Just beautiful! It almost makes me want to move to NC.
But not quite.

Are those Highlander peppers hot or sweet?

Hey, I love WV, but if I were to move anywhere, it would be NC! Love the OBX and I want to buy property and retire there someday. DH was just down there for a tuna fishing trip last weekend.

mary you have to remember, if i put all my gardens together they would be about half the size of your property... when picking seeds for the garden i look for varieties that have an high yield, and that don't peter out after just one picking...

the highlanders are mild and sweet after they turn red, was a good find for the garden this year.
made rellenos last weekend had a couple left over, took the coating off, heated up some beans and rice made an Mexican omelet..that was yummm

What do you recommend for a high yield yellow squash? For some reason, I have a hard time with yellow squash. I get 2 good ones and then the rest start rotting when they are a couple inches long.
