It's winter and I don't want to have a frozen dropper of rennet ruined by waiting on the doorstep after mail ordering some. There is none available locally that I know of so I have to order it online.
It should be fine. It's pretty resiliant.
He's just sitting there, staring.
Many well-intentioned gnome owners are beguiled by this crafty ruse. What you are seeing peering from your garden is , no less, a terracotta doppelganger left in place by your mythical friend. Rest assured your real gnome is elsewhere, merrily gallivanting through warm, sunlit countrysides and will return to you, once again, at the first thaw of Spring.
I want to collect several types of seeds from plants around my house to use next spring but I’m unsure of when the best time is to collect them and how to store them over the winter. The seeds I want to collect include cone flower, bee balm (monarda), white pine trees, norway spruce, and some type of very tall ornamental grass.
Thanks!

Inside a dry warm house foilage is often lost,and some not most but a few plants seem to have a slow horrible death.
Indoor plants have several disadvantages — overwatering, too little light and too much heat. To counteract these defects, put your plants near a south facing window and give them as much light as you can. Some plants may need a grow light to stay healthy. Other plants need some down time and will take a bit of shade. Do not put your plants near a heat source (like a radiator). There is a reason that florist shops are cool and some flowers are refrigerated. But most of all make sure that your indoor plants have GOOD drainage. Yes, the humidity indoors is often low during the winter, but drowning their roots will not help. The best thing to do is to make sure each pot has a drain hole and then set the pot on a bed of rocks. The rocks should stay wet (and will release humidity into the air), but water should not stay around the roots. Good Luck with your plants.
Land and Borders:
Palestine, currently under occupation, is located on the East coast of the Miditerannean Sea, West of Jordan and to the south of Lebanon. The territory of Palestine covers around 10,435 square miles (almost same size as the state of Vermont in the USA - that is, pretty small.) [1]
Out of this territory, there are 10,163 square miles of land area. The rest is water: half of the area of the Dead Sea (al-BaHr al-Mayyit), Huleh Lake (BuHayrat al-Huuleh) which was dried by the occupation and Tiberias Lake (BuHayrat Tabariyyah) which is also known as the Sea of Galilee (BaHr al-jaliil).
Topography and Terrain:
Palestine can be divided into four main distinct regions:
* Coastal and Inner Plains:
These are among the best fertile land in Palestine and elsewhere, with adequate resources of irrigation (from rainfall and underground water). They are where most of the Palestinian citrus groves used to stand. The coastal stretch is divided by Jabal al-Karmel (Mount Carmel) into the plain of Akka (Acre) and the plain of Palestine (also called Saruunah). The inner part consists, largely, of Marj bin 3aamir. This one is triangular in shape, with Jenin and Nazareth (An-NaaSirah) as its base and the SE edge of the Akka plain as its sharp corner.
* The Mountains and Hills:
This part is largely rocky but has terraces which make it suitable for a number of trees. Olives is one of the most planted trees in these regions. There are almonds, apples and others. Also, there are patches of plains scattered around in this region and these are fully utilized: they are planted wheat, barely, lentils .. in Winter and vegetables during the Summer (mostly tomatoes, melons, maize and other vegetation that stands the hot weather). Mountains are located in al-Jaliil (Galilee), al-Karmel, Nablus and Hebron areas.
* The Jordan Valley and Ghawr:
This is well below sea level, hence the name ghawr, with very good soil but very little water resources. Agriculture there depends on irrigation either from local streams or the Jordan River. Due to its climate, that region used to produce summer vegetables in late Winter stretching the availability of fresh produce before electricity and refregerators. The two lakes are at the northern edge of this region.
* The Southern Desert:
This region comprises almost half of the land of Palestine. It is also triangular in shape. The base is fertile and the rest, with its apex near the town of Aqaba, is poor with scattered patches of regions suitable for cultivation. Bi’r as-Sab’ (renamed Beersheba by the occupation) is the main town in that region.[2]
Population:
There has never been an accurate official census in Palestine since the roots of the recent aggression. Hadawi states that at the end of 1918 (WW1), there were 700,000 people living in Palestine. These were divided into 574,000 Muslims, 70,000 Christians and 56,000 Jews. Almost all the Palestinian Christians are Arabs and most of the Jews as well (up to around 1900 AD). These numbers check positively with the estimate that only 6% to 7% of the total Palestinian population was Jewish right after the first Zionist congress in Basel. It is also consistent with what David Newman’s statement [3] that: between 1800 and 1945, The Jewish Population of Palestine increased from approximately 25,000 to 600,000, eventually comprising some 33 per cent of the country’s population.

Manitou Springs is a wonderful little town that shares our dislike of fruitcake, located right at the base of Pikes Peak. Home of the famous annual Manitou Springs Fruitcake Toss competition, they were gracious enough to let us use their town to film our videos with Omega 380. Want to know more about the town of Manitou Springs, Colorado and its famous fruitcake toss competition? Here we have an interview with Leslie Lewis of the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce.

Contact Energy is firing up an old gas-fired power plant in New Plymouth
Winter power shortages a factor
The 100 megawatt plant was mothballed in December last year because it was deemed to be unsafe because Contact found asbestos in areas it wasn’t supposed to be
So now workers firing up the plant will wear head to toe overalls, full face powered respirators and gloves and then full wash down de-contamination after
Contact not doing it for the love of the nation
Here’s why they may be doing it
This chart gives a little hint
Contact will be able to sell this power onto the spot market at three times the regular rate
Lack of investment in new production, hard to build new renewable because of the RMA’s restrictions
Some new windfarms but major new capacity was E3P at Huntly a Gas station
Not a great result for renewable energy
The only way it seems we’ll get through this winter is by putting a bunch of power workers in chemically sealed suits and taking a gas fired power plant out of mothballs so that a private company can make super profits from obscenely high spot prices
Not a great public policy outcome

4 responses so farI would like to know if anyone knew how apartment gardens work and which kind of vegetables one could grow in an apartment during winter…or if its even possible at all. Maybe show me a website or some files on different plants one could grow during winter in an apartment garden.
There are lots of different ways to grow veggies in your apartment. The biggest thing is they will need lots of light and depending on what you want to grow they will all need different things. Lettus is easy to grow, just get some window boxes and put them in the south faceing window ont he inside. Make sure they have lots of water.
What i am planing to do is build a hydropoincis garden in my kitchen. I want to grow cucs, tomatos, lettuse, maybe some flowers, peas and the like. I have two shelving units that i am going to modify. Using two pvc pipes, a rubbermaid container, tubing, pumps and lights. It should be interesting.
Here is a good website that i found that could be helpful. http://www.easyhydroponics.net/category/general-hydroponics/index.htm
It has several different ways to set up a hydroponics garden.
Well good luck.
