Stupice--So good and so bad...
Comments (16)I used to grow Stupice and prefer Matina which is a look alike in all ways except I think the taste is better and it too is early and productive and have tried Kimberly and Bloody Butcher as well. But what I currently like the best is Moravsky Div, which is very early and for me has great taste. There were four different Stupicka's developed in Czechoslovakia, two for outdoor growing and two for glass house growing. At another site there's been a very long thread about Moravsky Div and there appears to be some agreement with research done with Moravoseed and other places in Europe that Moravsky Div may be one of the indoor ones but grows great outside as well. In my experience the fruits of MD are a bit smaller than conventional Stupice or Matina but the taste is much much better and it has performed well for me in my area all summer. Below is a link to Tania's T-base for seed sources and I was the source of seed to Glecklers, Jeff Casey, Sandhill and Victory Seeds, where I usually send the best of what I've grown each year. I also send to Linda Sapp at TGS but she's very behind in trialing varieties right now. Glenn Drowns comment at Sandhill amused me b/c he notes in his catalog/website that he put out 4 inch transplants and had fruits 43 days later.

Comments (8)One thing, I'd hope you remember--medical science has advanced by leaps and bounds since your dd was a child. I know, even with a procedure my DH had about 5 years ago, and had to have repeated this year, there was vast improvement. I'd be willing to bet that the treatment today is better and hopefully more effective than what you were told many years ago. Wishing your daughter the best. As to your other news--Fantastic, the very best to you and your children....See MoreGood pest or bad? Help!
Comments (1)I first noticed these about a month ago in the soil, some white and some brown like this one. They appeared when I watered the plant. The plant seems healthy, she's put out a few new leaves the past month. I think they are soil mites as I can't see any on the actual plant. Are these pests something to worry about? If so what's the best way to get rid of them? Posted pic below...See MoreWhen good libraries go bad?
Comments (53)Based on your second link, Oakley, it's a 1630s town house in the Place des Victoires, Paris, designed by London designer Hugh Henry from Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi. Interestingly, the London-based homeowner met Henry when David Mlinaric worked on her parents' houses. From the ID's website, https://mhzlondon.com/wp-content/uploads/mhz_magazines/magazine_199/House-Garden-January-2012-article.pdf From the architect's website, http://www.cs-lb.fr/victoires-triplex/ The other rooms look to be more decorated in a more restrained, simpler style. Lovely house....See Morewantonamara Z8 CenTex
