Good day today, only 23 of 72 have not sprouted. If I can get just one of the Blondies to sprout, I can rest easy, and count the sprouting part of this project a success. Guess who woke from his slumber? My one Monster Infinity! Thanks Shane for the seed; he's ALIVE!!! :cheers: Also, big...

I have a root pouch related question. I've been thinking of using root pouches to overwinter my plants at the end of the year. I will overwinter as many as 20 plants, and my space is very limited. What does everyone think of cutting back the root ball of 10 month old plants (some grown in the...

I'm also new at starting peppers from seed, and am using small Jiffy pellets. I'm transplanting fairly early because my pellets tend to dry out and there will be weekends when I will have to leave them unattended. I'm taking the 'wrappers' off before I transplant as well. I think you can keep...

I have thown 100s of pounds of grounds collected from my local Starbucks into my compost pile and directly into my soil. Mixed with shredded newspaper, it can really get a compost pile cooking. Once I found out used grounds are generally ph neutral, I just started going nuts with the stuff...
