Definitely a good resource. Did not know that cherry blossoms usually face down! Thanks for sharing

I think I’m somewhere around As for Koppen-Geiger

I actually have no idea! It’s from the Going to Seed organization, so it’s a bunch of different corn from disparate genetic origins thrown together in one seed packet to see what likes your local conditions. So far it’s not doing too badly for being neglected lol

Growing a grain for the first time myself! Have a small plot of corn. I’m really hoping I have enough for pollination, but it’s just a test regardless

Satsumas look really cool. I love mandarin oranges. Any specific suppliers you recommend?

Thank you for this awesome resource! Though I don’t live in that area, it certainly is useful. Oh, and I did add my hardiness zone. Don’t know how I missed that

Some very interesting picks! I actually have quite a bit of Chaya outside, but I haven’t sampled it yet. It was here long before I got here. There was also a sour orange tree, but it succumbed to a whole host of issues that I couldn’t even begin to identify. The flowers smell divine though. I notice that you have several plants from the ginger family on your list. Any tips for growing them? I’ve been failing rather hilariously with any attempts just working with the usual stuff from the grocery store.

I’ve been eying some figs for awhile. I have a very small citrus seedling. Don’t even remember what fruit it came from (probably a lemon), though it’s very fragrant

I am in the Caribbean with a pretty heavy clay soil. I mainly grow herbs like Cuban oregano, basil, sage, mint, lemongrass, etc. I also have some fruiting plants like tomatoes and some eggplants. I have some shady raised beds, and I also do a little growing in ground, but mainly I use pots. What I’m really trying to do is to build out some more raised beds and have enough soil for the sunnier pot-based growing space.

First thing first, just to be clear, it seems like you are looking for more of an editorial perspective?

I mean I’m not read at all on soil science literature, so while I’m not opposed to anything “scientific” you have to say, and in fact would be happy to learn, I would probably need to do some googling. Also sorry mate, but you are officially a soil scientist at this point.
