    That cat looks muscular. There must be good hunting in the area.

    when I have more than I can use or hand out, I’ll freeze them like cue balls.
    A later time, mid winter is my plan, I’ll pull them out on like a Thursday and let them thaw a bit to make sauce.
    At that point they fall right out of the skin and they’re already pretty pulpy.
    Easy to spoon out core or stem as it cooks down.
    Helps occupy a Saturday or Sunday.

    We threatened to do that, but when Miss July gears up for canning, she gets into it.
    So far we've canned
    Cherries
    Green beans
    Beets
    Spaghetti sauce
    Stewed tomatoes
    Peaches
    Oh man those tomatoes look good, Jason!

    Thanks eatonpcat . The variety of live food we can grow and can eat within minutes of being harvested can’t be bought.

    That looks like a fat slice would be SOOOOOO good between two slices of bread with a little mayo.

    Between the deer, fences that are too short and the severe drought here I'm not getting much this year for my efforts. Rhubarb dried up, blueberries turned blue and hard as a rock, all my fruit trees dropped their fruit, except for a kieffer pear - the fruit all dried up and have big cracks - like miniature grand canyons. Never seen anything like it.
    IMG_1576.JPG
    Depth of the cracks doesn't show too well in the pic.
    One possible advantage to no rain is very little tomato blight, so I have a few tomatoes. They're late ( I started late) but they're coming.
    I've been watering like crazy and anything that hasn't gotten water is dead. Even weeds.
    We got 0.20 inches of rain in July and 0.10 inches so far in August.
    Awful heat without thunderstorms. Weird Summer.

    Plants are still going strong… Pictures don’t do the size of the scorpion and ghost plants… A lot of blooms, just not a whole lot of peppers yet… hopefully that trend will turn around… But Hab is fully loaded so are the jalapeños…

    Suppose to habaneros… but I’m not sure… I always thought habanero’s were rounder… but they do have some heat…

    Maybe a Helios - a hab hybrid. Johnny's seeds has had them.They're either milder or earlier or both. Habs are a bit too hot for me so I have grown the ones with absolutely no heat, but they don't taste all that.
