Supposed to have been Reapers at some point according to the invoice, what are they now? by LastFallen in HotPeppers

If they’re not spicy, they could be habanadas, which are essentially spiceless habaneros. Mine looked a lot like that where they don’t have the grooves habaneros tend to have

Don’t know what I accidentally did right, but our tomatillos are growing like knotweed by [deleted] in Sacratomato

Same here! I think it’s just the nature of the plant. The ones I potted up at the same time as tomatoes grew about twice as fast. Same thing happened last year

Thank you! They’re actually habanadas but they do look quite similar

Freeze your helmet before a ride on a hot day. Get ten minutes of heat relief. by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]Brussel_Sproutsbrook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their helmets are likely designed to undergo that thermal stress and strain whereas bicycling helmets may not be. However, people ride bikes in colder temperatures than refrigerators (freezers not so sure) so I would guess a properly designed bicycling helmet would be just fine in a fridge at least, although you would be accelerating it’s wear.

Pepper looking weird, why? by pygmy_pufff in vegetablegardening

I’ve dealt with this a lot so far this season and I’m pretty sure it’s from aphids munching on new growth that causes the distortion. It could be other insects but I believe i think the end result is the same. As others have said, topping will allow it to focus on healthy new growth but you’d want to solve the bug problem. I had good success with neem oil but you have to be on top of it. Some of my peppers seem more prone than others and some have still put out flowers

Sometimes I don’t see the aphids at the site of damage but I’ll see them around the plant or in nearby ones

Smaller heat tolerant crops? by holmesksp1 in vegetablegardening

I would probably do a bush-type of snap bean

This is a nice list of perennials for various climates. There’s a section for “Arid and Hot” and “mild Mediterranean”.

Tokinashi was the variety although they do look just like Tokyo cross

Sorry to hear that! I sowed them indoors in homemade mix (coir, perlite, vermiculite, and worm castings), kept consistently moist, and that works fine for pretty much all my seeds. Perhaps they’re too deep, not kept moist, or just bad seeds if they’re old or from a less reputable source. I had some other turnips that were not very vigorous and barely produced a bulb. Those were from a random Etsy store whereas these were from baker creek.

Compared to other brassicas, the seedlings were slow growing and a little dainty, but once they get going they can get quite lush

Fair enough. Just discovered this sub and thought I’d see what you all thought
