Marrow cabbage is a cultivated variety of vegetable cabbage with thickened shoots. This cabbage is most often used as a fodder plant, and more rarely in German-speaking countries it is used for human consumption.
Sowing in the open field is possible as early as April under suitable climatic conditions. Marrow cabbage tolerates very high temperatures but also low temperatures down to -15 °C when acclimated. It is also grown as a second crop after cereals as a green manure crop to prevent nitrate leaching. This crop is considered an intercrop ("nitrate scavenger"). In spring, the nitrogen is released by rotting and becomes available again for the new crop.

Nearly every photo of mine has some record of human interaction with nature.
I have fallen in love with this interaction, this relationship between humans and nature. I don’t even look for it anymore, I just see it. In every place I visit, every photo I take, there it is.
I used to submit some of my photos to an online group that focused upon nature photography of Washington. Their only rule was that there was to be “no hand of man” – obvious evidence of human occupation or manipulation. But almost everywhere in Washington, almost everywhere in America, you can’t find what we think of as nature without the hand of man.
The trails we walk, the hills we climb, the streams we swim were all affected by this mysterious “hand of man.” Perhaps it’s not so obvious as a paved highway through a forest, but the lasting ramifications of our relationship with nature are everywhere.

A pair of souls become undone
Where were two now one
divided by this wall of death
I soon will join you yet
With my blood I'll find your love
You found the strength to end you life
As you did so shall I

Lammergeier (Gypaetus barbatus) floating past_w_9800
The Lammergeier is one of the largest old world vultures. They have a body length between 1 and 1.2 m (3.25 - 4 ft), a wingspan between 2.3 and 2.8 m (7.5 - 9.2 ft) and they weigh between 4.5 and 7 kgs (10 - 15 lbs).
Lammergeiers have a buff coloured body and head with distinctive grey and black markings on their face. Their huge wings and wedge-shaped tail are grey/black in colour and they have beard-like feathers at the base of their bill. Unlike most other species of vulture, lammergeiers do not have a bald head, this is due to bones making up the main part of their diet.
Habitat
Lammergeiers can be found at high elevations in mountainous regions of Europe, Asia and Africa. They live at altitudes between 300 and 4,500 m (984 - 14,764 ft) although they are mainly found at altitudes above 2,000 m (6,562 ft). They have extremely large home territories that range from 250 to 700 sq. kms.
Diet
Lammergeiers feed on carrion and bones. They carry large bones high into the air and drop them on rocks below. When the bones have shattered they feed on the marrow inside.
Breeding
Lammergeiers breed once per year and they usually form monogamous pairs, although polyandrous trios can be found. They breed between October and July and 1 - 3 eggs are laid, although only 1 chick usually survives.
The eggs are incubated for 53 - 60 days and the chicks fledge at around 4 months old. Females reach sexual maturity between 7 and 8 years of age and males between 8 and 9 years of age.
Predators
Common ravens, golden eagles and griffon vultures are predators of Lammergeier chicks.
Subspecies
There are three subspecies of the Lammergeier:
Gypaetus barbatus aureus
Gypaetus barbatus barbatus
Gypaetus barbatus meridionalis
Interesting Facts
Lammergeiers are also known as:
Bearded Vulture
Lammergeyer/Lammergeier
‘Freshly picked’……Cooked, freshly clicked then eaten! Four months to grow it, 4 hrs to cook it and all gone in a few minutes!! Delicious it was too - and the broad beans also out of the garden, young & tender. Glad to say there will be many more Marrow’s and a few beans too so can’t be bad. BTW, though this is Sausage meat for any vegans out there you can stuff Marrow rings with anything - I often grate carrot with a little onion & garlic, happy cooking. Alan:-)………..

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
A special thanks to everyone that have viewed my photos!!
I reached my goal I set years ago of achieving 10 million views!!
You folks out there are a lot smarter than me, so I am counting on someone, ANYONE, to tell me what's going on here.
Personal experience with the above product would be a bonus. Anonymity guaranteed.
The 2nd Annual Linked against Leukemia Gala held May 7th, 2008 at Capitale in New York City, benefitted DKMS Americas, the world's largest marrow donor center with 1.7 million donors. The event was hosted by Mario Cantone and attended by various celebrities and NYC socialites including Eva Mendes, Morgan Fairchild, Carol Alt, Astrid Munoz, Amy Ryan, Carmindy, Astrid Munoz, Lauren Davis, AJ Calloway. Designers Derek Lam and Francisco Costa. Cindy Crawford and Emanuel Chirico were honored at the event with the Mechtild Harf award. Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Sarah Connor and Natasha Bedingfield all performed at the event.
The night's theme was the "Moment of the Match," where 6 year old Kenzie Grant met her marrow donor two years after receiving her life saving transplant from Magda Boysen.
Fatty marrow on char grilled toast (more delicious St. John bread) that bring out the smoky flavours from of the char. The marrow was served unsalted and tasted only oily, rich, but ironically very clean. I enjoyed the lightly dressed parsley salad, which was a lovely blend of crisp greens, kicked up with lightly salted fresh capers and peppery red onions. The salad was the cleansing component on this otherwise artery clogging plate, balancing out the strong flavours of the grilled toasts and cutting the richness of the fatty marrow.

We had so many courgettes that I couldn't harvest them fast enough so let some turn to marrows. A cold night with possible frost is forecast so I have been harvesting the last of the summer veges.
Due to long-term poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace
The very sculptural flowers of the marrow/courgette. Nice to look at and nice to eat too, either stuffed and baked or fried in a light batter.
I don't really know how this happened but here is my theory: A small gnome / dwarfy type character scamped through my home and into the kitchen. When I was not looking, and behind my back, he catapulted a marrow seed into my yogurt. I then ate the yogurt (with the seed) and during the night this marrow grew in my fertile mouth. Contrary to what you might think it is actually rather comfortable.
Alter Ego: Dr. Afterlife
Name: Dr. Jason Marrow
Allegiance: Villain
Powers:
* Super Strength, Durability and Stamina
* Immunity to pain and toxins
* No need for sustenance
* When he strikes his victims he can put them in a temporary physical state of paralysis for up to an hour, depending on how hard he hits.
* Can revive deceased Meta's (only Meta's) but only if they have been dead for under an hour.
Weapons:
* Bulletproof Glass helmet with fluids to keep his Brain alive
Key Weakness: Relies on internal life support which keeps his organs functioning.
Origin:
Dr. Marrow was one of Avalon City's best doctor-surgeons who discovered he could bring people back from death when operating. However, some people viewed his powers as an excuse for sloppy work on the operating table due to him just reviving his patients back to life again and as a result revoked his operating license. Nobody would then hire him because of this and he began to perform his miracles on those who'd pay, most notably criminals bringing their clientele to his home to resuscitate them back to life after being shot dead. Even some villains would literally turn up dead on his doorstep with a bundle of cash and a note to "Dr. Afterlife" which became his nickname. From then on he sort of lost his morals and ethics of what was right and wrong but from a doctors point of view he valued all life, even if it was the life of a supervillain. So he fell in with a bad crowd and eventually became the valuable asset he is today but after all that time helping his health took a turn for the worse. So with advanced tech and his resources, a life support system was installed in his oversized suit which kept his consciousness alive, even a voice implant was wired into his brain to allow him to talk. This allows Dr. Afterlife to live continuously whilst keeping his unique powers, thanks to the help of T.O.X.I.N. who fused his DNA with the organic robotics they designed for him over the years as he was dying.
Saturday night at Locavore to Go in Ubud, Bali is a meat lovers delight … seriously nice food with great service at a great price.
Sorry it took me so long, but here's a rear shot of my Marrow for those who asked how the bones on the back were made.
I'm adding [https://www.flickr.com/photos/95258038@N02/]'s name here because I couldn't tag him.
As I continue to do battle with the strobist group today (i submitted a photo yesterday, accidently deleted it when I was adding it to more groups so now every time I re-submit it they thinking i'm trying to bump for more views :P) I decided to siphon off that marrow rum I started making a while ago. Remember? I wore tights?...

Anyway, after having a little taste it tastes like reallllly cheap white wine. Nasty. But whatever it was a first attempt and i'll find some idiot to drink it.
My cat decided to help later.

This week's theme was "In the style of…". I have seen this idea done so well by my contact Bloodybee
so I decided to give it a try myself. I still consider myself a novice with Photoshop but I was quite happy with how it turned out.
