I was planning on writing a post for today on Al Gore's 100% Electricity Spiel and what's all wrong with it. In fact, I was excited all day yesterday about getting the time to write it. Well, as excited as one can get watching 4 hours of blood transfusions.
Anyway, we ended up admitting my husband to the hospital last night and I spent my time there instead of writing up my energy analysis. So, y'all will just have to wait on that one...
In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves.
Check out my new book, The Non-Toxic Avenger: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You, available from Amazon.
I'm hosting an online Book Club starting in February. Check out the schedule here!

44 Crunchy Thoughts:
"Talk amongst yourselves"
Since I am the only one here, does that mean I am talking to myself?
Hope things are OK now. (Or as OK as they can get.)
Thoughts and prayers are with you both CC.
Blessings.
Hang in there Crunchy-
Thinking of you and Mr. Crunch today. Hope all is well.
Hope you find things are looking up this morning....
Our thoughts are with you. And with poor robj98168.
Sorry to hear you're at the hospital. Hope things are improving already.
OTOH, glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't thing Al Gore's plan is the Answer to All Our Problems.
Sending my prayers!
Sending good thoughts!
Thinking about you and yours, Crunchy.
I'll be hanging my laundry and thinking of your family today, Crunchy. Hope Mr. Crunchy feels better today. Regards, JenK
Good Thoughts, and Prayers to you guys.
My husband (28 years old) has cancer, too. I'm really sorry about all the time in the hospital. It totally sucks, but hopefully it's making him better. Thanks for all your green thoughts. =) Hang in there.
Mr. Crunchy,
Keep up the good thoughts, I am sending you more.
Has anyone started planning what to plant for end of summer/fall? My peas and corn are done. I am pulling out the rest of the potatoes this weekend ... now what?
Good wishes. In the meantime, great post . . . idea. We all love it! :)
Gore's proposal may not be perfect, but its the best I've heard from any one of "national leader" status. I'm eager for your analysis.
Blessed be.
Best thoughts to you and your husband. Take care of yourself -
As always, my prayers and best wishes to you and your family Crunchy.
Since we're supposed to be talking amongst ourselves: Jenette or anyone else growing potatoes - this is my first year. I live in Western Massachusetts (Zone 4). How do I know when potatoes are ready to be "pulled"?
Thanks - Debbie C
My prayers are with you and Mr. Crunchy ... and the children.
Thoughts are with you.
I'm sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way. Give the kids an extra hug. Hopefully by the time you read this you will have good news to report about Mr. Crunchy.

Hang in there Crunch.
I haven't read the Al Gore "answer to all" and I'm looking forward to your take on it.
Hate you are at the hospital - we are thinking about you and hope that things improve for you and Mr. Crunchy.
Totally agree about the Gore speech. Look forward to your thoughts.
Sending good thoughts and vibes your way ~~~~~~~~~~~
Crunchy -
My heart goes out to you and yours. Prayers and good wishes!

I'm growing potatoes for the first time this year myself but I've read somewhere that when the potato plant (the above ground parts) dies off, then you can harvest. Although you can probably harvest small, baby potatoes earlier than that if you want.

Hope things are looking a bit better this evening Crunchy. More thoughts and prayers.
Kerri in AK - thanks for the tip on the potatoes. I guess waiting is the hardest part!
Debbie C
Hugs and prayers coming......
Best wishes to you and Mr. Crunchy...
I am thinking of you and your husband. I hope you guys get home soon.
Take good care of your Mr. Crunch and yourself too. Hope you get home soon.
Get better soon Mr.Crunchy. You are allowing Al Gore to escape a Crunchy scathing and we can't have that.
I anticipate a skillful scathing of the Earth Tone Guy, Crunchy, and am willing to wait. It's always worth it at this blog.
Thinking of you and your family, Crunchy.
Sending you and Mr. Crunchy (and the wee Crunchettes) good thoughts. I hope things are getting better.
Sending you all super positive, warming, encouraging & healing thoughts & vibes. & many virtual hugs as well!
My husband and I are praying for healing and strength for your husband, you, and your family.
Re: potatoes
They are ready when the above ground parts are good and dead- wait another week or two after that if possible, then dig away.
Don't feel bad about not knowing this btw- I just had a visit from an old friend from high school who lives a very urban/usburban lifestyle and is a highly paid computer sort- she was touring the market garden here and wanted to see the potatoes. I showed her the planting(lots)- she gazed at it for awhile and then asked where the potatoes were though as she didn't see any! Yes, she didn't realize that potatoes grow under the ground.......
As to what else to plant now, that depends on your location. Here in the far north one can still plant green beans, kale, spinach, chard, beets, lettuce, radishes,(cukes, summer squash-plant on protecting those from frost);all of those should still give you a crop and make good succession plantings replacing the others which give up the gasp. Some people have good luck with fall peas too; I don't for some reason so I don't plant those except in the spring but you can try some.
Our thoughts are with you and Mr. Crunchy. Be well!
Happy thoughts of not being in the hospital to Mr. Crunchy and you!!
Prayers for a quick recovery!
Sharon
I am sorry to hear about your husband being hospitalized. I hope you find comfort today and that things work out for the best.
Ani ... thanks for the planting recommendations. We live in ZONE 14. Inland Northern and Central California with Some Ocean Influence
Growing season: early Mar to mid-Nov.
This is our first year with potatoes as well ... only 3 of the 9 we planted sprouted ... so far 2 'sprouts' have wilted and have been dug up.
Prayers for you both. This really, really sucks, I'm sure.
hope you can both go home soon!
Thinking of you and Mr Crunchy!
