Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

It’s a doggy dog world.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Second rate reporter says what?

Please don’t feed the bears.

White supremacy is terrorism.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

Everybody saw this coming.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

When we show up, we win.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Sunday Morning Open Thread

by Anne Laurie|  June 12, 20116:51 am| 56 Comments

This post is in: Garden Chats, Open Threads

FacebookTweetEmail

Commentor Jharp suggested, quite reasonably, that if we’re going to talk about our gardens every Thursday evening, we could also include pictures. He even sent along the first photo, of his pepper patch, for this week’s post.

So… if you have garden pics you want to share… email me a .jpeg (click on my name near the top of the right-hand column) and I’ll include them in my next ‘Thursday Garden Chat’ post. Any week I get more than five or six new photos, I’ll put up an extra ‘Sunday Garden Chat’ post as well. Consider yourselves challenged!

(Top photo is some of the random heirlooms from my last summer’s garden, which I believe has appeared on BJ before, but I’m not much of a photographer.)

Apart from that, what’s on the agenda for a (rainy, here in New England) summer Sunday?

    Good morning.

    My garden is doing well, especially for this location. Tomatoes and peppers are blooming.

    I’m trying a few very mild jalapenos in order to use in soups. I like the flavor of these peppers but am such a wimp when it comes to the hot stuff. If they produce well, I’d like to preserve them somehow so I’ll have them in the winter. Don’t know yet how to do that. Freezer space is almost nothing and I really don’t have the facilities for canning. I guess that leaves drying, in the humid Ohio weather.

    Any suggestions?

    If all goes well, I shall have more tomatoes than I know what to do with. Right now I have 8 plants (Brandywine, Black Pearl, Lemon Boy, Campbell, Bonnie Best, a yellow pear, a beefsteak variety, and a cherry variety). I have some Sun Golds still too young and tender for transplanting outside; I started them late. The cats got into the first tray of seedlings and attempted to add fertilizer with disastrous results. Pissed me off, since those are the ones I’m most excited about. I still hope to get a bit of fruit from them before the season is over.

    I also have one random pepper plant, but nothing else. Everything thing else I’ve ever planted has fallen victim to either rabbits or squirrels, so I don’t even try anymore.

    ETA: I take that back. I have a couple pots of herbs, and a massive amount of basil seedlings. There will be pesto this summer, oh yes, there will be.

    We bought one of those hanging tomato plants, which was working great. We’ve had three large green tomatoes and two small ones so far. And then, right when the tomatoes started turning orange, the birds started gutting them. This is our first adventure in growing, so how do we keep the birds from getting the tomatoes before we do?

    Anne Laurie

    June 12, 2011 at 8:17 am

    @Belafon (formerly anonevent): What’s worked for me is giving the varmints (chipmunks/squirrels, in my garden) an alternate source of water. I’m guessing the birds punctured your green tomatoes for the fluid, not the flavor. At the suggestion of a more experienced gardener, I took a couple of surplus plastic pot saucers (the 12″ diameter, 2″ deep kind) and put them on the ground next to the plants I’d be watering, so it was easy to keep them topped up. I’ve seen birds as well as small mammals drinking from the saucers on many occasions, and I haven’t had a problem with punctured ‘maters ever since!

    We didn’t do any planting this spring; just too darn busy and then it got so hot all of a sudden. Next year I’m going to try those container thingies somebody posted about here a few weeks ago.

    Weeding and feeding. Maybe cut down an oak that is shading part of the expanded garden. Probably do that tomorrow when the wife isn’t here so she won’t worry. We have run out of straw in this neck of woods (bad year, none in 3 counties) so I am having to get creative on mulching. Tomatos looking good, had to pull up 4 peppers that had TMV. Eggplant got badly infested with something it took me awhile to get under control, they look sickly but they should recover. Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts are growing, we will see how they produce (some years OK, others not) Beans and corn are doing well so far. My melons and squash all look stunted. Not sure why. Probably soil related.

    Last year was the first year here and I had no time for the garden, basically stuck some plants in some of the clayiest ground I have ever seen (we grow really good rocks up here, a bumper crop every year) and hoped they would grow. This year I added 4 inches of compost (9 pu loads) to the entire garden and it has really helped. Also manure and bone meal around the plants. I figure I will have to do the same the next 2 years as well before I will call my dirt “soil’.

    Or it could be that I am a very amateur gardener. :-)

    My entire garden is a deck garden. I have 3 large patio tomato plants and 2 cherry tomato plant. There are 3 bell peppers and 2 banana peppers. The rest are Swiss chard, broccoli, spinach and my herbs. With all the rain we had, they have all grown very well.
    Dreary and a bit chilly here today. The only plans are to go grocery shopping and amuse the dog after G goes to work this afternoon. He’s off of unemployment and 1 month into his new job. Yeah!!

    OH MY STARS! It rained 3 tenths of in inch on my part of the Cumberland Plateau last night! It had not rained at all for 12 days and hand watering was essential–but I have a large garden and all of my rain barrels were empty. I started crying when I heard the spatter on the roof. The heat is wearing me down–every day my little plants look sad–and I haven’t even planted the Silver Queen and Kentucky Wonders because it was just too dry.

    Other mulch options I have used: put some cardboard down between the rows; old carpet or rugs (but be mindful of composition, especially the backing material); shredded newspaper works well but wet it right after you put it down; plastic mulches work well with tomatoes, cukes, and melons; untreated saw dust if you can get it, especailly if it has been used in horse stalls–the richest.

    Tending two raised beds down in coastal Texas area. We built the beds in response to the awful clay soil and so far have had a winter, spring and now summer garden with some overlaps. Peppers- red, jalapeño and habanero for eating and pickling- are doing well. The heirloom tomatoes were started from seed and while slow to grow are making steady progress; the store-bought beefsteak plant is thriving. Brussells sprouts have been decimated by some unseen nibblers; I’ve tried insecticidal soap with no luck. Cukes are middling; carrots were tremendous (though not as sweet as I’d hoped, might try a diff variety next year) and the okra looks hopeful. I want to pickle those as well; we shall see what the harvest brings. The drought isn’t helping; guess Icky Ricky’s prayers fell on deaf ears. Again.

    Busy trying to book hotels for a friend’s wedding in a couple of weeks time but it’s kind of tricky since I’m here in the UK and the wedding is in tsunami-hit Sendai in Japan. The webpages of the first few hotels I’ve tried are reporting they’re booked solid, another possible is closed due to earthquake damage. I’m starting to think about 24-hour internet cafes and tents…

    My fallback is to stay down in the Tokyo area and catch an early-morning shinkansen up for the wedding which is taking place in the shrine at Sendai Castle at noon. The train schedules for that route is still somewhat messed up but according to the temporary timetable on the Web it looks like I can manage it with a bit of time to spare (Omiya – Sendai is about 290km which the train covers in 1hr 40min). Japan Rail — banzai!

    My neice just came here from Sendai for her sisters wedding. Give up on hotels there, I told her I would like to come visit and she said the school where she works can find a room for me and the wife. Also forget about sushi in Sendai. She says all the good sushi in Sendai got washed out to sea.

    Some of the tomatoes are 5-6 inches tall. Lettuces are a week or two away from harvesting. The broccoli raab shot up. We’ve had a few cool days after the heat wave–yesterday was about 40 degrees cooler than the previous Saturday–and I’m not sure how much we’ll warm up. At least it’s sunny today.

    Gonna see Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Orchestra at Ravinia tonight. Not the world’s greatest jazz fan, but I have always wanted to see Marsalis live so taking the plunge.

    Chipotle chilies are smoked and dried jalapenos. The unique combination of smoky flavor with peppery heat makes these perfect for so many uses. They can be put in soups, sauces and beans or ground into a fine powder and added to spice rubs or sprinkled over vegetables.

    Here in Orange County I am nurturing my corn plants, and just planted pole beans- next week I put in squash, to accompany them.

    Got a late start on my tomatoes, so I only have blossoms now.

    Only my third year gardening in earnest, so I am still discovering what works and doesn’t- but have become a zealous convert to straw mulching. In a semiarid climate, it works wonders at holding moisture in the soil.

    Nobody is saying that these women were in the right by sitting and eating their doughnuts on a bench in a playground rather than a park, they weren’t, but should the police have jumped to give them a summons so quickly? What do you think?

    Well, I think you should be allowed to eat a doughnut at a playground instead of a park. It would have never occurred to me that such a stupid law existed. I guess that makes me an anarchist.

    The mint and thyme are the only two things really flourishing right now. But i just saw a recipe for strawberry shortcake using just those two herbs, on Food Network.

    Just a short note to say I enjoy this section. One thing that would help if you mentioned where you are. Somebody said their tomatoes were five or six inches tall and another said they were planting taters. Here in Lousiana my tomatoes are five or six feet tall and I dug my taters over a month ago. I have picked around forty bell peppers and my cantaloups are a few days from ripeness. I picked about three pounds of green beans, then the electric fence went down and the deer got about ninety percent of the rest. I have already picked all my corn and am a few days from being inundated with tomatoes.
    We store our peppers by slicing them, putting them into water until it boils and then freezing until needed.

    Over the year, I will have pics. I have no idea how the garden will produce: 2nd yr here. Last year sucked.

    In the midst of an otherwise great weekend, I came to find out that my stupid fucking redneck divorcing white trash neighbor let his dog die from the heat about ten days ago, I came to learn today. The dog was not on a good trajectory, and was destined to be put down for behavioral reasons. I know that his mother must have been lying about coming to feed and water him daily (or he’d been getting inadequate provision), but it bugs the shit out of me that this happened 100 feet from my garage and he never asked me to look out for the animal, nor did he tell me he’d be out of town.

    Stupid, redneck motherfucker is blaming his estranged wife instead of his mom, who really dropped the ball. It was 95 degrees here then – I’d have gotten the dog some water and food – repeatedly, had I known.

    Hell, I even told him to call a rescue when he split from his wife and she took the kids, but he didn’t. Asshole.
