Blake Lenoir

Good evening! Found one of my targets in the Winnigstat cabbage and successfully obtained them from a seed company in Illinois yesterday. Looking forward to growing the historic variety to help reclaim memories of my community's German settler past in Chicago to edify everybody. If anybody has any of the stuff I mentioned on the list, please let me know in the Purple Moosage. Take care.

Good evening friends. Blake back seeking a few key targets for his Balkan garden this year and beyond to help his community remember their past. Here's a short list.
1. Osmak white corn
2. Serbian white pumpkin
3. Sunny Creek (Serbian) cucumber
4. Serbian or Croatian red onion
5. Serbian or Croatian carrot
6. Serbian sweet melon
Needing more help to accomplish a successful European settler garden in Chicago where I have one of the largest Serbian populations in America and among the largest Balkan populations in the country outside of their motherlands. My community has a rich economic and religious history of these ethic peoples who have contributed greatly despite scars being left behind.
If anybody has seeds of any of those, please message me on the Purple Moosage so we can discuss ways to obtain them this year since I don't know anybody from the Balkans and will have trouble bringing them to America due to the legal obstacles. Be blessed.

Please reach me at the Purple Moosage page if you need me and talk about in depth about my targets. Good night!

Cool process! Where I get the bag and mushroom mix from? Could we find those at any store such as Home Depot or Ace? And do they have the large plastic bag as shown on YouTube? Thanks!

Good evening M! Your beautiful encouragement is more than welcome and it's an inspiring sight. Wish there's more people out there to aid me on my quest. My love for horticulture and nature has been a treasure and they empowered me lot to aid others and myself. Take care friend.

Good evening friends! How are you? Blake is looking for more help in acquiring some very historic Serbian, Croatian and Bulgarian crops to help restore his community's past in Chicago to edify everybody this year and beyond. One of the crops I already have is the Futog cabbage and it's grown from the 18th century.
Here's some targets I'm hunting for.
1. Osmak eight row white corn
2. Serbian white pumpkin
3. Serbian oval gray pumpkin
4. Cerovaca Old Serbian melon
5. Serbian or Croatian red onion
6. Serbian cucumber
7. Bulgarian long cucumber
8. Balkan cabbage
9. Bulgarian long lettuce
10. Serbian buckwheat
Most of these will be hard to bring into America at this stage because of the obstacles. I never had ordered from Europe before for anything. I'm looking for the absolute best to grow for my community and edify all. Please reach me at the Purple Moosage page to discuss more ways to acquire these historic crops so some of my quests can be accomplished. Good night!

Good evening friends! How's everybody in this new year? I've tried to grow some mushrooms on toilet paper in large plastic, but ended up being spoiled. How can do it the right way? And how could I produce more mushrooms on toilet paper? Done it last month at a Christmas event at my community farm in my neighborhood and I enjoyed it. I'd like see how it's done. Please shoot me back if you need me. Take care.

Happy 2026 folks! How are you? Seeking help in acquiring a few Serbian varieties.
Here's my list.
1. Osmak eight row corn
2. Serbian white or gray pumpkin
3. Serbian old melon (very sweet and juicy)
4. Serbian cucumber (green one)
5. Serbian white beans
6. Serbian white or red onion
7. Serbian leek
8. Serbian white sweet pepper
9. Serbian carrot
10. Serbian green salad (lettuce type)
I'm trying to restore my community's European Balkan past in Chicago for its economic and religious contributions in the late 1800s to the 1900s, but needed some help in finding a few places and folks that would help acquire me some of those historic crops to America to help the Serbian and Balkan communities remember their motherlands and ancestors who came there after heavy political persecution years ago. I can't find those anywhere else in America or in the world for that matter.
If there's anybody in America who's of Serbian or Balkan descent growing some of this stuff, please let me know in the comments or in the Purple Moosage to discuss more and how to acquire them. One of those I already have is the Futog cabbage and I'm planning to grow those this year. Please shoot back as soon as possible.
Take care!

What's happening! Thanks for aiding me. You're welcome back to help anytime. Take care.

Happy 2026 folks! How's everybody? I'd like to find out which materials I begin first before creating designs for my new path for it to become innovative. I wanted to create a wildlife scene to commemorate my community's past. Take care!
