The Future of Fog in California and Strawberries

Intrigued? Listen to the report, The Future of Fog in California from KQED, public radio in the San Francisco Bay Area. The upside of living in a fog belt may be strawberries. The KQED report explains why foggy Watsonville grows the best strawberries.

You’ll also learn about research efforts in Monterey on fog and the importance of fog to the region. Think redwoods and your winter lettuce. Then nerd out on fog collection links at the end of this blog post.

I live in a fog belt, though not as intense as parts of the Bay Area. I have trouble growing tomatoes. Read Growing Tomatoes in Fog Belt and Rethinking Tomatoes in the Fog Belt and Dwarf Tomatoes: Rethinking Tomatoes in the Fog Belt (Again).

I collect a substantial amount of water on foggy days or when the dew is heavy. Water condenses on the metal roof of our garage and runs down to my rain collection trash cans adjacent to my vegetable beds. Lids turned upside down capture the water. I need to do some measurements on the next really foggy day.

If you really want to nerd out on fog collection, check these articles:

Overprotective Father

Of all the things that Danny imagined when he decided to release Dan from his prison, he never thought that he would become his father. And while it was a little weird, he could see the point in it. Dan wasn't his future self, he was a combination between him and Vlad (something he really hated to think about), meaning, technically his son.

Dan also seemed uncomfortable with the new arrangement but he seemed much happier, and since being given access to the castle garden he was actually quite calm. Probably because of his unlimited access to ghost fruits. Who knew that all it took to stop his attempts of world conquest was a couple of ghost strawberries?

The father/son thing continued to be awkward, but they actually grew to like it (as much as Dan denied it). And that was okay, until Dan started... dating people.

And that was fine, really, Dan could date whoever he wanted (although he was too young in the halfa's opinion) but his choices weren't ideal: King Shark, Metron, Constantine, Darkseid, Bane, Morpheus, Brainiac, Deadshot, and more were added to the list. Even as the Ghost King Danny had a headache just thinking about it.

Danny didn't know what the hell Dan was seeing in them, but he decided it was time to interfere. Unfortunately for the Justice League, Danny decided to act like a father just as Dan started dating one of their members. So now an overprotective Ghost King was giving the entire meeting a shovel talk. Ellie was laughing in the background as Dan covered his face, his father was fucking embarrassing.

Growing Tip: Growing Strawberries

l love strawberries. They’re one of my favourite fruit; but I always hesitate buying them, especially when I’m alone, because they always seem to go bad quickly, and it seems a bit of a waste (although nothing is really waste in our house, and they naturally end up onto the compost him if we can’t eat them!)

Thus, when I saw a tiny strawberry plant in a tiny pot whilst doing my grocery shopping mid-May, I bought it on impulse! And planted it that very day in a much larger pot, in a mixture of half potting soil, a quarter garden soil and a quarter compost. 

Then, tending to my ‘Elvira’ Strawberry Plant was rather easy. It likes sunshine, but not too much, so I placed it in a spot where it gets plenty of morning sunshine, and then is in the shade in the afternoon. That, and regular watering (whenever the soil isn’t moist to the touch) made it very happy.

And it grew and bloomed generously, in a matter of a fortnight! The pollinators then did their job beautifully.

And by mid-June, I had tiny strawberries growing where the flowers had been.

Then, all it needs is water and sunshine and it will produce gorgeous, delicious fruits. Jules and I have eaten four of these between ourselves so far, and the taste of them truly is incomparable.

Obviously, one wants more of these strawberries, and luckily, it is a generous plant. It propagates by throwing out stolons (or runners), on which a bunch of leaves will grow.

It is ready to root too, and grow a new plant. All one has to do is to arrange for this new growth to fall onto a pot filled like the first one, with potting soil, garden soil and compost, and water it until it takes root. Then, you can cut it from the mother plant, and it will bloom, be pollinated and produce more delightfully flavourful strawberries!

This one is just taking.

And my strawberry plant is already throwing out a new stolon! I reckon this was a good impulse! Wonderfully tasty, at least!

fr tho “rounder by the minute” is SUCH a hot phrase. the fact that by the end of the day you’ll be even bigger than you are right now… slight enough that you might not notice, but you’re going to be having a bit more difficulty buttoning up your shirt tomorrow…

As flustering as it is, I can’t argue-

But I can’t help it! I’m driving myself crazy from the thought that I’m helpless to stop myself from growing, all I can do is sit back and watch myself get bigger. It’s like my body has been completely hijacked and I can’t control it anymore, even if I wanted to.

#pregnancy #I think my girlfriend likes it though #I was complaining because my pants not buttoning #And she responded by spoon feeding me strawberries and pudding #Am I growing because of my baby or because of her stuffing me with all of my cravings the moment I get a little upset?

MY strawberries are blooming, which makes me think back to this photo from when I was doing a major "update" of the beds. I hope we have BUCKETS of them this year. This was 2019. The next year we were into the pandemic, and nothing has ever felt the same.

I had supervision and help. Of course. Always.
