Sowing Guide 

Blackberry seeds require a period of cold stratification for optimal germination - this is natures way of stopping seeds germinating at the wrong time of year, eg the autumn and being killed by frost/snow before can get established. Thanks to fridges we can "trick" such seeds into thinking that winter has passed and now its time to wake up!

You can do this in two ways: natural or artificial

Natural

Sow the seed in trays of compost (ericaceous ideally), lightly cover with sieved compost. Cover with netting or similar to keep animals and birds off. Leave outside over winter - the natural fluctuations of temperature will trigger germination in the spring.


Artificial

  • Place the seeds in a small ziplock bag along with some slightly damp potting compost and place in the fridge for at least 2 months, or longer until sowing time of around February. 
  • Prepare pots or seed trays of a well-draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 compost and vermiculite mix
  • Sow  evenly spaced on surface. Press gently to surface but do not cover.
  • Regularly mist surface with water
  • Cover seed tray with plastic dome (vents open) or a clear bag with air holes cut.
  • Ensure compost kept moist but not wet - best to water from the bottom.
  • Seedling should appear in around 6 weeks
  • Pot on once have several sets of true leaves using ericaceous compost 


Olly's General Guide to Seed Sowing!

I love sowing seeds and it runs in the family - dad, grandad and finally my great-grandad for whom the hobby helped him get over his experiences in the Great War. I still get a big kick when I see the first seedliing poking through from a new plant that I have never sown before or been successful at. However, even the most experienced gardeners draw "blanks" from time to time. Whilst I sow all the seeds that I sell so I know that they are viable, some are trickier than others and problems can arise so here are some tips to make "blanks" few and far between:

1) Dont Rush! Tempting though it is when that packet arrives in the post to simply bung the seeds in some compost!

2) Google and Youtube are your friends! Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed. 

3) Think Nature! What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet and dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience and there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat.

4) Good compost pays dividends . The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite and one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up whatever soil type a particular seed likes (although for most seeds I find a 50/50 mix of compost and vermiculite works just fine) 

5) Rot is your enemy. The single biggest danger to seed germination is rot - either before or after "damping off" the seeds germinate. To reduce the risk, ensure you have good free draining soil mix and that it is moist but not wet. Unless the seed variety absolutely requires it I prefer NOT to cover my seeds trays with plastic bags, Whilst germination is often faster this way, it greatly increases the risk of rot. I prefer to place my seed trans inside a watertight plastic tray and water from the bottom - airflow over the surface reduces the risk.

Removing Peach-Fuzz from your face :)
Before I ordered this item I did not know how important it would be to remove peach puzz from my face. By removing the tiny peach fuzz from my face, I am creating the smoothest possible surface for my skin, and for my makeup. I never truly understood this until I tried this method & saw the amazing results. (Being vision impaired, I also never really saw how much peach fuzz a normal human being has... until I used this item.) I highly recommend this item for anyone who wants to take care of their complexion and how their makeup and skin looks on a daily basis. I still can't believe it, but it's a real game changer! (Oh & by the way, these things fold in half, so the blade is covered and it can be carried in your makeup purse without any danger to you.) Enjoy!! 💖 XO

Cut my face
I’ve tried several brands of derma blades in recent years. This is the first one that cut my face in several places. It definitely thoroughly removed facial hair and exfoliated well but be careful. It also felt a little cheap and too lightweight which made it difficult to maneuver.

Poor product
Blade was not sharp enough to remove hair. The raggedy blade scratched and but my face. Very disappointed. My granddaughter had a different brand of this item and it was so smooth removing the hair.

I absolutely loved this book.
Format: Paperback
“This book is about creativity, based on histories of contemporary people who know about it firsthand. It starts with a description of what creativity is, it reviews the way creative people work and live, and it ends with ideas about how to make your life more like that of the creative exemplars I have studied. There are no simple solutions in these pages and a few unfamiliar ideas. The real story of creativity is more difficult and strange than many overly optimistic accounts have claimed. For one thing, as I will try to show, an idea or product that deserves the label ‘creative’ arises from the synergy of many sources and not only from the mind of a single person. It is easier to enhance creativity by changing conditions in the environment than by trying to make people think more creatively. And a genuinely creative accomplishment is almost never the result of a sudden insight, a lightbulb flashing on in the dark, but comes after years of hard work.” ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi from Creativity Creativity with a capital C—the type of Creativity that changes the world. How can we go about cultivating it in our lives? That’s what this book is all about. Our guide is Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi—one of the founders of the positive psychology movement. Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced “cheeks sent me high”) is a professor at Claremont Graduate University and the former Chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago who wrote the classic book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience . This book features the wisdom gained from over three decades of research along with over one hundred interviews with extraordinary people—from scientists and business leaders to artists and poets. Warning: Although deeply insightful, it’s not an easy read. If you’re looking to understand creativity at a deeper level via one of the world’s leading (and legendary) psychologists then I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Here are some of my favorite Big Ideas: 1. What is Creativity - Domain + field + person. 2. Attention - + Being kind weird 3. Complexity - + Resolving dischotomies. 4. Rhythms - Your ideal days? 5. Creativity + Flow - The 9 elements Well, there we go. That’s a super quick look at this great book. Time to get our flow on as we tap into our Creativity and optimize + actualize!
