Even last year when my tomatoes did poorly they still taste so much better than supermarket ones. Tbh outside a greenhouse I don’t think they really grow very well in the UK at all but I was given them so decided to try in the garden.
Main things I am growing is rosemary, thyme, sage, chives, mint, garlic and opium. But I kinda want to start guerrilla gardening some fruit bushes. Raspberries would be nice to plant around town.
Well, the one in the stores are real bananas. They aren’t Gros Michel bananas, but that’s because Gros Michel went extinct before I was born (and I’m not exactly young anymore.) We might lose the Cavendish before I die.
Supposedly the “banana flavor” in candy is closer to a Gros Michel than to a Cavendish.
Lemmy tastes like reddit that I have grown in my backyard garden.
An heirloom Reddit, if you will.
Lemmy feels like reddit from 2010, when it was good.
so small and bitter but you just smile through it and say “it’s so good! 😢”?
maybe I don’t know how to grow stuff…
You kind of just tipped your hand at your gardening ability. And also that you’ve never had a real tomato.

I argue mostly everyone here never had a real banana. No, the ones in the stores aren’t the original flavor.

And “real” wild bananas are basically inedible.
Also: Gros Michel bananas have slippery peels. Cavendish do not! That’s where the weird trope with no remaining connection to real life comes from.
Tulips.
Lemmy is tulips.
All the way down.
