Shoot; I'd have given you whole trees growing out of the yard this spring. They smell good but will take over! LOL "One moment, please." Quote | Post #75999 (3)

Awesome! I want some black currents! I need to plant so many seeds it is crazy. Anyone else up for the challenge? Mitch is already way ahead so far. A "One moment, please." Quote | Post #78037 (6)

I'm in the Caribbean, it's never cold here. Cold is deadly to me. I have to live with coconut trees. Why "challenge"? To me, that's like orders or war or jail or mean people yelling. I am weird. Melissa Quote | Post #78935 (9)

How wonderful! Warm all the time. Challenge... selected info from dictionary.com. the top 2 meanings under noun and the first meaning under verb: NOUN: 1.a call or summons to engage in any contest, as of skill, strength, etc. 2.something that by its nature or character serves as a call to battle, contest, special effort, etc.: Space exploration offers a challenge to humankind. VERB 11.to summon to a contest of skill, strength, etc. I guess that is why. "One moment, please." Quote | Post #79048 (10)

Currents - would it not be simple to do those in cuttings this summer? Do you know a plant??? I have about 100 cuttings going here right now - love growing things from a little branch. Mitch Fitzgerald Quote | Post #79522 (11)

I haven't had a lot of success w/ cuttings. I, um, forget them. LOL "One moment, please." Quote | Post #80879 (12)

MitchF Feb 26, 2010 9:37 PM CST Name: Mitch Fitzgerald Oklahoma

lol... cuttings are my strength Aunt - this summer we will have to meet half way or something and get cuttings and I will get them going for you ready for Spring planting next year. Mitch Fitzgerald Quote | Post #81268 (13)

I didn't do my own challenge. I had good intentions...so, this one will wait on me just a couple days. I MUST winter sow SOMETHING...or I told my DH he could throw away the containers that I was saving for winter sowing. Yikes! "One moment, please." Quote | Post #86740 (16)

I had a few bottles in the house I needed to put out. Took them out today and to my suprise, 3 of them had sprouted already. I didn't think it was a good idea to put those 3 out so I put them in the cellar under the light with the broccoli. I am excited about this project. I hope my G2 bottles are not too small.
