I can SO see him letting loose with both barrels! I'd sure love it if they replaced JLo with someone who's an actual singer, rather than just a cut-rate booty-shaking performer. In spite of all of his "Yo!" fluff, I've gotta admit that Randy is usually the most constructive judge, although not by a large margin. I've never been much of a Joshua fan but I thought his performances last week were better. Maybe they need to recruit another Brit to replace Steven Tyler – like maybe Elton John!

Yes! Phillip's dad was so awesome. Very nice point about Michael being able to handle that song at 12. Perhaps it's not a maturity thing? I have to vehemently disagree (Sorry) about Joshua and No More Drama. I felt that he very much connected with the song, especially at the end. I think it might be my favorite performance of the whole season. And finally, yes. The judges are pretty pointless. Jimmy is definitely saving the show. I hope he replaces Steven or Jennifer next year as an official judge although I appreciate he is in rehearsals with them. Really, really miss Simon.

Thu, 17 May 2012 13:12:53 +0000 http://permissiontoperuse.com/?p=10042#comment-37434 The judges criticized Phillip's cover of "Disease" as being subdued, but I thought it was a smoldering performance. That he held back was perfectly in sync with the message of the song. And I love, love, love that he keeps bringing Mindi Abair in for accompaniment!! I thought it was especially touching how openly emotional and affectionate Phillip's Dad was. As a Dad myself, it really tugged at my heart when he was describing how it made him feel to get to see his son living his dreams. You're totally right about Jessica - she lacks the maturity for the words to have any authenticity. I thought her Jackson 5 cover was really lackluster - at 12, Michael Jackson had more connection the the material than Jessica did. Joshua's cover of the Mary J. Blige song was nice, but again, he was completely disconnected from the meaning of the lyrics. I didn't think it was a strong choice for him. I grow more and more weary of the judges. They're all but worthless with their gushy, doting praise and scant helpful remarks. Without Jimmy, this show would tank. He's the voice of reason since we no longer have Simon around to deliver unvarnished opinions.

Most testing kits test for other deficiencies as well. If it is a nitrogen deficiency they do sell soil rich in nitrogen. Since you have already planted your vegetables, just add the nitrogen rich soil in on top. For new plants, make sure the soil you purchase is rich in all nutrients. Caterpillars get a bit tricky. There's this thing called Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) that is naturally found in soil that is safe for humans, birds and insects to consume. However, for whatever reason it kills only caterpillars. It's easy enough to purchase the product and spray it on the your plants, the trick is that it only kills caterpillars if they consume it. Which is sad, but they are pesky little things.

What do you recommend for that? We are going to get the soil checked today to see what we might need for that. Yes, I do see these green little caterpillars on the broccoli.

The first is that you have caterpillars, and the second is that there is a nitrogen deficiency. I could be wrong but typically nitrogen deficiencies cause the plant to turn a very light green and the leaves will turn somewhat yellowish.
