Take my updoot and stay ┬──┬ ¯\_(ツ)
Harmful? Probably not but I wouldn’t eat them. What they are is an indicator of the mix being wetter than peppers generally appreciate, in my experience. I’ve spread winecap mushrooms throughout our space and they’ll come up around some of the veg, but not around the peppers, which (ime) are happiest with damp-ish but not wet soil
Fungus gnats are extra annoying but something you can do in addition to watering a little less is to have some clean sand as a mulch over your potting mix paired with bottom watering your plants. I check my pots by feel on the bottom regularly to help inform when I water. For our inside plants and seeds I’m starting, I have a tray with ridges into which I can place the pots and some water. Seedling trays are widely available and a local greenhouse or nursery may have some headed for recycling rather than having to buy new plastic. If that same place does claim and mulches in bulk they may have sand that’s suitable for short money since you only need a little bit.
By watering from the bottom, your potting mix will wick the water upwards through capillary action but the water will have difficulty moving into the sand because of the difference in texture and porosity and this will deprive the fungus gnats of the habitat they need to reproduce and continue to annoy you.
Moths are just way more bitchin’ than butterflies.
Ehh, they serve customers in the suburbs and city dwellers hoping to recapture a sense of not-being-in-the-city too. Us rural folks have dozens of places to go and pick up hay and shave and feed instead, so just like every other time some corp has done the right thing and then backtracked, they’ve lost the group that got all hurt about being included in a bigger tent, they’ve lost the group that was newly included, and they’re left holding a presumably smaller portion of the market than before they failed to hold to their convictions. Make stupid moves, win stupid prizes.
We get asked by one of our nearby tractor supplies to participate in their market days during the summer, along with several other small businesses around us. I can think of several, besides us, that will tell them to pound sand and won’t lend our credibility to their outreach programs - especially if that outreach is only for the benefit of some of our neighbors.
Eff that ish
Certainly not the U.S. citizens
Hey great job! I know some folks who struggle to get roses half as beautiful as what you’ve grown! I’m sure those others will catch up in their own time
Best of luck! My beans tend to run roughshod over their companions.
You’re crushing it! Hearing how happy this garden is making you just fills my heart, and these photos make my mouth water
Delish! I pulled about two pounds of scapes yesterday for making pesto
Here’s hoping you get the right amount and timing of rain so your plants can be happy!
Doooo iiiiit.
I don’t tend to wilt the flowers in the sun, I pick fresh and dry almost immediately about halfway through the morning.
You might only get green onions off of it at this point, but burying it like you asked will certainly get you more, and more nutritious ones. I vote yes!
! Yummy pawful you’ve got there
I hope you’re hydrating yourself as devotedly as you are your plants!
Always a good trait in my book as well! The one in the post picture has a fuzzy stem, no thorns.
I am really loving the rough edges and gradients on those petals, wow!
Holy wow, another Köppen enthusiast in the wild! The rest of this comment is great too
