O.k., we are on the brink of a possible big storm and I would be just as happy if this isn't one for the record books. Meteorologically this is fascinating to watch unfold. Watching the wave and wind maps' predictions on the surfing sites is mesmerizing for me. If you have the opportunity over the next few days as this storm gets closer watch surf camera sites up and down the east coast to see what wind does to water. There are surf cams at most of the piers on the Outer Banks as well as in Ocean City Maryland and New Jersey.
That said, my true wish is for Sandy to pass quietly as as far east as possible.
5th grade had another great day of garlic planting and observations in the gardens. Here are a few of the questions they are pondering:
If one seed clove taken off of a garlic bulb creates another bulb of garlic, then where in the new bulb is the seed clove? Great garlic information here: http://www.filareefarm.com/pdf/filaree-garlic-catalog2011.pdf
If a mother strawberry plant puts out runners from which daughter plants are born, and the spots on the outside of a strawberry are seeds then what purpose do the seeds serve serve; and if the seed's purpose is to grow new plants how are the distributed? (find some answers for strawberry seeds here: http://strawberryplants.org/2010/05/strawberry-seeds/
Things that make you go hmmm.
