hey joe, i've since stopped growing peppers for a while. i still have a couple pepper plants but they're not producing a lot, if at all. i'm resting my garden beds from any sort of nightshade plant to start getting ready for another season of peppers in a year or two. doing crop rotation and all that.

ok, been lurking here every once in a while. haven't posted anything since i pretty much let my garden beds rest for a couple years before i get back to growing anything that's nightshade related. i just had to reply about knives.

back to getting a good knife....

i've been getting really into knives lately and i've realized like most people in my industry.... we all get japanese knives.

want a good knife? get a japanese knife.

best places to get a knife is from chefsknivestogo or japanesechefsknives

my suggestion for the cheapest and least amount of maintenance would be a tojiro DP chef's knife, i'd get the 240mm length for the smallest size i would go for, but the 270-300mm would be the best.


shuns, wusthofs, macs aren't my sort of thing. if i was gonna get anything that's not asian (i don't consider shun as an asian knife), i'd get a sabatier. they're cheap, and they're better than any german steel i've ever tried.

Sorry guys, haven't been very active as of late. Been pretty busy with just goofing around. Lol.

Weather hasn't been very condusive to gardening so i havent logged on a lot.

Got ant problems too. Teeny tiny ants that love to bore holes and suck up the sugary juices from the pods. Pepper nectar? Lol

Only lady's stockings would help against that and it would be a bitch and a half to cover up that many plants with that many pods. Lol. Hell, i might as well do it.

and another problem with that is, that also stunts the plants and we all don't want that. unless you have a longer growing season.
