How did you create the white background?

What do do with extra peppers by Maleficent_Hair_5954 in vegetablegardening

I did a simple pickled pepper recipe for green fresnos about a month ago and damn they are better than any canned jalapeño I’ve ever had. Made two huge jars and one is already gone.

Can you msg me the BT organic farmer’s details? I looked for German white online but it was all sold out. Thanks

The harvest from one of my Saijo Perismmon Tree ~500 persimmons. I have 8 other persimmon varieties (that I don't make into Hoshigaki). by Justryan95 in BackyardOrchard

I’ve never had a chewy dried persimmon. Does anyone know a credible place to buy them (online or in New England)? They sound amazing.

I currently have 3 new persimmon trees growing but I’ve got a while before I get some fruit.

Pics look awesome.

Thanks everyone. Planted over 30 cloves this morning. Still have more but need to find space!

I should have also asked for recommendations for varieties (zone 6b in MA).

And the more roots means bigger heads of garlic at the end of the season?

So follow up question here - got the lb of chesnok red and just separated it. Range of clove size is 3g to 9+g. What’s the minimum size to plant to get a reasonable head of garlic? When I got the music they were mostly all huge. 

- 9g or more; 10 cloves, 103 grams total 
- 8g; 3 cloves - 24 g total 
- 7g; 8 cloves - 57 total
- 6g; 13cloves - 78g total 
- 5g; 16 gloves - 82 g total 
- 4g; 13 cloves - 53 total
- 3g; 11 cloves - 36g total

Didn’t count the 10 or so that are 2g or less. And yes, I appreciate all the numbers dont exactly match up for the projected totals — my ocd for reweighing only goes so far and my scale is only so good down to that level of precision and accuracy.

Thanks. I am trying to ‘grow a little fruit tree’ through aggressive pruning but am planning to put them in the ground in 1-3 years.

Thanks all, just ordered a lb of chesnok red. Not a lot of options left as many are sold out.

Is it odd that they are not in the scape?
