I was thrilled to see the lovely Holiday display this second time. However, I am very disappointed that no Religious displays appear, Christian, Jewish & Muslin. These reflect reasons for celebrating this season. One could even display world wide creche scenes.

As I’m currently extending my search and thus cannot add further, however, I’ve bookmarked it and will be returning to further comment. Like I said, love this comment and will be back soon.

[...] Back in spring we set ourselves a huge goal of growing 10,000 pounds of vegetables for the Central Virginia Foodbank. Right now we are around 8,200. Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that the cabbages, broccoli and greens get us to that goal. Wouldn’t that be awesome?! [...]

Comment on Community Kitchen Garden: Tomato Suckers and More! by lewisginter

John, Elizabeth from Horticulture has an answer for you:
Peppers don’t sucker the way that tomatoes do. However, she can always thin (remove some of) the baby peppers on her plants if she wants. As long as she has good fertile soil, she really shouldn’t need to worry about stressing the plant’s health by it having too many peppers. The only real negative effect of having a lot of them on the plant is that they might weigh the stems down to the ground. Thinning will probably give her fewer but larger sized peppers while leaving them all on the plant will give her more but smaller peppers.
