Welcome to Everything Croton -- a collection of all things Croton, our history, our homes, our issues, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Today the village held a very special ceremony----the event was to recognize National Police week, where officers who died in the line of duty across our nation are honored and remembered, and where officers serving are thanked for their service.

TURLEY--VIRGINIA'S GERRYMANDER FLOP LEAVES DEMOCRATS FRUSTRATED--AND DANGEROUS



“Eff around and find out”: That taunt from Hakeem Jeffries celebrating Virginia’s gerrymander did not age well.

On Friday, the House minority leader found out that Virginia’s Supreme Court was not quite as gleeful as he about Democrats’ attempt to virtually eliminate Republican representation in the purple state.

The court just cooked the party’s infamous lobster, a district over 100 miles long that was designed to help devour the GOP’s slender majority in the House of Representatives.

It also cooked the ambitions of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic establishment, which tossed aside any pretense of principle in a raw political gambit.

The resulting faceplant is nothing short of legendary: Spanberger’s Democrats have succeeded in alienating half of the state. MORE AT Virginia's gerrymander flop makes Democrats more dangerous

THE CROTON GARDENER #3

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST AND BACK FOR 2026 #3...THE CROTON GARDENER... useful tips, alerts, shopping, and much more...AS WE MOVE INTO THE SEASON! Here's the 3rd installment....(#1 is here).   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW AND ENJOY. P.S. #2 IS HERE.

AND NOW IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

---It seems we had extra heavy debris to clean up this year in the tomato bed but that didn't stop us from getting our plants in the ground---in early April!  Yes....it can be done.......and we have tomatoes earlier than anyone else as a result. (The rule is not until mid-May.)

If you are prepared for some losses, this procedure has worked out well for us for years.  We simply cover--and uncover--our fledgling plants with plastic bottles, cups and a plastic bag on those days when the temps drop, essentially creating temporary greenhouses.  Our 2026 plants have not only survived the recent frosts but are doing fantastic.  Just remember---being diligent and methodical is key---the plants must be covered, uncovered and re-covered again when needed.

---IRIS SEASON....bearded (click on the photo above) or Japanese, we love these flowers....read all about them here AS WE MOVE INTO IRIS SEASON.

---ABOUT THOSE MOLES, VOLES & SHREWS.  We have a few and have learned to live with them...within reason. Some people however have major issues....Tips and Techniques for Keeping Moles and Voles Out of Your Garden - GreatGardenPlans

---WE LIKE THIS BOOK FROM CROTON'S JAN JOHNSEN: FLORATOPIA https://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2021/02/press-release-celebrated-gardener-and.html

--HEIRLOOM TOMATOES; we love the flavor, although admittedly many varieties are not "pretty" and the yields are often inconsistent.  Our favorite is PURPLE CHEROKEE CHIEF (you can generally find it at Super Foodtown of Croton)....we mix in heirlooms with BETTER BOY, EARLY GIRL AND the cherry tomato variety known as BLACK CHERRY (AMAZING COLOR AND YIELDS).  You can find these at Croton Shoprite, Super Foodtown, etc.
