    I wonder how they have progressed? Mine are just sprouting, but I've been soaking and using potting mix. Haven't had a great germination rate so I'm doing a new batch with some gibberellic acid in the soak to see if that improves the germination rate

    • @awakenacres
      @awakenacres 3 месяца назад

      The ones I got to germinate grew 1-2 feet high. Some of them got nibbled down by rodents. The survivors look good, so I’m happy with that.

    Deer pressure seems to keep increasing year-on-year at my garden. I'm on the edge of town where people aren't allowed to hunt, I can't exclude them from the perimeter with fencing, so I have to fence things individually now, it's really annoying. Overpopulated deer are a menace (same as humans!).

    I was pleased to find your video, as I am looking to get more info on growing Toona Sinensis from seed. As it is now 5 months since you posted your video, I was wondering how you were getting on ? Although I have not tried growing them yet, I have tasted the leaves from a specimen tree over here in the UK and found them to be delicious - although some folk find them a bit too strong in flavour if eaten raw. Nevertheless there is a lot of evidence that they are a) highly nutritious and b) good for your health in a number of ways - which is why they have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries. Anyway, good luck with 🌿growing them & ATB from across the pond (🇬🇧)

    If you don't want to boil and wait, put seed pods somewhere dry in the cold of winter, then cut the tiniest bottom of the seed off and soak. I did that this year and thought i ruined the seed after it swelled in 12hrs, the seed shot a root within the next 24hrs. Zone 6 high desert, your results may vary

  • @awakenacres

    I got 3 seeds to germinate with this method. I had better luck in the spring soaking them and putting them in potting mix in a moist seed tray. About 50% germination. Most grew successfully over the summer/fall in pots. I am overwintering them outside this year and will update in the spring. Hopefully they survive!🌿

    Your plants look great. I suddenly started having chipmunk problems this year which has severely disrupted my nursery area, normally I'd grown hundreds of nut trees per year in air-prune beds, but those damn things have gotten into them and dug up almost everything I've planted, including some rather precious seeds of American chestnut, seeds from my best timber-type chestnut tree, and others. Sprinkling cayenne pepper all over had no effect, so I'm going to have to do more in the way of physical exclusion (they are small enough to go through chicken wire, which was the first thing I tried when I wasn't sure what was getting in there, at first I thought maybe crows). The joys of trying to grow things! Extremely hot and dry here, too-hope we all get some much needed rain soon.

    My Grandparents had over 60 chickens at any one time for years, never had an opossum take a laying hen. Use to find them in the laying boxes, sometimes they would take an egg thought, we just left them alone. Grandpa said they are good to have around, as they keep the rats in check.
