Don't Forget Your Peas!
Comments (38)I've always direct sown my peas in the garden mid to late May. They grow so fast they always have enough time to produce before the heat of the summer sets in. If you choose to ws, I'd plant in individual cups that can be spaced apart. My sis-in-law planted a flat of them early indoors last year and ended up with a tangled mess by the time she could plant them out. I think they literally grow inches a day. :)...See MoreFlower Show Marathon: Philly Next, but Don't Forget 'Springfest'!

Comments (81)Yesterday's network news describes a rescue of a toddler locked in a closed car in a Kansas parking lot (very hot weather too). Video shows a woman attempting to smash and open up the auto safety glass with a tire iron. Safety glass is intentionally designed to NOT break open from relatively blunt impacts. However it will explode when a fine point is sudden forced against it (there is a sweet spot as well as areas that are less likely to yield). I have a spring punch in my center console, but a neighbor has the ResQMe product and I'm going to buy a couple of those since that device also has a seatbelt cutting tool and fits onto a keychain. (Someone at a B Q showed me his very cinched tight seatbelt from an auto accident -- I don't know how anyone was supposed to release that belt after it tensioned so tightly. Links: toddler rescue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=57fc1PWqXOE Keychain Rescue Tool (glass breaker seatbelt cutter) There are a number of devices that have a pointed steel tip. When tapped against auto safety glass (or when the spring loaded tip of the ResQMe type is put against the glass and released), the safety glass will shatter. Even a spring loaded "punch" sold at Hardware stores can work. ResQme http://www.esafetysupplies.com/ResQMe-Keychain-Rescue-Tool.html?gclid=CJyfzJ-j7MYCFcWPHwodxWsGOg Oh, one more thing: the comments on the YT video are not thought out. And as far as (cell phone or purse being) "...more important than a child," nonsense. The idea behind it is this -- as an added layer of safety (leaving something you usually take with you from the car, in the back seat close to the baby/child), is aimed at addressing the many of us imperfect humans, who can momentarily become distracted. If we _routinely_ grab our cell phone, briefcase, purse or laptop, but do not routinely have a young one with us, this technique may help prevent a child from being forgotten in a car. If, once at the office (wherever), a purse, laptop or mobile phone need could have us racing to a parking lot. With regard to the kid's invention. People can jury rig a similar setup. Marine suppliers sell thin, UV resistant bungee cord by the foot as well and easily attached hooks or fasteners to secure to the ends. Another summer safety topic is children drowning (it is silent and quick), diving accidents, grills or bonfires (never put volatile fuel or starter on anything but a cold wood, propane or charcoal grill), and boating accidents. Just be aware. If they were planned, they wouldn't call these sad mistakes "accidents."...See MoreDon't forget rabbit rabbit! - 10/31
Comments (34)Not sure if this is good or bad luck. After I typed the above I went to the kitchen to feed the dogs, and when I looked down I saw what appeared to be a bit of cat throw-up. I grabbed a paper towel and scooped it up, and since I always look to make sure the throw-up is normal, what I picked up was a half dead scorpion in a little bit of dust! DS sprayed between the dishwasher and cabinet where I saw spiders come out of, so the scorpion must have walked through the barrier line. I can't believe I didn't get stung, the poison must have gotten his tail first. :) We don't spray where animals or humans walk....See MoreIdaClaire
