How man ears of corn do you average?
Comments (10)I will find out for you. Just some generic seed from the shop up the road. I will try to work out how to send you a photo. I am new to this forum. Also......I counted 5 ears on one plant. That is if I get a small ear of the side-shoot. Keep in mind the weather here in the far south of Australia. Days of 80-90 degree full sun followed by massive rains. (Current weather)....maybe that is why they have done well. John...See MoreHow do you cook sweet potato leaves?
Comments (16)Love asian sweet potatoes. I have a couple of Japanese varieties in my garden. Here in S. Florida they are perennial, so when the vines start getting longish, I strip most of the leaves to eat except the very end, stick the cuttings in water until they have nice roots and then plant them out, so there is an endless supply of new plants. I put the leaves (including the leaf stems) in stir fry & soups. I also lightly sauteed some in toasted sesame oil with just salt, and that was delicious. The vines themselves are very sweet, but fibrous. They ooze a sweet whitish sap. Could probably extract the sweetness by chopping up then boiling and discarding the fibers, or running the stems through a juicer....See MoreHow do you find a good Seller's RE Agent?
Comments (8)I used to sell real estate myself so knew some of what to look (and look out) for. We sold our house last year and I had a wonderful experience with a seller's agent but you have to do your homework. We almost went with the buyer's agent that we had for our new purchase (we owned two homes for awhile) as he worked out well for that purpose BUT when it came to us selling, it wasn't going well from the get go. It was a difficult decision as we had developed a more personal relationship but we ended up going with someone else just prior to us listing. Remember this is a business transaction. We interviewed several applicants (they were getting a hefty commision off of $500,000). Knowing that the MLS is in their favor, we talked commissions and what they would do. The realtor that I found was one in which I had posted directly to where we would be the selling agent and they would be the buyer's agent in which we would save on a commission. He called and it was his energy over the phone that I allowed him some time to come over and talk with us (ask anyone that knows me, I'm not an easy sale). Though he was young, his hungriness to get the listing was unmistakable. I called up his referrals and I asked what made him stand out (which proved very true for us too). We hired him. When filling out the contract he actually talked us into a higher sales price then we thought we should go (which we leveraged with giving him a higher commission if he pulled it off. By the way the other realtors that gave us estimates didn't think they could go quite that high. All this was AFTER we had decided on him not before (some people get swood by someone that can get more for their house). He was so adamant though, we figured we'd try it at the higher price. End result, we had a bidding war over the house and sold it within a week for basically the full price! Throughout the week, he emailed us a few times a day and talked to us as appropriate. We were informed at ever turn. In fact his son was born the day the 3 offers came in and you wouldn't have thought he missed a beat (though we felt a bit guilty). Though we had others that were more seasoned realtors, they seemed tired and mechanical. Go with a true salesman but make sure you follow up with their references. Good luck...See MoreHow do you prepare leaves that have been mailed to you?
Comments (2)I dip them in 1/4 solution of Clorax for a minute or 2, rinse, recut the stem a bit, wrap in a wet towel and keep the towel vertically in a glass or jar - so the bottom gets extra soaking, but the leaves are not submerged, may be only the ends of the stems. This way - you can keep them overnight - if they came really limp - like from overseas. Inspect the leaves - trim all damaged areas. Sometimes it is so damaged - you can only save a wedge from a leaf - it will also root and give you a baby - but much slower. If the leaves are more or less OK - after the Clorax - you can let them float a bit in a sugar solution - just a pinch of sugar per bowl of tepid water - and/or several drops of Superthrive. If you harvest your own leaves and pot them immediately - it is not necessary - but if they are stressed from the road - why not? Good Luck Irina...See MoreLinda
