| My husband and I are looking to adopt, we are in our mid 30's. We have been married for a few years now and are wanting to expand our family. We live in New Jersey as we own a nice home on almost a acre of land. I'm unable to have children of mine own but I would love and open my heart to another child just as much. I would also be a stay at home mom.. We would like to have the birth family part of the childs life as we would want them to know their background, but would respect the birthparents wishes either way. We are a very close net family as we are always there to help one another as well as taking trips together. . We are big animal lovers as we have 3 cats, and I volunteer at the shelters during the week. My husband is a hardworker as he is a tech at mercedes benz, a jack of all trades, a singer and musican. I am also a musican, painter and I love to draw. We have so much to offer a child that is brought into our life as we have everything we want but a child to love. . If you'd like to talk my email is praying4ourangel@hotmail.com hope to hear from you. I can send a pic if you'd like to see. ↑ |

| Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are so excited to welcome ain infant into our home soon. I am 34 and my husband is 39. We live in Upstate, SC. We live on a small farm with our three boys who are 12, 9 and 7. We have horses, goats and chickens, a creek, and lots of room to run and play. We have lost two daughters at birth, who were our first and third children. We feel our family is not complete and want to add more children to our family, and feel led to do that through adoption. We know this is a very difficult time for you as you are faced with this pregnancy and probably not sure what to do. Please know that we would love your child more than words can say. He/She will be loved and spoiled by two doting parents, and three adoring brothers who can not wait to have a baby brother or sister to help take care of and pamper. My husband works in computer engineering and is just finishing his Bachelors degree, and I am a stay at home mom who does some work in marketing from home. We are very active in our church and our whole church family has supported us financially and in prayer throughout our adoption journey, and can not wait to meet a new addition. We would love to have you involved in the life of your child through letters and pictures, and occasional visits, if you so desire. We look forward to meeting you and will be praying for you as you make your decisions! You can reach us for more info at stacey@thebrooksfarm.com ↑ |

| Dear Andrea I would love to talk to you and have us learn more about each other. I am 38 and CHristian. Also I am a stay at home mom. I am hoping for an open adoption( from letters,calls to visits), even if we are different types of personalities, we would have the common bond of the baby. Though I can see for some people it would make it harder for them. So Im sure we can work it out and I would respect your wishes in this. There is so much more to say, but I am sure you will get many replies from wonderful people hoping to adopt so, I will keep this short. Email me anytime at lisacurt1@hotmail.com and we can get to know each other better. Take Care and God Bless Lisa ↑ |

| (Turnip green production is discussed in Horticultural Information Leaflet No. 16, Greens For Market.) Turnips and rutabagas are among the most commonly grown and widely adapted root crops. They are members of the Cruciferae or mustard family and belong to the genus Brassica. Turnips are (Brassica rapa) and rutabagas are (Brassica napobrassica). The two are similar in plant size and general characteristics. Turnip leaves are usually light green, thin and hairy, while the rutabagas are bluish- green, thick and smooth. The roots of turnips generally have little or no neck and a distinct taproot, while rutabaga roots are often more elongated and have a thick, leafy neck and roots originating from the underside of the edible root as well as from the taproot. Turnips and rutabagas are cool- season crops and will make their best root growth during relatively low (40 to 60 0F) temperature growing conditions. Note: They can be grown as either a spring or fall crop; however, rutabagas require a longer growing season and should be planted as early in the season as possible. These crops are biennials which implies seed production during the second year. However, if an extended period of cool weather occurs after spring-planted turnips or rutabagas are well along in development, they may form seedstalks which renders them unsalable. Soils - A moderately deep, highly fertile soil with pH 6.0 to 6.5 is best for growing turnips and rutabagas. A soil test should be taken and lime added as needed. Varieties - Varieties differ mainly in color and shape of root. There are white- and yellow-fleshed varieties of both crops, although most turnip varieties are white-fleshed and most rutabaga varieties are yellow- fleshed. Turnips Purple Top White Globe - 58 days from seed; bright purple crown, white below the crown, 5 to 6 inches in diameter, globe; leaves dark green and cut. Just Right F1, - 35 to 40 days; white root; 7 to 8 inches in diameter; flattened globe; light green leaves that are deeply cut. Use only as a fall crop. Rutabagas American Purple Top - 90 days; deep purple crown; yellow below the crown; globe-shaped root; 5 to 6 inches in diameter with yellow flesh color; medium size, blue-green, cut leaves. Laurentian - 90 days; purple crown; light yellow below crown; globe- shaped roots 5 to 5 1/2 inches in diameter with yellow flesh; medium blue-green, cut leaves. Fertilization - Fertilizer applications should be based on soil test recommendations. A general recommendation for turnips and rutabagas is 40 to 60 lb nitrogen (N), 40 to 60 lb (P2O5) and 60 to 100 lb K2O per acre. Apply 1 to 2 lb of boron per acre either in the fertilizer or spray solubar. Planting Dates Spring Fall* Coastal Plain February 1 to April 15 August 1 to September 15 Piedmont February 15 to April 30 July 15 to September 15 Mountains March 1 to July 1 August 15 to September 15 *Note: Rutabaga must be seeded roughly 2 1/2 to 3 months before heavy frost. Stand Establishment - Multiple rows on a raised seedbed will increase production efficiency per unit of land. Seedbeds can range from 3 to 5 feet wide depending on planting and cultivating equipment. Seed should be drilled 1/2 inch deep, 4 inches in row, in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, which will result in more uniform growth and greater ease of handling at harvest. Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 lb of seed per acre will be required. Thinning is not normally necessary if the planter is properly adjusted but if needed, plants should be thinned to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. Pest Management Weeds - If cultivation is used to control weeds that emerge, it should be shallow (less than 2 inches deep). For herbicide recommendations check the latest issue of the NCCVR (North Carolina Commercial Vegetable Recommendations, AG-586) or your county Extension center. Insects - Turnip aphids, flea beetles, root maggots and wireworms are serious pests. Root maggots and wireworms attack the roots and control requires preplant applications of the proper insecticides to the soil. Aphids and flea beetles damage the tops and a spray program may be needed to control them. Diseases - Clubroot, root knot, leaf spot, white rust, white spot, anthracnose and alternaria are several disease problems. Certain insects and diseases can be controlled chemically, while others may require cultural operations. Consult the latest issue of theNCCVR (North Carolina Commercial Vegetable Recommendations, AG-586) or your county Extension center for specific recommendations. Irrigation - Turnips and rutabagas require an abundant supply of moisture to insure a high quality product. Most soils will require 1.5 inches of water every 7 to 10 days. Harvesting - Turnip roots are harvested for bunching when 2 inches in diameter. Turnip roots which will be topped are harvested when 3 inches in diameter. Rutabagas are harvested when roots are 4 or 5 inches in diameter. Turnips with tops are washed and tied in bunches of about four to six plants. Topped turnips and rutabagas for the general market are sold by either volume or weight. Topping is recommended for sales in most wholesale and retail outlets. "Topping" is the removal of the leaves from the fleshy root. The roots are commonly packed in transparent film bags for individual consumers. Storage - Storage requirements are temperatures of 32 to 35 0F and relative humidities of 90 to 95%. Yields - Good average yields of turnips are 300 cwt/acre while rutabagas will yield around 400 cwt/acre. Steps to Successful Production of Turnips and Rutabagas Find a market. (This can be difficult for rutabagas.) Select a friable, moderately deep soil. Soil test for lime, fertilizer and nematicide needs. Lime to pH 6.0 to 6.5. Choose a recommended variety. Plant in time to allow harvest for your market. Irrigate. Harvest before pithiness begins. Store at 32 to 35 0F and high humidity (90 to 95%). * For all pest management recommendations check the latest issue of the NCCVR (North Carolina Commercial Vegetable Recommendations, AG-586) or your county Extension center. ---------------------------- ---------------------------------- ------------------ Recommendation s for the use of chemicals are included in this publication as a convenience to the reader.
