“The backyard is a mess...”

Just got in from watering - the puppies aren’t awake yet, so I had a window of opportunity and I made the most of it! My garden is pretty messy this season, but it’s because I left a lot of volunteer Sunflowers and Calendula do their thing. It’s starting to be quite colorful!

Paul Robeson is one I tried a few years back. Very delicious. The Cherokee Purple-type I grow is ‘Chef’s Black, and I love the ‘Chef’s Orange’ in that collection, too. I need to grow Caspian Pink again - another winner. :) Even though I worked for The Seed Savers Exchange for 8 (happy!) years, I’m no purist when it comes to heirloom-types. I’m all about production and disease resistance, Baby!

I am desperately low on my V-8 Juice, but I have enough tomato and peach Salsas put up from last year to host a Happy Hour at a local bar, so there’s that! ;)

Breaking News! For my shishito peeps. Hubby was batter frying onion rings, I was at the kitchen table cleaning shishitos. I like to cut them lengthwise, clean out and store in a bag. Ready to use. Suddenly I had a gestalt - hey honey how about batter frying some of these? Batter crisp, pepper still green. Oh my goodness. We both loved them. 0-02-01-381ec7b404e2033c7764be79b0a0cc779317e1cedfbb26d7d2bfeaa211d1b03d-24b94403741f4b2a
