Do any caterpillars make tents in parsley?
Comments (1)I don't know about whatever might be in the picture, but I do know that many of the bugs you listed (stink bugs, wasps, ants, etc) will eat caterpillars. What I usually do is search for the eggs and put them in a container to hatch and raise. This also prevents them from being parasitized. The eggs are small spheres - yellow to yellow/green in appearance. I usually find them on the tip of leaf. Once you train your eye to look for the eggs it becomes fairly to easy to spot. Good luck! ~Laura...See MoreMango's, - a glut or famine ahead ?
Comments (11)Glad to hear that for most of you with a few trees in your backyards, it's just another season, - am enthused no end ! I've also heard that the MangoMania festival on Pine Island will still occur despite a severe shortage of fruits for sale, good for them. echobelly : I've heard of that happening before in various places,..but every five ( 5 ) years ? YIKES ! I remember my 1st visit to the Philippines and discovering that all the mango trees there fruited every other year. Sure glad that's not the case here ! lol puglvr1 : Your tenacity is to be admired, if we struggle this far south, can only imagine what youse guys have to face. Jane : Yes I sprayed copper sulfate on all my trees ( including the three 3' - 6' babies with no fruit ),..actually sprayed THREE times !!! But as I said, my trees are doing fine, - it's just that the dozens of other mature trees in this area of SW Florida, ( some to 40 ' - 50 ' ). that I've surveyed are barren, - no mango's to be seen ! A first observation for me in the 10 years I've lived here,..feel so thankful that in the middle of this local mango famine, I have 2 trees having their best fruiting year ever ! Thanks, appreciate all the valuable input....See Morehow do I preserve flat leaved parsley?
Comments (8)buyorsell, I've had very good luck freezing parsley. I chop off the stems and just pack the bunch o' leaves into a Ziplock bag, squishing out all the air. When I need some, I can cut what I want off the now-frozen "block" of parsley leaves easily. Now I have my fancy Foodsaver, I save it in smaller packages vacuum sealed and it doesn't even get ice crystals on it. But before I had a Foodsaver, I never really found parsley problematic. Its taste was still very good when used from frozen. Of course, the texture suffers. You wouldn't want to make thawed parley the centre of a tabbouleh salad. But for anything cooked, or in small quanitites for flavour in raw things, it works great. I also use dill and oregano this way. I have NOT had much luck with cilantro or basil, alas, which tend to go black and slimy.... Z...See MoreA Glut of Green Peppers
Comments (4)As Ken mentions - toast them over a flame until black, peel, deseed and cut into pieces. I use those very small canning jars - quarter pints that aren't much use for jams, add some salt, citric acid and water and freeze. The store prices for canned green peppers is outrageous. They are nice for Mexican dishes - and it's nice to be able to have some on hand. You might think about planting the Anaheims next year. They taste a lot like Bell's, but are long not blocky. They do seem to turn red easier, and are great for drying and making enchilada sauce. They can also be parboiled, stuffed with cheese and added to an omelet, great breakfast treat! I'll bet a little of Annie's salsa would be heavenly along side. Just my 2 c's. Bejay...See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago
