    Wish us luck, we are putting up old 10' post we took down to shade camper we sold a couple years ago to put over raised bed to string up tomatoes and put plants in raised bed. I think we should leave them in containers to acclimate or harden off but hubby is going to put them in soil now. He is usually lucky and has a green thumb so maybe they will make it.

    I bought spinach seeds last week, and will plant them in a week or so. Spinach loves cold weather.

    The long ones look like pepperoncinis. No salad is complete without one...or two.

    Interesting. I don't believe I've ever seen one or had a recipe that called for one, and I've cooked a lot of from-scratch Mexican and Asian foods using fresh and dried peppers/chilis. But the varieties of peppers across the planet is darned-near infinite.

    We were first introduced to these from a guy selling out of hid greenhouse. So we ordered some seeds several years ago. I kept them frozen till life slowed down some and as you can see from the picture I took a couple days ago the seeds worked great.
    I had never seen them either till then.
