It's a magazine, rectangular in shape, with lots of pages. A mixture of text and photos. |

Good grief! Can something that good for you actually BE good for you, if you know what I mean! I think my system would die of shock with such a blasting of nutrition in one go! ;D But from the picture they look delicious.  |

Re: Goji Berries (Lycium barbatum) Being a veteran/inveterate seed sower, I sowed some of Whitworth's dried Goji berries, and .....drum roll..... they have germinated.  Whether they will survive my 'tender ministrations' and I will be able to grow them on is anyone's guess.  I actually just 'bunged them in' a couple of months ago, in my cold greenhouse. I thought I would see what happens if I do the sowing properly. So, I soaked the dried berries overnight in warm water (to start with). The next day I gently tore open the berry, and report that there are at least half a dozen yellow seeds inside. I have now sown these, so will try and let you know how they get on later in the year. So, if you have the patience to wait a couple or three years, you could potentially have loads of plants for next to nothing. ;D |

Ooh! That's very interesting Yakram...you clever thing! I'll be interested to see how they do. I do like plants for free! I wonder how long they'll take to fruit... |

I bought some dried goji berries from Julian Graves at the weekend - buy one bag get one free, thought I would try them. Perhaps the chocolate covered ones I bought as well aren't quite so good for you  They are also selling packs of seeds. Might try your idea at the weekend, thanks Yakram. PS I haven't tried eating them yet! |
