i need help.I lived in bangladesh.January is the coolest month with temperatures averaging near 26 deg C (78 d F) and April the warmest with temperatures from 33 to 36 deg C (91 to 96 deg F). but most of the year is really hot specifically city roof garden. So i wants to know which US zone i should select for plant selection? after install light meter aap can you tell me what minimum lux need for seedlings /soft wood cutting /hard wood cutting? Thanks for videos.
Great video, Just one question. I have a very small planting area and i can never use all the seeds in a packet. What is the best way to store the seeds that are left over?.

Thank you for this. Amazing effort.
Thank you so much for this information!!
Only my pleasure.
Great talk. Thank you
Only a pleasure
My white carrots are flowering. Last year I had a orange one that had flowers and seeds
Excellent, just make sure you have enough plants flowering to give you good genetic diversity.

In a cool dry place, like a cupboard or drawer that is not exposed to sunlight / big temp fluctuations.
They are in the same family
