I finally got motivated to start all of my fall veggies...again. I probably sewed 10,000 seeds since the last day in July & I had every single one of them die on me about 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness for cool weather! I just got back from a trip to the Texas Hill Country! While I was there I received a large load of Horse Crippler Cactus (Echinocactus texensis). I will be bringing five specimens to market on Thursday. Four are in one gallon pots & one is in a five inch. These are some superb looking cacti. They are very hardy & easy bloomers in spring. They also grow exponentially faster with Louisiana's rain fall than central Texas'. Next Spring I hope to bring some of the larger specimens. When I say large I mean LARGE! Some of these plants are having trouble fitting in a five gallon pot!
In other news...Last week at the market I brought a small collection of seeds for sale. They are all seeds I harvested from plants I grew then packaged them myself. They have been stored properly for the last year & germination rates should be high. This Thursday I plan on bringing seeds to California poppies, Liatris, Texas Bluebonnet, Love in a mist and Red buckeye. The buckeye seeds were collected in the last few days. They are ready to be sewn immediately! Hope to see you at market.
