Heritage carrots taste so good
There is a myth, that the originally violet carrots are now orange, because the Dutch made them this way to honor the founder of their monarchy William of Orange. The truth is probably more complicated, though orange carrots did spread and become popular from this place and at that time.
My mom said orange carrot was actually rare and black carrot was the mainstream one
Red onions taste nothing like white onions though, they're a wholly different animal, at least for me
But these are plants
I expected someone to comment this sooner
The purple cauliflower tastes like cotton candy.
When did the term switch from color palette to colorway?
It's a term sneaker collectors use
one time a family member was visiting and he kept reacting with surprise at red jalapenos from my plants, like he didn't even countenance their existence and could only conceive of green jalapenos
he was a retired career landscaper, thrown off by red peppers
But red jalapenos aren't a varietal. Jalapenos turn red when they ripen. Green jalapenos are just under ripe. This is much like the colors of bell peppers.
That's the point of the anecdote
Ok cool. I was confused
That’s bananas. Speaking of which, bananas also can be red or blue.
you should blow his mind with some of those peppers that straight up look like multicolored christmas lights
Holy fuck, them are some nice peppy bois.
I've planted peppers like that a few times and never got the seeds to grow, too fancy for my ass
I've never grown this specific kind but I have grown a purple variety before, I forget if they ripened to red though
I always say peppers are gardening on easy mode but the fancy ones have always eluded me
I'm a bad gardener though, I bought a bag of 13-13-13 from the feed store and I drop that fertilizer napalm on everything. That and some bone meal are the only tools in my arsenal.
I do ok with the smaller/hot peppers but anything that's supposed to get large never reaches it's full potential, like the poblanos I tried never got bigger than a jalapeno.
No kidding? That's interesting, are you planting in the ground or in pots?
In ground, I generally just wing it the first time I try to grow certain plants and only really get into reading/watching stuff about them if I'm struggling with it. I maybe over watered as I'd just soak them while going over other plants that need a lot more like tomatoes/cucumbers.
Ah yeah it might be over watering, peppers really benefit from getting dry feet regularly
once they're an actual plant yeah they're super easy, but getting the fucking seeds to grow is always tricky
I probably don't say enough nice stuff to my baggies full of wet seeds, that's on me
