My mom got a Chabacano nectarine tree, today. I don't know anything much about the breed. So, one moment while I search.
Welp, I found nothing, except that Chabacano is a Spanish word for apricot, and for some other stuff. It's not an apricot tree; so, I'm hoping it's not a Spanish word for n...read more

This thread is just a general grow log for me to keep track of information that doesn't seem best-suited to a more specific forum.
I'm planning to start seeds next week. I have my containers ready (I found some that seem good online; they arrived, today). Yesterday, I got a supply of worm cas...read more

Here's an article about a family who runs a donkey dairy. It talks about how the family believes it cures and/or treats PANDAS:

My guess is that the milk is raw, and that it contains live cells from the donkey, which help to train the immune system...read more

Adding lemon oil to dish soap makes it so much better, in my opinion—and it makes the soap stay smelling fresher longer. It helps the dishes get squeaky clean, and smell/feel good.
IMO (or according to my nose), dish soap goes bad when exposed to certain things long enough (probably mold, yea...read more

I got this book for a college class. It talks about flying foxes a lot. So, if you're into flying foxes, I would recommend it. It's a personal narrative (which in this case is a lot like a novel, but true). I don't have the book anymore, but I enjoyed it.
It's about a scientist whose mother h...read more

These were all grown from seed. A number of the plants were at least semi-stunted this year (and produced under-sized fruit). This was my first year growing many tomatoes from seed. None were purchased as plants. I started them extremely early indoors under fluorescent lights (incandescent for Y...read more
