Aspergers officinalis

I'll see your Brussels Sprouts, and raise you Cashews:
Aren't the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn't. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?

wrote last edited by [email protected]They’re called cashew apples. You can find them at asian and latin grocery stores sometimes. Never had one, but i hear they are tasty, they’re hard to transport, though, so you have to be in the right areas to find them.

It's extremely low maintenance once it establishes though which is nice.

I see your brussels sprouts and raise you pineapples:
Fuck. Im in a hot area but not zone 10-12 hot.

I've seen markets sell brussels sprouts on the stalk but I didn't know it had leaves.
I figured the leaves were the brussels sprouts,
Thanks for the info.
First time I saw them I felt like someone was playing a massive prank on me… in a random supermarket, by putting clearly alien veggies in the veggie section

4 years isn't it? I looked into it back in the 90s, decided hell no. LOL, it was suggested to dig a 4' deep trench to plant them.
The greenhouses around me sell matured asparagus roots. Don't have to wait this way.

Well it takes 2 years to grow, but the harvest is in the 3rd year, at least when I've done it. It's a perennial with minimal maintenance aside from weeding & water

Damn. You beat me to it.

They're not great. But you can make decent jam from them.

Uh… you’re welcome?

Maybe a greenhouse would work?

Oh no that’s not even them as babies. That’s like two years in.
This is baby asparagus. It takes forever to develop to actual asperagus stage.
It takes several years, many seasons, much sun and rain for such a magnificent vegetable to grow to maturity and be ripe for the harvest.
Unfortunately it tastes like ass, has the texture of twine and makes your piss stink.
Vile weed.

I raise you brussels sprouts:
And the violet one tastes great:

Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages
Everything's brassica!

On another branch of that family tree, those leaves are kale.
Not even another branch - it's the same exact species, just a different cultivar

Cashew juice is very tasty and it's quite popular here in brazil. It also has medicinal properties for when you have diarrhea.

It's not that crazy honestly. Fruit trees take even longer.

I just need to know if you’ve given properly sautéed asparagus in olive oil and garlic a chance. If you’re basing this on mom’s boiled mush you need to give it a second chance.
Also I personally find it funny when I get to piss stinky piss. Like farts for my dick!
