At what height should Peaches & Cream corn start tasseling?
Comments (2)Thank farmer. For some reason I thought corn got to its final height before tasseling. Anyhow, since my first post, some of the corn has gotten up to 5 feet or so and starting to show some nice little ears....See MoreIce Cream Banana grows leaves but not height.
Comments (5)rayandgwen, it's nice to hear that your ice cream grows like weeds. I wish mine could do that too. I can now see that the planting zone does play a big part as the heat and the humidity certainly help in the rapid growth. Fertilizing a few months apart sounds like a good plan. I haven't tasted ice cream, but heard it's one of the best. As in my case, the temp drops down toward the end of the year and that's where my bananas take all the beating. I lost several blooms and mother plants in the cold over the last few years. The funny thing is that some of my bananas chose to bloom toward the year end and when the cold came, they dropped their blooms and died. I heard there's something about the cold that triggers the fruit production. All in all, the dying off and re-establishing pattern down here slows down the fruit production process. mbearbird, it looks to me your plant needs time to warm up to the summer weather. I think your ice cream's doing fine considering your planting zone. Give it plenty of sunshine and lots of water (allowing the top 1-2" of the pot to dry off before watering again). Continue to do what you're doing. If I remember correctly, there was a person from Illinois who got fruit from his ice cream after growing it 3 years in a pot. The year he got fruit was when he planted it in the ground in the summer....See MorePastry Cream plus Whipped Cream?
Comments (3)I wouldn't add whipping cream to lighten up the pastry cream. The filling supports the top layer. The weight of the top layer of the cake will cause the filling to ooze out of cake. This is my favourite recipe for Boston Cream Pie. The filling is delicious. Boston Cream Pie ================ 1/3 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffly. Add the egg and beat until creamy. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add alternately with the combined milk and vanilla. Turn the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round layer cake pan. Bake in a 350� oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool completely; Place the cake on a serving plate and split horizontally into two layers with a serrated knife. Carefully remove the top layer. Fill with the chilled Cream Filling. Replace the top half and pour the warm Chocolate Icing over the top, spreading only to the edges. Chill. (When allowed to stand for several hours, the filling seeps into the cake, making the cake and filling seem almost as one.) Cream Filling 1/2 cup sugar 3 egg yolks 3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups milk Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook over low heat, stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil, stirring for 1 minute. Beat the egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir in about half the thickened sauce. Return to the heat and cook. stirring 2 or 3 minutes longer to take away the flour taste. Remove from the heat and blend in the butter. Strain into a bowl. Cool for a few minutes, then blend in the vanilla. Cover and cool, then chill. Chocolate Icing 2 squares of chocolate 1 cup sifted icing sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoons hot water 1 teaspoon vanilla Melt the chocolate and butter the microwave on medium low power. Stir until smooth, and blend in the icing sugar and hot water. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened (do not beat). Stir in the vanilla. Use immediately....See MoreChantilly Cream, Larger Than Life’s sibling
Comments (13)Straw, I think you will be very happy with Moonlight Romantica. This is its third year in my garden, started as a tiny 3" liner, planted right from the get go, into my rose garden. No protection over winter one and two didn't faze it a bit. Prepare for it to get big...glad I did....trying to grow it as a climber on a 4' chain link fence....it looks like it will oblige me....See Moresusan9santabarbara
