I have done memories of black cherry vanilla coke zero from years back, best soda ever.
I had the exact same experience with the elephant garlic, they took forever to sprout, long enough that I actually dug one of them up to check that they hadn't been eaten or something.
Good point, I've edited the description.
I wish his paintings had titles, or at least numbers. So hard to tell people about my favorites of his without already having a link handy.
It might be! That was one of the varieties I planted this year, though the cloves I put in the ground looked like normal shaped cloves, just scaled up a bit.
Ahahaha, I know right? Baklava normally is an occasional treat enjoyed just a couple pieces at a time, and now I have an ENTIRE tray hanging around. I swear I can physically feel my waistline expanding.
First time ever growing radicchio, but I'm 100% keeping it in my garden from here on out, not for eating (actually was not a fan of the flavor), but because it seems to want to bloom eternally. I swear this one plant has been blooming every morning for months now, and I've never seen sweat bees in such numbers, they seem to especially love these blossoms.
Yeah I spotted that smoke plume too, according to Riverside County Fire the fires were reported within 8 minutes of each other. Kinda suspicious, imo.
Saw one house start to catch fire before my husband and I decided we didn't want to stay and watch someone's tragedy. Really hoping that no more are lost, and that all the firefighters stay safe.
That makes sense, he was really undersized compared to the rest.
Yeah... the thought has crossed my mind, even though tomatoes are my absolute favorite thing to grow. If I knew for sure it'd really reduce the population, I could probably convince myself, but how sad would it be to have a tomatoless year just to have the mites back in full force the next. 😕
Hard to judge, as not one of my next door neighbors is interested in gardening, despite my efforts at offering seeds/seedlings/help.
I haven't gotten to really connect with any gardening groups in my area, but the handful of folks I have talked to also have problems with spider mites, though not sure if to quite such a severe degree.
I'm in southern California and I think most houses have gas hookups for driers, often with gas stoves and gas water heaters too.
