This Vegetable Can Feed An Army (And Why You Should Grow It)
This was the first year I tried growing mashua. I've tried one variety so far but I'm intrigued to try more.
I've seen some diverse way of cooking it. I've had it boiled, fried, roasted and raw. Raw it has a liquorice, peppery taste. I've also seen it boiled and mixed into a "batido de mashua" or milkshake as a tonic for the prostate. I've yet to try it.

Tomatoes Outdoors UK Follow These Steps To Increase Success
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 місяці тому
Outdoor tomatoes are the most popular UK summer veg to grow. I know they’re a fruit but you get what I mean. They’re actually quite high effort and that’s why it’s surprising that so many first-time gardeners start off with growing them. There are easier things to try. But do they reward that effort? Some years, yes, others no. This also depends on where in the UK you are based. The biggest pie...

The weather has been so odd this year. Everywhere in the world seems to have the wrong amount of water. Floods or drought and not much in between.

What's done well and what's been a struggle?

      That in itself isn’t evidence that it’s “not good”. What was it as a proportion of the rats diet? Is that a likely proportion of it as part of a human diet? Does it translate to humans in any way? Was the change temporary? Without that information the rat study is only a clue as to where to do further research (or just to be taken with a metaphorical pinch of salt)

      @@ClubberLang-k9k thank you but the soil is not good and trees around also. The tree roots will love the fresh soil and take over the garden. Now I just grow in pots for fun and learning. When I do try to grow a lot I realize it's cheaper and zero work to buy the veggies because everything is cheaper at harvest time. However in Connecticut into New Jersey Pennsylvania ect the soil is better and you can grow 100 pounds of tomatoes for example if you are a beginner. Here you will need to water two gallons for every tomato. I have grown here for 30 years.
