Upstate New York Update:
It’s been a rough year; Gram fell and broke her hip, and I’ve been spending a good amount of time at the bedside while she recovers (the poor thing is coming along nicely though, so all is well). As a result, this year my garden went for months without much tending.
Was able to salvage some green peppers, some plum tomatoes that I somehow find time to core and peel and make into sauce, and a BUMPER CROP of habenero peppers (12 plants worth! holy smoke!).
Hopefully next year life won’t intrude too much and I’ll have more time to spend on the backyard.
We put in four jalapeño plants and have had “poppers” four or five times. These are cream cheese & mayo stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon. I soak the cored peppers over night in salty water to cut the heat down a bit. I cover about 20 of these in tin foil for 30 minutes and uncover for another 10.
YUM !
