Annie, I'm sorry for your loss. I have a friend who is finishing up school there and he was telling me about the accident. He shared a class with the deceased and seemed to be pretty taken back by everything. As he should be. You never know when your time is finished so you better make the most of it while you can. I hope everything goes well with the commencement this evening.

Thanks, Rom. True to all that you wrote. I would say :welcome:

, and yet given varieties you're growing, I'm reluctant to think you to be a newbie to this! We should get together and if all goes well, warm-up ye ole Catawba Valley Farmers' markets, where there is decidedly more of a market than around here for super pods. (That is if we have prolific poddage.) Be well!

Annie, that would be great. My wife has been ~~kind~~ tolerant enough for a larger endeavor with the grow this year but I'm not sure how tolerant she will be with pounds of pods filling up her freezer (I hope it is that much!). Crazy I know... Last year I really caught the bug of growing and kind of went all in this year. I have often wondered if there would be enough of an interest to sell some things at the farmers market. Good luck with your grow! Our weather is looking better and better for a great year!

Ouch on the thong-gardening!!! Same mistake has been made by me many times...finally got rid of that damn thong.

Well, dang guys: make a gal feel luuuved, whydoncha! Thank you! :pray:

As just sent message to Jason (GA G-head) and 1st msg since 1st June; had some early cukes, jals, yellow cayenne--btw is a stinger for cayenne, green--hot pickle relish, and standard cuke pickles--long story short, missed last 4 steps carrying cases of pint jars down stairs for storage, and bent foot back, then the danged canned stuff landed on that foot. 4 broken bones, a little medical "work" and a month+ later, drove myself to g-store yesterday. :dance:

Docs impressed with how well healing but I told them that running barefoot was a good thing. Crated around by friends/family . . . bro took pics of maters for me and said, "You're gonna need help." No doubt. (But he didn't offer, lol.) Green still but giant beefsteaks and heirlooms can see from window upstairs :shocked:

After g-store yesterday, pushed it and gently walked down to "super-field"--seasoning peppers in other garden with giant maters--afraid to overdo it, but from a distance they look "promising"--just good overall year so far--some really evil looking red Jonah--really evil Choc B-pore, "happy" Madballz and Scott's Funky Reapers really coming along! Been eating Y7's green for healing. "Boys and girls Friday" afraid to walk to the plants but I convinced them that just walking there wouldn't burn them. :rolleyes:

Bitter, yes but hot enough. And that yellow cayenne is :hot:

for green cayenne. I attribute healing to peppers and having run barefoot, AMA, all these years. Thank you all so much and hope to post some pics by end of week, with prayer I don't fall into a pepper bush, "mess it up" and mess up foot again, but at some point . . . anybody ever tried a L-top or I-pad with foot in a boot elevated above heart? :rofl:

Kinky . . . but . . . not even in Kama sutra nor adv. yoga. Time to go "elevate" for a while. And SHANE, this post is esp. for you! Much LOVE y'all! Annie

Dang Girl! Glad to hear you're on the mend, but sorry as #@&% you took a tumble. Sounds like somebody wanted you to slow down...

Do whatcha gotta do to get through this, we're pullin' for ya!

Pepper Ridge Farm · Jul 9, 2014

Hey Annie, Sorry to hear about you fall down the stairs hope your foot heals up very soon. We have not met before but I have enjoyed reading your posts. You did tons of garden preparations and it just not fair you can't get out there and enjoy it. Can wait for a garden update and some pics when you able. Heading up near you this weekend to take my daughter to camp in Black Mountain. Take care and get better soon.

romy6 · Jul 9, 2014

Damn girl we had good reason to be worried about you :pray:

Hey, Rick! Whatever would make ya think any Power in Universe would uh, hint at me "slowing" down? No, no: "STOP!" (Missed the caution light so got the alternative.) I did go slow in grocery store, however, which is a first for me. Looks like gonna have ton of Gochus for drying :party:

. Slowly

. Thank you, again hon! (My home PT guy is at his van so making quick.)

Hiya, Cappy! I'll enjoy the heat one way or other but thank you! Just staring at "super-field" has been painful, smh. But getting better! LOTS of great camps for kids in B. Mountain/A-ville area! She'll love it!

SweetJamie! Yeah, ya know I probably need supervision . . . and thanks for prayers! Rutroh . . . just busted by PT guy (who thinks eating really hot peppers is "insane"). Foot back up!

(More later when the Gestapo leaves.)

Nulle · Jul 9, 2014

There she is!! So glad to see you back

. But I am sorry about your broken bones.

JJJessee · Jul 9, 2014

Dayum! That's no fun.
Least you're still alive and almost well. Barefoot is good.
I've about give up on shoes except the Merrel Trail Glove.
And despite the class action,FiveFingers fixed my PF in two weeks
After a year of suffering. Buy they wouldn't fix everyfoot. Obviously.
Just take it easy. Get you some binoculars to watch the garden.

Devv · Jul 9, 2014

Sorry about the tumble, broken bones are no fun!

Please let it heal, you're about 3-4 weeks from weight bearing. Here that pot? Or are you the kettle? LOL.

Glad you're on the mend and OK

Take care hon.

Very cool that you've got lotsa Gochus podding up, but I'm really not surprised.

How many did you end up planting? I managed to get about a kilo of powder out of 10 plants, but your season is a bit longer than mine, so you might do better. Cheers!
