>>540243278World Cup wasn't even worth watching this year. Not worth getting upset about.
no thanks
>>540243375You WILL post your favourite crops!
>>540243467for me, it's the peach pit
>>540243618Do you like Plumcots?
>>540243555Modern America.
>>540243766never had them
>>540243984I haven't as well. I haven't had the Ruddy Happiness Durian either but I think the creamy nutty flavour will go well with the minty flavour. Better than the ordinary smelly Durian.
>>540243849The person is Australian
>>540244305i looked it up and you can't hybridize durian and ground cherry, but i like the thought.these are really easy to grow and hard to kill. they make tons of fruit in these little paper lanterns that fall off when they're ready to be eaten. they grow really well in containers too.
>>540245059each fruit also has about 100 seeds in it, so you only need one berry to replant for next year. also good for starting a seed selling business as the yield is insane. you can sell each fruit's seeds for 5-6 dollars in a packet.
>>540243467>Big Black Corn
>>540245054I'm Turano-British. >>540245059>>540245224You can hybridise the various Durian together though, some more easily than others but I think Durio graveolens and Durio dulcis are compatible. I quite like Ground Cherries.
>>540245555Checked!
>>540245586i've never had durian beforewhere i live in canada bbq sauce is an exotic spice, so not a lot of culinary choice for an ex cook such as myself.i screwed up some of my ground cherry plants by putting kitchen scraps in the grow bag along with the soil. this started rotting and made a hostile environment for the roots. i still have loads of plants left but it was a rookie mistake i won't make again.i also like to grow black radish. these used to be the main radish that everyone ate before the small red ones became more common, as they have a much shorter growing cycle. not the greatest pic, but this is my patch from a couple years ago, they all bolted from self seeded plants. they get 5-6 feet tall and make over a hundred little seed pods that look like peas and taste like crispy, juicy radishes. i eat the pods until i'm sick of them and dry the rest for later planting or sprouting. then the ones that don't bolt, or self seed from the bolted ones, keep growing until a hard frost, surviving freezing nights and snow. they make tennis ball sized radishes which are super spicy and pungent, almost like horseradish.
also doing some nicotania rustica. i have two pots with a ton of plants growing in each one. they make a ton of flowers, and apparently you don't even bother picking them off like regular tobacco plants, as they just keep coming back and it's pointless. i only grew a few last year, and a rabbit ate most of them. i got one or two plants dried in the sun, and even with some green on them they smoked really well, the best tasting tobacco i've ever smoked. also gives you a really nice and different feeling from tabacum varieties, as the chemical profile is different. smokeable ahhd meds my man.
>>540246679forgot pic, my bad
>>540246471>>540246679>>540246703No worries, in fact you could graft your Ground Cherries and your Nicotanias since they are in the same family.
>>540247475Humulus lupulus X Cannabis sativa is also a pretty cool hybrid.
And this is the grafted plant, very weird leaves.I wonder what a tea of this would taste like.
>>540250092>>540250334Homp for making Stoner's Beer... Incredibly diverse in uses I bet!
>>540250334You know... Someone has done the unthinkable and cross-pollinated Cannabis with a more obscure species of Wild Hop. Called Jurassic Pot but I prefer Homp. https://trichomeinstitute.com/blog/jurassic-pot/
>>540250918I like Homp, sounds like what /s4s/ would drink... or smoke.I always found it interesting that some beers carry a very distinct 'skunky' aroma. Beck's aroma for example is very easy to mistake for the smell of a lot of hemp strains. I just read that this is due to a terpene named Humulene which both plants can produce. They should have called it Hompulene instead.
>>540246703I love those plants not because of the leaves but the flowers at night smell so good. If the leaves touch your arms/legs they are very sticky.
>>540243618I bought some colorado peaches and they were excellent.
>>540242905I've never ate durian
>>540252616Neither have I but I am looking forward to trying Durio graveolens and Durio dulcis before hybridising them. Either way I won't take the Anti-Autism pills.
>>540245059I'm doing a project with these, I have others started, but I'm making a solanum torvum graft stock with tobacco interlinking nodes and I'm gonna put all kinds on it.
>>540251796kek the flowers are sticky too they get stuck on your fingers when you pick them off>>540253275>>540247475what would be the benefits of doing this? what does the tobacco add? maybe it's just to do something strange and cool?i just looked it up and you're using a rootstock used for eggplant, right?
>>540252898Tastes like onion
>>540253275Actually unironically doing stuff instead of OP who just dreams
>>540253606>what does the tobacco addtobacco produces intracellular enzymes that can help to remodel the site of injuries, which is beneficial here because it is a promiscuous grafter, accepting the vast majority of solanum and capsicum species attempted. Solanum torvum otherwise won't adhere well with peppers or distant solanums. (american continent solanum varieties are all more closely related to each other, while all others are more closely clustered, african and australian solanums are more related to each other than to american ones). This is one for instance from madagascar, it won't graft well without tobacco.> what would be the benefits of doing this? look up eggplant tree grafts. A grafter scion can produce fruit for a decade and becomes a perennial on the rootstock. > you're using a rootstock used for eggplant, right?yes, most of these varieties are edible to some degree, while others are simply interesting, but it's along the lines of this.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_40_Fruit

>>540253998>>540253606these tobacco seedlings, plus some pepinos, tomatoes, Physalis, tamarillos, tomatillos, and african nightshade are already coming up healthy.These need spreading/thinning, I've got a raised bed for some of them, and others go in the greenhouse
>>540253998Just read you can actually buy the seeds online... I'll ask my uncle to procure them!
>>540254050That's awesome. You could probably sell those completed specimens for good money too
>>540254439That's an interesting point, as it is, I've got ~25 healthy tamarillo seedlings with true leaves, and looking around, buying each one would be like $20-$40 online. I got this solanum off etsy, it's been in terrarium trade since 2022 but it's a dark taxa, with no scientific name. I'm investigating turning it into a scion.
>>540254021>>540254050fascinating, thanks!i'm still at the "don't kill them by doing dumb things" stage myself, i always recommend them because they're pretty hard to get wrong. this is only my 3rd or 4th year gardening in containers, and i live in northern ontario where the cold air from hudson's bay gives us short but super hot summers and abrupt changes to winter without much of a spring or a fall. most things freeze while still fruiting. we also get snow in mid-to-late august every year and i have to scramble to cover them up. i keep limping along like this until the snow stays. so i have a very short time to play around and learn anything. everything gets planted at the same time pretty much too. i saw another leafanon in a thread a while back doing kraty in his apartment to great success. i only thought to ask him about his light source the day after i was in the the thread lol. this way i can extend the season over the winter>>540254298i have mine in two pots that are super crowded, not sure if i just want to leave them like that or replant them somewhere else. i hope they all do well for you
>>540254681The long lived ones would be better especially if they're older. People who build new houses want fancy trees and pay for them
>>540254797for sure, I'm gonna keep the tamarillos growing and train/prune them for landscaping, but in this climate they do a lot better with frost protection (western WA). If I can put things straight on the torvum stock they would do a lot better, but my grafting is mostly testing the setup currently, if I get good results I'll try running it as a production line.>>540254726Thanks you too, I have a similar climate maybe a bit warmer overall.
