I transplanted my Tresca strawberry plants (all in the same spot), today (Saturday). they possibly had a disease (maybe rust, by the look of it); so, I put them by the other diseased strawberries. My hope is either that it overcomes the disease or that it produces fruit before it dies (so I can ...read more

I know I'm not a cat, but I've taken to drinking milk from a bowl (no, not lapping it up, but drinking as if it were a cup). You're probably wondering why:
• Well, one of those reasons is that I dip my peanut butter sandwiches in milk, and it's a whole lot easier to do that in a bowl than in ...read more

I thought the above link was insightful. It tells of the many things they can do with this plant in Africa. Apparently, they eat the leaves, too!
Just as a note, although the fruits are spiky, the plants themselves are more likely to scrat...read more

Here is my first ripe fruit from my Brandy Boy F10 plant (which plant had a very late start). The other two fruits are partially ripe (which is to say, ripe enough to save seeds). The ripe fruit has some concentric cracking and the beginnings of radial cracking, but the fruit is quite firm, and ...read more

Here's the actual list of tomatoes that I planted (I enumerated them on 3 April 2020, but I've edited some more in); there are about 93 kinds (a few have two plants each, including Carbon, Ovita, Pink Cheeks, Purple Calabash, and Galapagos Island, but Napoli has 4, Marion has 6 or 7, and Tart Br...read more

My Aji Ammarillo pepper plant, which is extremely tall (without needing support as yet) is finally setting a bunch of peppers! I'm happy.

Here's today's Jalapeno harvest. Most are Randy Sine's Evil Jalapenos (those big ones on top are probably a cross). Some are Farmer's Jalapenos (not much netting; so, maybe it's a cross, too); they're the light green ones on the left. Some are just regular Jalapenos (on the far left; the short, ...read more

Today, I tried wonderberries on pizza for the first time, and the result was awesomeness. I think this could really catch on if more people tried it. Another taster said that it was 'actually really good'. To my tongue, they add a sweet and tangy taste with olive-like qualities. It seemed to add...read more

There are two varieties known as Red Beauty. This is the one with stripes and anthocyanin. I think Brad Gates bred it. I grew this in 2017. It had good taste and decent production. The plant size was about that of Manitoba.

Finally, I've found a picture of what I believe is a Blacktail Mountain watermelon; whatever the case, I grew (in 2017). The fruits were more oblong and perhaps darker in 2016 (so, I imagine this is a cross).

Here are pictures of some Metki Dark Green Serpent melons from my prolific caged plant in 2017 (which had little water and no black plastic). It's one of my favorite things that I've ever grown. I think caging it helped, though, as did growing it in a good spot of ground. The fruits stayed good ...read more

I'm growing this, this year, for the first time. It seems a lot like a mildly hot version of the Sweet Banana pepper . It's kind of different, though.

We grew this in 2018, and I'm growing it this year, too. We probably grew it a number of years ago, too (maybe 2014 or 2013); the fruits were smaller/thinner then.
This year and last, it has been easy-to-grow and prolific. It perhaps has thicker skin than many peppers. Freezing isn't the idea...read more

I've grown Ring of Fire (Baker Creek's version) a few times, and loved it, especially in 5-gallon buckets.
I'm growing Timeless-tomatoes.com's version, this year. The peppers are perhaps less pointed, less shiny, smaller, and later, but that may be due to growing conditions (it was right next...read more

A few years ago, I got some Randy Sine's Evil Jalapeno F3 pepper seeds and grew two plants. One plant had orange fruit. The other one had red fruit. The orange one was earlier. It was one of my most vigorous peppers, if not my most (it was the most that first year anyway). The green ones were th...read more

I'm not growing this, this year, but I'd like to some day, when I have seeds, perhaps. In the meantime, I really like the Santo domingo types .
Here's a link about the Tohono O'odham Yellow-Meated watermelon:

I'm quite impressed with all three Santo Domingo watermelon types, sonfar, this year. They each mature at different times. Santo domingo winter is the smallest. The other two get pretty large for winter watermelons, actually, and grow large for any watermelon type, so far, in my garden.
I've ...read more

This thread is regarding the Santo Domingo Brown Seeded watermelon . For information about all three Santo Domingo watermelon breeds, see this link .
The first fruit on the plant is ripening. It's probably ripe already, but I want to give it another day or so, just in case. The tendril is pre...read more
