I have to pick up some seed starters this weekend, I think I finally figured out the layout for my garden.
I got dumped on with 14 inches of snow yesterday so it'll be a little while before I make any real progress on it.

dam 14 inches od snow, thats crazy. im glad im not some where that it snows this time of year.
the best seed starters i have used is just a 72 cell tray and just black golds seed.cut mix with a few handfulls of mushroom compost and they seem to love it and pop up fast.

Cool, that's what I'll probably pick up then. And yeah it was a really weird storm, lightning and thunder mixed with snow. Really unseasonal too.

the whole line of black gold soils, and composts are great and cheap.
and the storm kinda sounds cool, i really like ot be in storms for some reason, probably cuz we dont have them much here

ThunderSnows,.... One of my favorite oddity's about Colorado!!!!
And Gropple, (little snow balls falling like rain) I've seen Gropple balls almost 1/2" in diameter!
We are privileged enough to live in one of the few spots that has EVERY kind of precipitation. Verga, rain, sleet, hail, gropple, and snow.

well i took 3 cuts off a rose bush at a friends house.
i soaked them all in hormex for 1 minute and then put 1 in the bubble cloner,1 in the jiffy/AN cube and one in the black gold seed/cut mix.
2 of them are already wilted to shit and one is looking really perky still, the one doing the best is in the seed/cut mix i use i am using these to see what roots them the best and i will use that tech every time after, i still want to mess with the bubble cloner though, i am not checking its ph at all or anything like that just putting the cuts in it to see what happins. im sure if i dialed in teh cloner it would work better. the pine apple has 2 half inch roots or what appears to be roots but the plant its self is in pretty bad shape but the guide said this would happin

I think ants hate cinnamon... put it in a spray and apply where needed...
EDIT: looks like you just pour the powder where they are colonizing... Safe for pets and people and all that

i did the Cinnamon last time i grew in the closet it helps a bit but didnt keep them away, i think they like it cus it is warm in theri i got some terro ant killer gel it is borax and sugar and the ants eat it and take the poison back to the colony and die and then others eat the dead and get poisoned as well, they are diminishing but they are just annoying to have crawling on you when you check the plants.I think ants hate cinnamon... put it in a spray and apply where needed...

i look all over my house and followed theri trail about 2 blocks down the road in the grass of an old folks home. so i could t really do any thing about them last year, i couldn't believe they travels that far just to get to my house, this was last year as well so they could have moved if they do move colonies

well this year i am going to either buy 1800 ladybugs for the garden or a mantis egg sack that has 300-400 babies in it. i dont think i can get both cuz the lady said the mantis will eat the lady bugs but only when they are in a certain stage of life and she didn't know what stage. i really want both so i need to find out what stage the mantis's eat the lady bugs. if i cant have both i think i will get the mantis only cuz they can eat more and i have never had them in the garden yet
