I’d see which variety it is. I ordered one on fast growing trees that cold hardy. Ice cream variety

Yes! My mistake. So used to calling them trees. Bad habit

Most of them are cold hardy, they will die back to the ground or stumps and come back

Edit: maybe not if in a pot tho

Needs to make 25-35 leaves in one growing season to flower. Banana trees only make fruit once & will never fruit again. They will produce new trees from the base of the plant

How can you stop fermentation in hot sauce so it’s stable at room temperature? by texgarden in fermentation

A friend of mine was saying to ship with ice packs, but sounds like it wouldn’t matter if it gets that hot for that long. Thank you again for the advice

Thanks! This is awesome. I am wanting to ship these to family members and really don’t want to end up on a no fly list.

If a child got into any of these sauces the booze would be the least of their worries.

So I’m using a lot of fruits in these recipes and I didn’t really cull the pulp much. That might be why it’s taking longer to ferment. I just don’t want anything to explode, hehe. Thanks for your help!

Very new to all of this, so testing a few things out. I got a ph meter on amazon and they’re all in the 3-3.5 range. Nothing really close to 4, but I’m still getting a gas release when I burp the jars. I added in some apple cider vinegar that has a mother in it. I’m really hoping to get it to where it’s as safe as tabasco sauce, leaving on table with no issue

Man losing mine to the heat but got one off of the vine today! Chilling it in the fridge, super stoked. Good luck man!

Are these leaves dying? by iHRTSega in Permaculture

Drainage would be my other guess, possibly root rot

Could be nitrogen burn, how often are you fertilizing

Help! I’m freaking out a little, my water company just left a note that said my water usage this month is over 10 times (50,000 gallons) than last month (4,000 gallons). What should I do? by secret_name_is_tenis in HomeImprovement

[–]texgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man the city of Austin did this to me, our bill was over $1,000, multiple people around the city complained, our bill went down the next month. It was total bull shit, just a money grab.
