i hope this place survives! i admit i have abandoned it for a while, life got crazy. i will try to log in more often.

reddit sucks and dedicated forums are the best.
reddit always bans me as soon as i create an account because i hide my data from them. they don't like people being anonymous, they want to hoard our data and create a monopoly on internet forums. the censorship over there is ridiculous too, they have taken many groups down because they don't fit reddit's political agenda.

just a quick rant about reddit  but i really hope this place picks up again <3

I’m interested in finding unique and staple plants, flowers, foods, herbs etc. and am excited to share what I have too!

Thanks for having me!

welcome to STS, Damn I've been a member here for almost a decade as well,  wow how time flys. Those were the good old days, my mail box was busy and my garden flourishing with all kinds or fancy and unique plants. 

What was your partners user handle?

Welcome to STS, what kind of edible plants are you growing

Hey guys!

I got into plans just within the last couple years, but I have jumped headfirst.

I grow a whole lot, from exotic super-hot peppers to salvia d.. cactus and fungus.. monstera and orchids.  Safe to say if it is interesting, or difficult, it has probably caught my eye. 

I have done a bit of seed/live plant/cutting/swab/etc trading already, so definitely looking forward to the opportunity to share what I have hoarded!

Welcome to STS sounds like you have a nice collection of plants.  What kinds of super hot peppers are you growing?

Hi and welcome on board! Ypu'll notice it's a slow moving board since a while now. Brittany, thats in france right? Breiz? Bretagne? That one? It sure is mild there, especially at the seaside.

Welcome aboard!

Bananas will die if the freeze persist for too long but they can grow back from the roots if they don't freeze.

The ground doesn't freeze here but I imagine in places where it does there's likely a zone around bodies of water that takes longer to freeze.

Always wondered about the stability of microclimates. Like wether it isn't a huge gamble, lile bubble boy depending on the integrity of the bubble.
On a recent trip I chose to stick to rivers for a change in scenery which turbed out nice. I was also surprised by the number of really exotic plants some people figured out they could plant right at the riverbank, like banana and similar.
Wouldnt one single extreme event, inversion of conditions, storm or such have the potential to freeze your bananas in a single night?
