I picked up an entire selection of pickling spices - Bay leaves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, celery seeds, dill seeds, Jamaican Allspice, black peppercorns, Szechuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, yellow mustard seed, and curry powder - at a health food store yesterday. The only item on my list that they didn't have was brown mustard seed. There's a larger health food store on the other side of town. I'll to there for those seeds and the Kosher salt. Everything was so very fresh, in bulk, and sooo much cheaper than I would have paid for the jarred spices at a grocery store. My tomatoes here in North Dakota are just starting to come on with small green tomatoes. I plan on making several batches of these four versions of pickled green tomatoes. I've got everything ready...just waiting on the cherry and olive tomatoes to be fully grown but still green. http://www.gardenbetty.com/2011/08/four-ways-to-pickled-green-tomatoes/

media.. is a water management system ... predictability is one key .... so if you have all the same pots ... with all the same media .. then they will all dry out.. around the same time .. that makes life very easy ...if you throw dirt ... soil .... into the equation ... there will be much less predictability.. and you will end up with watering problems ... are you doing this in the house???? ken ps: you could probably use straight perlite.. if you were willing to add all nutrients.. thru water sol fert ....

welty, blueberries do not self pollinate. That means that the seedling predictability is impossible. Especially for the patent protected cultivars. Blueberries can be propagated by seed but you can't produce a named variety that way. That's just the way it is. You'll need to purchase plants. If seeking PP cultivars, you will have to buy them from a licensed dealer. P.S. In the future, this is not the forum for swapping of seeds and plants. Check out the exchange forums.

These two pic are the same plant but in different colours. Please can anyone tell me the name of this plant? thanks
