I've decided to pre-start various kinds of seeds, including some that I haven't had success starting in containers and/or direct-seeded.
I've germination-tested Galapagos Island tomato seeds this way before (in the winter or so), but this is my first time doing it to plant them afterward. I'v...read more

I've found that blending up sunroots with tomato sauces and/or soups makes them pretty tasty! Additionally, it helps to thicken them and add nutrients.
You can make an excellent ketchup and cocktail sauce substitute by doing this:
• Blend up a jar of home-canned stewed tomatoes (skins, see...read more

Basically, they say about what I'd expect, wit...read more

Wikipedia says the ketogenic diet can help reduce seizures in some children with epillepsy, but it says the benefits don't always go away after discontinuing the diet (I'm paraphrasing). I hadn't heard that before:

This thread on Gardenweb began the discussion, 'What are you favorite black tomatoes?'
https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2192757/what-are-your-favorite-black-tomatoes
Rather than resurrect the thread there, I figured I'd start a new one, and I might as well do it here, instead.

The variegated grape leaf hoppers came out really early, this year, but not on the grapes (which still had a while before they grew any leaves at the time: they're starting to grow leaves now, however). They're on most of the species of plants! They only ever seemed to feast on grape leaves in p...read more

Remember those wonderberries that I scattered over several planting spits last year so that they would reseed? Well, they're doing it!

Stendesto is a cross between a Stanley plum (a European plum—not the usual Japanese plum species used in these interspecific crosses) and a Modesto apricot. It has the same number of chromosomes as an apricot.

This one looks promising, as it's supposed to be very sweet, and have fruit as large as regular cherries. It's also very cold-hardy (to zone 3), and it's self-fertile. Said to produce 10-15lbs of fruit. It says it's Prunus fruticosa x Pru...read more
