The Old Farmer's Almanac - Tomato Woes


Tomato Woes


I say “tomayto” and you say “tomahto” but however you say it, tomato time is here! Along with the luscious fruits that we wait months for come the many tomato disorders and diseases that the flesh is heir to—tomato flesh that is.

No wind, no bird. The river flames like brass.
On either side, smitten as with a spell
Of silence, brood the fields. In the deep grass,
Edging the dusty roads, lie as they fell
Handfuls of shriveled leaves from tree and bush.
But ’long the orchard fence and at the gate,
Thrusting their saffron torches through the hush,
Wild lilies blaze, and bees hum soon and late.
–Lizzete Woodworth Reese (1856–1931)

Eclipse Eye Safety


The great solar eclipse is now just days away. I hope you will travel to where the eclipse is total, such as Carbondale, Illinois, or Stanley, Idaho, because totality offers an astounding, unforgettable experience. Nevertheless, you can still experience something magical outside the path of totality: a partial solar eclipse. In both cases, you will need specialized eye protection.
