    I have a lot of peppers right now. I'm planning to make a lot of sauce this winter. But the volume I have is dwindling. I assume this is the case for most folks here. Are there those who would want to buy fresh gourmet super hots during the winter season?

    pests Stink Bugs - A Stange Conundrum
