This is a bit of a concern ... Can torts be affected by E coli?

I saw the other day on news that this EColi breakout was now over. Local big box stores have bags of it ...

Evening all. Yet another hot and muggy humid day following yesterday evening’s heavy downpours. Was able to get our back lawn mowed despite it being soggy. The wxr prognosticators are calling for more heavy downpours this evening, Saturday, and Sunday. This includes the already devastated area of Ellicott City ( floods last week ). So, figured to get the lawn cut now before it grows many more inches until it dries out sometime next week.

Our Sully came out out much earlier today to chow down grass and weeds. We treated him to a bowl of Mazuri, fresh corn, and a carrot. Sully normally ventures out in the early evening so today’s early adventure at noon was nice. He might think it’s going to pour down rain again... so, enjoyed some sunshine and grass.

Still working on the many pine trees that fell during our late Winter snowstorm. I have most of the wood cut, chopped and split and burning up in our BBQ.

I cut our grass yesterday for the same reason. If I had left it any longer I would have needed a scythe

There were a few posts about that a while ago and I think the concensus was no. That torts are able to handle it.

I like the idea of a bbq. Yum. And please keep safe. I hope the weather does not turn out too bad.

Muscadine grape vines covering our RockSolid Owl
Some Jalapeno peppers
Some Brandywine tomatoes
Some unid zucchini
And, figlets.

That is worrying for the US.
Have you posted it on the main forums Linda?
Lola likes Romaine and it's one of the things he has been happy to eat with the critical care mix but I am going to check the source before buying anymore.

I used a scythe to cut the grass of my late sister's house before it was sold.
The back garden was like a jungle but I opted for the scythe mainly because it was full of slow worms and I didn't want to chop them up.

This is i think old news and many have earlier chimed in that torts are not impacted. The source was located and removed. Romaine here is now fully stocked on the shelves. I don’t believe there is any concern.

Food and Drug Administration officials said, however, that romaine now for sale on grocery shelves is safe to eat. The growing season in the Yuma, Ariz. region, which produced the contaminated lettuce, ended April 16. According to an FDA blog post, “Any contaminated product from the Yuma growing region has already worked its way through the food supply and is no longer available for consumption. So any immediate risk is gone.”

I’ve just checked — a little under 3 hours (by train). And it’s likely that we’re not going on the same train with the orchestra and the “non-traumatizing” Russian moms. We might have a peaceful journey after all.

Good luck to your daughter,
I'm sure she'll sing like an angel,
and have a lovely day!

Yes I did see the other posts as I read on but was too lazy to go and edit it.
Hopefully everyone will ignore my post.
Thanks anyway
