I have done it both with dried bread yeast and with champagne yeast. I think it was a little better with the champagne yeast but not that much different.

Such fantastic plants aren't they? If you like trying to grow weird plants from seed, check out bowiea volubilis. Very bizarre looking, and not hard at all to grow.

Hi thanks. Sorry I forgot i posted this question. So the painting has already been stretched when you fit it tight to the frame? Thanks again.

Hey Mike, I'm not sure if you're still blogging, but for some reason, I'm unable to get the menu to work for Internet Explorer. I loaded your page with IE, and the menu still works beautifully. Any tips? Here's my blog:

I dont think that the roots can stay in the water like that it would start browning the roots thus cutting the oxygen off i think a flood to waste system would be key im trying a hop plant in the near future and im trying to get as much info as possible keep trying hydroghaost

I moved one. Left the other in the original pot. Plus I started a few more seeds in the same better draining soil. Much of what I read online recs high moisture initially though no hard cut off of when they switch from needing tons of moisture to none at all..... I wish I had bought more seeds as i forsee killing lots of them

In response to your comment on my blog (I responded there just now but then realized there was a good chance you'd never see it if you're anything like me, so here it is again!)

Dragon fruit is actually a pretty fun plant if you have space, but like I said, they can be a terrible idea if you don’t. I had one for a while until my mom left it outside all winter while I was in PA. They’re just really really fast growing and get huge in a hurry if you let them. You can always break off segments and use them for grafting and what not. If you get it to bloom the blooms are spectacular and totally worth it. If you’ve ever grown/are familiar with Epiphyllum they’re kind of like that in habit.

As for the Pseudolithos, I’ve never grown them personally, nor have I had luck with mesembs in general, but I do know they need exceedingly well drained soil. I think it’d be worth the risk to move them because they’ll probably rot before they can get any decent size. You could always move one and see how that works out? One of the blogs I read, Stupid Garden Plants has recently started growing them, he might have some first hand advice for you if you so desire.

I tried this and my tv is displaying a dim screen and won't play anything from my cable box or wii (it says program is blocked). Do you have any other suggestions? Unfortunately, I've already had my tv for over 2 years so its too late to return. Any advice would be appreciated since Sceptre isn't even open on the weekends so I can't call them! Ugh!

Yikes... I have a jade plant I pinched off on my honeymoon. It has been growing for almost 5 years, and it's not branching. I want branches, but I hesitate to do this for fear it will die! I love the idea of having this plant as long as I've been married.

I'm a little late on this post. Ran across it while doing some research. I'm trying to figure out a way to smooth the cut edge on my wine bottles. I like the idea of a stained glass grinder, but there's water involved and I'm wanting to keep the labels on the bottle for decorative purposes. I was curious if you've experimented with the grinder and what you had experienced.

Love your blog! Nice to see such crazy creativity and a take-no-prisoners willingness to try anything. I mentioned your lost-glue casting in my blog today, and put a photo of your tree (with full credit, of course). You can see it here, if you're interested: http://elephantaday.blogspot.com/2012/02/elephant-no-130-glue-gun-sculpture.html
