Comments (2)You should be able to grow most herbs, hostas and try some zinnias. You are probly geting refective light off the buildings....See MoreID this vine & vegetable plant (possibly both vegetables?)
Comments (4)Thank you! This was one of the major reasons I wanted to identify the plants. I'll transplant it to a separate container. I'm not sure if I should keep the plant or not, since it's poisonous, but it's already on a raised area where animals can't get to it....See MoreClimate change, Water crisis, food shortage??
Comments (8)This is a huge opportunity for farming all over the country. Like someone else said, fruit and vegetable growing is shifting back east. There are however, things we won't be able to grow in New Jersey or Kansas such as avocadoes and pistaschios. This doesn't mean the collapse of California's huge agrobusiness and I wouldn't want to see that. But, here's a chance for farmers in states like mine (Kansas) to grow fruit and vegetables that traditionally have not been grown here because of the tradition of growing grain crops and meat animals. In a lot of states, this is going to be a challenge to break up the old models of agriculture and that will need to start with pressure on the Land Grant Universities to be more proactive in helping farmers diversify their crops. Getting people to think outside of the box is the hardest part, but it can, and will be done as farmers realize the potential markets that are out there. There will always be the army of experts and spin doctors that will come up with all kinds of reasons not to think this through, but that's with any kind of change....See MoreEggo shortage, I don't get it!
Comments (63)LOL, Bubbe. In the past I've milked the cow, boiled sap for syrup and I still bake my own bread for toast. I draw the line at growing the wheat though. I have purchased some from a neighbor occasionally, but one the the local "agri-tourism" places has an old mill and I can buy grains freshly ground. I've never eaten an Eggo waffle. The Monkey Princess loved the ones with a picture of Hannah Montana on them, and I think that was an Eggo brand, but I think it had nothing to do with flavor. Bruvver is an eating machine and will eat anything that won't bite back, and maybe some things that will, so I'm not asking him. I have my VillaWare waffle iron that bakes waffles in the shape of pigs, cows, chickens and barns. When I make waffles I make extra and freeze them, the grandkids happily eat them toasted but again, I don't think it has anything to do with flavor, it has to do with wanting to "eat a cow" or whatever. Amanda also makes extra, but she usually just keeps them in the refrigerator and they're gone in a couple of days. Her family likes breakfast for supper or lunch, so she'll warm up the leftover pancakes, make some sausage and the kids have lunch the next day. I also freeze pancakes and french toast and muffins because I don't like the "white flour" versions as well as I like the whole grain versions. Can't get the Princess to eat those either, anything that "brown" is suspect, as is anything with something green in it, like zucchini bread. Put syrup on it and Bruvver would eat a fence post! I am absolutely never going to buy those frozen pb&j sandwiches, though, that's just gone too far. Who can't make a pb&j? Annie...See Moremama goose_gw zn6OH
