What's the name for what I have made?
Comments (8)While it's true that most chilies grown for commercial and traditional paprika are sweet varieties, the spice can range from mild to hot. The reason for this is that the word 'paprika' is simply a borrowed term from the Hungarian word for 'pepper'... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika The confusion comes in because of the common term for 'chili powder blend.' It is the 'blend' that is labeled for sale, and commonly referred to, as 'Chili Powder'. That blend is, of course, the spice base for the popular dish known as Chili Con Carne... or simply: Chili... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_powder Often times, when specific - especially the hot - varieties of chili peppers are ground into a spice, they are known by their types - 'Ground Cayenne' being perhaps the most common example. So, really, since the Hungarian word 'paprika' simply means 'pepper', and their culture really took to using the air dried, ground powder abundantly, it has become the English language cooking world's name for the spice created from grinding dried capsicum annum chili peppers into a powder....See MoreWhat might have made this?

Comments (8)Not sure if you are still looking, but here is what I have in my backyard in Richmond (basically old Katy Plains): 1) Cara Cara Orange - 2) Navel Orange - 3) Dwarf Meyer Lemon - 4) Alberquina Olive: 5) Ruby Red Grapefruit - 6) Clementine Tangerine - 7) 2 Persian Limes: I am struggling with these Persian Limes. The top one I had to move since where I first placed it had too much water. I expect that is the reason it did not bloom this year. The bottom one, I grew that from a seed from a Persian lime my father gave me from his tree. It did bloom this year, but only a single bloom. I hope both will do better next year. I also have a Fuji Apple tree that is struggling as well. I have never had good luck with Apple trees in Texas. I have 3 finger lime trees also growing. One in ground and the other two in pots in different locations. They seem to be doing well. All these trees have been in the ground since 2016. The cold snaps we had in 2017 did do a number on all these trees (major leaf drop, but no damage to trunk or branches), but they bounced back well. Here is a list of others I know grow well in Texas: 1) Loquat Trees - These are great trees that do very well here. They shed a lot so be aware. I even like the tangy fruit. Great to make preserves. 2) Key Limes 3) Figs - Many varieties grow well here 4) Peaches - I grew a Dr. Davis peach tree from seedling to 20 foot producing tree at my old house in less than 8 years! 5) Blackberry bushes. You cannot kill these. I would recommend getting a thornless one though. Now here is the list of Trees or bushes that I have had zero luck with. 1) Avocado Trees - I have planted 3 of these (Bacon and cold hardy Hass)... All have died. Browning occurs every time. I have tried multiple soil locations. No luck. 2) Apple Trees - Again, I have had no luck with apples. My Fuji looks like it is dying and I have tried Dorsett apples as well. I had better luck with the Dorsett but it never really grew much. I did get a couple of harvests, but they were small. Really good though. 3) Blueberry bushes. This disappoints me because these are my son's favorites. I ordered this online and it arrived with ants in it. I tried to clean them out, but I think I shocked it so much that it just died. I do think they can do well here, but I have not had any luck. Upcoming projects: Raised vegetable garden. Adding these trees/Bushes around that garden: Thornless Blackberry bush. Rabiteye Climax Blueberry, Miracle Berry, 2 Dr. Davis Peaches, Fuzzy Kiwi, Star Cherry, and a Santa Rosa Plum....See Moregarden tub in master bath, what are they made of?
Comments (1)I see you have had no answers. It might be that folks on this forum usually just replace these tubs. My answer will bump you back up, maybe someone with experience with this will see it....See Morebeaglesdoitbetter
