    Datil Pepper growers

    Great flavor, good heat; I just like crushing them and smelling the inside of the pod. Versatile pepper. Hugely prolific. I grew 3 plants this year and had way too many peppers; gave a bunch away. With space being at a premium, I can do 1 or 2 datils, but I'll always grow it.

    I remember the 1st comic I bought off the rack was Incredible Hulk, 35 cents, like 1979. Good stuff.

    Rare Mandarin Duck In Central Park

    That's cool. I walk in CP at lunch sometimes. I'll have to look for it next time. I was there last Thursday, but only saw a bunch of colorful tourists. Most I ever saw bird-wise was a kestrel eating a sparrow.

    Yeah, throwing a red sock in the white laundry load doesn't compare to the Ford Pinto...

    Ginger

    Officially pulled it all now. Grew very well and will start freezing some and I've given away a bunch. I love ginger, so I'll have plenty of uses for it over the winter.

    What do you guys do with unripe pods?

    I sometimes pull plants and hang them upside down in the house or garage. Some plants ripen well that way, others are very stubborn.

    Synchronized ripening

    Staggered harvest can be a PITA, but I take what I can get. For example, I was getting a paprika pepper here and there during growing season, but now I'm getting 6 or more at a clip. It's the way they've always grown for me. But other peppers put out small bunches as well, so I can dry multiple...

    Ginger

    Starting to pull up ginger for fresh use. In the next few weeks, I'll start pulling it up for storage. I plan to grate a bunch - small dollops - then freeze for the winter. The ginger turned out really nicely. I've had a cold so I haven't been able to get the full flavor of it.

    Ripe peppers rotting on inside?

    I always thought it was related to too much rain/humidity; or those conditions made it easier for fungus/virus to do their work. For example, last year was much more mild and plenty wet; this year, while I've had a lot of rain, we've had heatwaves that have balanced it off. The result is I've...

    [Sep 17] What are you working on this week?

    Nuking the wax moth population in my garage. I was a bit too careless with the honey supers on my beehives, didn't freeze the frames, now I have Silence of the Lambs in my garage, with all the moths just hatching. If I open my garage door and start hearing this, I'm out:  ...
