I am inundated with peppers too this year. Had stuffed jalapeno poppers last night, ez recipe, slice in half and clean out GOOD. Mix filling. 1 pound cooked and drained sweet italian sausage or any kind of ground pork. 1 package cream cheese, 1 cup of parmesan cheese (shaker can is fine) If you mix the filling while the sausage is warm it mixes well and will keep in the fridge, it's enough filling for 2 or 3 batches depending on how many/how large the peppers are. Bake at 325 for 1/2 hour on a cookie sheet.

Still waiting for ripe tomatoes, the better boys are doing particularly well this year, one plant has 12 nice sized tomatoes on it. Cayennes are prolific too, they always do well for me. I like to dry them, which mean just take some of that super long green twist tie stuff that comes in a roll from the dollar store. Take a long piece and fold it and start putting the peppers on and twist a few times after each one. After they have dried I like to take them and put them in a small bottle of canola oil. Will eventually turn the oil pretty red and it makes a nice hot oil for searing or other cooking. Keeps in the fridge forever. Banana peppers, my favorite, are just overflowing.

Still no tomatillos, I tried paintbrush pollinating and no luck. I should just yank that plant, it's huge.

Hubby doing a bit better, he starts outpatient PT next week. I already warned him they are really going to work him, the in home PT guy has been pretty lenient. The weather here has been perfect the last 3 days, mid 70's and we're getting a good rain right now. Talked with our foster daughter in Belarus today, the one who brought me the tomato seeds. They has do much rain over a long period there that everyone's tomatoes turned black and died. Bummer!

I give away a lot of tomato plants too Johnny and I like to use water bottles for planters, cut off the top half and ram a phillips head 3X through the bottom for drain holes. Makes a good sized low cost starter pot.

I use either the 5oz paper Dixie(tm) cups, or the 18oz Solo(tm) plastic cups that I buy in bulk. I slice a few drain holes in the bottom, and they are dirt cheap. They are also standard size for the flats that I have built for them.
