Yep. TMK, they replaced a large order a few years ago. The bags are usually packed with 2X the stated quantity, very high germination rates, and the best prices. Seeds from USA / Domestic nurseries are over priced and the usual online markets are packed with people just reselling this nursery's stock at a mark up.
This nursery and a well known place in Germany are my go-to for seeds, no one else holds a candle to them.
Oh, my greenhouse plastic arrived today and hopefully I can get that finished tomorrow and start packing it with plants.  I put a few more boards on it to help support the plastic if I get freezing rain again. I need to build the barrel stove when I get the time / money so it has heating.

That vendor is a member of this forum.
He's a good guy for sure.
I'm repotting some larger specimens when I get motivated and feel like it.

Also, ive got 20 juuls giant torch x perianus *jessica* seeds along with about twenty loph seeds.. I'm debating popping them very soon.. Ive been told that regular seed starter soil is good to use but I always thought I should start with cactus soil right from the gate.?
Is this true?
And I will take pivs as soon as they germ!

I've been doing somewhere around 1/3 sand 1/3 soil 1/3 perlite. But then I adjust until it's the consistency I think is good. Maybe a little more on the sand and soil than the perlite.

Made my first ever areola graft today. Put my Peruvianus var mutucana to my PC patch, might as well put that mother plant to something useful. (I wrapped more plastic wrap for humidity after pics)
 
And over here unwrapped my PC pach stock with a non PC Shraxx.

I would lean to Pereskiopsis for tiny grafts but the bigger one is lit.
Almost got the whole thing done today and I probably could have finished it but I ran out of furring strips to anchor the plastic. I also need a few more boards for the roof because it pools water in places. There is also the matter of maybe being able to do one of the end walls with the scrap plastic and I need some more wood for that.

If I had some pereskiopsis I would. I need someone to send me a cutting some day. I use to have some a while ago but got lost.
Cool green house, you'll have lots of room in there. Got any fun projects planned for there.

One side will be dedicated to cactus seeds, the other side will likely have all my snake plants and other mundane plants, hanging baskets in the center. The center tables / floor will be retail space or stuff I send to local markets.

Month plus. I sewed some a few weeks back and am still having fresh Little seed poppers looking for the dirt.

If they fail to grow, just buy more seeds and change conditions.

I finished prepping about 35 cuttings I'm going to be selling on a popular auction site. Cut and left to rest for a few weeks. Just put them all in a little soil so maybe they will sprout roots by the time I feel safe to mail them without having to worry bout super frigid temps in transit. I got some good named cutting to sell, so I don't want to have to deal with any freezing issues on expensive cuttings.
Covid has made it so I haven't worked in a few months. Need some cash, but guess I'll live on the ol credit card for a bit longer.
