Rosmarinus is an evergreen plant (shrub) with thin needle-like leaves that resemble pine needles. If the leaves or flowers of Rosmarinus rub with fingers, you can feel the refreshing pleasant smell of the plant. For use in cooking and cosmetic purposes, rosemary can be grown in pots and containers at home, on a balcony or on a plot. Very unpretentious and prefers poor permeable soils with any composition, open solar location and partial protection from the wind. In our regions, Rosmarinus in a pot with the onset of temperatures close to 0 ° C is recommended to be transferred to cool rooms (on a terrace or loggia), where the plant will perfectly survive the winter. Rosmarinus easily tolerates drought.

Since the mid 16th century, the Hungarians have performed culinary marvels with both hot and sweet peppers. Hungarian Hot Wax pepper seeds come from a cross between the mild banana pepper, native to Hungary, with hot chile peppers. This new variety of hot pepper came to the United States in 1932 and gained immediate popularity.

Big and juicy banana-shaped waxy peppers grow 5” long on 3’ tall plants. Ripens from pale yellow to deep golden orange and finally cherry red. Very productive even in cool weather. Great for short seasons. This pepper originated from Hungary in 1941 and is also known as Hot Banana Wax. For milder peppers with less heat, harvest early when pale green-yellow. As the pepper matures to red it gets hotter. These look like sweet Hungarian peppers and the only way to tell them apart is the heat! sandwiches.Capsicum annuum. (68 days)
