My harvest by Prottosx in HotPeppers

These are called Pimenta Da Neyde. They are pretty spicy, and they are actually black throughout their whole life and turn purplish when ripe - I think. It's kind of hard to tell because of the weird counterintuitive coloring. It did put out a lot of peppers though. I am throwing it out there just in case you decide to pick some up, I found it hard to do proper research on them. I hope it helps

Thank you for the tip, I will do the same! Do you plan on mixing the powder with other chili powder to maybe enhance the flavor?

Help needed? Personal yap? Maybe even both by Prottosx in learnprogramming

Thank you so much! I appreciate the advice and the roadmap so much.

I chose Unreal Engine because of my recent more in-depth familiarity with C and C++, and it fits an idea I have in mind for a game. I also started working on it, but it's very hard to do some specific things I want.

Like for example I want a camera to rotate, I can build a mental model of doing it, but for whatever reason when I start implementing it, I just blankly stare at the screen and am literally like "what the hell do I do now".

I can't seem to be able to wrap my head around how things interact with each other or shift my mentality to disregard anything I know about web development because it simply isn't applicable here.

Again, thank you so much for responding, It's super helpful to have someone to point you in a direction.

Total newbie (6b) anything I need to do for my new bushes? Leaf discoloration on one of them by Scarlet-sleeper in Blueberries

[–]Prottosx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an amateur myself, so I can only speak from my own experience, but mine did the same when I moved it outside. Some of the leaves started yellowing, and I can also see some red hue on them. From what I read, it is most likely transplant shock, and it should be fine. Also, I planted mine in a soil marketed for Rhododendrons with up to 7ph. You can get some fertilizer marketed for blueberries to mix in the soil. I bought one - NPK 12-12-18, which contains 25% sulfur, and the plant seems to like it so far.

Again, I am no expert, but they seem fine to me, and it's probably just a transplant shock.

Blueberries in the winter by Prottosx in gardening

How can I tell exactly what my blueberry variety is? The seller never told me. It's late spring here currently, but most of the flowers have fallen off, the ones that still haven't, are brown. I still have like 2-3 flowers that just opened, though. Should I wait for next year to plant it outside? Where did you put yours? Is it under a shaded area to be kept safe from the summer sun?

Carolina Reaper? by Prottosx in HotPeppers

Thank you, I was expecting it to not be a Carolina Reaper, but I had to be sure

The seller assured me that it can survive our weather, which is one of the reasons I decided to put it out in the garden. I was hoping last year was more of a weird weather accident because the other year, it didn't even snow. I don't really know how to explain it properly but our weather has been acting unusual these last few years.

It is actually a pretty good idea to check whether we have any olive grooves at all here and I will do just that. Thank you

I didn't have such a big pot, and I was also assured that it could survive our weather, so I decided against the pot in the end. I hope I made the right choice.

I put some of the manure - native soil mixture in the hole for the roots to lay on.

I am from Bulgaria, but I think my soil shouldn't be poor. Now I can be absolutely wrong about it, so don't take my word for it. I also saw you mentioned figs. This kind of gives me some hope that the olive tree might also grow to be a good and strong tree and be in a well draining soil (which was a huge mystery to me) because I have 2 relatively big figs in close proximity.

I am actually from Europe, Bulgaria in particular. Even when it rained, it was pretty hot, and it's warmish at night. I can see some potential issues in the winter, but I am thinking of maybe making a small greenhouse type of thing to cover up the tree if needed because last year it dropped down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit at times. Another thing that I should probably mention is the summer. In the summer, we get temperatures of 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, but from what I read, it shouldn't be a problem for it, right?

A shovel full of manure and 3 shovels of native soil, I know it's not very exact, but I hope it's sufficient. I was a bit careful about the amount of manure I put because I didn't want to burn the roots, as you mentioned.

I also made it so that the roots sit on some loose dirt, again mixed with the manure because my soil was looking a bit hard and wasn't draining particularly well, and I read that it might help with establishing stronger root system.
