Andrew Garcia is my favorite on American Idol, he is probably the most talented, but I know he will not win. If you don't know who he is or what I mean by talent, you can check him out at this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5V0iKkfuuA

I am looking forward to this: http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20100207/GPG04/2070672/Green-Bay-East-to-present-%5C-Seven-Brides-for-Seven-Brothers%5C- tomorrow night. Dorcas and Ben are played by two we have known since they were 5, and are both very talented "kids".

Do you know anyone in NE Wisconsin that has been successful with growing peaches? I notice some that say they can grow in zone 4 and we are technically zone 5, but I am sceptical.

Steven Wedgeworth has a good article about the goodness of, well, stuff. This is a constant theme in my preaching, teaching, and life. http://www.credenda.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=164:the-goodness-of-stuff&catid=96:theology&Itemid=122

I am a blogging newbie and I will learn how to make these links look a whole lot better very soon.
About the peaches, the extension building has a variety of fruit trees growing in the back, demonstrating how they survive here. I know there are some new peach varieties, but the survivability is not a sure thing. One nasty frost at the wrong time can do them in. But I have eaten them, and they are good. They do all kinds of tricks to keep them safe from critters, like wrap each peach in a ziplock bag! You should come and see in the springtiime1
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Jo! I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteIf cherries can grow, why not peaches? OK, so the skin on a cherry is waxy while the peach is fuzzy. But I would suppose Door County cherries work in part because the climate is supposedly tempered by the surrounding water (tempered being a relative term here).
ReplyDeleteWhat about dwarf varieties grown using intensive methods, like a modified bell jar?
Andrew Garcia is the man. I share your sentiments there Ron.
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't help on the peaches. I'll offer to eat your first one though. :)
Links. When you are typing the blog you can see in your edit tools the word *link.* That's where you can easily show what words your readers will see and where you add the url. Hope this helps.
