What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

I tried a small jalapeno pepper and it had ZERO heat. Didn't even have much of a jalapeno flavor.

Same here! What the heck!

The seeds are from the same packet I used last year to grow nicely hot jalapenos.

Yesterday I took some of the fencing down around the garden so I could wheel barrow the coop bedding into it. Picked a few beans and tomato's, zucchini. Everything is coming to a end here, most pumpkins are orange and I am hoping they can make it to Halloween before there rotten.

Yesterday was rough. Fever and mucus. I hope that was the breaking point for this cold. I made cucumber salad and got the mail. Slept a lot. Feel like doing more today. We stopped at a buffet on the way home from the cabin an hour from home. 5 adults and 2 small children. Every one of us got this head cold. Conclusion is a cook could not afford to miss work.

I started to think that I bought seeds for mild Jalapenos this spring, but no. They were labeled as being "Hot!".

Maybe they'll heat up some as they mature.

Hope it passes quickly and you end up with a k8ck-@ss immunity to everything else for the entire winter...

Pepper seed. I bought what I thought according to the label was multi-colored bell pepper seed, only to see 3 of the 8 plants I started were bell the rest were banana pepper plants.

Prayers for swift healing.
I haven't eaten out in a decade. I don't miss the germs

I saved the seeds from a couple of habanero peppers and some Hatch chili peppers to try out in next years garden.

I'm thinking about setting up a dedicated pepper patch for next year that's located in a full-sun location. I need to do some research to determine the ideal soil type for peppers.

I'm also considering overwintering one of my Jalapeno pepper plants as an experiment. Peppers are actually a perennial plant, so theoretically the same plant could last for years.

I have been drying my small red peppers as they turn red, but I don't think I will be able to use them with in 5 years. I ground a batch up and made Kimchi with them, it was so hot I almost died. I had to rinse it off and readjust the amount. I can use them, but only in pinches. I will stop drying them and let the birds eat them. There is a small bird where I live called mejiro that likes to eat them.

I picked tomatoes, squash and beans this morning. I pulled up the rest of the green bean bushes and gave them to the birds.

My soil has some good bacteria in it. Most of the bean roots had small nitrogen fixing nodules on them.
