    Florida cracker refers to original colonial-era English and American pioneer settlers of what is now the U.S. state of Florida, and their descendants.

    The first Florida crackers arrived in 1763 when Spain traded Florida to Great Britain. (Not exactly true Long before Spain gave up Florida settlers from Georgia had started making settlements along the St johns river making there way south from Cowtown (Jacksonville).


    When Naming this site, Rather than saying the First coast (boring and the domain taken by Jacksonville news) I named this area East of the St Johns river The CrackerCoast. this includes the entire 7th congressional district.

    The cost of smoking has grown redicules, beyond that the additives make it more poisionous than it needs be.
    My Pipe tobacco supplier has been Walgreens but the cost has just quadrupled and it has left me to researching either growing my own or buying whole leaf which I am looking into at www.leafonly.com .
    Having set up a large Hydroponic system I am considering actually growing it.
    There is no Fedral tax on leaf tobacco

    Many homeowners wish to grow a few plants of tobacco in their yard or garden for ornamental purposes or for personal use. Tobacco plants are usually no more difficult to grow than many other garden plants, but it is difficult to cure, age, and ...

    There is NO plant that has plumb sides. And when we try to make them so. We are making an irreversible mistake that will end up leaving the bottom part of the shrub bare. (fig D4)

    If you want a formal style hedge that is square with the ground then you must compromise a little and be sure that the lower portion comes out further than the top about at least a 15 degree angle depending on the sun exposure (Fig D1&2)

    (if the side of the shrub has a southern exposure with little or no shading than you may be able to keep a near 90 degree angle but if the exposure is to the north you need at least a 23 degree angle to allow sun to get to the lower branches.) Formal hedges have their place in a formal garden but even at Versailles the greatest Garden in the world. I noticed that the formal plants were pruned into shapes that followed their natural form and there were many areas of the gardens that were quite soft and natural.

    There are many winter celebrations that antedate our placement of Christmas on December 25.

    Many outside traditions are often adopted by neighboring or invading cultures. Some historians will often assert that many traditions are directly derived from previous ones rooting all the way back to those begun in the cradle of civilization or beyond, much in a way that correlates to speculations on the origins of languages.

    Even in modern cultures these gatherings are still valued for emotional comfort, having something to look forward to at the darkest time of the year. This is especially the case for populations in the near polar regions of the hemisphere. The depressive psychological effects of winter on individuals and societies are experienced as coldness, tiredness, malaise, and inactivity. This is known as seasonal affective disorder. Insufficient sunlight in the short winter days increases the secretion of melatonin in the body, throwing off the circadian rhythm with longer sleep. Exercise, light therapy, increased negative ion exposure (which can ...
