieties that I've never had the pleasure of putting in my mouth....See MoreA Rave and a rant
Comments (18)Interesting, why would someone's transgender status need to be mentioned on a cooking show? Isn't just a fact of their life, like, I dunno, eye color, and doesn't have a bearing on their cooking ability? I imagine it's a difficult life to lead, so maybe it is necessary to mention to help the rest of us become more familiar with it and not view it as outside the mainstream. But without watching the show mentioned, I'm curious how it comes up. What's GWTW? First a disclaimer: I am a fan of the Simpson's. I know many are put off by the humor but I find *most* of it clever and funny. Even though I still enjoy that show, I am more and more disturbed by much of what I find on tv. I guess I've become more prudish or something but I just don't see the need for so much sex talk and drug use references and crudeness. Of course, I have the option, which I exercise, to change the channel or turn the tv off. But why is it necessary on show after show after show? When is Downton Abbey coming back?! I'll finally have something, besides the Simpson's, that I enjoy. Somewhat related to crudeness on tv: can someone tell me why in every pix I see of Miley Cyrus, she's sticking out her tongue? Is that suppose to be sexy? Funny? I don't understand why an attractive young woman would make such an unattractive face, over and over again....See MoreAmeradoor - rants or raves?
Comments (5)It seams that even Little boys Needs a soap box. I think bloggs are great... However I think people should be accountable for there comments. Mr pondarosabooboob is a liar. He did order from our company. He did get what he ordered. However he said he ordered the wrong item. He wined so much till the order taker gave him his replacement doors at a good discount. After he received them he decided he wanted his money back. "NOT A CHANCE". you can post all the lies you want you little wheeze. We know the truth. We stand behind our product 100% We also stand behind Principal....See MoreIdaClaire
