To many beans here too. Corn is coming in every week now, pick it and bring it home for immediate consumption good this year. I had to laugh the farmer still uses my letter to the other members of our CSA I wrote almost 20yr. ago.

Scott,
Do you know what is worse than finding a worm in your ear of corn? Finding half of one!

Unlikely most of the time, sorry BTW Ed for getting mad you have no way of knowing about our situation. The farm CSA is a perpetual land trust and Dan and Karen are paid by the trust a prevailing wage with benefits to run the farm the way the members want. No one makes any money. We have been friends for over 25yr. the farm is run the way it is which some may call dilettantism, there is no intervention and whole crops regularly fail and this is no model to "feed the world".
It was a huge controversy to use copper solution on the tomatoes in the last few years because we had a 100% failure one year and tomatoes are some kind of hot button for the members. The corn OTOH is no spray, no GMO, no bT you get what you get.
So nice to be able to do this but it's out of reach for the most of us who have to trust that our food is ethical on all counts, that's where the RFID tagging we have discussed comes in.
Presumably calcium chloride is benign.
No it was philosophical, not sure how I feel. Copper sulfate for wine vineyards in damper climates is almost a necessity. I guess the rainfall here changed enough to have to make a decision.
Yes, it is pretty easy to find a dossier on possible harm to workers and historical studies in Bordeaux.
Bonide -- but too late to do anything about it now -- the weather starts to cool in just a few weeks.
Beets, beans and lettuce will do well. (Also time to replant the iris next week).

Nice mix of all my favourites, All Post brand cereals? 🙂
I have some basal, that wants to come back every year. It is flowering, I guess it is too late to pick it? makes nice little flowers and buds, must be a Hermi 🙂

If its not been flowering too long you can pinch the flowers off and it will stay alive putting out a few new leaves.....the buds will keep coming and you need to keep pinching. If the buds havnt flowered when you pinch them they're still good for cooking.
Shreddies used to be Nabisco, right? Or am I wrong? They have been Post for a while.
Probably too late now, but you can pinch off the flowers and the big stems and they will produce more side-shoots and leaves. Basil likes a lot of water. Bees like the flowers, I always wonder what the honey tastes like?
Ever try corn nuts in there? I know it's not Nuts & Bolts but they add a nice crunch.
It's an example of a "Party Mix" -- salty crispy munchables to enjoy with beer or wine or gins and tonic or a Pimm's Cup cocktail

Thx Bob, I am hoping it will spread, get bigger, still a beautiful perennial plant. Nabisco, sounds right, I see Walmart has their own brand of lucky charms, lucky something?, I thought that was funny to see, cloned lucky charms 🙂
