Hi jq_sen, Can I please have some oregano, if you have any left? Do you have any basil or sage?
Thanks!

@LinneaL Sorry. Turn out I don't have Sun Sugar. Would you like Super Sweet 100 instead?
@offbyastream Would you like zucchini?

To Everyone, if you have empty 4 gallon water bottles like this, could you please bring them for me? They are perfect for starting seeds. Thank you.

Is anyone interested in a wild rose bush? It has small, white, highly scented flowers.

I don't need them... But interested in finding out.

@jq_sen, They clean the algae from the glass and inside the tank. So you don't need to scrub the glass which is a lot of work. They eat leftover food and dead animals in tank and are kind of cleaning crew.

They are cute too. I bought 3 snails and now I have lots of babies.

Requesting to see if anyone has any of these to share.....

1. Bleeding heart - Association maintenance ran over it and killed it.
2. Redbud sapling - Association maintenance ran over it and killed it. They promised to replace and forgot about it.
3. Gardenia cutting - rehabs are fine.
4. Any tropical flowering plants - rehabs are fine.

@antsinmypants OK to zucchini and some other veggies.
I cut off the bottle and use the bottom to sow big seeds then set it inside a larger bottle to create a mini greenhouse, like so:

Thumb of 2024-05-09/pitimpinai/ee1f15
I normally sowed zucchini, cucumber and beans directly in the ground with limited success, so this year I decided to sow these big seeds in this mini greenhouse. The seeds liked it and it seemed that all or most of them germinated.

That's a clever idea! I'll keep an eye out for you. My father just recently found a glass bottle for me to start an enclosed ecosystem in Smiling
