Oh really

So, reports are coming in that the tarballs showing up in NE Florida aren't from Macondo.  To that I say:

Edited to ad:  there is a report out that two scientists on some board are saying Corexit is safe.



And all I hear is this:

Updated garden pics

They're starting to take off now!

It's true...carrots love tomatoes...

Now, here is something interesting... the tomatoes in the back (closest to the camera) are called "Red grape" that I got from Victory seeds.  It said on the packet "do not direct seed."  Well, I direct seeded them, about 4 weeks behind starting the others indoors...and now look, they're as big, if not bigger than the rest...hmmm....

Potatoes to the left, yard long beans to the right (c'mon and grow you dirty dawgs!)

Finally!  They're hereeeee....

The Pennsylvania Red Leaf tobacco is totally kicking ass...

The okra (Clemson Spineless) is doing great in the beds...but not so well in the smart pots...which is cute, because they advertise (of course) that they're better than raised beds.  To be clear, the okra in the pot closest to the camera was planted the same day as the stuff in the beds.  Good to know.

Now to be fair, it looks likes my pumpkins are coming along just fine...  and it's intersting to note that, from left to right we have some hybrid plant that is supposed to produce gigantic fruits, the one in the middle is supposed to be standard Jack O'lantern size, and the one on the right is a smaller variety, some sugar type pumpkin for cooking. 

The oil is rounding third and heading for home!

Yesterday tar balls arrived in Crescent City Florida.



Remember this?




Looking pretty accurate.  Oil in Richmond, VA in a week or so anybody??

I hope people are paying attention to this, and acting...  it's going to get real ugly.

Watch 'em

Yeah I know I have a motivational pics page

But I actually did these up myself, and kinda like 'em, even if they are totally nooby.

I pickle they

Check out my beets!  More specifically Chioggia beets, tonight I will pickle they with some eggs.
