Got Heat?

Today's high temperature must have come a minute after midnight when it was 56. As best as I can determine, it only reached about 53 in the late afternoon following a lot of 40's with wind gusts above 20mph!

DW turned on the furnace . . .

Super Chili's and Thai Hots . . . for the most part

Steve,
Those look great! I love the colorful bowls of homegrown veggies?
That is alot of peppers, are you going to pickle or dry any?

I will no longer be reading these posts it just makes me completely jealous that in the same state you can grow those and I can not

I have a good hot sauce recipe did I post it ..you probably do not need it if you have all those chiles you know what you are doing

' Life, strings of peppers already adorn the kitchen, which smells of peppers day and night.

HiD', you know, of course, that I live on the "dry side" of the NW. Actually, there is a lot of land that is much, much drier and hot, hot, hot in the summertime. What a place of contrasts - rainforest cedars and desert cactus.

Last year was a difficult one for peppers. The entire month of June was so wet and cold, they never caught up. Just lucky they didn't die.

In 'o9, June had about 2 weeks of Puget Sound weather . Then it warmed up nicely.

I find the tiniest peppers the easiest to grow. And, Italian Sweets are more fool-proof (& I got proof ) than bells (ding!). I don't know if that would be true elsewhere but suspect so.

Nice color. How do you plan to use/preserve them?

My dad brought me a bushel of Hungarian Wax banana peppers and I have been cutting them up all day to make Hot Pepper Mustard, which he dearly loves. My hands are burning up to my elbows, in spite of having worn gloves!! I have calculated that a bushel of peppers will make 14 gallons of mustard. I have a long day of canning ahead of me tomorrow! Anybody know how to get rid of hot pepper from your hands? I can't take my contacts out! :

It's really cold here too right now. 55 degrees. Very uncharacteristic for us this time of year. We fired up the woodstove this evening.

I know all the logic and the weather stuff but we are so divided sometimes I wonder if we are the same state even!!! LOL!!!! I make a trip over to buy peppers and smell the sage brush ... but only on the other side of mountains to the farmland around Yakima .....I am so pleased with being able to actually see evolution of chile growning come to such a high art east ...the years...seriously it has gotten so good that New Mexico may have to watch their back!!! seriously nice peppers over there...I can not help my jealousy something about the fall ..the smell of sage ..fresh roaste chiles ..I am beside myself that our many many Mexican markets are also carrying produce and pintos grown in Eastern Wa!!! ) fresh roasted chiles, warm tortillas a big pot of pintos ..snuggle into the fall ...suck your thumb twirl your hair time seed catalog research begins for me right now!
I wonder if I use a grown light on the tiny peppers and did them inside if that would work

ok I am tired ...sick and on the good cough syrup I better stop ramblling on this board before you think I am as crazy as I actually am
