Today’s pepper harvest, from last year’s plants .. still just tiny peppers .. but tasty!
Got this spam today and it made me chuckle. Clearly, there's a human on the other side of this, and someone who might actually not be so terrible (despite the fact that they are sending out spam). You can see on the left side of the fake message from FedEx is some text that was, I assume, accidentally pasted in to the message.
Or is this all part of the scam .. ??
This year I decided to try overwintering my pepper plants .. I trimmed them way down, and they have been happily growing and budding, and now there’s tiny peppers. Like really tiny. They seem to be ripening, but remain very small. I just ate one, and it tasted fine.
Will this start producing normal sized fruit or is it forever stunted?
Got my seeds planted today! Romano and Seychelles beans on the trellis boxes and 12 different pepper and tomato varieties in the seed hot box! Way more than I need, but the neighbors seem to appreciate the extra pepper and tomato starts.

Missed the big snowfall of a week ago, but Yosemite at any time in the winter is just magical.
With help from my wife's eagle-eye for identifying faces, I think we've been able to move this photo out of the "unknown" bucket! I've always really liked this photo, and now I'm pretty sure it's my great-great-grandmother (not yet sure who the man is .. definitely not either of her husbands .. hmm)! Probably 1890-ish.
Old photos are so fun!
Does anyone know much about the Beardsley Studio in Charlotte, Michigan?
Solstice pepper harvest!
Habanada and pepperoncini still cranking away, despite the rain and cold weather.

Today’s harvest! Despite the funky weather this year, my mini backyard garden is still cranking out the food. Squash is basically done, and tomatoes are closing up shop, but the beans have a second wind (getting two decent harvests each week) and the peppers are just getting started .. will need to do some drying or pickling. So much fun!
Finally got out for some mountain biking on #MtTam! Such an amazing place to ride. Need to make time for this more often!
Pepper plants are humming along .. hoping to start harvesting in a few weeks and they should keep going for many months! Peppers are the most reliable of all my veggies, although always the slowest to produce. I'm growing 8 varieties this year. Some from saved seeds, and some new!
