Can You Make Plants Grow Faster By Speeding Up The Light/dark Cycle? If You Give Them All The Nutrients…….

Posted by admin on July 13, 2010

and water they need, but set up sunlamps, and have say 3 hours light/3 hours dark to cut the growing season down to 1/4 of what it would ordinarily be…?
Would grain, fruit or vegetables grow faster? Would they be stunted or inedible or not contain the right vitamins and minerals? Could I get a maple tree to produce beautiful autumn leaves all year round…?
I don’t have the facilities to do an experiment, so please don’t tell me to try it and see.
Anybody ever tried anything like this? PLEASE, NO POT-GROWING STORIES! That’s not what this is for. Any links to scientific studies that have actually tried this?
Thanks for all your serious answers!

Where Can You Find (or Make) Imitation Shrimp Flavoring For Vegetarian Cooking?

Posted by admin on

A lot of recipes for vegetarian crab cakes and shrimp salad call for Old Bay Seasoning. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but others swear it makes the dish taste seafoody. Here’s one example:
Zucchini “Crab” Cakes
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 T Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
(Pam, 0R 1/2 cup vegetable oil if you fry them)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in bread crumbs, minced onion, flour and seasoning. Mix well. Shape mixture into patties. Place patties on a baking sheet sprayed with ‘Pam’, and then spray the top of the patties. Bake at 350 about 30 minutes or until golden. Turn them over midway thru. – OR – In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown!
