Either, the squirrels will avoid the garden *or* they will salivate and eat everything I have sprinkled with hot pepper.

That gochugaru adds amazing flavour to kimchi!
@EllenInEdmonton LOL, so I was wandering round the same store looking (and not finding) anything labeled as gochugaru to make kimchi 🤪 (really)
@ai6yr Haha, it was labelled just fine, you just don’t know how to read 고추가루!
You can use whatever is leftover in that bag!
@EllenInEdmonton Oh, most of the bag is left, I just sprinkled a tiny little bit on a few plants to discourage the squirrel! Which means I have to go find some other cheap pepper for the squirrels, and use the good stuff there to make more kimchi, lol.
@ai6yr Perfect, you’re all set, whenever you’re ready to make kimchi. Maybe roast your coffee beans first, but it’s your call! #kimchi is a really fun food project. I make it the easy way, chopping the Napa cabbage into 1 inch chunks before brining for a few hours. Once that’s drained, it’s about a 30-minute job to mix up all the other ingredients and jar your ferment. Save the leftover brine for other #fermentation projects like jalapeños or kosher-style pickles.
