Definitely potentially very unsafe.

No, not all seeds but New Zealand spinach is definitely one that seems to benefit from it.

Soaking overnight before sowing helps.

Organic mulch is definitely the way to go, IMHO. An organic mulch not only suppresses weeds, it reduces erosion and compaction, enhances water infiltration and retention, moderates soil temperatures, improves soil structure, provides nutrients, benefits beneficial microbes & insects and it's usually cheap or free. Drip irrigation is another good idea that works great coupled with real mulch. Weedless Gardening by Lee Reich

I've been growing garlic since 1980. I usually only grow a couple cultivars but this year I have five, German Extra Hardy, Martin's Heirloom (Martin Longseth's namesake, not mine), Kettle River Giant, Inchelium Red and Dr. Pound.

Very nice, Shelby...and cute mouser!

Yes.

You can't safely count any residual nitrite in the bacon in terms of botulinum toxin control when smoking at low temperature because it's an unknown (and likely very low if recommended nitrite limits and a cure accelerators have been used) without laboratory analysis.

I use a grill basket placed directly on the coals. Anyway, here's the Alton Brown video.....

Can't remember this ever happening at the same meal but I can remember left-over rice or bread being converted into rice or bread pudding for subsequent meals even though dessert wasn't all that common at our house.

Caveat Emptor! It's marketing hype...just a label...take or leave it.

After criticism, Whole Foods defends food rating system...

Ketchup on a hot dog? Horrible flavor clash!!! I absolutely, positively never put ketchup on hot dogs! Never!!! My favorite dog: "Texas Hot"...beef dog, chili sauce, mustard, fresh chopped onion on a steamed roll!

We certainly do eat some meals together. My diet is somewhat restricted for health reasons (unfortunately) and the better half is picky...so it's just easier to prepare meals separately a good bit of the time.

I live with a very picky eater. I see no need to make a big deal of it. We eat most meals separately.

FWIW, Toma Verde is a fast-maturing cultivar.

Find some seeds and start some plants, it's not too late. We have about the same first and last frost dates here and I haven't started mine yet...there's still time.

No way!!! Kumato is Sygenta crap! I'll wait for the good stuff! "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

Same in this neck-of-the-woods. Folks have really opened up to new things. 20-25 years ago, most folks wouldn't look at a tomato unless it was a red oblate globe, red beefsteak or red cherry.

Thanks. I'm well aware of those markets. The farm (which I sold in December 2013) was about 55 miles from Ithaca...in Pennsylvania...too far for my farm business model.

Yeah, I think it's funny too! Ramps are an ubiquitous pedestrian food here, the woods at my farm were full of them! I wish I could have got $5 a bunch for them...let alone $16 a pound!!!! That's crazy!

I watched the first show a couple nights ago...I thought it was quite good.
