I did buy that shade cloth from AM Leonard (amleo.com) but I think you can get it from Johnny's too. The benefits of this stuff include: won't rot; comes in standard widths and lengths, and can be bought at different percentages of shade, from 30-80%. I bought 50% shade myself.
As I assume this would be Ms Rose Carrol asking: yes, and loose weave that creates shade would work, as does old screening. Eventually I will be posting a series on shading, with all the different methods I have used.

Summer Transplants
Of course, as a gardener, I am driven by the weather, and today was no exception. I ordered a bunch of seeds for my fall crops right after I got back from Vermont, and got some of them into a seedling bed where the early squashes were before the squash bugs got into them...but I also bought some...

Very Cool! Waiting to hear about Bavaria. Karl says the mountains there are cool, too, and very much like Vermont.

a little reminiscent of Lake Champlain
Cruising along the water, and rolling rocky hills, the bus pulls up to a rest area. All the typical features, fast food, toilets, and a little playground for the children. As I board the bus, Sam is still inside waiting for his hot dog wrapped in bacon and side of French fries. The bus dri...
Totally awesome! That time we went to John and Andrea's wedding was like this (Mt Olympus in June) and you guys picniced at the lake. The snow was 5 meters deep in places, AND...I was tracked by a cougar (probably a very HUNGRY cougar!)
Now do the Alps down on the Austrian / Italian border (outside Tirolo) where you can go hut to hut at high elevations, without descending, and they have cots and food and beer!

hiking 'the tower'
Hiking the Norwegian Mountain Peaks!! Now to be honest with you...these pictures don't give it any justice. Its the sort of thing you can't capture with a camera. The views are mind-blowing. It is almost surreal to me that I was actually there, because it just isn't in my scheme that there can ...

Actually we do no have the results yet...winter closed in before we got them dug (video guy was busy, busy, busy...) and now we have decided to wait until spring and dig them as a fund raiser for the new Shepherdstown Community Garden Club.
We are going to hold a "guess the yield contest" and the winner gets half the potatoes (I am keeping the other half for replanting...)
So if you want to enter, stay in touch (we will be taking both local and email entries) as we will be posting the details soon.

Running to Asia
Istanbul a city spanning two continents. The galata bridge was the first build across two continents. Our morning run took us along the bosphorus on the European side, across the bridge to asia and steep sidewalks rivaling San Francisco streets. At the top of the hill is the galata tower remindin...
I may not be able to take credit, but I will take a compliment!

Speaking Arabic in Paris!
Just this past week I used my arabic bargaining skills. I was in Paris trying to buy a painting for my friend from a street vendor, but we weren't communicating very well since my french (and his english) are virtually non-existent. Then I heard him speaking to his friend in Arabic. So I switc...
Awesome! Remember long ago in the central market in Bangkok...when you practically had to be forced to bargain?
