Thank you all for such sincere birthday wishes. It was a quiet day except for making Strawberry Grape Habanero jam for daughter. Not hot enough - thus I need to pick a few of the hot peppers that are not really overwintering, but are still living after being decimated by hail. There's only 4 still alive, but they are producing . . . . Nice to have a few of my own. Harry so generously sent many of his hot peppers at the end of the season. They were so much appreciated - more than he knows, I'm sure.
Dinner will be Chinese tonight.
This is such a great group of gardeners. Thank you all for sending thoughts, recipes, peppers, and good vibes to the forum.
