A Yard Full

Potatoes

The potatoes are growing but the crop didn’t do as well as I had hoped. The red potatoes that sprouted must have rotted in the ground with all the rains we have had and the standing water. Guess the white potatoes were stronger, because they are up and doing well.

This is why I love spring so much. Just look at the lovely flowers in my yard. How can one not see the beauty that God has given us?

iPhone Factory unlocking

waq_ami — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:40:20 +0000

Since iPhone launched , iPhone unlocking has been a big problem for the users if they want to change their network. First they have bound by a 24 months contract and than at the end of the contract they do not even get unlocking. This is really unfair. I guess they should get at least their iPhone unlock at the end of their contract term. This is mostly the case in USA. I found most of the networks provider in EU countries do offer their customers an unlock even durring the contract term. It depends on the network company you with but most of them do offer unlock.

Here is a website which we launched to provide this permanent unlocking service to the iPhone users. Only thing we need to unlock your iPhone is IMEI number and that’s it, we will factory unlock your iPhone. This iPhone unlocking is the official factory unlocking solution offered by Apple

Walgreen’s vs Express Script

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Negotiations by Walgreens and Express Script have fallen through and they will no long work together. Walgreens is no longer part of Express Scripts? pharmacy provider network as of Jan. 1, 2012. Express Scripts acts as a middleman between pharmacies. Most payers don?t see the rates Express Scripts pays to Walgreens. They only know what they pay Express Scripts. When they do see what Walgreens is paid, many health plans and employers are making decisions to continue to ensure access to Walgreens because they find the prices to be competitive and believe that they can lower overall health care costs.

An individual can join the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club during a special January promotion for only $5, or $10 for a family membership, and receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. Walgreens did this in an effort to prevent our country?s military personnel from being caught in the middle.

Walgreens also offered to contract separately with Express Scripts for Tricare from other Express Scripts commercial business, but these offers were rejected. This company wants you to use their own mail order pharmacy business instead of your community pharmacy. Community pharmacies are a valuable presence in your neighborhood. You can give support to Walgreens on Facebook as well as Walgreens on Twitter because of the magnitude confusion this situation has caused. What better was to stay updated than to check this out on these two networks.

Earthworms?

So, you think earthworms are outdoors creatures? Well, you can actually raise them indoors, and use their castings to improve your soil, indoors and out.
Container

Make it large and manageable, space 8 to 12 inches deep. They feed on the top layers of the bedding. Bins can be plastic or wood.

Drill 8 to 12, ¼-inch-diameter holes in the bottom and sides for aeration and drainage. Drill more holes if using plastic or bedding stays wet. Place a tray under bin to collect “tea” that drips from bin. Tea makes good fertilizer for houseplants.
Bedding

Options; shredded cardboard, newspaper, or coir (coconut husks); and peat moss. Mist bedding with water if it looks dry.

Cover bins to keep worms in dark. Keep temperatures between 40°F and 80°F for survival, place bins in cellar, warm garage.

Red wigglers thrive in temperatures between 55°F and 77°F (Worms from garden, night crawlers, prefer cooler and deeper soils.) Buy red wigglers through the mail or at a bait shop.

One pound of red wiggler worms (about 1,000 worms) can eat a 1/2 pound of scraps a day.
Food

Feed worms vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, crushed egg shells, and even leftover pasta. No spicy foods. Avoid meats, fish, fatty and oily foods, and bones. Lay a thin layer on top of bedding. Worms feed in the dark.
A small amount of potting soil or cornmeal help your worms digest their meal.

Harvest

After 3 to 4 months your worms should have eaten the bedding and the scraps. Top layer of matter should be dark brown and the consistency of chunky sand. Harvest the castings. Push the castings to side, add more bedding and scraps. Worms will go to the new bedding and scraps. Dig out castings and add more bedding and scraps. Make sure to pick out stray wigglers and return

Growing Season

Administrator — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:00:58 +0000

Last week we planted onion slips, just in time for a good soaking rain. It seems that the weather worked well with our attempts. Now, we can only hope the rest of the planting season, will turn out as well as it has started. I’ve got all of my seeds ready to put in the seed trays and get sprouted for planting time. Hope to get some seed potatoes soon so they can get sprouted in time for next month’s possible planting.

Onion Plants

I planted some onion seeds and they came up………they are still surviving the heat wave we’ve had, and that’s a plus. The package said that they were winter worthy as well, which gives me hope that they will survive the winter.

Try TracFones

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I found that the only way to control my cell phone expenses was to go the “pre-pay” way. When looking at my recent cell phone bill, I began to see the Light about exactly how much I was spending on those service plans. It didn’t take me long to realize that I needed a TracFone plan I could control and have things limited to my needs. My finances are considered “fixed income”, so therefore I must have control over my spending.
For Real TracFone customers there are no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancellation fees. plus great nationwide coverage and excellent reception/connectivity. There are several different brands and style of phones to choose from with So many features extra. As customers you can stay in touch with your kids and other family members during the hot days of summer.

I found that through the actual airtime I needed, I could be a person totally in control. All I need to do is is buy one of their phones, then activate it. I know that I can have the convenience of buying airtime when I need it. suggest that you consider looking into this service, if you are looking to have something you can control.
