It only takes minutes after application for soluble fertilizers to make their way into the plant's nutrient stream. Many nutrients need to be in the nutrient stream constantly for the plant to grow normally. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are considered mobile nutrients and are readily borrowed from one plant part to sustain other parts, particularly strong sinks like new growth o flowers/fruit. Calcium and boron are usually considered immobile nutrients, and need to be in the nutrient stream at all times for normal growth to occur. Sulfur, chloride, copper, zinc, manganese, iron and molybdenum are intermediate in mobility, and only under certain circumstances are intermediate elements mobile. The mobility of the intermediate mobile nutrients is usually linked to the breakdown of amino acids and proteins in older parts of the plant under low nitrogen conditions and their movement to younger parts of the plant via the phloem stream. Again though, unless nitrogen availability is good, these elements are mostly immobile. That it rains doesn't mean all the fertilizer you applied is washed from the soil. Elements attach themselves to colloidal surfaces and tend to remain there to some degree until they are exchanged. Cation exchange in soils occurs when root hairs utilize proton pumps to pump hydrogen ions (H+) into the soil. The hydrogen ions effectively displace the cations that are attached to negatively charged colloidal surfaces, making the cations available then for root uptake and incorporation into the nutrient stream.

I also prefer crushed with no added liquid. Mine are more "diced", but same processing. I don't want anything to dilute that garden fresh flavor, that's a big part of why I'm preserving in the first place!! Because I use them in soups or sauces, there's no need for halves/whole tomatoes for me. I'm going to cut them into bite sized pieced anyway. You can fit more tomatoes in a jar if they're cut up too, saving time and money! Deanna

I purchased a significant quantity of schon flooring I bought a LL because their sample flooring most closely matched the exhisting flooring that was in the house when we purchased it I know you can never match exactly but it was close I wish I had red the reviews posted above before I purchased the floor. We did not buy the most expensive but bought a mid -range engineered red oak floor or should I say i thought it was. There are several things that upset me when I opened the box !st there are no expansion cuts in the flooring, it was made where? Virginia or China both are listed on the box. I wood on the bottom layer is cheap looking , the wood had been in the house for several months so it should have been climatized to the area , 2nd most of the floor is warped & I am not sure what to do about that, if a floor is dried properly one would think it shouldn't warp to that extent. 3rd color variation I am aware that there are color variances in every product but PINK when is red oak flooring that color & it is predominate in all the boxes along with some other various and assorted in descirbable colors for which there is no name.

Oh, yeah, I'm a coffee drinker too. Three cups a day usually. Have to have one in the morning as I read the paper, but it's the Maxwell House International Coffee beverage, not regular coffee. I've been drinking the Cafe Francois flavor for years and years, if they ever discontinue it I don't know what I'll do. sleeper, I recently saw the coconut water at Stop'n Go and was tempted to try it.
