Solanaceae are awesome. The fact that half of them will fuck you up is purely coincidental.
Definitely one of humankind’s most utilized and important plant families.
If growing only cool plants is insecure then I want to be the most insecure man on earth. Except for weed, that’s just ugly looking grass.
I grow native plants and vegetables 🤷♂️
I got a plant from my father that he found years ago when we moved to a flat. It was in the corner of the bathroom on top of a shelf. It wash shriveled up and completely brown. That kind of fall leaf brown. Mind you, this plant was discovered easily 4 years after we moved in, so it had not gotten water for at least 4 years.
Crazy thing is, that plant was apparently still alive. We do not know how, but it did not die. Maybe it was feeding of the steam from the shower.
It is now part of our family and has had many cuttings made from it.
It’s a crazy plant, it just does not die. I once overwatered it to the point that it’s 15 liter pot was filled to the top of the dirt with water and only when I noticed a “puddle” did I act on it. We have one that is literally just in a jug with water. We also had one where the dirt was full of mold, but that plant was just fine.
I researched that little guy and apparently it’s some kind of Syngonium.
I love hot peppers :3
…fuckin’ pussy?
Sorry, I don’t understand the rules, do we hate peppers now?
Not sure don’t care, I dont consume spicy food because I think it makes me strong I eat spicy food because it makes me feel and id rather not develop a drug addiction :3
peppies 😍
I have a spekboom and an impala lily.
Wtf lol? This is completely made up
What a bullshit.
Cacti and carnivorous plants are super cool tho??? Especially that you get cacti cuz of how resilient they are, a great first plant, can recommend. And growing your own food/spices as well? Also Ive never seen that stereotype lmao
Yeah it’s kinda weird. As if anyone is growing weed because it’s manly and not because it’s awesome
This bait is objectively hilarious in how BS it is.
I grow a lot of those manly plants lol
Fellas, is it gay to participate in agrigulture?
Its confirmed, every farmer secretly has a boywife
Fellas, it’s it okay to have a boywife?
locked in chastity with a remote butt vibrator ringing off the hook while he picks up your order at home depot?
Is that an option!?
i have so much to tell you
As long as you say “no homo”.
And remember to wear socks
Plowing them fields is hard work.
according to dross’s comics yes
Learned a new thing men are insecure about.
Hashtag NotAllMen
u sure?
Trichocereus bridgesii, monstrose form. Called penis cactus or toothpick cactus depending on spines. T. bridgesii contains higher levels of alkaloids, including mescaline, than the more commonly used T. Pachnoi “San Pedro”. The monstrose form is said to be particularly potent, although it is slower growing.
I must show this cactus who is the bigger man
Nice, when is your wife’s boyfriend visiting next?
The cactus is here with us now ;)
If you read the other comments you’ll find that most people here have no gendered notion of gardening. This might be a small thing, it doesn’t seem like a common thing
That’s fine, I’m making a joke about how men are neurotic about things I would never consider. That it is believable that a number of men find planting jalapenos borderline feminine is what is funny.
I wanted a house so I could grow the first three.
Am currently stuck in in law’s house, with collapsing job market after being denied a mortgage for being too fat 3 months before the job market collapsed.
Denied a mortgage for being too fat…?
Yep. Based on age and mortgage length, and beurocracy they said I had to take out a life insurance policy which got denied due to health factors.
I believe it. My credit score had a knock against it because, and I quote: “Months since oldest auto trade opened”.
I guess cyclists who outright own two cars (An old hatchback and an old truck) are a credit risk.
Sorry for the legalized discrimination you faced, that feels a lot more egregious than mine.
My dad’s credit score plummeted after he paid off the house 🤷♂️
CICO score was too low
You know the biological system is too complex for simple physics based memes to be plausible
- Those who try to win by increasing CO find they eat more
- Those who try to win by reducing CI find they become less active
- Those who try to win by restricting carbohydrates in and increasing fat in, find they lose weight and become more active
You can grow hot peppers and not be fragile as well. I hope.
I grew jalapenos and no joke, they were too hot for me. Way hotter than store bought.
Did you wait for them to turn red? I did and they were crazy hot even after removing all the seeds.
Half of them I did wait, yeah. Plus they were indoor hydroponic grown (People think I’m growing weed in that room but really I grow everything except weed), so I presume supercharged.
Jalapenos have become victims of their own success.
They’re so popular and mainstream now that buyers (especially food processors) have started demanding high levels of consistency in terms of spice; Tostitos and the like want to ensure that every batch of salsa and such they mass produce is going to have the same spice level, which is understandable. Unfortunately this drive for increased consistency has led to an overall weakening of flavor, similar to what happened to produce like tomatoes and apples once industrialized farming and food processing created demands for longer shelf lives, consistency in appearance, etc., and like tomatoes and apples, the jalapenos you buy at most stores nowadays are going to be much weaker in flavor than they were in the past.
Jalapenos not sourced from these industrial-oriented seed companies are going to vary much more in terms of spice level based on growing conditions, like temperature and rainfall. There even exists nowadays the “nadapeno,” which has jalapeno flavor but minimal spice. You can also remove the seeds and veins of the pepper before eating it, which makes a huge difference in reducing spice levels. Picking them earlier and growing them in “ideal” conditions for lessened spice is trickier, but can also help.
