Planting Instructions

 

Plum seeds must be cold-stratified before planting. Place the seeds on a damp paper towel, fold up the towel, and place it in a plastic bag. Do not seal the bag; this allows for air-flow. Place the bag in the refrigerator and leave it there for at least 3 months. Check them every couple of weeks and re-dampen the paper towel (carefully), as needed.

In spring, take out the seeds and soak them in warm water for 12-24 hours. This enhances germination success. Transplant the seeds in a pots filled with a rich, peat potting mix. Cover the pot with a plastic bag to keep moisture in. Water daily so the soil is moist but not drenched. Keep the soil warm, 70F or above, and the seeds will sprout in around 3 weeks. Once the seedlings sprout, remove the plastic bag.

Let the seedlings grow in the pot in a sunny location all summer and fall. Continue to water them so the soil is moist but not soggy. They are fragile and need to develop a root system.

In the late-fall, move the container to a protected overwintering location, like a garage or shed. They don't need much sun or care, just a safe place to sit. Do not let them dry out – they'll need watering every few weeks to stay healthy. Do not let the soil get soggy, though, or the roots will rot. Be aware of mice or small rodents in the area who may try to nibble on the seedlings as a winter snack.

In the spring, after all danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to their permanent outdoor location. Place wire fencing around them to protect from rodents and wildlife. Do a springtime fertilizer application and water regularly.

Non-greasy (really) and works great
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
I moved to Michigan at the end of last summer and was positively eaten by mosquitoes through September. (They liked the taste of Texas I guess.) The only formulas I found effective were this and Off Deep Woods. (And yes, I've tried all the natural oil mixes, including Young Living Purification, citronella, etc. changed my lotion, avoided fragrances, you name it.) The Smooth and Dry formula is by far my favorite. It doesn't last as long as the Off 'Deep Woods' offering, but it is really and truly non-oily/non-greasy so it's not a worry to reapply. There is a powdery dust finish involved with the application so be careful where you spray (into the wind, etc.) You don't want to accidentally inhale the stuff. That said, the dry finish means this won't stain clothes or add to the hot sticky feeling you already have to deal with during the summer. One caveat for this particular product listing - this is for a bundle of SMALL 2.5 oz cans. I have never seen this small size in store, so while I thought I was getting a great deal, it was just about the same price per oz that I would have paid buying locally. My fault for not double-checking the size, but still, it was nice to stock up and be able to toss in a bag, the car, etc.
