Anything the chinese government (not the Chinese people) has touched has been contaminated, much like the cool, delicious milkshake with the cherry on top of the whipped cream and the tiny teaspoon of dog urine mixed in.

I'm in north Florida and planted my Roselle directly in July. They grew to 10' tall and 5'wide. They had so many calyxes that I have dried enough for a year from 9 plants! I found the more you pick, the more you grow but wait until the calyxes are about 2" long. I did try to eat the leaves but really sour. I will forever plant Roselle as the most giving plant ever. The tea is easy - both hot or cold is so tasty. They survived and bloomed until the first frost. The stems I finally cut off before the first frost, dried in a flower vase and I'm still looking at them. Full of seeds but also gorgeous in flower arrangements. Next year I'm going to try a wreath. No bugs, no disease and fruit that is packed with nutritioon and has way more Vitamin C that citrus! Listen to your Dad - don't plant the seeds early! I'd suggest April or May for second summer planting!

Do you guys have your own compost pile at your farm or could you do a video of starting your own on your homestead?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We don't make our own compost. We buy ours from a local cotton gin.

My wife and I both have the enzyme and cannot eat cilantro. About 7% of the US cannot eat it.

Would it have been smarter for me to leave the heat mat under my pepper starts a bit longer. I shut it off when the peppers sprouted but they seem to not be growing. They look ok, but haven't done anything now but sprout their first 2 leaves. Are they too cold?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Doesn't hurt to leave them on there until they get their second set of leaves. That's typically what we like to do, unless we're pressed for space on the heat mat.

[@callikohl7603]

Thank you.

Do you have any of Greg's Tik Tok videos to share? Specifically the tweaking ones

[@michaelmorris1802]

That is a horrible mental image... and it's almost bed time!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You'll have to go to Tik Tok to see those.

Cilantro, smells like stink bugs

How do wax beans compare with others as far as vitamin content goes?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Good question. They are certainly more tender, but not sure about the vitamin content.
