I have valerian seedlings. I believe I also have tumeric, but I will have to check the viability of the rhizones...if I don't have them, I have a friend that does.

Just yesterday a friend told me about how he observed a fly (robber fly I think it was) attack and eat a squash bug in his garden. Most common crops can still be planted. It's even a bit early to be planting the ones which need cooler, fall growing conditions. Yellow crookneck is a big favorite of mine. It has flavor like no other summer squash I know of. Did you plant a sweet potato tuber? I suppose that would work but normally sweet potatoes are propagated by rooted slips. Jim

The roots are planted rather shallowly - just below the surface of the soil. The rootlets spread out like fingers just under the soil line. FataMorgana

I am just starting to learn about seed saving. I have some Valerian Root that I would like to save seeds from, but I'm not sure how. Can anyone offer any suggestions? TIA! Michelle
