Morsel_A F1 was a plant I grew in 2021. It was an F1 hybrid, with Napoli as the mother, and an unknown smaller-fruited plant as the father. The fruits were ovate in a symmetrical fashion; they were somewhat sweet, and quite good. They tasted like they'd be good tomatoes in salad (and for snackin...read more

MKX_ is a tomato breeding project. MKX_A F1 was the first plant of the project, grown in 2017, and was a cross between Medovaya Kaplya and another tomato. The cross evidently happened in my own garden in 2016 (when I grew the true Medovaya Kaplya, and probably over a hundred other tomato variet...read more

This virus looks a lot like magnesium-deficiency (the link describes how it's different). It's spread by whiteflies.

It's still a Coronavirus, so I'm sure the vaccine helps at least a little.

Horehound is a very interesting herb. It's not just like another version of mint in what it does (although it does some of the same things). I recommend studying it.
While this article doesn't tell a lot of the things horehound is supposed to be good for, if you're interested in horehound sci...read more

1 heaping 1/8 teaspoon iodized salt
0.25 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
A few tablespoons avocado oil
Water (enough to make it the right consistency)
I tried it again th...read more

Note: If you're in the USA and want free seeds for any of my breeding projects, don't hesitate to ask. I would love for you or others to grow them.

* Status: Almost stable as of the F2, actually (due to so many recessive traits showing up); growing F4s in 2022. The f...read more

I've previously tried rooting grapefruit cuttings in water in a windowsill (probably about four times). Each time it failed. The cutting would eventually dry up and die, with no roots, after some weeks. I didn't use hormone-rooting powder, however (but that would dissolve in the water, rather th...read more

Many people know the following about starting an avocado tree from a seed/pit:
Stick toothpicks in the side to hold it up in a jar of water. Wait for it to grow. Plant.
However, did you know there's a trick to getting the tree to grow straight up and really tall really fast? Basically, wha...read more

I discovered the other day when I ate a whole large onion (I fried it, and then put it on my quesadillas, and fried them) that I felt really good, like eating that much onion was super healthy or something. It was a red onion, if that makes any difference.
I've eaten fairly large amounts of o...read more

Did you know you can roast garlic directly in the flames of a hot fire? (Such behavior causes marshmallows to burst into flames, or would likely turn hotdogs to charcoal.) I didn't read how to do this online; I wanted to burn the skins off instead of peeling them.
Here's how you do it:
