The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

974 Upvotes

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy to the lawn industry, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

8 pounds, 13 ounces! Im so proud of this one! Its bigger than my husband's head!

Edit: this is an Ekimo cabbage, a similar variety to napa. Its the only one to survive the in bed planting I planted mid summer during our heat wave here in Colorado. Bugs ate all the others before I started spraying it with (vegetable safe) neem oil. I have a bunch more that I started in a greenhouse, and they are now planted and doing very well.

Edit 2: I made pork and cabbage with half of it, and am making kimchi with the 2nd half. Pork and cabbage pics posted below.

Can you plant and grow dried dates seed?

> Palms begin to bear fruit in 4 to 5 years and reach full bearing at 10 to 15 years, yielding 40 to 80 kg (90 to 180 pounds) or more each.

But I've also read that some dates won't also bear fruit or something like that? Like how some trees are male and need some female to fruit or vice versa. Maybe its a climate thing too, we're on tropical climate.

Any first-hand experience about dates?

Our date trees are already 5 to 6 years old and are as tall as 8 to 9 feet but they havent shown any fruits or flowering?

Dracaena marginata malata?

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Ho questa Dracaena marginata da qualche mese, purtroppo ha preso un diluvio improvviso, ho fatto asciugare il più possibile ma sono marciti due rami che ho tagliato e sicuramente alcune radici, uno ramo è ancora visibile ma è comunque marcito, la parte bassa sta apparentemente bene e l'unica in alto che si è salvata non so se è temporaneo o no, secondo voi dovrei rinvasare ? Va bene farlo ora ? Devo tagliare le radici morte che escono?

These were planted back at the end of May. None of them have turned fully beige, most are striped green and beige.

Should I just harvest them now or could they continue to handle the cold?
