Yeah, shipping is gonna hurt a little on these. 1g bags, well rooted, I had to cut them down once already because they hit the ceiling. $15 plus the ride. They're heavy.

I'm keeping the big pot.

Lots of other stuff sprouting. Cannas for days. Colocasia and Caladium bulbs everywhere. Philodendrons out my 2 hole. And I've got tons of tiny Sabal seedlings, just trying to bulk them up. Serenoa Repens. More philodendrons.

Aw man I wish I would have known about the caladiums a month ago! Are they bare or also in soil?

Oakley, California

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Barely started. I just ordered more. I'm growing Blaze and Candidum right now and I just ordered some uhh...John Curran and Spicy Lizard. Next year I'll have my timing down. Starting in December is too early and starting in March is kinda late.

Hi John -

I'll send you a PM.

I think these are gonna be gone by the weekend. 

 

I made a post on the local chamber of commerce Facebook page asking about dates for the farmers markets. People asked me what I had. Well there ain't no point in me going now cuz everybody's coming out here. As Martha Stewart used to say, "It's a good thing." 

 

@N8ALLRIGHT I might have to break down and buy some more of these colocasia bulbs in the fall.

I got you Johnny, I've got plenty

Just remind my dumb ass not to sprout them in December again. Aside from them getting massive, spider mites love them.
