FL Gardeners~ this weekend through a few days past the new moon is a great time to put seeds in the ground. Here's some ideas for what's best in each region this time of year. Just about anything can be grown out of it's perfect season. These are the ones that should grow with the least care & trouble if planted now.

North FL~ Lima beans, eggplant, okra, peas, sweet potatos

Central FL~ okra, peas, sweet potatos

South FL~ sweet potatos

....................
Three people died recently in a seven-day span on commercial whitewater rafting trips - a tragic statistic that some officials attribute to heavy rain and high water levels

The registration period for those impacted by the severe storms and flooding beginning in mid-March has been extended 30 days through June 26, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). This deadline is only for the flood disaster originally declared March 19 for the period March 17-May 9.

..................

I wanted to visit the garden again before we get too deep in 'cane season. Left a few pics~ corn update & a view from the top of the tomato tower. I did another bucket of the same size, same plants but pruned instead of let it grow on. The tower has defenatly yielded more. There's 2 types of tomatos...

Determinate~ they grow, make flowers, fruit & die.

Indeterminate~ they grow, make flowers, fruit, the leaves mostly die, fruit ripens..then repeat & repeat til frost or something kills them. I've had some over 20' long. These are the type that tomato towers are made of. Check the tag or seed pack when buying.


~growing by the moon cycles~
Root & leaf rates increase & decrease with the phases of the moon. Leaf growth inceases from new moon, peaking at full & bottoming out again at the next new moon. Root growth cycles up & down twice a month, peaking at the 1st & last quarter, while lowest at both the new & full moon.

This makes the best day to plant 2 days before the new moon. Anywhere close to then is also better than sewing seed by the light of a full moon. When seeds are sewn in flats, 2 days before the new moon & need to be moved at a young age to avoid disrupting roots, the moving day is the following full moon.

FL gardeners~ check back each month a few days before the new moon, I'll try to have up what is best for planting for the north, central & south end of the state.

UN halts aid to Myanmar after junta seizes supplies

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - A U.N. official says the World Food Program is suspending cyclone aid to Myanmar because its government seized supplies flown into the country.

He says the WFP has no choice but to suspend the shipments until the matter is resolved.

WFP spokesman Paul Risley said Friday that all "the food aid and equipment that we managed to get in has been confiscated." The shipment included 38 tons of high-energy biscuits.

Risley said it is not clear why the material was seized

Cyclone Nargis had all the makings of a perfect storm (i'm picking out Dr Master quotes here, which are also all over the weather wire:)

It was the first time such an intense storm hit the delta, said Jeff Masters, co-founder and director of meteorology at the San Francisco-based Weather Underground. He called it "one of those once-in-every-500-years kind of things."

"The easterly component of the path is unusual," Masters said. "It tracked right over the most vulnerable part of the country, where most of the people live."

Masters, at Weather Underground, said Wednesday that in the case of Nargis, the meteorological data in the Indian Ocean region "is too short and too poor in quality to make judgments about whether tropical cyclones have been affected by global warming."
