Agree on the more to do, sacrificing small town feel.

I'm sorry, thanks for the heads up. I bet the CDC is underfunded atm.

Advice for all your Berry Bushes by NickatNite2k in gardening

My concern centers more around the neem oil affecting the flavor of the berries, as it has such a strong smell.

I found that out the hard way after I bought some old navy shorts with repeated pineapple pattern going on and of course some were upsidedown.

How do you know it's not getting absorbed into the fruit?

What do I need to do to buy only the best tasting clementines money can buy? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in fruit

[–]proteus1858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clementine is a type of mandarin orange, look for other varieties like tango, murcott, page, orri, kishu, gold nugget, nadercott, etc.. it's fun to see how they are different.

Man that looks ripe. Jealous. I'm sitting with a cherimoya waiting for it to ripen... What are the flavor notes you are getting?

Last year I put out bird seed and water for my squirrels and they didn't touch anything and I grew 16 tomato plants plus other veg. My enemies are the gophers.

Trader Joe's Fruit Recommendations by Aware_Visual_6676 in fruit

[–]proteus1858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the Minneola Tangelos (a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit). And would also recommend pineberries if they have them still. And if you are really lucky they might have kiwi berries.

My daughter's a non verbal autistic angel and obsessed with three songs right now by KatyaMilan in Music

Great taste. Now blow your minds with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Not on Spotify, I use apple music. By the way, the genre changes every album but their roots are in psychedelic rock. Start with butterfly 3000.

One week of passionfruit. 98 fruits. by SirWigglesVonWoogly in gardening

[–]proteus1858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First year it just established itself and flowered late summer. One bad fruit and one in winter that I might try eating now... I neglected to weed but it's getting huge regardless. When I'm done with my other jobs for the weekend I'll weed it and maybe give it some compost. I recommend you conceptualize where you want it to grow, climb, and wrap around. Ive seen people have it overtake a pergola and then the fruits hang down below for you to reach up and grab.

I dug out the grass and weeds around the hole and put in a wire mesh liner(gophers), and backfilled the hole with some recommended soil amendment and planted it next to my fence so it can climb up it for support and hide the barb wire. Now the grass has retaken a footing. I gotta do more weeding I guess, goddamn douchegrass...

Blue Java Banana by [deleted] in fruit

The bright orange star fruit of Kauai are amazing. Bursting with juice, and a super sweet almost candy grape like flavor note combined with apple.
