ITS THE VAN WADE METHOD .... oops it should be rather common with peeps who want to maintain streaked breeders .. simply ripping out green reversions ... the idea is to not disturb the roots ... green is always the dominant ... and will overtake an otherwise colored part .... how fast is usually the key ... on a tiny babe.. disturbing the roots.. and then separating it.. will.. in most instances.. led to loss of the good part ... in my experience anyway .. as i tend to forget about the TLC needed somewhere over summer .. ken

I've never used a recipe for meatloaf and wonder if anyone else makes it ad hoc every time. I start with 2 eggs, beaten, and crumbled end pieces of bread that I've saved in the freezer. I add some milk and a large squirt of ketchup. Then I put in adobo and dried oregano, basil, and thyme (sometimes I add other herb combos). I mix that up well and then add about 2 1/2 lbs. of 80 percent lean ground beef and diced onions and green bell pepper that I've sauteed in olive oil and cooled. I salt and pepper the meat, add some extra olive oil and mix it all together. I form it into a large loaf, cover it with tomato sauce and cook it in a baking dish at 375 for about an hour or slightly more. It has a lot of liquid it it when it comes out of the oven and is juicy and delicious. Sometimes I get a better do than other times but it's always very good.

Jury still out. I like certain aspects of individual varieties like Sparx but for my Market sales I've had to bunch 2 heads together when selling with comparable larger headed varieties. I'm re growing now and will likely continue to grow these but I'm waiting for positive customer feedback. I like almost all romaine varieties for summer-long growing and I do like crisp texture that they have. My favorites will still be larger headed ones like Magenta and Cherokee.

Hubby and I both tried the oils CBD and THC and it didn't work for us. We wanted it for anxiety mostly and to help us sleep. He didn't have much pain, from his cancer so that wasn't an issue. I didn't like the taste of it......tastes strongly of a pine tree. I'd put a few drops in a drink, hubby put a few drops under his tongue----the preferred method. My brother has pain in his knees and I gave the rest of the oil to him. Didn't help him either. One time I took a few drops, when I hadn't taken it for a while. You're supposed to go into it gradually.....start with 2 drops and work your way up over a period of time. I put my usual 5 drops in my drink and I was bouncing off the walls going to bed, the room was spinning, I thought I was having a heart attack or stroke or something. I laid in bed and the room was spinning there too. Wow, if that's a good time, people that take this stuff can have it. I hated it, and was terrified. I hate not having control of my body and mind.
