Welcome from Pasco,Washington.

I enjoy growing different kinds of peppers. With the variety of colors, it's kinda like growing colorful flowers that are actually useful. I usually start them from seed in the early part of March. This year I grew mostly sweet peppers. One of my most colorful varieties this year is Chocolate Cherry Candy Stripe Peppers. The flavor of these is very close to green peppers, maybe just a tad bit more bitter. The colors are awesome though. Next ones are called Patio Snacking Peppers. With their yellow, orange, & red colors they have a great appearance. Most of the peppers on these plants point upwards when they grow. We have been picking these off the plant and eating them as they are or maybe dipping them in some ranch dressing first. Soon I will be making Cowboy Candy with these, a sweet & spicy treat. Next up is my Cherry Pepper plants. I may have went over board when I planted these, the plants have been producing like crazy. Most of the peppers on these plants hang down when they grow. . I have been pickling some of these already. I add dill, garlic, & jalapeno. The finished product is awesome as a snack, even better in a Bloody Mary. I did say that I planted mostly sweet peppers, the next pepper is not sweet but it pairs well with sweet. My Habanero's look exceptionally angry this year. These will be used to make Habanero sauce ( Awesome on wings). Habanero Jelly (Sweet with some spice, great on anything that you would put jelly on. Also great on grilled pork). I always keep some Habanero's in the freezer to add to sweet meals like Coconut Curry Shrimp. Now I'm hungry!! Happy harvest everyone.

hey everyone! happy to be here

Pumpkin patch is in overdrive this year. Sunflowers, not so much. Wabbits worked them over pretty good.

Wait till you get to be my age... oh wait... Actually a friend's property. His blind (one of seven) that he graciously lets me use... I have no problem maintaining it and trimming for him... I'm very fortunate! But I have suggested indoor plumbing, electric, heat, small refrigerator, but for some reason those haven't materialized yet...

You guys hunt in comfort. I just hang from a tree limb.

@SylvanLakeWH nice! My buddy Matt showed up the other night for some euchre wearing his, and I had one of mine on!

Striper season is open on the Chesapeake bay.

Stocked the trout for the annual fishing derby for the ATOMIC KIDS. This is a private event sponsored by the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant for employees children. We put 1,000 12 to 20 inch trout in a 1/4 mile section of the North branch of Muddy Creek in Felton. VID_20260529_103818809~3.mp4 Fish catching pics tomorrow.
