The egg I used to root my mango scion smelled awful after a few days. It was attracting flies, so I pulled out the scions and washed off the rotten egg and stuck them in a live banana tree stump that I chopped for this experiment. I covered the stump with a clear plastic bag and secured it with...
The plants grown from mango seeds take about 5 years to bear fruit, and grafted seedlings with its scion from a mature fruit bearing mango tree will take about 2 years to fruit.
They only grow out the seedlings to find new varieties from random or selective cross pollination.
I am going to...
This guy grew a mango leaf, a mango scion and an unripe mango seed in coca cola and grew it to the fruiting stage. Amazing, makes me want to try. I have never rooted a mango scion before, all my attempts failed.
I am currently trying to root a mango scion in a raw egg. I saw a video of someone...
I think I figured out how to support a hanging Black Giant Winter Melon. I tried forming a net with paracord and hung it sideways, but the cord cut into the flesh.
The next thing I tried worked, I half hitched the stem close to the winter melon and it didn't fall off yet, must be at least 25lbs...
I did a couple of sour dough experiments this morning. I mixed my sour dough in my kitchen aid for 13 minutes, formed it round and placed it in a bowl lined with parchment paper. After an hour I put it in my refrigerator overnight and baked it this morning. It came out the same as with me...
My third attempt at making sour dough bread with my new silicone dough basket made me realize that its worthless. I cooked the bread in the silicone basket as advertised, but the top of the bread had some burnt spots and the bread itself was not something I could give away, it was ugly looking...
For my second attempt at sour dough bread, I baked it in a Japanese clay pot. I think it came out around the same as yesterday's one. Tomorrow, I will bake it in a silicone banneton proofing basket that I just got from amazon, and I will be shooting for the ear razor cut with the new blade I got.
It's been raining lately, so I haven't been checking up on my vegetables. I checked my Kratky buckets this morning and I think a slug ate my lettuce, sweet basil and was starting on my Prism Kale...... :barnie
I am 5 days into making my sour dough starter and instead of throwing out the discard I made a sour dough bread. I used my dough mixer, and I let the dough rest for about an hour. Then I stretched my dough in the bowl 3 times at 30-minute intervals. Then I put it in a glass bowl with a cover and...
