Got the itch this evening and signed up - some people might remember the name/avatar from elsewhere.
Just wanted to touch base with others (it's spring) and I'm looking around.
Things have changed quite a bit (I think I'll lurk for awhile)
Also that the verification system is the most difficult I've ever had to deal with.
I suppose there's good reasons for that.
One thing I can readily offer is my green thumb and will share some of that expertise with others here.
I'll be trying my hand at some
Celastrus Paniculatus seeds this next week and see if the germination is good or not.
My understanding is that most of the seed has been steamed prior to export to remove the oils ( to sell), obviously killing the germ and inhibiting foreign farms from springing up.
I did have a few growing a long time ago, I'll see if the same germination technique will work again.
I'm rebuilding some of my garden with a rebirth in my personal life.
Currently looking for a SD Luna clone (nevermind I'll be buying one this week) as that was a casualty of an especially dry summer a few years ago (it also got devoured by a pet that didn't help matters)
Added:
I see some sharing and germination of some species here that I've lost years ago.
Looks like I came to the right place.
now... to work up my rep again so that I can start trading.
