Anyway, I ran a bunch of peaches through it yesterday; into Mason jars. It came out mostly as foam which I thought would settle down. 24 hours later the jars are still half foam. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it works? ]]> Fruit and Vegetable Growing UncleJoe http://www.preparedsociety.com/forum/f14/who-makes-their-own-juice-3806/ Wild Blueberry and Milkweed Transplant?? http://www.preparedsociety.com/forum/f14/wild-blueberry-milkweed-transplant-3780/ Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:40:15 GMT My daughter came back from West Virginia with a surprise for me.

She dug up a wild blueberry plant. Picture a "Charlie Brown Christmas tree" with very few little roots. No dirt bulb, she stuck it in a bottle of water. What do I do with this to try to grow it here? Or should I just strip the leaves off (I wanted the leaves to dry for teas) and call it a loss?

She basically did the same thing with Milkweed. I wanted the roots, she brought me whole plants with tiny roots.

Should I try a rooting compound? Just stick them in the garden? HELP! ]]> Fruit and Vegetable Growing mdprepper http://www.preparedsociety.com/forum/f14/wild-blueberry-milkweed-transplant-3780/
