Those meats in the OP are ground meat, for sure. But I've also had Land Animal Kababs as well: Marinate 1 - 2 pounds of pork, beef, veal, goat, lamb, camel or even chicken, cut into 1 - 2 inch pieces in olive oil, lemon juice garlic, rosemary, chopped onions - leave sit overnight in the fridge if possible, then skewer over a fire, cook till done and eat. Be careful about pork and chicken to make sure they're done all the way through, so you don't catch anything. The rest can be a bit rare and still good. Serve with rice pilaf, and a hearty beverage, including, as @Phoenikakias suggests, some burgundy wine, so fine . . .

I sometimes have that too; put some dry red wine in the mushrooms above. But I like sangria because I like sangria.

I have to make one correction. I listed a palm above as a Phoenix rupicola, when in reality it's a P. theophrasti..

If so where did you buy them and how did you sprout them?

looks very nice and healthy thanks for the picture

Calyptrocalyx hollrungii, understory New Guinea rainforest palm. Tim

The second one is Chamaedorea elegans.

I got somewhere between 1/4 '-1/3" on Friday. Saturday was hot and sunny, whereas 90% of Houston was getting rain and T-storms Last night I got what I consider significant rain. It was a steady to intense downpour for at least 2 hours. Definitely more than an inch maybe even 2". The ground soaked it up like a sponge. I only have one spot with a bit of sogginess in the yard, so it needed it. Very grateful for it and now I don't need to water for at least a week.

PRA the right way !!

Unless meal is too spicy, whereby a sangria would match perfectly, Bourgogne is the perfect beverage.

What would you have?

🙀oh, I am shocked!

@happypalms I don't think Agrifos would do it either, unless maybe the breakdown ingredients are antagonistic to boron uptake. If I recall correctly, the only thing that really prevents boron uptake is a lot of calcium. Ironically that might explain the CA problem too, since California is rich in Calcium Carbonate. It happens here in FL sometimes in late summer, since we get daily thunderstorms of sometimes 1-2 inches.

Be very careful trying to separate clumps. They are very prone to rot when cut. I've lost enough to rot that I refuse to attempt to separate them again and risk losing the whole palm. Maybe someone can provide instructions on the best way to do so. Hacking at it with a reciprocating saw makes my blood run cold.

I think my bottle was near 20yrs old when it started producing in SO CA.. It's been putting out viable seeds ever since.... Butch

A nice splash of sangria.

Still anticipating the disclosure of the beverage👀

The three each have seed on them so I will have to go back with a pair of lopers .

Two palms on eBay one an absolute cracker of palm worth every cent; the other well iam no expert but I think it needs a proper identification!

is Chamaedorea geonomiformis/tenella ?

A few from the past.

Borassodendron borneense, still growing.

This looks like kebab to me; not sausages. By coincidence I had local sausages yesterday; here in the south of Greece people add orange in the sausages! Personally, I prefer those from northern Greece which are packed with garlic and leek.
