We planted our jatropha stems in a temporary space outdoors until we can get our pasture plowed next week. They are already starting to get buds in one day. Nice weather in Phoenix, not too hot, but warm still at night with some humidity.

I am really amazed at getting new buds in one day. We are very hopeful that we may get a small harvest in six months. We are putting this first batch of stems in an irrigated pasture so we can find with ideal conditions the type of yield possible.

I am growing some of the jatropha in pots at my house so I can watch closely the day to day progress.
