I would like the Black Cohosh, plus instructions on how to get it to germinate. I have some store bought seed still cooking from one year ago and no germination as of yet. What do you do to get plants?? I have Rudbeckia laciniata, Eupatorium maculatum, Caulaphylum thalictroides(Blue Cohosh), Boltonia asteroids, and Smilax ???.

Funny. I love my cats, but sometimes I'd like to aim something at them besides the water hose (just kidding). Thanks for the advice. Upon a walk of the garden yesterday, I have more browning issues and thought I'd better group my problems together in two questions on the discussion forum in case I have problems that are related on the plants in question. I covered the witchita blue, juniperus squamata holger, and juniperus chinensis blue point. Maybe you'd like to check those out and see what you think. Thanks. tess

glad to hear that. Now that my Buckthorn is almost annihilated I'm seeing more little plants come up.

I would get unfinished cabinets then order the blue analine powder, the one you mix with water. You can order from Woodcraft like Handymac explained. Then you need to get a large piece of the same kind of wood or plywood your cabinet is made of. Mix the dye and and try different strengths. You may also get some other colors like black or red to tweek your color. If you want to mix two colors, be sure to add water to make a base for each color. Don't mix two powders together. Make individual colors first then mix the liquids. It's kinda fun and you can learn usefull information.
