Positive thread! (Giveaways!)

Took me a few tries. Working right-to-left helped me rethink my assumptions and decode it the way OP expected.

Really? I thought the point of all these idlers was low-resource background relaxing

It's because it's as bad as it seems to be. I made it up while I was writing. Can't expect much quality within that time frame. I'm deeply sorry and I offer my head to the Red Queen.

Curiously, cat-ions don't like going anywhere near cat-odes. I think cat-odes are the catomic equivalent of veterinary clinics.

I knew this one, I love it. 😆

They are strongly tangy like a tart granny smith apple, but more soft flesh, perhaps like a not terribly ripe tomato, but has some of that tomato flavor essence on the back... They should be a bit yellowy when ripe, but are still tasty enough in various shades of green. I've seen some very very dark green ones in stores though, which might be a bit much.

Also nice in salads. For green mexican salsa (verde), they're usually cooked. But...meh. Lazy. Easier to eat fresh. :D

Additionally, "tomatillo" in spanish means literally "little tomato". But, different than cherry tomatoes. There are so many varieties of so many cultivars... Many common fruits (tomato IS a fruit) and vegetables have hundreds of varieties.

I am sprouting more of the sungold tomatoes, which I know have seeds which will make tomatoes. The others I just wanted to see if they'd work, as they were delicious, so why not? (I think one didn't have any seeds at all...! Oops.)

Citrus like oranges, grapefruits and stuff generally don't breed true to seed, if I recall, as they cross pollinate like crazy (like apples), so you're likely to get some hybrid of some sort. Most citrus from stores is on a dwarf root stock (another chunk of citrus plant) that keeps the plant growing smaller (for instance, only 30-40' tall instead of 60') and also reduces chance of root disease or (I think) frost damage. Citrus usually self pollinates, but it can take 5 years for it to fruit, and some really like the right level of sun and stuff. They do make pretty plants even if they don't fruit though. (I have a calamansi citrus grown from seed from a friend that hasn't flowered or fruited in it's 8 years so far.)

I sprout the seeds on my window sill, as well as growing small succulents. And you can sprout those spring onions from the store, that have the small roots on the bottom, once you cut off a chunk of the greens off the top, they'll grow back. They're very cute plants for a window sill.

If you stick a fleshy succulent leaf or chunk of plant on dirt, it will usually make a small plant of it's own. The last leaf I sprouted took 5 years before it outgrew the window sill. :D

Ugh, mealy bugs are the worst. I find I just have to walk by the plants and smush bugs every few days, and that helps. ...when I remember.

We get mildew on our roses. I trim it off, but there's a spray for it I think. It's definitely overtaken some of my plants as well.

Freshly picked tomatoes are the best! My gf has tomato plants on her balcony and the conditions are just perfect there (she doesn't live in Paris lol) and she doesn't get a lot of bugs (could be because she is on the top floor and there are lots of birds on the roof) but she did have to cage the plants because her dog obviously agrees that freshly picked tomatoes are the best thing ever :D

If you can find a riper one, the seeds grow very vigorously! I've found seeds that are flat like paper won't sprout, but ones that are ever so slightly bulging-flat will make sprouts. You need two plants to make fruit, otherwise you get flowers but no tomatillos.

I have trouble finding tomatillo plants here in the middle of California, so I tried saving seeds a few years ago. They're pretty forgiving, in the scheme of learning how to save seed, and sprouting plants, and such. You just scrape all the larger thicker seeds you can find from it as you eat it. :D I stick em on a paper towel to dry. Then just fold the paper towel once it's dry and wait for February or ...maybe later for Paris...?

The leaves and such are pretty, even if you don't end up doing more than sprouting them.

I can grow things in pots but am really bad at tomatoes in pots. Nice!

You get a high five from me! I wish I could do it on my balcony but I have so much sun in the morning, everything I have out there literally burns

Awww now that's a serotonin boost!

It's just DujQN in reverse order ! 🙃

That's often a good thing to do from time to time!

What Yamaraus said, no need for sorries. Not accepted.

You're Welcome

That giveaway has ended.

Just a little thing ^ ^
It's been over two years since I contributed in some way and I thought it wouldn't be bad to create a GA again :)
