I have been growing African daisies, Gerber daisies, sunfinity sunflowers, mums, and peonies.

Do you mind sharing your stuffed bell pepper recipe? That sounds good!

Do mums bloom until the first hard frost in the Pacific Northwest?

I once tried microwaving an egg as I ran out of cooking oil and didn't want to boil it. It was pretty gross and rubbery!

We are supposed to get rain for a week! We shall see if it actually materializes!

Beautiful work! It's so satisfying seeing preserved foods that you bottled yourself! 😍
