Today i pickled some habanero's and onion with a dash of shredded lemon/lime peels and started moving my seedlings into larger pots. Tomorrow who knows? might smoke some peppers on the grill if the weather stays nice...

nice,  how long you been growing? im only in my second year so ive got a lot to learn.
