1st Post of 2015!

I have been scarifying and stratifying a number of seeds and will be germinating them over the next couple of months.

 

My Goji berry plants were started in October. I germinated seed from berries I bought at the local health food store.

 

 

Goji berry plants are a shrub that is native to the Himalayas and listed as hardy to zone 5. Since I am on the cusp of zone 5, I anticipate some extra winter protection being required.
But I believe it is worth the effort as the berries are extremely high in antioxidants and have a very good assortment of amino acids.


Over the next few months I will be starting a lot of seeds, beginning with perennials and trees including sea buckthorn, siberian pea shrub, honey locust, aronia berry, serviceberry, asparagus, hazelnut and much more.

Happy New Year!
