so small and bitter but you just smile through it and say "it's so good! ๐ข"?
maybe I don't know how to grow stuff...
You kind of just tipped your hand at your gardening ability. And also that you've never had a real tomato.
you are correct, I have been known to somehow kill a cactus or two.
Spider plants are going insane though, dispute losing >50% of them to the cold and rain this winter they are still living just fine. They're like the plant version of cockroaches
Good to know, I decidedly do NOT have a green thumb either
Even last year when my tomatoes did poorly they still taste so much better than supermarket ones. Tbh outside a greenhouse I don't think they really grow very well in the UK at all but I was given them so decided to try in the garden.
Main things I am growing is rosemary, thyme, sage, chives, mint, garlic and opium. But I kinda want to start guerrilla gardening some fruit bushes. Raspberries would be nice to plant around town.
I argue mostly everyone here never had a real banana. No, the ones in the stores aren't the original flavor.
Well, the one in the stores are real bananas. They aren't Gros Michel bananas, but that's because Gros Michel went extinct before I was born (and I'm not exactly young anymore.) We might lose the Cavendish before I die.
Supposedly the "banana flavor" in candy is closer to a Gros Michel than to a Cavendish.
Also: Gros Michel bananas have slippery peels. Cavendish do not! That's where the weird trope with no remaining connection to real life comes from.
Woah. I was today years old when I learned the slippery banana trope comes from an extinct banana.
Stuff you learn from old cartoons, right? Like how shaking salt on a bird's tail will prevent it from flying away. Where'd that go? Seems like I saw it a lot in cartoons when I was a kid, but haven't heard this trope in 40 years.
Wait Jon Bois did some research on this recently: https://youtube.com/watch?v=p8W5GCnqT_M and slips have happened since the Gros Michel went extinct.
So, your comment isn't the whole story.
And "real" wild bananas are basically inedible.
Tulips.
Lemmy is tulips.
All the way down.
