Ribes + Polygonatum

Hi all,

Gradually I start to built up a collection of Ribes shrubs and
Polygonatum plants.
Does anybody of you have experiences with sowing species/cultivars of
these genera?
Any experiences/thricks applied are welcome.
I noticed that self sown seeds are often coming up reasonably well in my
garden , but dry stored seeds often cause trouble...
Thanks for any advise you have

I checked him and his fangs look like they're a fraction of the size they should be. He clearly can't bite through the cricket's shells to suck their juices. I took several and pierced them with a knife for him (without killing them) and he seems to be able to handle those OK, but am I doing the right thing? Is he going to be OK? Someone help!!

In our group of  taratula enthusiasts it has been reported on several occasions that a certain spider broke one or both his fangs. Applying an articial way of providing food made them in most cases survive... In several occasions they will generate in one or two molts...
Of course it is interesting to know how your P. antinous lost his fangs. From reports we obtained till now, in some case the spider bit its fangs into the plastic of its cage (thats why we use only glass for spiders) and while loosong its grip broke of its fangs while sliding down the side/top of the cage, in other occasions the spider hooked his fangs into mash and could not
remove its fangs, or by trying to get free lost its grip and broke of its fangs...
So be aware of the risks available in the cages you use...
