Lol. I think that’s a fly. I have zero ant. Started transferring them to 4” pots tonight.

Nice , they are off and running........

I've been looking for some. Should be about time.

brought baby lime tree in last night.
The big one is growing like a weed. hopefully I'll get limes from it this year.

I like it .................Dont forget to fertilize

Ohhhhh Christmas Tree Oh

Looks like Charlie Brown's doesn't it?

Nice! I bought a lemon tree last year. I really like it. Got 7 lemons off of it last year. Going to buy a lime this year. Did you start that from a cutting?

No sir, I started this one from a seed.

It is very doable , BUT, I remember reading something about limes not growing into the lime you ate. Meaning the lime plant you got from seed will give you limes but it will be a little different than the lime you took it from . Maybe more seeds , maybe not full color. I believe thats why most plants that are sold at the store are grafted. Just found this.

interesting. Good to know, Thanks!

Plants for my little garden are doing really well. Almost too well for this early.

Just for fun I plant a couple of these every year to climb on my workshop. Extra points to anyone who guesses what they are. Hint. Part of the name is a namesake for an animal hunted in Florida.

Loofah?

supposed to be as easy as growing cucumber

When do you plant out Sniper? Your seedlings look nice and look like they have a couple weeks on mine. This year I am trying to start a little later indoors. They will go out at the same time they always do. Last year I ended fighting for space and they were getting huge before outdoors was ready. Just seeing what others are doing since I am switching things up. I started my peppers mid to late jan.

Edit : your lighting system is definitely working for you. I have recently found a shop light (LED) from walmart that is worth its price , I believe it was 20 dollars and is a four foot fixture. It burns with less electricity , less heat and looks to do better than some of my more expensive florescent with specific grow bulbs. For the price and for what we are doing (seedlings) it fits the bill for me. If your growing more than seedlings/starters is when you need more of a light spectrum. I have one fixture and its about 3 feet away from my aloe and its pushing the edge of light burn. Anyways just a idea, I think its a bargain and just passing along.

Nope. Python Snake Bean
Real poor germination rate. I crack the seeds with pliers and soak them 24 hours. Then it takes about 3 weeks to germinate. I was able to get a one to three ratio to germinate this year. Best I have ever got out of them. I think the flowers smell like peanut butter and the fruit really does look like big snakes. They are edible, but I have never tried it.

I have a 35wattt fluorescent grow bulb in the main one with a timer keeping it on 15 hours a day. The he other has an LED grow bulb and I move it back and forth half the time on some alpine strawberry seedlings not pictured. Both bulbs are amazon specials. As for when I plant. No idea. I have not looked at the last freeze date, but this year I was hoping to cheat it some with the tomatoes if the weather is nice. I have double the plants I need so I can replace any that get hit by a late freeze or that squirrels dig up. Dang critters like to dig up everything right after I plant.

Any does or don’ts on planting black berrys and raspberries?

Shouldn't have any issues with Blackberries. Most varieties can hand soil Ph's in the low 7's. I grew Apache a couple years ago in a pot. It did really well and even though they are cold hardy the 2021 freeze took it out. I'll probably get another one or two this year. If you're going to plant them in ground I would probably dig the soil out a couple feet in each direction and amend the soil pretty well and get rid of some of the clay in the soil.

Raspberries will be difficult. They are acid soil loving plants. Like mid/upper 5 to low 6 ph max. You could try growing them in a large pot. There are special acidic soil mixes you can buy. But your tap water is going to be around a 7ph, so when you water it will start to counter act the acidic soil mix and raise the Ph. So when you water you need to add a little citric acid powder to your container to make an acidic water solution. I have a Ph meter and can run some test on a 5gal water solution. It won't be much. Probably a tablespoon of citric to 5gal of water would probably drop the solution to under 5 easily.

Thank you I bought kiowa and apache

Where did you buy them from? My boys love them, I'd like to see if I can grow a few.

156 started the other day. Will do 50 or so more. These cells are pretty dang small so I'm hoping for an early spring.

I started sorting out my best ones for my little tomato/pepper garden and moving them up another pot size. I would not be surprised if my tomatoes have the the first blooms already by the time I plant them. I noticed at least one of my spare peppers is starting to flower.

. Looking great.
