Culantro is called Shado beni in the Caribbean. It is used in curry dishes, fish, seasonings and our favorite chow... or "salsa" pineapple chow. Recipe: garlic, 3 leaves finely chopped shado beni, salt, white or black pepper and finely chopped hot pepper, diced pineapples. In some parts of my country it grows like weeds...Some people sell pineapple chow by the road side. It is a very nice treat. Thanks for the video. Have a super night.

hey there! puerto rican gardener here. Culantro is a major part of PR cuisine. I just wanted to let everyone know that culantro (what we call recao) is GREAT! And if your plant looks like his, it’s going to seed. You do not grow recao for the “spiky” leaves. You grow it for the long narrow leaves that you see along the bottom of the plant. Happy growing everyone!

I grow tomatillos in those 3ft tall round tomato cages. Once the tomatillo gets past the top, they spread out, but the stems are strong enough to not topple over even up to 5 feet. I also grow multiple plants in one cage as they don't seem to mind since they grow like weeds. Last year I had a giant, a small and a purple variety all in one cage and they produced all the way to the first frost.

I really think it's worthwhile to wait for jalapenos to get fully red and ripe. Serranos, too. They're beautiful, and the flavor is so much more rich and complex. Try letting just a couple on each plant get all the way ripe and try them yourselves. You can still pick most of them green and harvest earlier. :) If it's an open-pollinated/heirloom variety you want some to get all the way ripe to harvest healthy viable seeds, anyway.

It's really interesting because I just directly bit into one habanada pepper to see what they're like, and it tastes just like a habanero but as I cringed waiting to be decimated by the heat... none came! Freaky. But now I can get the taste but temper the heat for my less adventurous friends. Love your vids!

Well... With tomatillos I have a weird case in my garden. I have what I am sure is one (based on it's papery husked fruit and me never having had a ground cherry or anything here before.) Pop up out of compost in my poblano pot. I left it out of curiosity and it seems that that poblano must be polinating it. It's the only one and it's right next to the pepper plant in question in the same pot. Might be a cool trick for those short on space and only need/want one plant but do plan to grow tomatoes or peppers. More testing needed. Lol.
