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.

Great Dog Chew!
My American Pitbull who is 10 months old is an aggressive chewer. He loves this Tikaton bacon scented dog chew. My picture reflects the part he loves the most-the center. It’s his favorite chew & has been chewing on it nonstop & there’s little sign of true wear & tear. He licks the outer portion & really focuses on chewing the center. I like how it’s a non-toxic nylon. The box clearly gives a heads up that this could be a chocking hazard so I do watch him when he’s chewing. He’s 60lbs. & I did get him a large so it’s not too small for him. I don’t foresee him choking on it but I’m cautious. Despite his aggressive chewing there has been zero sign of any piece tearing off. I like how it’s designed so he chews from the side rather than from the top or bottom. I did take a picture, for your reference, which I hope is helpful, of what the box reads in regards to the chew in general. Possibly this will determine if you feel this is right for your dog. I feel it’s a quality chew & it’s worth what I paid. I do recommend!

Dogs would not even put in their mouth!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
Toy is rock hard. Have seen toys like that before, but the smell is disgusting. I have 5 dogs, and while this was purchased for one in particular, none of the dogs would chew on it. Only one put it in his mouth, and then immediately spit it out. My dogs are not picky or finicky but none would have anything to do with it. Total waste of money.

Not the most durable, but my dog LOVES it.
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24"
My boyfriend’s dog had the small version from Petsmart and she has been very gentle with it since she likes it so much. I decided to surprise her with this 24 inch one for Christmas. She was obsessed! It’s cute, it’s very soft, and has a big squeaker in the top, which she loves! She was a little more tough on it and it did get some rips 12 hours in, but it is still in one piece at the moment and brings lots of joy. The dog is a medium/large size. Dog toys can be so expensive. I personally think the was a great price despite not being the most durable. I may purchase again next year!

Update: Excellent Customer Service Made Everything Worthwhile!
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24", Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24"
07/17/2025: This doggy toy was destroyed within 2 hours of its arrival. In my opinion, it was not at all worth the cost. (1 star) Update (07/19/2025): I have contacted the manufacturer and they said they will send out a new replacement toy. As of now, I have revised the review to 2 stars for the excellent and efficient customer service pending arrival of said replacement. Will update again soon. (2 stars) Update (07/23/2025): The replacements have arrived! My dog loves the new plushie sloth and so far it is in tact. It doesn't have stuffing in the body as far as I can tell, so little to no clean up hopefully. They also sent her a spiked squeaky ball and she's getting used to it. This company has some of the best customer service and support that I've experienced. (5 stars)

Cute, Squeaky, and So Much Fun — Perfect Little Loofa Toy
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 6"
The Multipet Original Loofa Dog plush (6”) has been a huge hit. It’s super cute in person, and the random color is a fun surprise. For a plush toy, the durability has been better than expected. It’s held up well to regular play, and the seams have stayed intact. Chewability is solid for light-to-moderate chewers—my dog loves chewing and carrying it around, but it’s still a plush toy, so it’s not meant for aggressive shredders. The squeak is loud enough to keep my dog interested without being obnoxious, and it still squeaks consistently. It’s also really fun for dogs because it has a bit of bounce when tossed, so it’s great for indoor fetch and pouncing. Soft, adorable, and entertaining—easy 5 stars.
