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.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...
That is sad...A little sad to find out that the newer Klein Electrician's Knives are no longer made in the US. Here's my Utica-made Klein, hanging out with my usual Proper.
