Share your experiences with this plant...
Comments (3)Hey rhizo, Looked for this at one of our local nurseries and they have never heard of it-kept saying maybe it as a perennial...maybe not hardy here...etc. I will keep looking because I agree with you that these sound marvelous. Did find out that they are from the witchhazel family. Will let you know if I find one when I search again this coming weekend!...See MoreAnyone have experience ordering plants from outside US?
Comments (8)Yikes Stush! That's kind of what I was afraid of. I've seen on the eBay listings they often say "not responsible for confiscated plants," which makes it sound like it happens at least somewhat often, and that made me nervous. Greg, the big one I'm after is Echeveria laui. There is one on eBay from Hungary with nice coloring that I have been eyeing. I'm also interested in a lot of the echeverias/pachyverias/graptoverias with really interesting coloring that turn up on eBay, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Echeveria-cv-Apricot-color-Super-rare-no-agave-aloe-ariocarpus-cactus-/171255586195?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0amp;hash=item27dfa0dd93...See MorePumpkin experiment!! Starting new plantings now!
Comments (7)I planted a few pumpkin seeds in the garden yesterday, on 8/11. So we shall see! I am also going to pop some in the big tub I have filled w/ potting soil that I used last yr for peppers but this yr I will put 3 or 4 pumpkin seeds in it. I never see the squirrels mess w/ the big pot. Maybe they can't climb up the straight up plastic tub! lol! I'm glad you're getting some pumpkins!...See MoreDoes anyone has experience in planting potatoes?
Comments (0)We are in the middle of January and in many areas with mild winter now is the most suitable time for planting potatoes. If you have sufficient experience in growing potatoes in your backyard (preparing the soil, planting, fertilizing, irrigating, harvesting etc.), you can read, edit and enrich our potato growing guide....See MoreJay 6a Chicago
