Leonotis leonurus oe Wild Dagga. Mt neighbor gave me some seeds for it this past Christmas. I'm interested in trying these, even though it will be considered and annual. Anybody grown this? Any hints or tips?

Taken last summer. My house may be a shack, but the view is stunning.

@valley ranch I recently went through something similar with a favorite sweatshirt. I know it sounds cliche, but stop actively looking for it. Sigh, and expect to pay for it. Then go on with your normal activities, and it should come out of hiding. By the by, have you looked in the...

My 6x8 greenhouse that I bought 3 or 4 (or was it 5?) years ago was finally built in December, as a sort-Christmas present from the spouse. We have put gravel about 6 inches deep inside, and will be outside, after tying it down with lag bolts to a 4x4 treated frame, which will act as a thermal...

I'm having a bit of a love/hate relationship with you all.:D I am compiling a list of all the seed sites you've listed, for browsing on a chilly and rainy day (that's a good thing!), but you're tempting me to buy more seeds, and I'm on overflow! I ordered from Parks, Baker Creek and SSE back...

I've never had a problem with baking the soil. No family members wearing gas masks either! :gig

Now I don't feel so bad about spending $100 on seeds, lol. Thanks for that! Can you explain what they meant about the baking soil?

Oh, I entirely agree on that!

I won't admit what I've spent on seeds this year, but I am replacing all my old stock of seeds, and in light of there being a bit of a 'run' on seeds, I've made sure I have more than I need, which I will then trade off or give to neighbors and to the MG's for their projects. I have been lazy in...

They leaves way too soon, yet a piece of them remains forever in our hearts. My sincerest sympathies.

Another seed site book marked! That should be fun to explore. My credit card is whimpering, I hit both Baker Creek and SSE. If the USPS stays true to current record, I should have the seeds in time to start them in June. :D

Well, I am more hazardous to my wallet with seed catalogs than in an expensive clothing store. I've sticky noted both SSE and Baker Creek, some duplicates between the two, in case I hit a 'sold out' on something. Saturday morning will be my spending spree. Cross yer fingers pleaze!

Does anybody deal with Seed Savers Exchange? I've bought from Baker Creek for a number of years, and tried Seed Savers for a couple of bean seeds last year, but was less than thrilled since what I ordered and what I ended up with weren't the same thing. A couple of others were fine thought.

Thank you muchly for that link! I've forwarded it to my email to peruse closer, but it already piqued my curiosity discussing lumens and Kelvin (color). I've been using fish tank bulbs and tin foil as reflectors on a sideboard in my kitchen (my greenhouse is 95% up!) so this may help a great...

Emoji poltergeists?

I have let my MG membership lapse, but I hope that changes at work will allow me to get back to doing a bit of teaching with the Junior MG's, or volunteer for the classes given for the low/no income group about growing their own in buckets. The declutter part serves a purpose. Long story...

Hi from the Knoxville TN area. :)

Is that like an advent...wreath... that you tear off one sheet per day until the roll is empty on December 31? That would be so appropriate in my house! :D

Thank you for that tid bit!! How far away from the plants should you put the bowls?

Question, please. I have had years where I seriously considered building a ark, so when we relocated our veggie beds, I was mulling over ways to address that issue. I have removable hoops that I used this year that started with row cover (and spring clamps to hold it on) and once it warmed up...
