nj2va Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Should be some great games tonight. That Michigan ending was crazy. Tenn got robbed on that offensive foul call. Good game by UCONN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 In MD, the State denied AA Co. a waiver for 5 days of the school year due to snow. The school year is currently slated to end on June 23rd. AACPS took the easy route of just adding days at the end of the school year instead of looking at other ways (adding time to the day, eliminating professional days, less Spring Break Days). State of MD said they would look at each jurisdiction by case by case basis and how each jurisdiction was trying to add more instruction time.

nj2va Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I agree. I thought it was a bad call. Michigan was in the middle of an epic choke but somehow made it. The games tonight have been great. Can't wait for Sunday. Hard to believe that after so many changes for the program the boys are one win away from another Final Four. The Sweet 16 was my expectation after the conf tourney run, so anything at this point is gravy. They're on a tear right now. And Kentucky gets every call their way, going back to the 2nd half of the Wichita st game. Or maybe I'm biased since I can't stand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDIII Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I couldnt find the right thread... but a couple of people mentioned that this year was better than 2009-2010.. might have been Zwytz. A handful of people also said that they liked that March ~20 degree and snow event better than the February HECs. Anyone who says anything like that is a liar. Just stop. The February HECs put this year on the map. That was the best event this year. 2009-2010 and 2002-2003 were both better than this year. also... everyone on this board would take a winter with only one 30 inch event over this winter if they had to chose. here is an example- Favorite Event: 3/16-17 ... ...

Most Overrated: 2/12-13 Liar Please just stop lying. 1) The February "HECs" wasn't actually a HECS for most people's backyards, so it's perfectly reasonable for some to like the March 17 storm better 2) How about you STFU and stop calling people liars and presuming to know what kind of winter they prefer. You don't speak for anyone but yourself so if anyone is a liar, it's you! You're a horrible poster and this board would be a better place if you just shut up, so remember: Read more and post less.

I, however, do not. 1/21 was my favorite event due to the EXTREME cold afterwards. Nothing beats walking around in 8" of snow with a -10 degree windchill. I almost forgot about 12/8. That may be the best... 6" of surprise snow. 2"/hr for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wake up trick won't save much time. I've had bad luck planting hot peppers from seed.If they don't get going they are widely available as seedlings in a few weeks.

Even Round here, it'll take them until we into July to really start taking off. Some early jalapeños can do better, but I almost never get a pepper harvest of any sort until August (though they do come in hot and heavy from that point on).

Aug-oct.There is one breed of jalapeno called "early" from the nursery I order from. It will start kicking out pods pretty quick in June and they are pickable in July. I always get a couple of those because I'm an impatient addict. Some of the thin skinned small Thai styles are pickable in July but. The hot and heavy havest is late Aug-sept.

I'm right with you, Bob. I've decided to forego bell peppers this year because the return is far too small given the amount of time need to get a single fully ripe pepper. For me, hot peppers are the way to go, even if that means waiting most of the summer for them to come around. I'm not exactly sure what peppers I'll be planting thi shear, but likely some combination of jalapeños, habaneros, Anaheims, and maybe something else. I've got lots of other stuff already in or soon to be going in - garlic, onions, beets, spinach, peas, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, and herbs - so I've got my plate full of gardening for the next 4-6 weeks, for sure.

I eat all my thick skinned hots (jalaps, serranos, etc) fresh. I grill roast jalapenos along side a nice steak and it's off the charts. I dry a lot of peppers too and grind them for the shakers. Tabasaco and thai style pods are awesome for that. They are prolific plants as well. If you see either a tabasco or thai hot seedling at a nursery or home depot definitely pick them up. They both make outstanding powder to heat up anything. And for me that's everything except breakfast cereal. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also can salsa, so I use jalapeños and habaneros for that. I've dried various hots, as well, and have made chili powder from it. I'm into the idea of drying out Anaheims to make New Mexico-style sauces. I know most here are winter lovers, but this is my time of year...
