boom!
[Sep 18] What are you working on this week?
- Thread starter The Hot Pepper
- Start date
Going to be prepping some select plants to be brought in for the winter trying to eliminate last year's aphids fiasco. Temps are getting low 40's at night and hardly any of my peppers have changed color.
Pick and sun dry more peppers. Rain is coming today so it has to wait.
Pork and cannellini bean chili with jalapeno and Anaheims. I got the dried beans but the pork belly i saw today was too fatty. Might have to settle for country style ribs (grilled or quick smoked first) for the meat.
Temporary deck maintenance until i can fix it properly. One of the anchors attached to the house has pulled out. This is gunna suck big time drilling through about a foot of brick so i can pull it back. Ive been wanting a couple pole jacks anyway but this one irks me.

Restoring my life after HARVEY. Eye came right through my garden. What a mess. My greenhouse/cover etc all ripped up and frames partially busted. I can fix it though. Just digging out my home and compound of the uprooted trees, brush, and muck has kept me busy last few weeks. Lots to go. All 300 feet of fences down. Will wait til cooler weather to even begin that. Yeh we officially had 137MPH winds here. I got the hell out!! Went through Celia in 1970.....lesson learned !
My Venezuelan crop Jobito,& Margareteno were severely beaten, crushed, smashed, but I have nursed 6 plants back to life I hope to overwinter for next Spring go round.
Oh my, the World is so BIG at the business end of a rake, shovel, any tool...etc etc infinitum.....I trudge on !
ETA: Oh my, I may have posted in wrong thread... All it took for me was to see title "What are you working on this week.....Mods please feel free to move this...Just dropped by after being away and was eager to finally make a post....LOL TIA

Post is fine here. Best of luck!!!!
Still dealing with post Irma clean up. Probably start a Fall/Winter Glog, if I can figure out why my pics post sideways lol. Sharing seedlings with 2 of my favorite local chefs, it's an easy way to get a free meal!
Trying to get a new job, just smoked some pork loins. Losing weight, building my pepper product collection though I will still take a loss. Experimenting with rubs. Todays turned out ok but feel like it's missing something. Need a old time coffee grinder so I can get a real coarse grind on some peppercorns.
Or just click save with no changes. It will set the orientation as displayed instead of the native.
Wow i'm so glad to hear you are safe Streamer. I hope your family and friends are as well. So sorry to see you took a direct hit. Is your home ok ? Hate fencing a job for the cooler weather for sure. Glad you got the hell out of there. So many try to ride it out if its a big one. Have survived a few myself i to would have left. Better a car ride then a hearse.Streamer said:
If you would like to post more i have a thread in the lounge for all Irma and Harvey people who were caught by these horrible storms can post there condition and see how other members have faired.
Please check it out and post any further details or if you need any help. Or can help others. Again so glad you are doing better.

Thank you oldsalty, yes, home was only minor damage. We built in 1984 and took great lengths to hurricane proof as best as we could. We had already been through the 1970 Hurricane Celia (eye passed through here also) So we were lucky there. Of course, we were younger and living with parents at that thime.
There are homes in my neighborhood that were severely damaged and some gutted. We were lucky!
