Hellos from New York!

Hi i'm Lucy. Im from a wicked tiny town in downstate NY. Im a noob at growing CPs. I dont have any yet, but im germinating some sarracenia seeds right now. I cant wait till they sprout!
 
Welcome to the forum! That's a long road ahead growing from seed, hopefully they'll turn out well for you! Hope you enjoy the forum :)
 
:welcome: to TF. There are many freebees here, and most likely you'll get some plants from nice people for just the cost of shipping. :D
 
Hi lucy, Im new here too, but not to CP's. I have started some sarracenia seeds too ( 3+ wks ago, still have a while till germination). Have you read " The Savage Garden by Peter D' Amato"? Its a great starting point on cp cultivation (also there are many great cp mail order nurseries online so you can buy a mature plant and not have to start from seed).
 
Welcome!
What county are you located in in NY? My Dad used to live in Orange County, not too far from the "American Chopper" guys.
Good luck with your Sarracenia seeds!

Welcome to TF! Where is Dundee, NY? I'm FROM New York State and never heard of it. Is it along I-81 or NY 17? I'm in East Aurora, which is a small town SE of Buffalo.
 
Welcome! I also would recommend Peter D'Amato's book! I'm lucky and live right around the way from Peter's nursery (California Carnivores). Peter is a great guy and has tons of great information to share!
 
Welcome to TF. I know of a Dundee, NY about 45 min from me in Yates county?

downstate?
hmmm..generally anything north and west of Poughkeepsie is "upstate"! ;)

unless you are from Long Island..in which case anything north of the Bronx is "upstate"! ;)

I know east and western NY but only cursory knowledge of central NY. Watertown once got 48" of snow in one day! Puhl-ask-eye, right?
