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

I grew one of these last year, and it did quite well. Great taste (a favorite, in fact, right after Aji Fulce 1). About as hot as Cayenne (it's not a Habanero). It's prolific, and the earliest C. baccatum I've grown. Easiest to grow, too. Large plant (but leaves aren't large and stems aren't thi...read more

Costa Rican is doing decently, now. Not the earliest pepper, but it is becoming prolific.

I'm impressed with the Chipotle pepper. It's vigorous, prolific and early. I tried a partially red one today and it was extremely sweet. Even the spiciness tasted sweet. It was weird, but great.
The fruits look just like Jalapenos, but they don't taste like them. They taste more like a mildly...read more

Here's today's harvest of Ancho San Luis peppers. They're smaller than I thought Poblanos were supposed to be.

This has been a favorite variety, this year. The fruits are fairly round and meaty (though they can get soft when ripened well). The plant is productive and not enormous. If you want a lot of salad-sized tomatoes in a small space, this would be a good variety. Fruits began ripening fairly early....read more

Here's my regular Mustard Bhutlah plant, today. It has two large fruits, and maybe a few that are just starting to form. The one with anthocyanin has a lot more fruit (and a larger plant, too):

Some hours ago, I opened a Honeycomb F2 melon. It was very sweet (and good), except closer to the rind where it was darker green. It wasn't perfectly round, but unevenly round is the closest description. The rind...read more

We ate two small Ancient watermelons, today. One had red seeds as usual (maybe even brighter red than last year). The other was a cross and had dark seeds. They both tasted awesome, but different.
Last year, I grew two spots with it (perhaps three plants per spot). It got bigger fruit last ye...read more

In 2017, I grew the White Queen tomato, got a few fruits, saved seeds, and yeah. they tasted really good! We didn't use black plastic that year; the fruits had drought conditions.
This year, I grew it from seeds I had saved. We are using black plastic, and we aren't watering much. The perform...read more

In 2015, I grew Healy's Pride with black plastic, and got one large, netted, long, orange-fleshed fruit with great flavor.
This year, I'm growing it from seeds I saved, with black plastic and a cage to support it. It grew at least four large fruits (larger than in 2015). The first one ripened...read more

Chris Ukrainian in my garden has stripes, this year (like Green Zebra's stripes). I ate a ripe fruit, today, and it was very sweet (I think a lot of things are sweet around now; Early Girl F1 is, anyway).

Here are some Thessaloniki tomatoes that I harvested, seeded and ate several hours ago.
The first and largest one tasted quite good and had some of that burned tomato taste to it that Matina had in 2017, but not so much that it was overpowering. the second fruit tasted different, but I liked ...read more
