![]() ![]() A pH range of at least 5.8 – 6.8 is ideal for celery. Celery’s ideal daytime temperature for growth is in the 60s°. Space plants 6 – 8 inches apart in all directions.Īpply aged compost to planting beds in advance of sowing. Keep plants warm for a month after transplanting by using row covers. This is done by reducing water for 7 – 10 days before transplanting. Self-blanching varieties don’t need trenches or efforts to blanch the stalks. This helps to allow for gathering and wrapping up of stalks in wax paper and the trenches to be filled in about midseason: a part of blanching process.Īlso: learn how long it takes celery to grow from seeds here Seeds germinate in 10 days at 24☌ before sowing your seeds, soak them in water overnight.īlanching celery varieties are expected to be plants in a trench 12 inches deep by 18 inches wide. Have your seedlings set out when they attain a height of 3 inches about the time of the last frost. Sow your celery seeds indoors 14 – 6 weeks before the last spring frost. Based on the varieties of your celery, your celery should mature 98 – 130 days. Sow your celery seeds 12 – 14 weeks before the first frost for an autumn harvest. You can transplant in the garden 2 weeks before the last expected frost. Start your celery indoors 14 – 6 weeks before the last expected frost in spring. ![]() Temperatures below 50☏ will send up flower stalks and make your celery become bitter flavoured. ![]() Too warm temperatures will only make your celery grow stringy. It grows best in daytime temperatures greater than 13☌ but not consistently warmer than 26☌. Once harvested, celery will remain fresh for up to two weeks if kept covered in the refrigerator.Celery is a cool-season crop which loves cool weather. Celery will stay fresh in the garden for up to a month provided the soil is mounded around the plant to help maintain a consistent temperature. Cut the stalks from the outside in, or if preferred, cut the entire plant at the soil level, leaving the root intact another few stalks may sprout after the first harvest. You can start eating celery when the stalks reach 8 inches high. If the overnight temperatures dip below 55 degrees F, protect the young plants low temperatures will cause the stalks to weaken or bolt. Add mulch to help maintain moisture, and water well during the growing season without regular watering the stalks will be small and dry. Place the transplants 10 inches apart in rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Before planting, amend the soil with compost and a 1-pound application of a 5-10-10 fertilizer for every 30 square feet of planting area celery is a heavy feeder and needs plenty of added nutrition to develop sturdy, strong stalks. Harden off the young plants for one week by lightly reducing the amount of water given each day and moving the pots outside for a few hours every day to get them accustomed to outdoor conditions. When your seedlings have developed more than five leaves and the overnight temperatures are a consistent 55 degrees F or higher, your celery is ready to transplant. Be patient celery takes up to 30 days to sprout. When the seedlings reach 2 inches high, if planted in flats, move to individual pots or thin the flats to allow 2 inches between each plant, keeping the strongest-looking seedlings intact. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period. Plant seeds in new, clean potting soil, placing the seed no more than 1/4-inch deep. Sow seeds in a bright location away from direct sunlight where daytime temperatures range from 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and overnight temperatures do not dip below 60 degrees F. Before planting, soak the seeds overnight to help quicken the germination process. Start your celery seeds indoors 8 to 12 weeks before the usual last frost date for your area. ![]() Despite these challenges for the gardener, there is nothing quite like the flavor of celery fresh from the garden, making the extra work well worth the effort. Celery does not tolerate heat well, nor will it survive frost and it requires regular fertilizer applications to keep nutrient levels high. Celery (Apium graveolensis) is a cool-season crop with a long growing season and a need for constant moisture. ![]() ![]() PgAdmin is a cross-platform database client that is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The next time the home iMac checks email, SpamSieve will see that message in the “TrainSpam” folder, and self-train itself to recognize those type messages in the future. If I’m checking mail on my iPhone, and see a spam message that SpamSieve missed, I simply move the message to the “TrainSpam” IMAP folder - that’s two taps on the iPhone. SpamSieve on that machine is continually processing the email, moving any messages it thinks are spam to the “Spam” folder - keeping my inbox pretty much spam-free for my MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad.īut what happens when SpamSieve makes a mistake? Remote training My home iMac is continually checking my email. Finally, disable spam filtering on all your other computers and devices, as that single machine is all that’s needed.That oversight cost me some time and confusion. ( Important: As somebody incapable of reading instructions, I overlooked the fact that you need to manually edit this AppleScript, specifying the name of your email account. Download an AppleScript from C-Command, install it in ~/Library/Application Scripts/ and create a second Mail rule to additionally process all incoming mail through that AppleScript.Create two additional IMAP folders, “TrainGood” and “TrainSpam”, for a total of three spam-related folders on your IMAP server:.(Note that installing SpamSieve basically involves installing the app, letting the app install the Mail plugin, and finally creating a single Mail rule that passes all incoming mail to SpamSieve.) Install and setup SpamSieve on that machine as normal, with one exception - rather than creating its “Spam” folder on the local machine, create it on the IMAP server.That could be a home iMac, or something like an internet-hosted Mac mini. Setup Mail.app on a Mac that’s permanently connected to the internet.That burden, though, was elegantly resolved this morning, as I revisited my old friend SpamSieve, and discovered a newly supported feature which provides the same single-point spam management I had with Gmail or iCloud. Indeed, it was those risks that led me to switch back to self-hosted email, even with the burden of having to deal with spam myself. ![]() And by now, we’ve all heard about the risks of entrusting your email to others. I’d go on a travel, check my email at the airport, and have to slog through hundreds of spam messages (paying 3G data rates to boot!)ĭue to the amount of spam I receive, I finally switched to online email providers like iCloud and Gmail, given their server-side spam filtering capabilities.īut I wasn’t happy about having to do that I much prefer having control of my own email. Things got further complicated when I got an iPhone and iPad, and began using Mail in mobile environment that didn’t even offer client-side spam filtering. ![]() See, although you might teach the spam filter on your laptop that a particular message is spam, the same filter on your desktop will have also seen the message and, though self-training, taught itself that it’s good! Things got tricky, though, when I switched from POP to IMAP, in order to access my email on both a laptop and a desktop computer, particularly because of the self-training nature of spam filters like SpamSieve. On the client side (a Mac, in my case) I used SpamSieve-a commercial product that’s more effective than Apple’s included spam filter-to keep my inbox free of spam. This article describes how I use the SpamSieve product for Mac OS X to provide server-side spam filtering.įor years, I hosted my email on a dedicated server leased by our company. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() This inflammation may be the result of an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, known as gut dysbiosis. Inflammation is at the root of some gastrointestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, and research suggests that low-grade inflammation might contribute to irritable bowel syndrome. ( 7) For this in particular, kombucha may be helpful. ![]() There’s also a growing belief in the scientific community that eating gut-friendly foods may help lower inflammation in the intestinal tract. That’s because the teas used to make kombucha contain polyphenols, which are antioxidants that can lessen inflammation in the body. Kombucha isn’t a first-line choice for treating any chronic disease, but the drink may complement your healthy diet, lifestyle choices, and medication regimen. May Reduce InflammationĬhronic inflammation is involved in just about every health condition, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, and respiratory illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (4)ġ0 Good Foods to Help Relieve Constipation 3. And if so, probiotic-rich foods like kombucha might improve irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, bloating, and constipation. ( 5) Lactobacillus is a common type of probiotic, so it’s plausible that kombucha may stabilize the digestive tract and help prevent infections and inflammation. ( 4)Ī 2014 study examined the microbial components of kombucha and identified a “prominent lactobacillus population” in the drink. May Aid ConstipationĪs a potential source of probiotics, one purported health benefit of kombucha is its ability to balance good bacteria in the gut and relieve some gastrointestinal issues, but more research is needed. But existing studies on the topic are short and small, and the authors of one 2017 review noted that more research is needed to know the true effects of EGCG on metabolism. Catechins have the potential to boost metabolic rates in adults. But thanks to the epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) found in the green tea of some types of kombucha, it may be a secret to a slightly faster metabolism.ĮGCG is a catechin, a compound found in green tea. Kombucha isn’t a miracle weight loss drink. If you’re looking to drop a few extra pounds, you’ll likely consider anything that’ll jump-start your metabolism. ![]() Here’s a glance at the potential benefits that researchers continue to explore.

Why? The penalty is always a tiny, tiny, fraction of the money earned by being misleading. Many are still doing it and will continue to do it. ![]() Wireless carriers have been advertising “unlimited” plans and then lying about their very real limits for the better part of fifteen years now. The remainder would be distributed to the class, which is defined as California residents who bought unlimited mobile data from AT&T and exceeded the data usage threshold “for one or more monthly billing cycles such that the user would have been eligible for data usage slowing or deprioritization by AT&T in those billing cycles under AT&T’s network management policies.”Īnd this of course could have been worse had AT&T succeeded in flinging these folks toward binding arbitration, a system advertised as more effective than class actions despite being demonstrably even more lopsided and pathetic. Of the $12 million, $462,000 is set aside for administrative costs and up to $3 million for attorneys’ fees and expenses. “Here’s how the numbers in the new settlement shake out. Though lawyers wound up doing okay, grabbing their fair share of the $12 million: Years of litigation, two major settlements, and $22 per consumer was the end result. Despite that, plaintiffs concluded that the $10 or $11 settlement payments are a good deal compared to what they would likely get at trial.” This means customers paid AT&T an average of $225 for unlimited data in months they were throttled. “The new class-action settlement says that, on average, settlement-class members exceeded the throttling thresholds during 7.5 monthly billing periods. There too, consumers are expected to get somewhere around $10 to $11 each because they likely would have seen even less after a full trial: Another, separate California class action recently came to a close with AT&T agreeing to a $12 million settlement. Consumers who were lied to and ripped off for years nabbed somewhere around $12 each. ![]() In late 2019 AT&T agreed to a $60 million settlement with the FTC without actually admitting any wrongdoing. No wonder AT&T is dangling perks like tethering without throttling as an incentive for unlimited customers to give up their old plans. AT&T spent years trying to wiggle out of the lawsuit via a variety of legal gymnastics, including at one point trying to claim that the very same net neutrality and FCC Title II rules AT&T was attempting to kill, prevented the FTC from holding it accountable. ![]() The lawsuit noted that, starting in 2011, AT&T began selling “unlimited” plans that actually throttled upwards of 90 percent of your downstream speeds after using just two or three gigabytes of data. Way back in 2014 the FTC sued AT&T for selling “unlimited” wireless data plans with very real and annoying limits. ![]() |
