I was interested in making hydrochar when I first read about it until I read how high the pressure they were using was, something like 20 atm or more.  Still somewhat interested but just had me concerned about explosions.

What was the caterpillar’s New Year’s resolution?
She wanted to turn over a new leaf.

Another person just called me, coughed, sneezed and hung up.
I sure am tired of getting these cold calls.

Searching for 'Bigger Better Butternut' squash doesn't seem to bring any current suppliers up, but it does show that this variety was Carol's dehybridization of the 'Ultra HP F1" hybrid, which is still available.  While a traditional seed saver might not want that one, anyone interested in making a giant butternut landrace would see its hybrid status as a bonus.  I went ahead and ordered that one to play with along with several other big ones.

From a fellow Mainer, welcome to Permies, Ada.  Sounds like a wonderful set of projects.  Looking forward to learning more about your plans!

What nationality is Santa?
North Polish.

Got a job at the bakery.
I kneaded the dough.

Wait, does that mean that my "I love Maine" mug is not funny to Canadians???

Last year I threw a boomerang....been living in fear ever since.

Yes, they make offsets and form into clusters of bulbs.  I've heard that seeds can take about 3 years to get to flowering age if they're happy, but not sure how long until the bulbs are full sized.  

I just figure that the bulb planting will give me a head start and hopefully the seeds will help fill in between the planted bulbs.  If it takes 5 years (or even 10) for my lower lawn to become a thickly filled camas field I will be thrilled!
