Let's talk horseraddish for a minute, please
Comments (10)Tami ohio, here's what mine looks like today in southern Ohio. Long thin stalks, with the leaf part about 2' long and 4-5"s across. Ours is planted by the gas well. We planted it when we moved here(the old home place in 2003). My cutting came from my grandmothers plant. She lived in Conn. and died in 1970, my aunt took a cutting and grew it, and my mother took one from her. She(mom)always took some with her when they moved. I got my cutting from my parents when they lived in Maine, 21 years ago. I have lived in two different houses since I've been in Ohio and it always comes with me. I didn't know it was so invasive! Our family has probably left a trail of unwanted horseraddish behind us! I have only made horseraddish once, it was with vinegar. I like to use it to make shrimp cocktail sauce. I really like the mayonnaise type of horseraddish sauce for beef but never bothered to look up a recipe so I buy it. There used to be a poster on this board who's DH and DS loved the vinegar type and made if often, I think they had it down to a science...the name eludes me. I think we both may have "heirloom" horseraddish! Hope you find it! Di...See MorePlease lets talk rose midge
Comments (30)I did not hear from Christopher or Moses. I reread what they wrote and this is what I understood. If the tip of a stem has a bud that is the size of a green pea or larger and is not infected then that stem is safe and will not get infected and does not have to be sprayed. If a stem does not have a bud or has a bud that is smaller than a pea then chances are that this stem will get infected and needs to be sprayed. One needs to spray only the upper 5 inches or so. I was able to procure some of the Safari granules that are to be dissolved in water and sprayed. Right or wrong I completely avoided spraying any bush that was actively blooming. I wore plastic disposable gloves and long dish washing gloves over that. I made only 1 lit of solution at a time and used a small hand held sprayer that is light and I can carry in one hand. I pulled out one stem at a time and sprayed the tips following the directions above. If a stem did have a small bud and I sprayed it, I cut the bud off. Washed the sprayer outside, threw my clothes in the wash and showered right away. I threw away inner and outer gloves. I sprayed 3 times about 10 days apart. I actually watched if I saw signs of reinfection and only then sprayed. After the third spraying I did not see any more midge. To me, it worked. I did not spray the surface of the mulch but applied a whole bunch of new mulch. I dont know what next season will bring. Dont really want to use insecticide.........See MoreLet’s talk diet(s)
Comments (68)There are so many false ideas promoted in the posting by Springroz. I have pursued physical fitness for 4 decades. I won't even attempt to link all the articles that de-bunk the loss of femininity due to exercise and weight lifting. There are too many to list. Just do a Google search on Testosterone and women. We have it and we need it and we can't do without it. As far as the idea of reducing movement to increase weight loss. I can't let this pass without citing at least one link. Again please do your research. There isn't ANYTHING worse for the human body than reduced movement and exercise. Nothing. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3567319/. https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/downloads/growing_stronger.pdf...See MoreLet's Talk Robotic Vacuums Again
Comments (22)I am sorry to say that the eury is being returned. It is a definite fail for us. Pros: VERY quiet, low profile so it fits better under furniture, returns accurately to the base when finished, it doesn’t make annoying sounds like the Neato did, it’s fast, the battery seems very good. Cons: it doesn’t even have enough power to get over a very low threshold from my kitchen to living room (we give it a little boost with our foot and the it goes in a few feet and turns around and goes back into the kitchen. Grrr), it doesn’t have enough power to do the rug well, it’ll zoom right on by a dust bunny and never come back to get it, it has a very small dust bin but it doesn’t need to be emptied as often as it would if it was doing a good job. So, unfortunately, it’s back to the drawing board....See Morerosecanadian
