I've cultivated peppers in my backyard for a few seasons, favoring milder chilis. Lately, I've ventured into fermenting sauces. Here's my 2024 seed-sowing lineup:
Jalapeños
Anaheim
Poblano
Shishito
Bell peppers
Excited to experiment and create unique fermented flavors this year!
I recently learned the hard way that American blueberry from the supermarket tastes way way way worse than normal blueberry I remember eating and picking when I was a child! But I'll eat it anyway! Experimenting is fun!
