More waiting from afar. Having separation anxiety, I miss being around the patch. Dad came back today, giving it water sure makes a difference, he's been dosing it every couple of days for a couple of hours. Really the biggest change over almost a 2 week period that I've seen. Peppers have...

I have a great salsa recipe for canning. My best friend's brother passed away a few years ago, and this was his recipe. Thanks Chris, really miss you. 12 cups peeled and chopped tomatoes. 2 cups roasted and chopped red bell peppers. 4 habanero peppers roasted & chopped 1 & 1/4 cups finely...

My 8 year old son and I just spent half an hour counting blossoms on those 2 potted-together chilli pepper plants. 417.

As crazy as it might sound, I am thinking of overwintering these 2 plants. We'll see how the wife feels, but these 2 are going to be awesome I think.

I planned my garden all winter, it's about 6 hours away from where I live, so I did a ton of reading and watching YouTube videos all winter and through to this day. I planted 90 or more % of my garden from seed and used our mudroom as my greenhouse, it is about 5' x 9' with an 8' x 5' window...
