Rebutia flowers
Comments (16)I have seen one photograph of a R. krainziana that had orange and red blooms on the same cactus. some blooms had petals in both colors. whole petals one color and whole another color. I am wondering if it was a photographic effect OR an aging of the bloom effect or if they really were two colors. I know that it comes in Yellow red and orange. There is a lot of variation in the cactus ball too. Sometimes I think I like cactus because they keep me confused....See MoreUpdate #2 - Re: Using cornmeal as a plant fungicide
Comments (16)To wild acres: First, it has been interesting to review the sudden reappearance of the discussions re using 'cornmeal as a plant fungicide'. Thanks for your Liriope report and your desire "to really know how this (cornmeal) works"? To answer this question is to refer back to the original university studies with peanuts for a possible answer. They reported that cornmeal encourages the growth of Trichoderma fungus which feed on mycelium and sclerotia of Sclerotina minor, Sclerotina rolfsii and all Rhizactina species. Since that report we have received enough information to add Pyricularia grisea (gray leaf spot) to the list and now, thanks to your report, possibly Phytophthora palmivora (Liriope crown rot) to be trialed and tested. The bottom line to all this is: If cornmeal does control this or that fungus, we have to test for and identify the responding fungus using scientific methods. To date academia is sputtering around this subject mostly in a negative manner. Those of us who have been testing know that cornmeal does control certain types of fungus. This would be an interesting and badly needed doctoral project. My final thoughts...Got a plant fungus? Try tossing some cornmeal on and around the problem, misting it lightly with water. It may control the fungus, repeated monthly, or it may not. If it does try to figure out the name of the controlled fungus and if it fits into any of the varieties listed above. It is always interesting to read the comments of others on this subject as they use the 'trial method' experimenting in their own backyards....See MoreIs it silly?

Comments (38)Hi Vivian! Sorry for the late reply. I just kept my seeds in a sealed envelope. I did not expect any germination, but surprisingly all of it did. This year i have more space so i figured i grow them again as my wife liked the Russo Bruno for her cooking. Most of the stuff we grow now are heirlooms but like many have posted the vigor and production on the Russo Bruno is pretty impressive. The first time i grew it (in the picture) was in our balcony and we only had maybe 6 hrs of sunlight....See MoreSmithfield Salt Pork
Comments (7)lindac92 – I just assumed salt pork was available everywhere! LOL I’m thankful it is readily available here. I use salt pork for: Boston Baked Beans New England style fish or clam chowder Occasionally when cooking string beans Savory Cretons Canadian Meat Pie (not Tourtiere) As a substitute when I don't have Pancetta on hand (soak it first to get some of the salt out) A lot of my family's French Canadian recipes use salt pork. In the past, I have made my own salt pork, pancetta and bacon. Now I just make bacon and pancetta since the salt pork is readily available....See Moresocks
