They look beautiful. What are you going to do with them?

Some of them get put in sandwich bags and frozen until we want some chopped pepper but most will be dried out then crushed into a powder with a mortar and pestle. We store the powder in little jars (we keep sample jars we find during the year, clean them out and take off the labels) then use the powder in anything we want to spice up. We do this with Ghost Chiles, Habaneros and Tabasco Peppers. When I have an abundant supply and am feeling frisky I'll do something wild like throw a few peppers into a bottle of Vodka and let it sit for a few months (gives a whole new twist on a flaming shot) or pickle them with cloves of garlic and cherry tomatoes.

My next project is to try and find some Datil Pepper seeds so if anyone in Florida grows them and would like to donate or trade send me a PM

Good morning RD. Could you please put me back on the ping list please?

I didn't have a garden this summer because I thought my back finally went out for good. Turns out all the pain was from a disintegrating hip. Full replacement in 2 weeks, full rehab by the end of September. I have the garden solarizing and hopefully prepared for a Fall garden.

Hope you, spouse and the dogs have been well.
