Would any of you folks know of a supplier of the above seeds? We wish to grow some of the older cereals on a small-scale (1 or 2 acres) for hand harvest and do...
There is apparently a great deal of variation in the species. I've bought the seeds before and got something sort of okra-like with small hairy leaves that...
Thanks a lot for that Dan ... That's exactly what I've got! Pretty extreme for a variation! And it was cold here too but those plants were clearly on the way...
I would love to get a tuber of Bac Ha. I've been looking for it for a while. So a srping trade looks like a winner! I also have some dead Chaya (which I...
I am looking forward to havesting the pods as well as some of the flowers of my tilia americana, but I can not figure out how this might be done. These treee...
The climate is changing (for whatever reason). Right now, I'm going broke buying different varieties of seed, trying to find out what will grow best in my...
What kinds of nuts, fruits, vegetables, and herbs, will grow under or near black walnut trees? We have alot of these on our land and don't want to cut them...

Seems like yu have to cut it down.... Here the Linden trees (Tilia cordata) is growing much like you describe, but by steep hillsides there is possible to...

Heres a great link to get you started. Its has a list of naturally occuring companions as well as other 'useful' plants that are juglone tolerant. Here you go:...
