I have two pepper plants in separate 5 gallon containers WITH DRAIN HOLES. How much water do I give them? I'm scared of giving them too much but I fear I've been giving them to little. Do I soak the soil or give them a big glass cup full? (I live in an apartment so I don't have a hose)
Every time I make pickles, people tell me I should sell them. I've thought about canning and making them shelf stable, but I'm not not interested in selling them someday. I make onion, peppers and garlic. I could do more. I enjoy doing this and I'm not afraid of a little extra income. I'm in California so please tell me where I can find requirements for my kitchen and how to get licensing. Thanks!
I've had it for almost two weeks
I love putting hot sauce on my boiled eggs. I've never had pickled eggs and wanted to know if there's a way to get a hot sauce flavor from my brine. Is it possible?
I live in area 9B (I'm pretty sure!)(Northern Central Valley CA) It gets to 116° a couple times in the summer and 30° the coldest in winter (I was originally planning on keeping the pepper plant indoors but was told it likes heat) what are some tips to keep this alive? I was given this and some Vigoro all-purpose soil. Should I use a different soil? What kind of fertilizer/plant food should I use? Do I need a trellis? I assume I do. I want to keep this alive and make my own sauce! I'm so excited! Tips are appreciated!
My grandma gave me these saying they're ripe and I'd love to see how they are pickled! What do I do about the spikey skin? Has anyone pickled these?
I'm doing research online on the plants I have and I'd love some tips from your experience! Yes I am repotting! Any tips would be great!
I was given a little rosemary and basil in a jar and wanted to know when I could move them to soil and how often I should change the water.
I've had some white pearl onions I intended to pickle on my counter for almost a week. Are they still good to pickle? How long do they last?
Now that it's hot it's grown like an inch on some parts.
I'd like to start growing some herbs indoors mostly (and maybe peppers)! I've got some questions.
what are some good starter herbs that are hard to kill? I use dill, thyme, rosemary, parsley and basil in my cooking.
what plants do well in heat? I live in a hot dry area and while my plants are planned to be indoors, if they get too big and run out of space I may need them to be outside. It gets to over 110°f in my area. But I have shade.
what are some good websites/blogs to look at to find care instructions for the plants? I'd like to print out what to do because I kill every plant I touch. I want to try really hard this time!
Any advice would be great! I'm going to go to a few places to find plants soon so I'd love to know what to look for!
I use a few herbs like dill, thyme, basil and rosemary often in my cooking and would like to know what it looks like to grow these indoors. I am also very bad at keeping plants alive. I have heard herbs are very hardy and hard to kill sometimes. At least that's what I've been told. I want to up my cooking game and save a little money. 1) what herbs are good for beginners? 2) where can I find easy to follow care instructions (for idiots)? What blogs, YouTubers, tiktokers ect should I look into? Where should I cross post this to get better help?
Two days after they mailed my first check, my address changed. It's been over a month since it's been mailed out and it still hasn't arrived at my new address. I told IHSS in my county that I moved and changed my address online and filled out a form. I also did a change of address form with the post office. Do I wait a little longer and see if my mail is rerouted to me? I've called IHSS and I've been playing phone tag with them. Idk what to do. I've never moved and started a new job at the same time before.
I pickled some onions, jalapeno and cucumber! I followed random recipes I found online. If anyone has any good recommendations for red onion I'd love that. It's my favorite!
What are your favorite pickling spices? (besides the mixes labeled as pickling) I want to try new things! I loved the red onion I made. If you have a good red onion recipe let me know! Thanks!
