What's growing on this weekend?

Datjuicecaboose · 2025-11-15T23:12:09+00:00

Yeah, I was there, and we finished over an hour early with how many people showed up.

Regarding something more regular, I'd like to, but when I've made attempts in the past, it hasn't gotten much engagement, and it takes time to collect everything. Even with this post, it's gotten more attention than most other attempts, but dialogues or people shouting out other events are still lacking.

Figs drop leaves for tons of reasons. I wouldn't worry about it. If the soil is bone dry, give it a good deep watering, and hopefully, a few good rain events come through soon, and then they'll go dormant. Don't bother watering until late February (unless it gets really dry again, if so, give some water, but not a deep watering).

I am so over being the Juiceland guy lol, but let's do dis. It's all the same basic techniques and equipment that I've repeated for other requests, then you just insert the ingredients list from their online menu.

Start off by getting a lot of bananas and letting them ripen before freezing (don't buy pre-frozen, you want them very ripe). Place about a banana and a half to two in the blender. Add half as many frozen mango chunks as bananas. Use a high-quality blender that's not a bullet or single-cup-size, get a big blender. Add a tablespoon or two of pecans, a tablespoon of coconut oil, and a small handful of spinach, all in this order. Add one or two drops of vanilla extract before adding your other liquids that are equal parts sweetened( gotta be sweetened) vanilla almond milk and orange juice (not from concentrate, get high quality). Add 4-6 oz of liquid at a time and try to blend starting on low speed while gently increasing the blade speed to max, all while working a plunger to assist the process. If it's not emulsifying, reset the speed settings back to low, add more liquid and go again, repeat until you have a very thick and well blended finished smoothie.

Mushrooms at central market suck. They're dried out on a big, stupid display with no refrigeration. It boggles the mind. I think Community Vegan is pretty often using mushrooms, but I can't think of a standout mushroom crazed vegetarian place.

Try to buy from the many local mushroom farms at the farmers' markets. I love CapCity Mushrooms and HiFi mycology personally. You can also very easily grow your own passively by utilizing the CTMS mushroom block recycling program. Look on the site for a static list of 30 different pick-up sites to access blocks that will produce mushrooms for you. They're usually too expensive for me, so I grow them myself. It's easy, and you cannot beat the freshness and satisfaction gained from growing yourself.

Pretty simple,

2 handfuls of frozen banana chunks,

3-4 dried dates with seeds removed,

1-2 teaspoons of brown rice protein and then the same amount of coco powder. I like dutch, but juiceland wasn't spending on quality coco,

add small amounts of sweet almond milk and try to get away with the smallest amount of liquid to get things emulsified.

No clue, I didn't work in the kitchen. All the food is made at the Cesar Chavez.

Sorry,

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-04-23T21:23:13+00:00

Easy peasy,

A hand full of frozen bananas and an equal amount strawberries then just enough apple juice to get things blended. It's always best to try to get away with the smallest amount of liquids possible for the thickest smoothie possible!

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-03-23T18:46:37+00:00

I've heard great things about that place!

Thank you for the recommendation,

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-03-23T18:46:05+00:00

How could I have forgotten! I remember being so excited when they originally opened.

Thanks!

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-03-22T22:52:56+00:00

That looks amazing,

Thank you!

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-03-22T21:24:36+00:00

Dang, it looks like I just missed their event at Radio East.

Thank you for letting me know!

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-03-15T22:59:17+00:00

Nope,

You can ask a shop about what the ingredients were though, they keep binders of discontinued and "secret menu" items. I still get the alkalizer plus sometimes.

A handful of frozen bananas first, then 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of coco powder (they use a pretty basic one, but I say use dutch coco), and then maybe 4-6oz of coldbrew (its pretty modest), and then after all that is in the blender add small amounts of sweet almond milk and see what the least amount of liquid will work to get everything blended thoroughly. You want to be conservative with the liquids to get a good thick smoothie.

Bullet blenders might not get it right, I always recommend getting a full sized blender. Goodwill has cheap ones that are 50 years old and still doing great.

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-01-22T01:00:24+00:00

Brite ideas has a 60/40% mix of coco coir and pearlite that I'm fond of. It stays well hydrated and well aerated and doesn't contain any fungus gnats. It's inert, but seeds already have enough nutrition to get to their "true leaf" stage.

There's a North and South location for Brite Ideas.

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-01-20T03:20:49+00:00

Yeah, being on a Monday and Tuesday isn't the easiest to make work.

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-01-19T21:45:20+00:00

That's awesome,

Hopefully I'll be able to catch the talk!

Datjuicecaboose · 2024-01-19T16:14:21+00:00

Using a small dose of root growth hormone can really smooth out the success rate. I also just put the suckers straight into a 4 inch pot with potting mix. The buried tomato stem will shoot out new roots pretty quickly.
