    I just wanted to add something about worm castings[ I grow my own]. I do a lot of cuttings overwinter inside for economical reasons. But always in the past at a certain point the cuttings would droop and I would add water of fert. or both and they perk back up. But since I started adding worm casting to the potting mix the cuttings never droop all winter. Also the ratio of castings to the mix only need be in the 15-20% range and every time you water they release to the plant some of the goodness they possess. You could add much more to the mix but that would be a waste of the "black gold". I also add about 4-5 cups of the WC to my roses in the spring and water in well and they soon perk up . One other thing I find with castings is it does not have an overnight effect, but 3-4 weeks later you will notice a difference.?

    hi Ray, I recognized the seller Robert from the label on your mangled seed package. All I can say is he has not improved any in several years. He advertises to have many exotic seeds, however out of the four or five different seeds I ordered I had a 0% germination and a serious waste of time and money?

    Ray, I would Luv 2 have Ur address so I can send U some seeds. I would Luv 2 see U grow Cherimoya tree & a persimmons tree. Not sure that they will grow there, but I see Ur like myself & Luv a great challenge. I am currently growing so Cherimoya trees & have a couple of Persimmons seeds. The persimmons seeds R very hard 2 come by due 2 the fact that there R no seeds in the commercially grown plants hardly anymore. If U ever come by lime seeds, could

    I agree, a barn red room would be overpowering and make the room feel small.

    The eBay guy should do a lot better. I always make sure to over pack anything shipped on eBay so that the buyer gets what they bought, the way I listed it. "Robert" was pretty easy to track down, there's only a few people selling Dwarf Papaya seeds.?

    Ray, do you still have your Spanish lime plant? Can you please describe the power output (wattage) of your lighting setup, in terms of the wattage rating of each individual CFL light and the total wattage of all your lights combined? Do you see any 'legginess' in your plants? If you are able to successfully fruit a pineapple indoors with those lights, then I am sure that your lighting set up is perfectly adequate. You may find, though, that the addition of a few red spectrum CFL lights will help with flowering and successful fruit set of your fruit-bearing plants, such as your cacoa, robusta coffee, miracle fruit and Buddha hand citron. Have you considered buying some grafted dwarf citrus plants? Grafted citrus mean less wait before you get fruit compared to seed-grown citrus. If you like aromatic plants, try growing lemon eucalyptus, patchouli, bergamot orange (the citrus kind of bergamot), lemon grass, Ceylon cinnamon, clary sage, kaffir lime and tea tree (melaleuca alternifolia). They smell great, especially the lemon eucalyptus. Scratch 'n' sniff!?
