    Habanada Nadapeno peppers - a non-spicy jalapeno. I will get to enjoy jalapeno taste even when cooking for family members who find mayo spicy ;-)

    Also the 40+ fruit trees I’ve planted last week, but I’ll have to wait 2-3 years for the first fruit from those.

        The property came with a dozen or so enormous (>6m / 20ft) apple and cherry trees planted about a century ago and all but 3 of them are barely alive, so this spring I’ve cleared some space and added:

        • 4 peach trees, 2 varietals
        • 4 apricot trees, 2 varietals
        • 2 Japanese plum trees (technically not a plum)
        • 8 cherry trees, 4 varietals
        • 3 plum trees, 2 varietals
        • 10 apple trees, 5 varietals
        • 4 pear trees, 4 varietals
        • 2 pear-shaped quince trees
        • 2 Japanese quince bushes
        • 6 currant bushes, 2 varietals

        Assuming most of them survive I’ll be set as far as fruit I can grow in my zone are concerned. Well, I could use 2-3 asian/american hybrid persimmons to have a full set, but they are very hard to find and expensive - I’d have to pay more for 2 than I’ve paid for the 40+ listed above…

      Habanadas are non spicy habeneros. The non spicy jalapenos have another name I’m forgetting.

      I grew habanadas last year and really didn’t like the flavor, which was disappointing since people really love them.

            That’s going to be very location dependent - e.g. I can’t reliably get regular habaneros even in large grocery stores where I live…
