I believe most avos need more than a typical 3-4 month ripening season, which is why the harvest tonnage is so variable year to year. A lot can happen from bud break till harvest: frost, hail, rain (no bees for pollinization)...

right offhand, if the brown area is at the end of the tomato away from the stem, you probably have what is called blossom end rot. I believe that this happens when the tomatoes suffer alternating drought and rain. We have had...

And very dry martinis for a drought.

yeah I waited about 45 minutes for my huarache. While my husband waited on the pupusa line—also took about 45 minutes! But it was worth it after the long winter drought, I needed my fix and couldn’t wait until they...

Many foods in the US will have sharply higher prices because: 1. Production of several major crops has decreased due to drought. 2. Consumption demand is increasing in various parts of the developing world. 3. Energy and fertilizer...

Thank you for the lead to a good website. And this year, the orchard looks to make up for two drought years!

Brixx has tables outside that would be relatively smoke free. Mac’s has outdoor tables as well as Vinnie’s Raw Bar on South. As long as it doesn’t rain you should be fine. And what with the drought...

Peanuts are getting hard to find. The Southeast is in a very severe drought, and the peanut crops have suffered greatly. Can’t find peanut oil these days either. Give the Superior Nut Company a call and see if they have any...

Have you gone to the Local Harvest website? http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ We found Karl’s Farm in MD through this site, which delivered our share directly to our door (in NW DC) once a week. The drought hit them pretty...

How interesting and strange looking. Information on the link above says, "Trees [do] not take well to periods of drought and will quickly loose their leaves."

that with the drought, some participants have been less than impressed with this past year’s harvest. However, any positive experiences would be appreciated, as my family is mulling the idea over in our heads.

The stevia is nice muddled & added to ice tea. I love the flavor of fresh stevia, but for me it is not enjoyable in the dried form. I was planing to try freezing it, but the drought seems to have taken care of my excess...

Leipzig is not the heaven of great dining in Germany. Like the rest of former DGR it still suffers the drought of fifty years suppression of private enterprise, a key of success in culinary creativity. Dresden progessed more...

God Bless my San Marzanos, they are the only tomato in my garden that is defying the june bugs, the mystery-wilt, the crappy soil, and the 100 degree drought. I either eat them fresh in salads, salsas, pasta, or when I had a few...

will be available when I can hike to the nearest village, although a very nice poster on another board pointed out that the drought might be a downer on that front. Hopefully eggs and sausage as well, although I’m really...
