raising the bar

well, last years seeds are still germinating at a very acceptable rate. 14 seeds planted, 8 has come up so far. A few days left and I think a few more will come up.

So, I'll be taking about 20 seedlings up to east Texas, around Tyler, I've access to almost 23 acres of land there. I plan on transferring the seedlings to the land, and just letting them go all summer, fall and winter. I may get to get up to check on them occasionally, but I plan on letting them ride out the winter. If any survive, we just might have a cold weather strain.

Here's hoping they all make it, :D

Blogging my start into Biodiesel production. Using the plant Jatropha Curcas. Hopefully, documenting the start of some success at raising the plant, obtaining the seeds for press, and marketing the oil.
