If I'm understanding the question correctly, pods and the seeds within are collected when dry in the spring or summer. They are then stored until planting time in the next autumn. Sweet peas are annual plants, so you would be pulling up the plant and removing the pods anyway. Plants tend to not do well if planted out of season, so the answer would be to leave them until the planting time in your area, generally late summer or early autumn.
The skin of a sweet pea hardens as the pea seeds mature, making it difficult for animals to chew through and disperse the seeds. This hardened skin also helps protect the seeds from damage and allows them to be dormant until conditions are suitable for germination.
Corn seed germination requires temperatures at least 50 °F. Under the correct conditions, it takes 3-6 days for the sweet corn seed to germinate.
On a sweet potato slip or plant, there are two simple parts: the roots and the bud or the green part that grows above ground. The roots are obvious.
Seed dispersal for chiku, or sapodilla, occurs primarily through animals that consume the fruit. When animals eat the sweet, fibrous flesh, they often discard the seeds at different locations, facilitating germination away from the parent tree. This process helps in the propagation of the species and enhances genetic diversity. Additionally, human activities, such as planting or transporting the fruit, can also contribute to seed dispersal.
Planting sweet potatoes in a kudzu field will not effectively kill kudzu. Kudzu is a highly resilient and aggressive vine that can outcompete other plants for resources. While sweet potatoes may grow alongside kudzu, they are unlikely to eliminate it; instead, both plants may coexist, with kudzu potentially overshadowing the sweet potatoes. Effective control of kudzu typically requires targeted management strategies, such as mechanical removal or herbicide application.
After planting, camote tops (sweet potato leaves) typically take root and develop into new plants. They grow rapidly, producing vines and foliage that can spread over the ground. As the plants mature, they also begin to develop tubers underground, which are the edible sweet potatoes. Additionally, the leaves can be harvested for consumption throughout the growing season.
no, i have personally tasted sweet potatoes before they are cooked and i can assure you that they are plenty sweet. just like you! :)
No, you do not have to peel sweet potatoes before cooking them. The skin is edible and contains nutrients, but it can be removed if desired.
Yes, it is recommended to peel sweet potatoes before cooking them to remove the tough outer skin.
It is not necessary to peel sweet potatoes before roasting them. The skin of sweet potatoes is edible and can become crispy when roasted, adding texture and flavor to the dish. However, some people prefer to peel sweet potatoes before roasting for a smoother texture.
sweet.
