Peppapeach stripey
Physalis grisea and wild tomato
Ones they did eat were ají habanero, ají dulce orange and thunder mountain longhorn. The first two are heatless but the last one is 70k SHU.

Former employees at NOAA created a nonprofit independent website for trusted climate information after Musk/Trump dismantled climate.gov.
“The website features Climate.gov's 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data pathways, climate literacy resources, classroom materials, and restored access to the Fifth National Climate Assessment.”

There’s a lot of anti-gardening/GYO discourse online right now. It seems to be a reaction against the no-lawn movement. Their “reasoning” is that gardens use more water than grass.
It all depends on what plants you grow. #NativePlants do not require any more water than typical rainfall.
So here is a comprehensive list of edible native plants to southeast/mid-Atlantic zone 7-9. Let me know if I missed any. 💚
What to do with all the new spring weeds, wildflowers and herbs?
Low effort recipe: leaf fritters. Chop fine and combine with eggs, salt, flour and oil and then fry up like a pancake.
Add any and all additional ingredients you like: garlic/onions, spices, peppers, powdered leaves, mushrooms, nuts, etc.
Chickasaw plum, Prunus angustifolia

In case someone finds it useful, rooted cuttings of baby kiwis (issai) can take ages to finally flower/fruit. I think I planted this 3 years ago and it’s just fruiting now.

Jujube thread 🧵 1/
TL;DR
-thrives in heat, zones 6-9
-tastes like apple
-flowers late, beating unexpected frosts
-can produce in areas with only 400mm (15”) of rainfall
-doesn’t like water-logged soil
-different cultivars for fresh eating, multipurpose or drying
-produces more cross-pollinating with another cultivar
-intercropping increases productivity
-links for more info
Boosting this again bc of #FoodInsecurity #foodsecurity crisis.
All the major commercial staple crops will be more expensive this year. If you live in a warm/hot climate, there is still time to plant sweet potatoes. They are more pest resistant than regular potatoes. And they will grow in the free mulch below.
You can grow sweet potatoes from the ones in the grocery store. Choose organic if possible in case they’ve been sprayed for root inhibitors. #solarpunksunday
Advice please
Rats or squirrels in one night ripped off, ate and vomited out at least 30 peppers. I’m finding separate little piles of puked up peppers in different places.
This is really devastating. My first harvest has been wiped out.
Did they learn their lesson or do I need to cage all my pepper plants?

All the baccatum peppers made it through the winter in the greenhouse where temps dipped to 31F/ -.6C. All the baccatums also have flower buds on them now but this one wins the race for first to bloom: ají chinchi amarillo
None of the chinense peppers that survived are blooming yet so something to keep in mind for convenience and backyard #foodsecurity
