Drumskinz Spicy Pepperoni Grow

[flower~power]

3 days ago my wife and I made these Dilly Beans...I kinda screwed up a little on the first batch of seven...each quart jar was suppose to get 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper...my old timers kicked in and I put a full teaspoon in each qt...so I definitely labeled those as hot...when I open one in a while like prolly 6 weeks from now...I'll see just how hot they are...some of the beans got a lttle large but I think they will pickle just fine View attachment 19066712

you are way ahead of the gardening curve… nice job

 

[Drumskinz]

Just like you I get overwhelmed daily just thinkin bout what I gotta get done today with stuff from the garden…plus I still have weed chores to accomplish daily as well

So there's about 20 quarts of Salsa brewing in the pot...between myself, my wife and Chunky were got it all processed yesterday...the knife wielding and food processor things that we were...gonna let it come to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes...then pour the salsa through a colander to remove most of the liquid...next cook down that liquid to get it a bit thicker...add it back in... and finally add thick Big Mama Paste tomato sauce to it to the consistency of Tostitos Salsa then process in the canner...should get around 40 pints hopefully

Not yet…was gonna after dinner last night with my neighbor but we took a nap too!!! If I stop Chunky I don’t think I could get started again… Don’t know how many more miles are left on this ole engine

Be careful the springboard might be hot
The only things in the salsa that are not from the garden is the apple cider vinegar, realsalt sea salt and cilantro

What a difference a couple weeks makes...before the remnants of Hurricane Helene arrived on our front door my plants were looking very very nice...obviously I was lured into a false sense of security...this past Sunday I again surveyed my weed plants and found that dreaded budrot had set in...I pulled 3 or 4 of my smaller plants that were in 5 gallon buckets and they are now drying...the rest I got a young whipper snapper close friend of the family to help me a couple of days this week to pretty much defoliate and remove as much rot as possible from the rest of my plants...I know once this shit starts there's only one way out and that's to get them harvested...I was hoping for at least a couple more weeks of finishing their maturity but that's not gonna happen...so this weekend I'm getting the rest of my girls inside to hang and dry and hopefully I saved a bunch of my budz...we'll see through this next month

Here's some pix of the patch as is looks today

and found that dreaded budrot had set in...I

It came out of nowhere and attacked me with ferocity I spent the time to deal with it The best that I could

 

[Drumskinz]

I tell ya the most resilient plant out there this year was GG4…beautiful colas, no PM and no bud rot…I’m still gonna bring her in with the rest but I was impressed with her health
