    Remove calcium(?) stain from stone fountain?

    No chlorine in water.  I'm assuming it's calcium buildup.  Chemical to remove this?

    I have 4 planted.  Considering we're growing chinenses this late in the season (why?), there is little chance I will get any ripe pods.  But hey, I will not complain.  I will not snivel.  May a pestiferous blight be upon your Serlanos!!!!!!!!!!!

    Devv's 2015 - 16, Life is good!

    You're back, and we're watching! :woohoo: Those dogs are stunners.  Of course, grand baby leaves them in the dust.  I imagine you haven't stopped counting your blessings, yet?  Funny how a serious set-back puts everything in a new light.  I hope that rcw bed is as successful as Windchicken's. ...

    Composted cow manure

    Good luck.  I hope the pH issue doesn't drive you nuts.  I pay no attention to it, although I do know my water pH is 6.0.  I stick to animal/poultry manures...fish emulsions, and various meals like alfalfa, and feather.  This season, I will experiment with rabbit manure.

    I tried the paper towel at the same time.  Nothing.  They're just seeds, and I can get more.  I hope these Montufar seeds germinate.

    Class!  Seeing the tile reminded of a side table design by KAT Fabrication for their Santa Maria grill.  The 16"x16" tile sits in a steel frame on either side of the grill, so that when the tile gets stained or cracked, it can be easily popped out and replaced.  Simple..

    Composted cow manure

    At this point, it appears I'm wrong.  I never get more than a small handful of weeds (if that) in my garden no matter what manures/soil amendments I use.  This is due, mainly, to the fact that my garden always has 3-5" of mulch covering it.  Any weed seeds rarely see the sun, so, no germination...

    seeds Germinating Rocoto/Manzano seeds...Fail

    I bought some rocoto seeds a few years back from pepperlover(Judy).  They did not germinate.  When I told this to Judy, she made a remark that these were tough to germinate, or something to that effect.  I thought she meant rocoto seeds, in general.  Maybe she just meant that particular lot of...

    Composted cow manure

    I though it had more to do with the digestive system of a horse compared with a cow. Weed seeds pass through a horse's guy unscathed. Not true for cows. I will do some further research and get back. I don't like loose ends. Perhaps you could also check around?

    seeds Germinating Rocoto/Manzano seeds...Fail

    Okay.  Somehow, I got it in my head that they were difficult to germinate.  Apparently, not.  My seeds must not be viable since the others are germinating.  It's probably time to go through my entire seed stock and cull the older seeds.  What would you consider "old", i.e., needs to be thrown...

    Composted cow manure

    Horse manure=weedy.  Definitely, not cow manure.  I prefer fresh cow manure applied in the Fall, in preparation for the following Spring.  The  end result will be a ton of red wigglers in your garden.  The pH of animal manures is not something I've ever given 2 seconds of thought to.

    Don't let the alfalfa bother you.  Alfalfa meal is a fantastic soil amendment.

    Sugar Rush Round Orange?

    There you are!  Thanks for the link.  I will be planting these seeds tonight.  Did the seeds I sent you germinate?   I was looking at that forum homepage, and noticed some of the headers are in English, but when you open them, they are all in German.

    Sugar Rush Round Orange?

    I exchanged seeds with a gentleman from Germany, and these are some bonus seeds he sent my way.  I'm finding info on the "Peach" variety, which is not round, but nothing for this other baccatum.  I've lost my contact info with him, but maybe he'll see this post.  His notes indicate "mild/med...
