You can also use heat tape and cut it as long as you want it to be to fit your shelves. Here is a video on using it for reptile heating- it shows how to put it together. It can be used for a lot of things besides reptiles though like plants, incubators etc...

My gardenias are just starting to flower here. Nothing like the scent of gardenias!!

I have a way to root all kinds of vines that I like to use. First get a rubbermaid or tupperware container at least 3-4 inches deep. Then use the soft floral foam (light green) and cut it to fit tightly into the container. While it is in the container cut into 1 inch blocks with a knife. Put...

HI, i have a couple of biodomes from Parks as well. I use them for alot of my tropicals seeds that take awhile to germinate and need to stay moist but not overly so, so they don't rot. I took a sharpie and wrote numbers above each hole in the stryrofoam holder thingy. Then in a notebook I write...

Gardenias like acidic soil that is very well drained and high in organic matter. You can grow them in pots and overwinter in a greenhouse if you live up north. I give mine a little miracid (or the miracle grow for azaleas) about once a month during the growing season. They also can get iron...

Hi, they finally showed up today. They look to be in really good shape. Thank you I am really excited to try these. Someone on another forum posted some photos of some they bought somewhere. They look really cool..very purply blue. They said they make nice salad tomatoes.

The only way we caught the snake was because he tried to get out of the milk crate through one of the holes and got stuck lol. He was...

My friend from Calif sent me Cardoon seeds a few yrs ago. I dont think they liked it here. They did good for awhile and then when it got real hot and humid during the summer, they sorta petered out.

Hopefully you remembered to send mine. Sent paypal around the 4th. Still waiting lol.

I grew purple jalepenos last year. Man they were way hotter than the regular ones and very pretty and prolific. I got the seeds from Totally Tomatoes they weren't that much.

Sent an email :)

Very pretty!

I have a variegated lemon that has striped outer rind and pink flesh on the lemon but when I juiced them the juice is the regular color. It was supposed to be pink juice but it isn't, the flesh is a pretty pink though. I like my meyer lemon the best. I would grow it just for the blooms alone...

I'm in NE FL. It does freeze here in the winter but is mostly pretty mild. Summers are the worst time for gardening when it is muggy and hot and all my tomatoes die lol.
