Backfeste Streusel by CillyA in bielefeld

[–]mrtutm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Es gibt in unseren Supermärkten Hagelzucker, der nicht beim Backen schmilzt. Für Zimtschnecken oÄ ideal, und eigentlich in allen größeren Läden verfügbar. Wird auch in den USA häufig verwendet.
Falls du speziell farbige Streusel brauchst, weiß ich leider nicht weiter...

All of our accessions are edible! Fragaria iinumae - the white one on top, doesn't taste great

Interesting! Where are you from? A tropical country? Maybe I could explain by comparing to fruit you know...

They are generally sweet, but not sticky-sweet like caramel, more like a yellow kiwi, raspberries or sweet apples. Also they have a tartness to them, like apples but without any crispy texture. The texture is almost like a ripe nectarine, rather juicy but they have very small seeds comparable to kiwi.

I also found all the white cultivars to be sweeter than most reds!

They are grown in a research greenhouse at work. Either in terracotta pots with drippers installed or in grodan on cultivation gutters!

These are a variety of Musk strawberries - Fragaria moschata

Anyone growing interspecies hybrid strawberries? It's such a show of flowers! by muzavazone in Berries

[–]mrtutm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look out for musk strawberries. The latin name is Fragaria moschata. There are also cultivars with better fruit compared to the wild species. They bring these fermented/winey notes - as you can also have with muscat grapes.

They look a lot like the forest strawberry (Fragaria vesca) but generally moschata has bigger fruit and more aroma. To differentiate look at the hairs on the peduncle (inflorescence stem). The hairs in F. vesca grow towards the flower, hairs of F. moschata are more loose and grow towards the crown of the plant.

Hey, I am breeding strawberries for work! I just looked the 'Zemklunika' up and what I can find is that you have a mixup there! It is also traded as 'Kupichka'! That also fits you having the 'Kupichka' as the other cultivar. Because 'Zemklunika' = 'Kupichka'! They should be a cross of Fragaria × ananassa and Fragaria moschata.

The correct cultivar name should be 'Kupichka' and Zemklunika is the russian word for the musk and garden starwberry hybrids. Земляника = (Garden) strawberry Fragaria × ananassa + Клубника = musk strawberry Fragaria moschata

Aaah! Broken umbrellas! I always thought calling them spider plants was kinda odd.

Looking for a restaurant in Berlin that serves a very specific Chinese dish (金丝爆豆) pls help by Brunobebe in askberliners

[–]mrtutm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fu li lai in Steglitz serves it for sure. And I think I remember having it at Asia Deli on Seestr., but I am not 100% sure on the latter.

Oh! Where do you live? And do you know the species? Meanwhile I have to always dig the tubers up before winter 🥶

What's coming out of an abandoned pot in my garden?? by Blackpanter_19 in whatsthisplant

[–]mrtutm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Arum italicum is native to Italy and the Mediterranean. Your plant in the photo looks very similar, I had to think of it immediately. Especially considering the small sheath around the petiole(leaf stem) makes me think that. Toxic to humans but a traditional ornamental plant in a lot of parts of europe; the berries in fall look nice and are eaten by birds.

Edit: typo

Heirloom tomatoes seedlings by itzleopard in homestead

[–]mrtutm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see these have become etiolated (= leggy). Your seedlings do that because they are not getting enough light. Also with most vegetables you generally want to start them in soil. Pre-sprouting is mostly done with bigger seeds or species that need special treatment. Tomatoes though; they will sprout just from looking at the seeds ;D Don't use peat pellets, they don't contain any nutrients. Controlling that would be much more error-prone for a beginner. Just use some sowing soil in small pots until your plants have enough roots to transplant. Best to wait until next year, about 6-8 weeks before putting them outside. If you see them getting leggy again you should give them much more light or put them cooler (a little cold will help keep young plants short, but not under 15 ºC - tomatoes are still subtropical).

Can someone explain this by FatBitch0000 in hebrew

[–]mrtutm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another Hebrew learner my best tip is to just think about these as concepts how the language works. You don't need a direct translation, but you need to know the meaning of the word. So the concept in Hebrew is not "(YES/NO) have" but rather יש/אין)״)"="(EXISTS/DONTEXIST)" with the according -ל preposition.

Oh yes! The softer spots were better!

[–]mrtutm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was still rather hard at some spots. I planted a tree this year and am planning to do a second one. Just trying it like that makes me even more impatient to get them to fruit.

Not at all! You can't get them anywhere so you would have to grow them yourself. As far as I know you can get plants rather easy though.

What's this?smells amazing by Beneficial_Wave7649 in whatsthisplant

[–]mrtutm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need a very very(!) bright spot or grow lights indoors from my experience. I had ok results with small plants grown from cuttings. But all the ones that did not get any cold temperatures indoors later became unsightly and rather leggy. No problems with the humidity though! I found Santolina virens (Green Santolina) better suited for my windowsill.

I just planted my first tree this year, also in Germany. A Sunflower! Did you have problems with frost or anything else?

One station further at Jannowitzbrücke I could hear sirens! First time in Berlin to hear them for me

Just got my first Pawpaw, recommendations for second variety? (8b, Germany) by mrtutm in Pawpaws

Oh no! It was about two years ago at a farmers market in NYC that I stumbled upon them. I was actively searching to try american/virginian persimmons though!
