Dolichandra unguis-cati is a climbing vine in the Bignoniaceae family. A native to the dry forests of Central America and the Caribbean. It is commonly known as funnel creeper, cat's claw creeper, or cat's claw trumpet. This should be grown in a container as it can be invasive. Covering a 100' fence would be useful, and it looks spectacular when in bloom. It can grow to 60 feet or more as it has running roots with tubers that can go on and on. I had one planted next to a perennial Morning Glory, where it was kept from running too far. It will take over if it doesn't have anything to compete against it. The flowers are a bright yellow, around 1-2 inches in a trumpet shape. I grew mine in filtered shade to keep it at bay a little. Little watering is needed as the tubers keep this one going once established. Zones 8-11 Germination You should use a well-drained, sandy compost with sand or grit. Sow seeds on top of the soil and tamp in. Lightly cover seeds with fine soil or sand. Place the seed tray in filtered bright light and keep it moist until germination.

Cumin, also known as caraway is a spice used to sometimes flavor rye bread. It is also much less commonly known as the secret ingredient to most of Taco Bell seasonings. I discovered this by finding a copycat recipe for taco bell seasoning. Taco Bell lists their ingredients as spices, they don’t actually tell you that they use a very large amount of cumin. When making this copycat recipe and using the cumin, it was very clear that it is a strong and abundant spice used in their food. You can use cumin to make your own tacos and much healthier too! It’s it’s also a plant that produces beautiful white flowers, reminiscent of Queen Anne’s lace, without being invasive and is actually also a member of the carrot/parsley family. Some say it’s an annual, others a biennial. Plant will re-seed, if you wish to grow it similar to a perennial. This is for 100 seeds
