Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Long sleeve spf work shirts
« on: May 01, 2021, 09:13:25 PM »
I have Columbia PFF long sleeve polyester shirts, which are rated UPF50+.  I quite like them. 

Too much sun is dangerous, but daily unprotected sun is healthy for the Vitamin D.  Timed exposure depend upon your complexion & weather.  Also, facial skin is easily damaged, so wearing a hot or sunblock will prevent wrinkles

I have Suebelle White Sapote.  It tastes like lemon custard/pudding, in my opinion

Toona Sinensis - supposedly has a umami flavor that tastes like beef & onions (I bought a few small seedlings.  Haven't tried them,, yet)

Enjoyed the video.  Especially when hearing about the Mekong mango. 
I bought mango scions from Alex last Summer.  They were quite healthy and well packaged.

Dragonfruit vines are very heavy.  I don't think that would work

Do you have plants/seeds for sale?

No need to show if this topic has been mentioned before but I did not see it in a quick search but I think it would be a significant green leafy food addition to our diet.

Sweet potato leaves were picked by my wife from some sweet potato bulbs lightly covered with soil and watered for 2 weeks and there are a lot of leaves to eat.

I was surprised that they actually have a sweetness IMO when even eaten raw. Much better eaten raw than things like moringa or dollar weed IMO... Give them a try for your veggies as very easy to grow almost anywhere...

Now my wife also uses moringa leaves in many toppings to various dinners and I consider it more acrid and vinegar tasting & to be complemented with vinegar for a nice tartness on fish etc.

I am looking forward to the new sweet additional taste when she cooks.

I dry moringa leaves, then crush into powder.  It's good to store, and it takes away the horseradish bite.  Are yam leaves also good to eat?

Around July

It's only about 6 ¹/² ft tall.  The pseudostem is a bit small in diameter, and will need staking

What about alpacas or llamas?

Starting in October, I spray with neem oil (about 1 tbs w/ 1 tbs liquid soap in a 32 oz spray bottle of water) weekly.  I have 2 sample bottles of Dr. Zymes Eliminator, and have been using that with the same regimen.

Yes.  I'm unsure about restrictions to Belgium

125
Which variety did you get?
