Best Pickled Peppers Ever, Use a simple recipe. This mighty plant is a producer indeed. The only mistake I made was planting 7 of them. I seriously can not keep up. Trimmed them back and they came back 10 fold. Great Flavor, does not disappoint. They will be forever in my garden.
A delicious little melon. Honeydew meets Cantaloupe Zone 7B here
I was hoping, crossing my fingers and Viola We will forever grow this perfect melon! If your a Honeydew/ Cantaloupe person and don’t want to cut the whole giant melon, this is for you. The taste is mellow, refreshing and just nice pop of flavor. I direct sown the seeds, germination rate was pretty good, then they start to take off. The flowers are similar in size to cucumbers, but then you get this amazing little fruit. Be ready because they will take over an area, we grow them up on a cattle panel.
Just received my endamae seeds and wa hoping the qr code would lead to some pointers for successful germination. Doing a Google search I see some people are soaking their seeds for a few hours prior to planting. I have my seeds soaking now. Any insight would be helpful! I'll post my updated rating after germination. Definitely later than usual but hopefully will also be able to plant continuously until it's too cold.
Sprouted in normal time and started growing quickly. Then some animal dug circles around the short stalks and ate the seed and roots off of half the crop. I ordered more seeds, soaked them overnight in water and they sprouted in half the time and are now about 8" shorter then the ones that did not get ate. Thankfully the ones that did not get ate were all grouped together and the news ones are also grouped together. I never in all the 60 years of growing gardens had my corn sprouts ate. Ist set over knee high on the day after the 4th of July. Second set catching up quickly. I will send a pic later.
FULL TRANSPARENCY: This is my first time growing corn.
My cobs are maturing, and I've been hand-pollinating them as silks appear. I started seeds indoors in April (zone 4b), and transplanted them in early May into 10 gallon felt tubs (due to my limited gardening space being a renter in the Twin Cities area).
These dudettes are interplanted with either potatoes, or beans and squash, and doing MARVELOUSLY. In late June they were already close to 8' tall.
I am SO excited to watch them mature, dry, and then grind for some grits and cornmeal this autumn / winter.
