All I know is that when the little papery shell splits, it's time to harvest. I think they are mainly used in salsa. Maybe a search on "ground...
Happy Birthday! Your photos have given such pleasure to all of us--I hope the happiness is returned to you a hundredfold.
Happy Birthday, Jewell! You are aptly named, because you are a "gem" here on the Stew.
Cheryl, you built it (a garden) and they (wildlife) came. They just aren't very well-mannered! We got rain again this morning, so I'm canning...
Syd, I love your sense of humor! This one was slow and I got pics of it. I can't top the offered captions, but sure got a good giggle this morning...
Sharalyn, that really doesn't look so bad--you were lucky that the plants were young and will recover more quickly. If the leaf is hanging on by a...
Happy Anniversary! Wishing you many more happy years together.

Oh that lucky young man to be joining your family! Please keep us posted on the plans, the date, and details. Give my best wishes to your...
