~~Habanada~~ Nadapeno peppers - a non-spicy jalapeno. I will get to enjoy jalapeno taste even when cooking for family members who find mayo spicy ;-)

Also the 40+ fruit trees I've planted last week, but I'll have to wait 2-3 years for the first fruit from those.

We'll need another post to know more about those fruit trees as well

The property came with a dozen or so enormous (>6m / 20ft) apple and cherry trees planted about a century ago and all but 3 of them are barely alive, so this spring I've cleared some space and added:

  • 4 peach trees, 2 varietals
  • 4 apricot trees, 2 varietals
  • 2 Japanese plum trees (technically not a plum)
  • 8 cherry trees, 4 varietals
  • 3 plum trees, 2 varietals
  • 10 apple trees, 5 varietals
  • 4 pear trees, 4 varietals
  • 2 pear-shaped quince trees
  • 2 Japanese quince bushes
  • 6 currant bushes, 2 varietals

Assuming most of them survive I'll be set as far as fruit I can grow in my zone are concerned. Well, I could use 2-3 asian/american hybrid persimmons to have a full set, but they are very hard to find and expensive - I'd have to pay more for 2 than I've paid for the 40+ listed above..

Habanadas are non spicy habeneros. The non spicy jalapenos have another name I'm forgetting.

I grew habanadas last year and really didn't like the flavor, which was disappointing since people really love them.

Nadapenos. I have those too - brain fart mixed it up

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are those available in the regular grocery store?

[–] tty5@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's going to be very location dependent - e.g. I can't reliably get regular habaneros even in large grocery stores where I live..
