A specialty store that carries greek or italian produce-I would be surprised if the local grocery store carried it-my guess it is for stuffed grape leaves- happy cooking-D

THanks to everyone. I found a rosary vine on e-bay.It's true you can find anything there.?
Be very careful. The rosary pea is very deadly.
It grows as a common weed in Miami and every year there are stories of people who die from them.
The most common way people die is to drill holes in them to make a necklace. The dust from the drilling often kills within the day.
On the other hand children often swallow them and as long as the shell is not broken there is no harm done, as the shell is very tough and the poison is within the seed.

How do I transplant a concord grape vine?

How do I transplant a concord grape vine?
IN A WET PAPER-TOWEL.
Reply:Boy, did I screw up. This is a TERRIBLE answer, but I clicked the wrong button. Report It
Reply:Now is the perfect time of year to do this...all vegetation is getting ready to shut down for the winter.
Dig up as much of the root ball as you can physically handle. If it is an old vine, the ball will be bigger. And the more feeder roots you leave intact, the better for the plant.
Dig the new hole as deep as necessary to cover the root ball completely, and wide enough to lay out the feeder roots around the root ball.
The very best place to site a concord grape vine is in direct sunlight, with well drained soil, and a support to climb on. I have my grapes growing on the west side of my shed (only because the south side is where the doorway is).
I've also heard that mustard plants are very good natural food for the grape plant, and that vintners will plant these between their rows of grapes. When full grown they will be turned under so that their nutrients feed the growing grapes.

HOW do I kill Morning Glories the vine???
My problem with morning glory is the seed. Spitfyre is right, frost will kill them dead. However, have found that the seed remains viable (alive) for years. If that is your problem, this is how I handled it.
In the early spring, I would treat the area with a pre-emergent herbicide (it keeps seeds from germinating, brand name: Preen, although there are others), I would increase (slightly) the application strength. Reapply in the early summer.
If any seedlings emerge, pick them early and often. I literally went into the garden every other day, and just picked as many as the little buggers out as I had time to. I ran out of patients before I ran out of Morning Glory, so I would revisit the chore later. Just keep doing it.
Monitor the situation for a few years... it won't go away after one.
There is a more serious/ insidious weed called Bind Weed. It's related to morning glory, with a smaller, white flower. It is much, much, much worse. I would treat that with a chemical spray such as round up, rather than pulling or digging.
I hope that this helps
Good luck-
HOW do I kill Morning Glories the vine???
You have to pull them out at the root. And make sure to get all the vines or they will just keep coming back.
Reply:If there are no other plants nearby, you can use Roundup. It is a systemic herbicide that will kill the plant, root and all. You can use cardboard to protect other plants, and don't need to spray the entire plant. It may take more than one application, but it will work.
Reply:well, unless you live in a tropical region where it never freezes then all you have to do is pull the vines because Morning Glories are annuals. As long as you don't let them go to seed then you will get rid of the problem.
Good Luck

I picked my habanero pepper off the vine about 10 days ago and it's getting squishy. Is it still ok to eat?
It's definitely on its way out. I have found that a little softness is not bad, but if it's oozing anything, or looks runny, already-cooked or snotty when you cut it, then don't use it.

Reply:Don't do it, don't do it!!!
It is not called Mile a Minute plant for nothing. There are lots of lovely climbers you could choose.
Please choose something else.
Reply:Please do not plant Russian vine. Do you know just how fast they grow?. They get into your hedges and trees and the stems are just like wire. Our hedge cutter refused to cut our conifer hedge until we had got out the vine (planted by a neighbour). This was in Northern Ireland.
Reply:I got mine from 'Wilkinsons'.

I know they taste better, but are vine ripened fruits and veggies better for you ...?
than those that ripen "on the shelf"?
I know they taste better, but are vine ripened fruits and veggies better for you ...?
As far as fruits and veggies are concerned, the fresher the better. Vine ripened are better for you nutritionally in several ways. First, veggies begin to loose some of their nutritional content (ie vitamins and minerals) as soon as they are taken from the vine. Therefore, if they've been sitting on a shelf for a week or more, they just don't have the same nutritional content.
The second, and maybe most important way that they are better fresh is just as you mentioned: they taste better! I know, personally, that I am much more likely to get all my daily recommended servings of fruits/veggies if they taste yummy. I hate buying the tomatoes, etc. from the store that look red and ripe but taste so bland that I don't even want to eat them!
Reply:I'd say they'd probably be better fresh picked, that way all the vitamin stay inside.. the ones in can's and things like that, their all chopped up and probably lose a lot of their natural juice's.. so i'd say fresh picked is better..
guess what? still did the "alot" thing.. dang thats gonna be a hard habit to break..
