Sarsaparilla in the US was made from Birch oil. It is a similar flavor to root beer, but a little more subtle.
High today forecasted for 64. Off to prune 3 plum trees and a dozen blueberry bushes and a peach tree then burning the trimmings. Also going to attempt planting green peas and turning compost piles.
Sorry sis, you got your hands on some GMO seeds, only about 10% of the GMO seeds will ever produce any fruit if they are taken from GMO produced fruits. It will take about 5 generations of keeping the fruit, keeping the seeds, getting them "clean again" and having some heirlooms....
my BIL had kept some sweetpeas for planting and got also beautiful plants without any peas...Gary
Remember you showing me several non-gmo websites?? I was looking and calling and found out that a shop here in town(!!) only sell non-gmo/heirloom seeds. AND they have watermelon, cantalope and such also. Just bought a 3 year supply of seeds and fertiliser too!!!
Will be happy to buy and send anybody heirloom seeds (watermelons!) if you wish. Gary
Maybe in the US, but here I can get NON-GMO seeds for any possible plant, veggie or fruit...the lady said she does not buy anything but non-gmo seeds and would not sell anything else. She said explicitly that the watermelon are non-gmo...hope she is right and only after I have planted, harvested, saved, and re-planted the seeds will we both know for sure...I need to save the seed and dry them for at least one year before they can be re-planted as "heirloom" true seeds....live free, GaryThere is no such thing as a GMO melon ever.
Good thought and funny how a plandemic brings us all to start thinking of and about such stuff which was never questioned before 2020...Never really gave it much of a thought until recently.
I am also in 6b. I try to stick with the zone ratings for outdoor planting, but you can mess with them a bit if you can deviate the temps, like shade in the summertime, or greenhouse in the fall and winter
On colder nights, I set a petroleum lamp inside to keep the temp over freezing and in the daytime they get good sun on the terrace.
