What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Yes, I always trim out the seeds, which helps.
Here’s another way to ease the capsicum burn ~ stuff those chilis with a half and half mixture of cream cheese and your favorite shredded cheese. Line a grilling basket with foil, and put on the grill for awhile.

Hey! Maybe you guys know your hot peppers better than I.

Recognize these innocent looking little chocolaty colored spawns of Satan?
I did not source the seeds, or start the plants indoors ~ my friend did. And a couple of plants of this variety were mixed in with a flat of cayenne and serranos.

They look scary.View attachment 1897347View attachment 1897349 It’s amazing that jalapenos are that hard to get down there, Mitch! I would think they’d grow ok.
And only one plant often pumps out dozens until frost. At one of the Mexican owned groceries I shop at, they have bins and bins of all kinds of chilis. Cheap, too.

Here are a few more shots of stuff out of my garden:
Time to can up some dill pickles, which is the best use of cucumbers, IMO.View attachment 1897375

I harvested my second garlic patch today. Sorted, washed, and bundled for hanging to dry.View attachment 1897377

Always save the biggest bulbs, or average sized bulbs that have exceptionally big cloves, for planting stock. That way, over time, you’ll develope your own strain that averages much larger than you started with.
You only have to spend money on garlic for planting once!
I have never grown garlic this big. Some are the size of baseballs. They will get planted in about two months for next year’s crop.View attachment 1897376
The small ones get cleaned up, separated, and go straight into a bin in the kitchen. View attachment 1897384
Good for low blood pressure...
Very nice harvest. Those peppers look extremely dangerous. I have learned when a pepper is shaped as those are there is usually a lot of heat.
I love spice and heat but when it is painful to eat, just not worth it to me.
Thanks for the pepper cooking tip. I will have to try it

Friday!! Have a great weekend everyone. Sitting at home waiting for the plumber to come replace our water heater that decided it was time to give up while we were out of town last weekend… thankfully it’s a tankless system and we shut off the water when we travel. Not too big of a mess.

Have a good day everyone. Hot and sunny here, but I'm stuck on my backside fondling my Bagpipe Ebony Big 'Un and an Old Friend I have been meaning to carry for a while 👍

I appreciate hearing that, Rob. Hope it’s not too far off topic.
Nice pairing, Jack. I hope your back improves soon.

Over 100 years betwixt these two:

In other words, that’s 129 years between the the three of you!

Have a superb day, my friend.
You mentioned the incredibly large and bright full moon the other day ~ it really is something to see! The other night, I had to go check if I’d left lights on outside.
