Maybe they just didn't have much money.
3161. Ms. No - 7/3/2005 12:33:10 AM Finally found a market where I can get Kaffir Leaves and Galanga. I'm still trying to perfect my Tom Ka Gai recipe and have decided that I don't like any of the "make do" versions that entail using Ginger and grated lime peel.
The checkout clerk at the Bangluck Market looked at what I was buying -- Galanga root, Kaffir Leaves, White Basil --- and said "Oh, you make Tom Ka Gai?" and I said "Well, I'm attempting it. I've been looking for Kaffir leaves all week. If it doesn't turn out right I'm coming back and asking you for instruction." She laughed and told me to bring her a sample.
3162. thoughtful - 7/5/2005 10:05:53 PM Help from another gardner please....we planted our tomaotes and the plants look extremely healthy. They started blossoming in early June and so far all but one of the blossoms have dried up and fallen off. We have one tomato. Any ideas why?
In past years we had a fungus attack the plants and they'd start dying from the bottom up, so someone suggested we plant them in pots instead, which we did. I'm afraid we made the soil mix too rich and that's why we're getting what we're getting.
Neighbor suggested that overnight temps have been largely too cool and it takes a certain amount of heat for the blossoms to set. He also suggested we may not have enough bees pollinating them, but we've not had that problem before.
Any suggestions? 3163. judithathome - 7/5/2005 10:58:57 PM No suggestions but I do recall someone...a neighbor? another poster?...talking about beating the tomato plants to make pollinate. 3164. thoughtful - 7/7/2005 1:52:29 PM well, i looked on the net and found an article that blossom drop is related to temperature variations and there's very little one can do about it. It's a shame. I was so hopeful having gotten blossoms on the plants so early. Our growing season is short and I so look forward to that first juicy tomato!
Well maybe we'll get some real tomaotes yet.... 3165. PelleNilsson - 7/8/2005 8:25:02 AM Construction Mania
The supports are made up by volumes of the Swedish National Encyclopedia.
3166. Macnas - 7/11/2005 10:35:45 AM What'cha making there Pelle? 3167. PelleNilsson - 7/15/2005 1:31:18 PM Sorry, Macnas, I didn't see your question until now. It's a gangway to connect the floating landing stage with the shore. It was easier to build it here than bringing all the pieces of wood over in the boat and building it there. 3168. thoughtful - 7/15/2005 2:13:28 PM Just make sure you don't build it so large that it won't fit out the door!!
:-O
3169. Macnas - 7/15/2005 3:51:46 PM Ah, I see faith.

3175. Magoseph - 7/16/2005 4:21:46 PM It'll be 12x44 and have windows all around--I can't wait to see the inside. 3176. Magoseph - 7/16/2005 4:23:05 PM I guess I posted two pictures that are the same. Time for a nap! 3177. Ms. No - 7/19/2005 5:48:31 PM Very cool, Mago. That looks to be a lovely room when it's finished. 3178. concerned - 7/25/2005 3:41:04 PM Looks like it'll be nice, Magoseph. Which lake is that? 3179. Magoseph - 7/25/2005 3:52:21 PM Thank you, concerned--it is Lake Michigan.
