Raffi's board
Thanks for the Info. I was thinking that the average gardener wasn't going to need all the scientific jargon. I know it is confusing me.
I will sift through the Grape section as I have time and try to make sense out of what is there and what to keep. Thanks for the quick reply. I was a little worried that this was an uninhabited wiki. ~~~~
Hi Raffi.... I know I went MIA there for a very long time - got too busy. Wanted to let you know that one of the projects I started is called SLOLA - Seed Library of Los Angeles. We've only had a couple of meetings, but the database committee will be using Gardenology as _the_ source to quote on seed saving procedures and we are going to have a committee of several to post the proper seed saving techniques for each vegetable that we have in our library so library members uncertain on how to save the seeds will know that this is the 'official' source.
Hope you have had a good year and I hope to have more spare time to go back to my California Native Tree list. Among other things. And may this email find you well and prospering.

Hey, thanks for the info, I worked really hard on that page and would like to keep it if possible.
thank you very much for info it means that i should keep the soil moist and wet enough, ain't it? do you have any idea about what is the best soil for grow that araceae's familys nicely?
hiii... thanks for appreciated, anyway i've a bit problems with my plants, especially about the soil, i think i have not yet use the right soil to growed nicely so that they looks sallow and become dried...may be you have any info or suggest could be shared here, i would be appreciate
OpenID can work with Wordpress & MediaWiki, so we're thinking about that as a backend.
Interesting, thanks - but there are no anti-spam measures, right?
We want to try out a couple of forum options (Wordpress plugin, and Wordpress-compatible forum) but exploring all the options...
Thanks for the good words - where would I post most of it though? Hmmmm.... more work... a lot of stuff will have to wait until after Earth Day - too much to do! And, to top it all, I'm leaving town for 10 days (20 March to 30 March). Going to see wildflowers in Anza Borego before heading on out to Tucson to visit (and try to catch a Dodger spring training game!). david
Just noticed this, http://www.cafepress.com.au/www_plants_am do they still come up with www.plants.am?
I just came across the blog you did only four times, what happened to that? Just out of curiousity?
Curiously, what would you say to the idea of us having a section on the main page for pages like Plants for Wet and Boggy Areas? Along with Plants for Hot and Dry Areas and whatever else I can come up with.
I don't think I have enough rights on here to delete pages, either that or I'm looking in the wrong spot?
Is there a way to delete the plant box that is on some pages? Since pages like saffron don't need any plant information, just a redirect to the botanical name.
Crud, it just made links. Opps. Basically it's quicker to just use {{sp|M|eterosideros| and copy that small piece, then just add the species name to the end, and the two }'s, than having to type it out the way it was previously.
Well, basically what happens is instead of typing that huge piece M. excelsa you can now just type M. excelsa which helps to tidy things up and just keep it all smaller! And then for cultivars, instead of doing M. excelsa 'Aurea' and having to do that for every cultivar, like with the Papaver article, you can just type M. excelsa. 'Aurea' and then can just copy and paste the {{cu|M|eterosideros|excelsa| piece and then add to the end. So, it doesn't necessarily speed up individual additions, but it doesn't slow them either. The best thing for it to be used with is when you are adding huge numbers of cultivars or species, so you only have to type the cultivar name or species name, instead of something like copying "[[Papaver " and then pasting it, and then having to build it up to P. purpureamarginatum, which takes ages when you're adding some 40 cultivar names ;D
Awesome! The Papaver article looks good now :P Just need to green up those red links I think ;D I'm finding this whole project quite enjoyable, researching plant information! As for the photos, I figured that one out accidentally, by copying the mealybug article over. :3
Yeah, I tried that, they make a weird gel that feels like you're swallowing huge globs of phlegm haha.
I just harvested the seed from my single plant and it's a HUGE hassle, since you have to separate the seeds from the little capsules some how, and each plant only produces about a tablespoon full of seeds. So get enough to have a steady supply of them throughout the year, you'd probably need a plant for every day of the year :\
I didn't know about the add a plant thing! That's pretty useful to know. And yes, I'll take a little more notice with those sorts of things, I just noticed the dead links to useless stuff unrelated to gardening so deleted those. If I come across articles with things like that, then I will remember to delete them!
Hello, thanks for the message, much appreciated :D And I certainly will continue adding plants, I will keep up with the Kiwi ones for a while, and move out from there perhaps. This is sort of a goal for me as well, to get a proper, full encyclopaedia for plants since I am constantly looking for information on a huge range of things, and it would be great to have it in one place!
Hi Raffi - sorry I haven't signed on for a few days (!) Thanks for the changes on the formatting of CA trees - I seemed to have messed up the last one I put in... I'm sorry I missed your post on the cuttings - did you get started on that already? I have little experience with Chalice Vine cuttings but I'm game to ask a friend who does work with vines like that. Most vines are really easy - probably a little bottom heat (you are in San Diego, right? - which means you are even warmer than I am). I do all my cuttings in a soil medium, not water.
Thanks Raffi. I clicked on the camera to add photos, but they are not linked back to the info page that, the camera icon was on. I'm totally new to this, so if you could let me know what to do or a page that provides that info. Thanks The photos are: -clematis seed head -Trachelospermum
