goji

Hi Zuni
i had to look up goji and wow very interesting
http://www.gojiberry.com/

i did pick up on that you said you were trying to sprout them from dried berries..
you probably already know that if it is dried you luck is slim to none..
but
it can be done
don't tell anyone what i am about to share..ssssssshhhhh


have the berries on a non living surface..spread out seperately
you might want to wipe them off with a paper towel or something that won't add anything to them


after your meditation or clearing exercise
shake your hands out...you do know which is you dominate hand, don't you
use that one..if you have been initiated into any healing form..like reiki but not just that
then it is ususally the opposite of your writting hand
if you don't know then try each hand one at a time and if you are paying attetntion you will figure it out real quick
what hand do you touch someone with when they hurt?

take that hand and with you eyes closed and your mind clear
place your hand above each berry and sense for life force
those are the berries to try and sprout

and yes it will work with all kinds of things

thanks sky otter for the wonderful suggestions........i ´m going to give it a go........i´ll be delighted even if i get only one plant.....

goji s are delicious........actually they are the best thing i´ve ever tasted....they are nutrious.....and they are great fresh or dried........and they are great to grow a natural fence......and you can harvest berries for 4 or 5 months out of the year.......they start producing after the second year........

gojis are good for the planet........

hi sky otter.....i had to run here to tell you.......
THE GOJI SEEDS ARE STARTING TO SPROUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i´m sooo happy.....i am in love with goji..........

and they are sprouting at record speed......i´ll be able to tell next week what percentage sprouted........wooohooo

wow that's great...now you can start your grove...

if you have too many and not enough pots to put them in..can i make a suggestion..
styrofoam cups..just punch holes in the bottom before you put the dirt in and you can easily sit them in something like a cookie sheet or pan or on a board to move them ..

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now you can have your own supply...

hoping most of them grow for you

yesterday i transplanted 250 goji seedlings........they are tiny about the size of an alfalfa sprout........

i woke up this morning and found that one didn´t make it........lol......

i´m soo happy cause i collected the seeds from around 20 berries..........and the odds were that one seed out of each berry would sprout........but it looks that about 90 % actually sprouted !!!!

so i played beethoven for them while i was transplanting......they seemed to like his music........

******up date ***
well these goji are a bit diffecult to grow at first becuse the stems are skinnier then i alfalfa sprout......i have had about ten more deaths this week........but my thery is that the strong will survive and be plentiful producers......i have like 245 babbies still standing.......they are so nice......i take them outside to sit in the sun every afternoon.........but i really gotta watch the wind........i water them with a syringe.......it takes quite a while but it´s a must cause they are so fragile.....

i love them........

i love them........

and they love you, that's why they sprouting...
i heard it takes four years for the goji to actually
produce the berries....

yeah it takes 4 years till ya get a good size harvest......but i think you´ll get a few berries in the 2nd year........well my fingers are crossed......hehehe

i watered all the babies again today with the syringe.......there little steams are gettin stronger.......

i loose a few every day because of the wind or because the steam cant hold the weight of the leaves.......lol........some are startin to take off !!!!!! they are sooo cute.......

i´m thinkin of usin twisty ties as little braces......but i have to wait till they are a bit bigger

because the steam is so fraigle at this point that i´m worried that if the steam touches the twisty tie it will slice it like a knife through butter ......

well the gojis have five leaves now......getting much bigger........but the steam is still flimsy........i have them proped up with dirt.........mut i don´t put them outside cause i think the wind will break them......lol.........i´m not sure how to make the steam stronger..........

i only water them from the bottem......hoping that the roots will grow stronger and deeper.......but doesn´t seem to help the steam........

anybody have a suggestion ????
