I love to cook, including making a lot of preserves for the winter. This year, I stuck to my plans and am preparing a large supply, including hot peppers. I grew the peppers myself, in my garden, and the harvest was excellent. It so happened that I…volkova12 in # blurtlatam • 13 days ago • 1 min readCrassula BenjaminPlump, rosy-brown pies. Due to its rather mobile growth, it requires maximum sun (light) year-round and sparing watering to maintain plumpness. 😊😊 One head weighs 80 g.

However, the primary hosts are various species of juniper (Cossack, tall, and many others used in ornamental gardening). It is on these hosts that the pathogen overwinters and subsequently migrates to pear trees. After overwintering on juniper, the…volkova12 in # blurtlatam • 29 days ago • 1 min readCrassula emerald.This hybrid has two significant drawbacks: a weak root system and roots that quickly rot from excess moisture. I've never grown this plant myself, but a good friend shared his experience. Ideally, the soil should be peat-free, but pre-sale growing requires some. The key isn't peat; it's better to create well-aerated soil.

I'll write more about it later, but for now, here's a general plan for planting in the open ground. Watermelons are grafted onto lagenaria or a special rootstock.

And adding sugar after fermentation means it's not quite a dry wine. Although everyone says you need sweet grapes for dry wine. Or am I mistaken? Yes, this year my…volkova12 in # blurtlatam • last month • 1 min readMorel Pizza 😋Wash fresh morels, cut them in half, and place them in a frying pan.

The second bloom is now beginning. The first cluster opened today. Currently, the hoika has 24 flower buds. I rooted a freshly cut cutting in 2012. It began blooming in 2014.

I use either perennial compost or soil from alder trees growing in dry riverbeds; it's formed from fallen leaves, loose but not peaty.
