Mis-labeled plants
Comments (7)Yep, lots of label-swapping done by customers. I also saw a lady pop out two of the plants from one cell pack and put in two from another....I guess she wanted a mix of plants and didn't want to buy two cell packs so she just traded them and woe unto you the next customer that thinks they're getting four of a kind. It pays to look at the leaves of the plants in the cell pack to see if they are all alike. Even so, last year I got a 6-pack of pepper plants labeled "Italian Roasting Sweet Red Peppers" and instead they were chili peppers. I don't eat hot peppers at all, and these plants of course grew into huge, wildly productive bushes. I gave away tons and tons....See MoreMy wonderful surprise!

Comments (38)The same plant has been named several times. The first name published is the valid one : xPachyveria 'Powder Puff'. There is a rare and beautiful variegated form : http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http://www.xericworld.com/forums/attachment.php%3Fattachmentid%3D4300%26stc%3D1%26thumb%3D1%26d%3D1328500789&imgrefurl=http://www.xericworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t%3D2916&h=600&w=800&tbnid=0sNXg7oYf2RBPM:&zoom=1&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&usg=__phoemgUuUrtoDg3XBsgbuNlqcWw=&docid=88peNb3TxGTVSM...See MoreThailand?....Vietnam?....China?....Looking at fish labeling
Comments (25)I don't buy the fish from Asia or South America... a lot of things like farmed shrimp are helping deplete the world of ecologically-significant mangrove trees, in addition to their polluted rearing environments. Up here in the north, I have no idea where the Gulf of Mexico shrimp were caught, so I tend to avoid, but not as hard and fast as avoiding the Asian sourced shrimp. In season here, I have a source for rhode island red shrimp... I eat those with gusto! Most of the year they are in waters too deep to net. Sweeter and more delicate than regular shrimp, they don't ship well. I will buy some farmed fish - Arctic char when I can find it - it is raised in self-contained lakes in Canada or Iceland, and I trust those sources. I'll also eat rainbow trout. I love just about all fish, except maybe flounder (too bland). But for sustainability reasons there are some I no longer eat. My toro (bluefin tuna belly) days are done. I''m not fond of the canned fish taste (tuna, salmon), although there is a limited place for tinned sardines if packed in EVOO by a reputable company. I can't wait to get a recreational fishing license when I move. Fresh caught lake or river fish can't be beat! So, anyhow, for me location counts. North America or, when appropriate, northern Europe....See MoreLilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca
