Satisfied customer…
I sold some seeds to a FB friend and got the DM in the featured image just this morning. They planted 2 and got 2 popped up. That’s always a good feeling. Now they are going to try their hand at cloning once its big enough to take cuttings from.
Seed viability check-necessary “QC”
A reputable seller will test their wares. If you pack parachutes, the rule is you jump with one you’ve loaded after loading 10. Thankfully this isn’t life or death but still needs to be done. I took 10 fairly random seeds as a representative of the seed yield that occurred recently. I purposely included some…
Spring has sprung
Now that the raised bed has had it’s maintenance it’s time to move the saplings outdoors. A quick check of long term weather tells me no freezes on the horizon. We should be good to go. The clones started indoors had a real good 2 month head start. When they have a real good headstart…

Beating the heat outdoors with an off-cycle grow
I wont get into politics here with global warming & all…just my 2 cents as an AZ resident with a green thumb. The summers seem to be getting hotter. The last 2 “normal” spring to fall seasons were not good. It got hot too early, stayed hot and along with that came budworms and other…

Spiff up your soil with organic compost
One of the best ways to spend just under $40 on amazon or ebay is to pop for a compost tumbler. I opted for the double compartment one shown below. Get yourself a plastic bucket with a lid or save big mayo jars from Costco. Start saving all your kitchen waste–coffee grounds, tea bags, egg…
