I don't have any iris seeds but I noticed you were looking for spinach and cantaloupe. I would be willing to trade those two for some hot cherry pepper and cayenne. If that is ok with you

According to someone at Peaceful Valley, this isn't the variety of rapeseed that is appropriate for human consumption. (I've already bought a pound.) Does anyone know where to get canola seed? Specifically canola, which is the variety that has low erucic acid content? (The kind they make vegetable oil out of... plain rapeseed can't be used for that, slightly toxic to people.) If anyone know where I could get some, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Yes I am here every now and then. My concotion is simple. You have to mix 50% canola oil and 50% Ultrafine oil (horticultural oil, or volck oil) then follow the recommended ratios to control your specific pests. It is important that you mix the oil first before mixing with water for increased solubility. I found this to be more effective than the Ultrafine oil alone, and cheaper too. One pint of canola plus one pint of ultrafine makes it twice more ammunition but not twice the price. And again, just like the ultrafine oil, follow directions for citrus or specific to your plant, don't overdo it. If you overdo it on your citrus, severe leaf drop is the result especially coming towards spring.

As a Master Gardener, I always recommend a soil test if I am asked, but I am baffled by the condescending manner in which some of you answered natalija_gardener's question. She asked where she could buy a product and some of you did indeed lecture her on why she should not make her own fertilizer, told her to get the soil test (why do you assume she did not?) and generally behaved in a very unkind manner. There are many good reasons for mixing your own fertilizer and I will not go into depth about those reasons as that is not the question that was asked. This person has a right to do so and on a public forum also has the expectation that her question might be answered in a simple straightforward manner. I applaud all of those who did so!
