my druid maincrop was planted in may, has now flowered and looks as though they are going to seed, do i need to harvset them now or will they stay edible, i read they are not supposed to mature until sept.
Do i have to harvest my potatoes now ?
Different varieties mature at different times.
Also it depends if you want 'new' spuds or maincrop . For 'new' harvest when the flowers appear. For a storing crop leave in the soil until the stems are brown and withered. Also you can harvest anytime in between as you need them.
The little tomato things make no difference, it only means that the tubers are big enough to support them.
Blight can kill off the foliage early, so if you want to maximize the crop spray with a mixture of copper sulphate and hydrated lime, at the first sign of brown or melting spots on the foliage.
If you want to keep blighted spuds ,leave them in the ground until the frosts have killed off the blight spoors.
If there was no blight ,I used to sneak out the side potatoes as they got large enough , then re-cover the roots and let the others carry on growing as long as the plants were green.
Reply:Pull 'em now!
Reply:i recommend Alan Romans potato book, It's very informative.
Reply:i have never gathered my potatoes until after the plant starts to die,unless I just want a few fresh ones with my green beans.
Reply:Once the stems dry out, they are ready; and they will not grow any more. You should harvest them within a couple of weeks after that.
Reply:MM can I come over for dinner? I love veggies any hoot I am not sure but I think you answered your own question from the little I do know.
Reply:Check one plant, and see, how big they are. You can harvest some,now if they are not green. You can wait up until frost, and sometimes after, as long as it isn't a hard frost.
Reply:late august early september for picking maincrop ideally wait for the foliage to die back before harvesting but you can dig some now for eating as new potatoes

Translate these instructions into Spanish? (You can change some of the wording as long as it means the same)?
Carefully mince jalapeños and chop onions, then slow cook in butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add garlic and stir until onions are translucent. Turn heat off and add avocados, tomatoes, and cream. Turn heat to low and carefully bring to a simmer. Cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes. Stir often to keep liquid from scorching. Add generous amounts of salt, cracked black pepper and cilantro. Garnish with edible flower petals and cilantro leaves.
Just like the title says, you can change some of the wording to make it simpler, it doesn't have to be right on the dot. Just something easy to memorize because I have to learn it in Spanish for a school project.
Thank you so much to whomever it is that helps me.
I owe you something great!

Can someone explain please, I remember seeing an A on this site which said the fruits of the passion flower?
were edible. I have just bought one and there is a label in large letters saying that the fruits are dangerous. help please!!
Can someone explain please, I remember seeing an A on this site which said the fruits of the passion flower?
You have probably purchased a Passiflora caerulea, the Blue Passion Flower. This variety is ornamental only and the fruits MUST NOT be eaten. There are many forms of the large family Passiflora, the caerulea seen adorning gardens across our land with their tropical, mysterious flowers, which only last one day, are not of the edible type. The flowers are magnificent enough, without bearing edible fruit. There is a Biblical story or myth attached to this beauty. I think it's something to do with the disciples and the Last Supper of Jesus. Enjoy it, don't eat it.
Reply:There are poisonous varieties. I have one and I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of it. The root system has reached all the way to my foundation from the other side of the court. And it grew underneath the patio to get there. The fruits that are edible are very sour and of limited use. It doesn't much matter because once a colony of the butterflies that are associated with this plant get established they eat the leaves as fast as they grow. It's pretty unsightly most of the time.
Reply:Unless there are two types of passion flower..I can tell you of one.
PASSION FLOWER;A climbing plant of the tropical american genus Passiflora,family Passifloraceae .It bears distinctive flowerheads comprised of a saucer shaped petal base,a fringe like corona and a central stalk bearing the stamens and ovary. Some species produce edible fruit.
I hope I have been some help.
Reply:Many species of passion flower have edible fruit. Other varieties have fruit that is inedible or edible only by wildlife. Two examples of edible passion fruits are:
1) The Maypop (Passiflora incarnata) is a common southern wildflower. Its fruit is edible but not generally sought after as it is very seedy. Wildlife eats the fruit and various larval forms of butterflies also eat the leaves.
2)Passiflora edulis is the species cultivated for fruit for people to eat, mainly as juice. It's more tropical than the maypop and grows in southern Florida, the Carribean, and South Africa.
Fun facts: Substances in the Maypop are possibly useful against depression and have been used for centuries as medicinals by the native Americans. "Passion" refers to the Passion of Christ on the cross, as the entire flower has been thought of symbolically with each bit of it having a special meaning. And recently in Japan the flower has been taken up as a symbol of gay youth. And *that* is people for ya!
Reply:The fruits of Passiflora edulis are edible (the latin means edible passion flower). Many other members of the family also have edible fruit. But if I was you, I would pay attention to the label in this case.
Reply:Passion Fruit or Maypops. You probably bought an ornamental.
Reply:probably depends on the variety
if yours has a label saying not to eat, then you shouldn't eat it.
Reply:Some are definitely edible. But yours must be a variety that is not. I would heed the label!

i havent seen the whole plant give out berries in over 6 years. usually it jsut gives out flowers every year but no berries. the plant is HUGE, it grew on the fence, like vines on the fence. the leaves look like ivy xept its not becuz there is an ivy plant next to it and the leves are a differnt shape.
Are these berries edible? i want some?
how's about elderberry?...

but I do agree with the others, take some to the County Extension office to be sure..... if those are on the bush now, there's something wrong, as the birds should have picked it clean by now.....
Reply:Until you know what it is for show? Do not eat! As the other person said; take a piece to your extentsion agent or local nursury.
Reply:Can't really tell.Take a piece of it to your local county extension agent, find 'em in the phone book.
Reply:It's hard to tell from your picture - but it looks like it could be Deadly Nightshade. Definitely not something you want to eat.
Unless you can positively identify something, you should treat as if it's not edible. Take a branch with berries to your local garden center or county extension if you're really curious.
Reply:Too hard to tell. Take a picture with them further back, and even better if you can have a person in there for perspective so we can see hwo large the plant and berries are in relation to a person. Also, where are you located? Must be somewhere fairly warm if you have berries this time of year!
Reply:no. that is Hedera helix English Ivy the mature leaves are not lobed like the juvenile leaves
Reply:To paraphrase an old European mycology adage; "All berries are edible, but some only once!"
Reply:looks like hedera berries,
not typical hedera helix.....but similar hedera hibernica
no don't eat them
Reply:It looks like Vaccinum corymbosum, the american blueberry, edible fruits, not 100 percent sure due to photo quality.

Would you eat dandelions?
My yard had been overcome with dandelions so I went online and looked up how to get rid of them. Found out that they can be good for you and save from killing your yard with weed killer. Here are some tips:
Dandelions: Friend or Foe?
Everything you never knew about the lowly dandelion.
How can those pesty weeds that you work so hard to get rid of be good for anything? Think again before you consider the dandelion your garden enemy! According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, dandelions are more nutritious than broccoli or spinach, contain more cancer-fighting beta-carotene than carrots, and are a rich source of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, thiamine, riboflavin, lecithin, and dietary fiber!
All parts of the dandelion; leaves, flowers and roots are edible, each in their own season.
The young, tender leaves of dandelions can be eaten as cooked greens, used in salads, gravies or in a variety of baked dishes. Pick the tender leaves before flowers bud or else the
Would you eat dandelions?
I'd eat dandelions. I'd drink them too.
Dandelions are a tasty green when they're young %26amp; tender, just boil them lightly - they taste like beet greens or Swiss Chard.
They make great wine too. My mother used to make dandelion wine every year (gives your kids something to do too. Pay them for every basket of flowers they bring in) So, eat the greens %26amp; ferment the flowers, an all around good plant.
Reply:No, I prefer broccoli.
Reply:i know you can make wine out of them never thought about cooking and eating them
Reply:Yes. Italian families do it all over NY
Reply:I'd only eat them if i was hungry enough...
Reply:I use them from time to time. Dandelion wine is wonderful.
Here are a few links for recipes and wine making tips
Reply:Yes I knew a man at work that ate Dandelions sandwich every day well all most , Not me lol

Are these berries poisonous?
Inside my blueberry bush grows a small vine. The vine had purple flower clusters that have now turned into bright red berries. Are these berries edible. If you know the name of this flower or berry, please let me know.
Are these berries poisonous?
caution!!!!!!
From your description it sounds like DEADLY NIGHTSHADE get rid of it. It can be fatal to young children and very harmful to adults!
Do not ignore this warning.
Reply:That can describe any number of plants. To be safe, clip a section that includes several leaves, flowers, and berries and take it to a good nursery so they can identify it for you.
Reply:I you don't know what it is DON'T EAT IT !!!!
Reply:If you don't know what it is, don't eat it!
Reply:I may be wrong, but it sounds like china berries?Do not eat them! very bitter.... probably poisonous.
Reply:No i have berries that grow into flowers.
Reply:Without seeing the leaves, I could not say, but, the birds can eat them, as they are only poisonous to humans. Brigth red, fairly hard, perfectly round berries, right?
One is enough to kill you. In fact, half of one would do in a Horse!
But, the very bitter taste would make you spit it out fast! Whether that is fast enough to assure you didn't get poisoned would be a good opportunity for Yahooligans to place their bets.
Reply:Well, I make it a rule to never eat anything I can't identify; Take a cutting includung stem, leaves and berries to your local Cooperative Extension Service or County Agricultural Agent. They should be able to identify it. Also, if you live near a Universisty they make have some one on staff who is a horticulturist (plant specialist). In the meantime handle it only with gloves on.. By the way are the three fingered. Three parts to one leaf. If so, ther is an old saying that says "fingers three, turn and flee".
Reply:no they are normal blue berries... i think ^o)
