I pack a jar (I remove the seeds s they aren't as hot) and then pour boiling white vinegar over them. Let it sit two weeks and they are ready either to use as hot sauce or eat the peppers. If using for hot sauce just add more boiling hot vinegar as needed. I did 3 jars fine dice for pizza.
I dug up a couple potatoes from under the mounds today and they are over a pound. Can they get too big? I have them drying in the sun and will store for 2 weeks before I try them. Those are the directions I found on an agriculture site.

it is early in the season and lessons i have already learned.
1. Prepare in the fall for a spring garden when you get a lot of rain it is hard to till. that way i can have spinach and lettuce early in the season.
2. start brussel sprout and broccoli seedlings inside instead paying over 3.00...
Our winters are fairly mild. If I sow them this year how much room would they need? I am thinking I could sow them amongst other plants and then next year just have the artichokes in that area? Would that work?
Do I still have time to get artichokes in this year? I tried some last year but the spot I had my garden in was not the best and all it produced was a few cukes. My family loves artichokes and I had rather grow them then buy them for 2 or 3 dollars each at the grocery store.
I have planted sunflowers throughout my garden as they are suppose to attract aphids away from other plants. It is early to tell if it is working but I thought I would give it a try.
We just had the best collards ever. I wish I had planted more. i cut them in strips and washed well. sauted some onion with bacon and cooked them down just adding a very small amount of salt.
WE are getting a lot of rain here north of you in NC. I told my husband I should have planted rice this year because it is one plant of that likes this much water. . My garden is doing okay but not great. it is supposeto be in the 90's the next few days so maybe it will dry out.
