My label says southern Texas. Although that's quite a large area!

The long name.... Astrophytum asterias cv. superkabuto fma. rubraflora The short name...Astrophytum superkabuto rubraflora :mrgreen: Not all of these will bloom pink/red, but most do. Usually most will have atleast some pink/red in them that differs from the standard asterias or superkabuto. Nice pl...

They aren't going to complain if they miss a feeding or 2. Use the drench w/o fert. as your weekly watering with one product, then do it again in another 4 weeks with another product with a different active ingredient. This keeps the bugs guessing so they don't get used to the same ingredient each t...

Just a word of caution about the duct tape. Although it's not as hot and dry as is it here in SoCal. Over time the duct tape will become very dry and brittle and will start to just fall apart. I used duct tape to wrap all the purlin connectors on one of our nursery greenhouses (to avoid any rips in ...

Using these 1 x 6 now as i got those ones free, plus this adds even more support for the flats. Another plus...

Also makes it just that much easier for crawly bugs and insects to get into the pots when sitting on the ground. (although this isn't really a ...

Not a whole lot of progress since last time. The outer bench frame on the right side is complete, ran out of top boards to finish it off :roll: Although quite a few small things have been done to be able to go forward with the bigger stuff. It's busy season so it's getting harder and harder to find ...
