Seed and Plant exchange for 2015

I talked to a biologist that couldn't think it would be a hazard. He claimed most veggies you eat are watered from creeks and rivers, with all kinds of animals in them. And they are watered on the leaves and seeds.
The reason I want them is we have problem with frogs laying eggs in the pond, and fish don't seem to eat them, but turtles do.
Frogs in it self must be a hazard in that case.
So, I give it a try. Hoping on the best. In any case, it wouldn't hurt me loosing a few pound :D

 

I've read that turtles have a lot of waste compared to fish, so it will need to be taken into account when planning on how many grow beds for your plants.

 

Will be plenty. Will go for a rack of 4" tubes with 2" holes for net pots. 5 high, letting water flow from the top one through all to the bottom one, then back.
Will install as many there are need for to keep the water fresh.

 

I'm looking forward to you get your system set up, hopefully you will post some pictures as you are getting it together.

Mokum , please give our regards to your lovely wife , I still have good memory's of that absolutely fantastic lunch that
we had last year , the food was better than any restaurant by far .

How did the seeds the go ? Any success ?

 

Thanks Tony, that's why I stay out of restaurants and eat out only for Chris's sake.

I will answer you here and not with a PM. This bit of info may be useful to other would be gardeners.

With the seeds you brought I have very little success up to now. It seems that I with my limited knowledge of gardening have to stick with local bought ones. I tried and am still trying to germinate the aussie ones in divers ways but not much of an outcome. Beet root, carrots (also local), leek, dwarf beans , radish, the grass ect will not come up but also with local cauliflower, green salad ect I have little success.
What I grow now is :baguio beans, tomato, pechay and endive in the renovated beds but still experimenting with the aussie ones.
Renovated beds bcs the well growing plants started to dwarf and die. Reason: the trees
are now so big that their roots undermine the garden sapping the nutrients out of the soil!!
So we took about 16 inches of soil out. Put first in a thin layer of gravel and sand, on top of this two layers of rice sack material and shoveled the soil back in after mixing some compost and wood chips (from the planer) in.
I planted he only one leftover zucchini seedling in this new soil and he/she is doing very well up to now so do's the baguio beans,the tomato's, pechay and endive. The nursery is not thriving but I keep trying,
Seeking more info on the seeds you brought I found out the price and how generous you were in giving them.. So, if back here come over for an other chat and lunch or dinner. Although with the A-dollar exchange it's not likely to be soon? (It's not any better with the Euro)
