Hi,
   MO is the state of Missouri and I'm assuming that Ava is a city in
Missouri.


It wold be nice for us in other parts of the world to know what

You are right that MO is Missouri, USA. Calling Ava a city is being a
bit too polite though.  It's a town of about 3000 people in the south-
central part of the state.  That puts it in the Ozarks.

Since the main reason I posted was to let Peggy know she wasn't the
only one in the state interested, I was less polite than I usually am
in assuming anybody reading. would either know where I was talking
about, or wouldn't care.

I also noticed though that yahoo tried to be helpfull and clipped my
address out.  It should have ended with a hotmail dot com

I used to grow yacon on my allotment, which I gave up a few years ago.
I'm now turning more of the back garden over to food production and
would like to grow yacon again, but cannot find a source of the tubers
for growing. Anyone any ideas? Thanks, Hilary

I would contact Baa, --at Daves Garden  She had some growing in the UK a year or
two ago, --MichaelP

Hello!

I have some problem with dioscorea batatas. I got 15 pseudotubers, put them
in the damp soil  and that was well over a month ago. Still there is none
sprouted of all the fifteen plants. Does anyone has any clue about how
should i do it or what did i do wrong?
I had these in my balcony and the temperature lower temeprature was about
2-5 °C with an exception of -3°C one day. The daily temepratures were up to
18°C as this is very sunny, southern exposure.

I am from Slovenia (southern alps). Anyone has some suggestions?

Thank you and best regards,
Klemen

I don't know, but you can buy oca at the Real Seed Catalogue, if you're
interested in oca.  It's another Incan crop.

Hi Geir,
   It's Steve in Bermuda (not in the US anymore).

   The USA has 2-letter abbreviations for its states..
   MA = Masachusetts,
   MI = Michigan,
   MO = Missouri,
   OH = Ohio,
   etc, etc.

   You don't really get used to it until you use them on a regular basis.  It's
kind of like latin names for plants.

   Anyway, I hope all is well with your garden.. what stage are you at this year?

   Peace,

   Steve

Be patient with them they are slow to sprout when chilled, I have noticed that
mine do not sprout until the night time temp are over 50 deg , for a
month.--[they like sandy soil more than heavy clay] If you should have no

Hm, hope they wil sprout...
In this time i have them in pots, so i will move them into the house...
Michael, thank you for offer, but i hope i won't need it.

Does anyone grows this plant for food? How is it with the tubers? I have
read that they are quite large...
Any suggestions or experiences with these?
I have heard that they grow vertically into the ground (roots), so it is
hard to get them out...
Is there any possibility that at the beginning of the growth you put the
root into horizontal position so that it would start ot grow horizontally?
It works with Armoracia sp.

They are good to eat, more tender than the other Dioscorea varieties, but very
good, they do get big but it takes a few years to get over a pound. I have grown
them in plastic pots with holes in the sides, it kept the root from growing so
deep, --Michael porter

Hm, interesting..
I have read (PFAF) that after a first year they achieve half a kilo (which
is more than one pound) and at the end of a second year they can weight 2kgs
or more. The soil should be deep and probably well drained??

Doing small permaculture here in Slovenia, i am asking you if have any of
the following plants:

Cornus kousa v. chinensis - seeds
Crataegus arnoldiana - seeds
Amelanchier alnifolia *- seeds*
Morus nigra - seeds
Juglans ailanthifolia v. cordiformis *- nuts*
Juglans mandshurica - nuts
Chenopodium quinoa - seeds
Cicer Arietinum - seeds
Oxalis tuberosa - bulbs

If you have any of these plants, please reply - i will pay for postage and
packing costs and if you want even some extra funds, say it. Be reasonable,
though, i am a student :-)
Any advises regarding above plants are welcomed, also.

Looking forward for reply (-ies),

Klemen

I live in N.Florida, USA, --The D. batatas is growing now, [just started coming
up] it will grow until July and then make Tubercles and then the vine will die
back, [I think it may be too hot]  [but maybe that is just its cycle]  we get in
the summer over an inch /week of rain fall, usually, it is in the 90 deg f  temp
range for high day time temp from April to November, except that July and August
are in the 100s for high day time temps, Nighttime temps are in the 80s and 90s
usually, It is cloudy in the afternoon about 40% of the time for a few hours in
the summer, then it rains and gets real hot and humid again.   --
              The D.batatas , and D.japonicas, are the first to grow in the

Trying to find something native to grow, cultivate, harvest and use for

several years but can't seem to find it or any seeds to plant. Can
anyone help me find some seeds?

The link states that the seeds tastes like "butternut" -  (Juglans cinerea
?).

Anyone knows if this is a recognized edible seed,
and whether this also applies to other Impatiens  like I glandulifera, I.
parviflora, I . noli-tangere.

and the anti poison effect against Poison Ivy - does this also apply to
other stinging plants like nettles ??

Hi,

   Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) grows wild in Tennessee, probably in KY too..
   In fact, Jewelweed likes the same growing conditions as Poison Ivy, and your
solution is often growing right next to your very problem.  Cold water (not a
full shower - just wash the affected area) and a non-solvent, non oil based soap
may help.
   As far as a reliable company.. Horizon Herbs (Williams, Oregon) has it ..
they're a good medicinal seed supplier, in addition to other services and
information.  I've used them several times.

   In response to Geir's question about the anti poison ivy/oak effect.. In my
opinion, the formic acid in nettles would not be affected by Jewelweed extract -
the oil in Poison Ivy (and Poison oak and sumac) is known as Urushiol.

   I just got over a pretty decent patch of it myself.

   Peace,

   Steve

Hi there,
                We have some subsidized volunteer places for our Permaculture
design (May 1 - 10) and solar energy (May 18 - 23) courses. We are seeking
people interested in doing the courses that are willing to do 2 hours work each
day to help us out. Duties will include cooking and cleaning and work in the
garden. We also have one place on our Permaculture course for someone that could
lead a yoga class each day. All these roles would allow you to take all the
hours needed to complete the permaculture design course and be invloved with
nearly all the solar workshops as well. We are asking €250 for the Permaculture
course and €160 for the solar energy course.
   We look forward to hearing from you!

   Be Well
   Love
   The Dharmahouse folks

I ordered some jewelweed seeds last year but I can't remember where.  But I
see them at:
http://www.sandmountainherbs.com/jewelweed_orange_touchmenot.html
http://www.easywildflowers.com/quality/imp.cap.htm
http://www.prairiemoon.com/store/template/product_detail.php?IID=539&=90b109df78\

I think the seeds are very perishable so they should be planted immediately.
Mine all sprouted and made nice little plants in cell packs but they died
out in the summer after I planted them out.  I suspect the Florida summer
heat did them in.

That means you have eaten them ?
Just like they are ??
or any receipts  ?

I’ve eaten Impatiens glandulifera seeds a few times – a pleasant nutty
taste. I think I read about this in Cornucopia II and that the seed is even
harvested and used as a source of an edible oil. But, collecting the seed is
a bit of a challenge…….

   ********** Yes, I just cup my hand around the seedpod, catch the seeds and pop
them in my mouth.   I have never used them in a recipe.

Hey Dan.

   Your plants might have died for a few reasons besides the actual heat - after
all, it gets pretty hot in Tennessee as well...
   The first thing that came to my mind is that jewelweed (in my experience)
inhabits edges in forested areas, and a full-sun aspect would likely be too much
for them.  The same forested conditions in the wild would provide lots of mulch,
which would need to be supplied by the grower in the home garden.
   A distinct third possibility is that they didn't harden off enough from your
seed flats.  A fan blowing on the seedlings can help there.  Also going into a
larger pot before planting out (allows the roots to develop more) will give them
a better chance.

   Dan, if you're a master gardener and I've been stating the obvious, then
please just ignore me.

   Peace,

   Steve in Bermuda.
