I’m almost afraid to see what happens in the garden over the next week or so after all this rain? Besides mosquitoes . . I’m betting there’s going to be lots of stuff growing out there. I’m not complaining about the garden . . but I could be grumbling about the timing of kidney stones!
Veggies
There’s a bit of squash in the bottom, quite a few tomatoes, a few eggplants and lots of peppers.
Last year I dehydrated a mix of banana peppers, bell peppers and pimento peppers, then put them through the blender. I called this “sweet pepper mix”. I did the same with jalapeno, poblano, tabasco, cayenne and chili peppers and called it “hot pepper mix”.
Yesterday while talking to Chad, he said “You know what I want you to make? More of that sweet pepper mix!” He said he had used a whole lot of that so I told him I’d get right on it. I love it when I make something and he enjoys it and wants more.
I had planned to get peppers in the dehydrator today but since it sits on the porch and since it’s so damp out there today, I’ll wait til tomorrow to get that going. From the looks of the blooms on the pepper plants, and now with the rain, we’re not going to run out of peppers.

Judy, you’re such a wealth of info. Thanks you for sharing your ideas. Because of them my pantry is going to be well stocked with new items. Wishing you all of the best for a quick and easy recovery from the upcoming surgery.

I wish my garden was doing well this year. with all the rain we had earlier….i couldn’t plant for about a month. then it was cool and nothing grew once i got it planted. my jalapeno plants are about 8″ tall…no peppers yet. the banana peppers not much better….saw 1 pepper yesterday. bell peppers are producing peppers….on small plants. tomatoes are growing and i have lots of little green tomatoes….and now it is cool again. this weather is crazy. good thing we don’t depend on the garden to eat.

That basket of veggies looks so good — and colorful! I just wandered through the mosquito cloud to water my little plot. There a couple 2″ cucumbers starting, some little green tomatoes and even tho my pepper plants are not looking great, there are some peppers on them and lots of blooms. And a whole lot of weeds.
