Comments (4)I don't think of it as quite complete yet I have not addressed the bugs we encounter. So anyone else that wants to see something not present in it please let me know. The final version I will post as FAQ in the sugject heading....See MoreFAQ Version 3.0
Comments (7)Jodik says: The coir might look dry on top, but down in the center of the pot, it could be quite moisture-laden! I have found it helpful to insert little wooden skewers carefully into the soil to about root level, and leave them there... I take them out and press them against my cheek to test for dampness... if they feel at all damp, I wait to water... but if the skewer comes out dry, it's time to water. My coir is 4" deep in a closed pot. I put the skewer to the bottom of the pot. When I take it out how many inches of bone dry top "soil" should there be before it's time to water again? Is it 1", 2" or 4"? I just went 10 days without water and only 1" of the top was dry so am I supposed to water this direct sun pot once every two weeks or so to avoid over watering, really? And how much water for my 6" closed pot? I had been watering 1 1/2 cup or so once a week and my plant was fine but I'm now worried that was too much so I'm re-evaluating. I know what conventional wisdom says (water deep, not shallow) but that advice doesn't seem to apply to my situation. Also how long should it be before I see new leaf growth in the summer time (first season outside)? My 18 month old Red Lion so far has only grown new leaves once a year. At potting and at dormancy end....See MoreSteel cut oats
Comments (30)I finally got around to trying the steel cut oats and they are delicious. I made a big batch in my slow cooker and filled a case of glass pint canning jars halfway, and froze all but one jar containing this morning's breakfast. I've seen recipes with dried cranberries, walnuts, and other add ons, makes me look forward to the cold weather when I eat oatmeal more often....See Moretomato and pepper swap
Comments (15)If any of you want to trade some of the blue varieties, I have blue beauty, lucid gem, and blue gold berries. I don't have many but I would love to trade for some of the ones I don't have (I am only looking for blue varities please.)...See Morelindac
