I'm just curious as to what people have decided to do. I'm taking a break from cacti collecting until early fall. I have some catching up to do since I lost a LOT of plants during the ice storm. Anyway,in no particular order:
1. Khat (my seeds are throwing out roots  )
2. Kratom
3. Salvia
4. Mimosa hostilis, pudica, and verrucosa
5. Brugmansia
6. Caapi
7. Sida
8. Morning Glories
9. Nicotina Rustica
10. Papaver Somniferum
11. Datura
12. HBWR
13. Calamus
14. Silene Capensis
15. A colubrina
16. P viridis
17. Coleus blumei
18. Acacia maidenii
19. Mandrake (if anyone knows where I can find live specimens PM me plz!)
20. Cannabis- C'mon you guys know I gotta grow some buds
Thats what I WILL have before summers end. So what ethnos are you growing? Save the tomatoes and peppers for another thread please. Pics of what you have already got would be nice. I need some wank material anyhow.

1) make 2 massive passionflower planters are this week's affair. (I'm thinking about lopping the bottom out of a garbage can and digging it into the ground)
2) Rip the previous owner's grape vine off the trellis and turn it from a 12 foot mess into something that actually produces food.
3) Peach and lime trees are in shambles. Take up prayer and ask god for a favor.. and satan too if hes got a better deal.
4) Propogate the mulberry tree.
5) Find a mama trich for my pedros... I'm thinking a Torres and Torres and a scop will do nicely for awhile.

I thought about doing more passion flowers. I only got 1 flower on a big ass vine last year. That kinda turned me off. Sounds good Harvey.

I got it as a cutting. It vegged lovely. I gave it Fox Farm Tiger Bloom along with a 10-10-10. I kept the pH around 7. I don't get it  .
But hey, I tend to be able to grow everything else fine

I decided several months ago to make the switch over to organic soil and cultivation. It's been a lot of work mixing soil and repotting plants but it has also been the most enjoyable time growing these plants thus far! I love spring!
I've been planting a number of plants in the ground (I mostly grow in containers) and excited to see how that turns out. Right now I've got in the ground:
1 T. pachanoi
2 avocadoes
a papaya
a peach tree
L. nepetifolia
maca
yacon
sweet potatoes, corn, beans, strawberries etc.
1 Acacia maidenii
3 different kinds of bananas
2 South African N. tabacum
grapes
Passiflora incarnata
sugarcane
Rivea - these are beginning to start beasting
3 HBWR vines (real excited about these!)
Pomegranate and cassava are probably next to go in ground, an Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, hopefully a caapi vine or three, maybe a cherimoya although I'll have to protect it in winter.
Other than that guess this season I'll try and fill in some of the gaps with plants I'm missing. I've found some pots in the 15-30 gallon range and it has been fun getting some off the plants some root room to work with. Once the plants take to the repotting watch out. Methinks there'll be some pics soon.

Me too, my baby pedro looks like it got a bit of sun damage this morning, which is sad. And my Astro seeds haven't sprouted yet. Cacti + Morning glory and tobacco is this seasons must have though.

This is what I'm thinking too. I figured mine was done for, so I planted a Wisteria in its place.
I've started becoming a big fan of caapi myself. I should have a couple of cuttings here this week. Yeah HBWR is neat. I am trying to secure some, but prices are too high still IMO.

To continue Papaver Somniferum attempt and to take a whack at growing Papaver Orientals outside since the current season is more suited for them.

1. About 4-5 square meters of papaver somniferum.
2. I'll bring my Datura Innoxia out to soak in the sun.
3. Guerilla grow some MJ.
4. Maybe order some Peruvian Torch cuttings.
5. Start outdoor patch of either Cubensis or Azurescens.
The rest I dunno but I plan on going apeshit this year!

I'm also taking a temporary break from buying more cacti, and focusing my efforts on grafting and making a new succulent bed outdoors.
I'm also going to catch up on my Salvias, as all of mine were destroyed by heavy winds.
I have 35 N. Rustica plants that will soon be ready for harvest ( I know, from seed to flower in 90 days) so I have my work cut out for me curing.
I'm also going to spend more time in my veggie garden, as I have mostly stopped working and have been becoming more and more self sufficient by growing all of my own foods.

16 days according to my grow log, none of them have sprouted, not even the others you sent; I'm not blaming you though, don't take it as an insult or anything, something could have happened in transit or something.

My good camera is dead, I posted pics of it before it is my standard for all seeds.
1/2 in of sand on top of cacti soil mix that has been treated with neem oil for fungus and insects, a layer of rocks at the base for drainage. It's all inside of a plastic tray, the kind you get at walmart for chicken, or food places, with holes in the base, the lid has a few holes to allow air flow and keep humidity relatively high.
The Hylocereus, Trichocereus, etc seeds I had sprouted using that setup, just none of yours. Like I said I don't blame you, there could have been something that happened in transit, so I'll give it some more time, seeds can be finicky sometimes.

Okay, try using a top without holes, and only like >1/8 in sand on top of the cactus soil, soak the crap out of the medium then let it drain a bit, sow them on top, sprinkle a pinch of sand around them, and don't even bother with the neem oil
Also, blast them with light on a normal day/night schedule
See how that works

I used 100% vermiculite on 5 small pots and Miracle Grow cacti soil on 4 others. The 1 other seed was crushed during shipping. I have 5 that are trying to pop their leaves out of the seed coating right now. Once they get a bit bigger I should be able to get some decent pics with my shitty cam. I've got my fingers crossed for the rest. I'm about to buy 30 more seeds.
Anyway, its been about 10 days or so since I sowed them. So far I'm pleased. No fungi problems. I just hit them with some Garden Safe 3 n 1 fungicide during sowing and about every 5 days since.

Yeah I had the setup without holes for a few days, I use that and then slowly lower the RH, I picked up one of the seeds and it felt very malleable which I didn't think was normal. I'll give it some time, I really just want some Astrophytum seedlings for grafting.
I suggest more cacti, or picking up Marajuanilla, that stuff is easy to sell as a smoking mix.

I'd offer to send you some seeds but I sent about 500 to ngnyus before he died and I wont have more until they finish flowering. The flowers are open on them now so we'll see, I'll shoot you a PM after I get to collect seeds if you are interested/don't find some by then.

Well I let a lot of things die out that I had growing last year. I put a brugmansia outside to see if it'd survive the winter (nope), stopped watering my calea (oops), trashed my big sally (can't remember why), and some of my cacti froze while sitting dormant in the garage, including a nice Ariocarpus retusus, Hylocereus undatus, Selenicereus grandiflorus, and 3 very nice Astrophytum myriostigmas.
I've been thinking about getting new cuttings of calea, salvia, and brugmansia. I've noticed there's no salvia plants on ebay anymore, which makes me want one even more. Calea and brugmansia were just really fun to grow. I trashed a couple Psychotria viridis last fall and now I'm down to one that I've grown out from a leaf cutting, which is looking pretty healthy (~1ft tall, 3 shoots). Thinking about making a LOT more leaf cuttings this year from that one plant.
I want to work on growing some nice thick pereskiopsis to do some grafts. Maybe cut some heads off of my caespitosa for that.
I planted the "three amigos garden pack" from fungi perfecti which includes Stropharia rugoso-annulata, Hypsizygus ulmarius, and Coprinus comatus. Hopefully at least some of these come up in my garden this year. I've been working on planting the annuals in the garden and maintaining/planting new perennials. So far there's a lot of berries in the garden - marionberry, a couple types of blueberry, evergreen huckleberry, blue elderberry, and red-flowering currant (tho that's not really for its berries).
I've also been working on organic lawn care management. I really hate grass lawns but I rent and there's a decent sized lawn so I figured I should learn something from it. We've got grapes, plums, apples, and cherries on the property as well and I want to make a better effort to take care of them during the dry summer and to dry all the fruit that I can to preserve it. It's free food after all.
+ I just got a new air-coolable reflector, variac for the exhaust, and a grow tent, so yanno what that means.

I wasn't really setting up a trade but more so providing info, you're the boss though doc.
I'm also starting some Phlaris grass, it will be a good year if I can get some Astro seedlings for grafts, they have become an obsession.

OH man i wish my meow's would come up. Its been 2 weeks. Planted like 60 of those suckers. Some slightly under soil, Some on top of the soil. Have had a humidity dome on and let them stay moist and also after a week i heard that you should let the flat dry out slightly then spray again. I guess i will give it another week then maybe get some different seeds to work with. These came in the pod. But they could have been old i guess if you are getting that many to germinate that quick.
could you PM me the vendor which you got them ??
Thanks.
