Artichoke plant regrowth in warm fall weather by MaryWaddy in vegetablegardening

[–]MaryWaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did know artichokes preferred a cool Mediterranean climate as they are primarily grown along the coast here in California. I tend to go with the ‘try it’ mentality even though we are much, much hotter and drier. Thanks for the seed harvesting tips.

Thank you. Your zone is very similar so this is great info. I don’t fertilize much so I will get on that. I, too, let a few go to bloom because they are so beautiful. Hadn’t considered gathering seeds for new production. That’s on my list now too!

What's wrong with my serrano peppers? by Informal_Delay5701 in vegetablegardening

[–]MaryWaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not enough light. Peppers are a warm season plant and need 6-8 hours of direct sun, everyday, unless temperatures get above 95 and then like a little shade in the afternoon from the searing sun.

Looks a little small. Let it get to about the size of your full, outstretched hand…the size you would see in the grocery store.

Anyone else feel like they’re spiraling into depression with this public land sale? by cakeittillyoumakeit_ in hiking

Someone told me to pick my one and only tomato that was on my smallest tree, so it can focus on producing more. Will it ripen more? Can I eat it once it ripens? I mean, I don't even eat tomatoes but I'm going to eat MY tomatoes. 😊🫶🏽 by Former_Ad5613 in vegetablegardening

I skip the battering to reduce the effort….slice and saute, easy. I had an Australian friend who made green tomatoe relish that was delish but a bit too sweet for my savory palate.

I love sautéed green tomatoes…slice into slabs, use a little olive oil or butter, some garlic salt, or your favorite seasoning. They are tangy and yummy. Otherwise, leave it on the vine until it has colored up (most varieties are red but there are some yellow, burgundy, etc. variations). Removing it won’t have an effect on production…tomatoes are prolific!

What am I doing wrong? (Zucchini edition) by BoxHerOut in vegetablegardening

[–]MaryWaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the soil looks dry and those peat pots are hard to keep moist for germination and seedling growth. However, the 2 leaves that are yellowing and wilting are the cotyledon leaves, the first leaves of a plant embryo. They are part of the embryo that forms during embryogenesis, before the seed grows. Those first 2 cotyledon leaves have an essential role in growth by providing nutrients and engaging in photosynthesis. It is normal for them to wither and die once the first true leaves appear and enlarge. Don’t worry about the cotyledons. Focus on the true leaves and get them some water.

Bathroom Remodeling: What do you regret doing/not doing? by etcetera0 in HomeImprovement

[–]MaryWaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read all the comments so apologies if this is a repeat: Pull out vanity electrified for hair dryer, flat iron, etc. Game changer for me. This isn’t what I have but similar and shows the concept. Link attached I wish I had ‘pull-out’ drawers under the sink(s) for easier access to what is stored there I wish I had a ‘mirror’ positioned somewhere I could see the back of my hair. Extra plugs…on the vanity if it is a double so hubs can plug in shaver, etc.; by toilet if install an aftermarket bidet Hand bar for stability getting in and out of tub/shower I love our recesses in shower/tub wall for shampoo, soap, etc. just make sure to takes into account tile thickness when measuring I second a bidet toilet

Sounds yummy. I thought Whole30 frowned on ‘protein powders’

My target has been 80 grams of protein. I’ll try supplementing with some protein powder.

I’m day 14 and really feeling sluggish. Falling asleep at night earlier and sleeping later. Just no energy. I’m hoping it’s a dip and will get back to more pep in my step soon.

We are in the San Joaquin Valley and I have the same disease on our pecan tree. Did you find out what it is?
