what should i grow?
« on: April 04, 2018, 12:05:43 AM »
HI guys, so im already starting a few diff strains of Trich as well as some Williamsi (soon). Im building a greenhouse so climate really wont be an issue. I want to grow something thats not too difficult. I heard Acacia Acuminata was good for this. What are yalls thoughts? Also cacti and acacia/mimosa as well as some caap vine is gonna be my vein in gardening. Any other plants in this genre yall could recommend? Thanks in advance!

  First things first,  What climate are you in ? ?

 Greenhouses are great, but can be a pain to maintain,   Climate appropriate perennials should be your bread and butter for basic simplicity, its also alot eazyer to bear the loss of a 3.95$ seed grown plant than some fancy tropical  .

 Im just south of you in usda7,

  The zone separations are not the most accurate as every year is different espically if you live near large water body's

I have a small greenhouse myself,  but Im not ever going to attempt to heat it,   To expensive hear in S NY, and one mistake and everything is dead anyway.  I just use it as a season extender.

Valeriana officinalis,  SkullCap, Heimia salicifolia, Henbane, Tobacco's, Rhodiola rosea,  Rhaponticum carthamoides, Sida cordifolia,  Silene capensis,  Withania somnifera, many poppys

I'm starting a variety of seeds in 7a  (ny) in the next few weeks:  lespedeza bicolor, acacia confusa, desmodium gyrans, brugmansa, henbane, sweet grass,  moringa and also some special trees (woodapple, peepul, neem), some loph & cereus plus some gigantic chili species from china. Wish me luck!
