Maybe, but I'm just out of the hospital, and am not doing as well as I would like. Maybe this next spring. That would give me time for SEVERAL crops of greens. Hmmm ... would it be good for yellow squash, do you think?

...the following list will be representative enough give you some ideas regarding what to do in fall and winter: No water at all ...Pilosocereus azureus ... WHERE WERE YOU LAST WINTER????? One of my OLDEST, and, because of it's color, it's spination and it's height, it was one of my FAVORITE cacti....

THANKS Dave That first one was SO full of stuff that I was unfamiliar with, that it was like trying to read a foreign language ... backwards ... blind in ONE eye ... But the second led me to a place that leads me to believe that caudiciforms will benefit from SOME KIND of application of high nitroge...

... For the Orchid Pro, we already know that the percentages of N and P are good, so we'll need to bring the K up to 10.5. For the Potassium sulfate, we'll go with 0-0-50. If you supplement 1/2 teaspoon of the Orchid Pro with 1/8 tsp. Potassium sulfate, the total percentage of K will be 11.2 -- a m...

Thanks Steve ... as usual, i get the Real Deal from you ...

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti You know, you were one of the real significant influences on me, in my starting to collect/grow cacti. I saw your presentation on TV. It was brilliant ... just stinkin' BRILLIANT ... how could I NOT start growing cacti after having seen tha...

I bought some Discorea sylvatica x elephantipes , planted them and 70 days after I put the seeds in the ground, the seller of the seeds tells me that he has plants that are five years old that do not have as much growth that mine do at less than two months. Wow! So I'm reading about how to take care...

South mexican species, probably reaction to winter low temps. Next winter to the higher shelf. this spring it started to get warmer. I opened the greenhouse door for the day and forgot to close the door. the temps went down to freezing and I didn't catch it. this happened TWICE! so i guess (like i ...

I maybe wrong, but your plant looks like Ferocactus emoryi. i've got a F. emoryi AND a F. flavovirens. The F. emoryi has longer redder spines (at least they do when they get a little older). You can SEE what this one looks like... shorter, whiter spines. I have NO idea how variable this genus is, s...
