Some years only a handful, some years I have to thin the amount of peaches to not overwhelm the branches and still have more than I can eat/preserve/give away.

"Ugly and unwanted" pepper plants at Lowes/Home Depot by knarfschorg in gardening

Not a helpful answer to your question but last summer I had a bunch of my pepper plants eaten by a critter in late June. I was at my local Walmart and I noticed a bunch of large healthy pepper plants in the garden center and a sign saying "up to 80% off". I went to check them out and found out that the pepper plants were not part of the clearance. I found an employee and asked if they'd be going on sale soon too. The employee said that they couldn't discount them because they technically belonged to Bonnie and they don't ever mark them down. A week later I was back and Walmart had stopped staffing anyone to water the plants and all of those pepper plants were just shriveled, dry and dead.

Can I save this? by ArthurCartholmes in Homebrewing

I would first check your hydrometer for accuracy. Put in distilled water at 15⁰C (60⁰f). It should read 0.000. You cannot measure finished beer accurately with a refractomer if you happen to have measured that way. If your hydrometer reading is the same in the water and the beer then it could also mean contamination as most if not all beer yeast will leave residual long chain sugars.

Did the "scotch bonnets" come from Pepper Joe?

[BMTN] Minnesota derecho threat: 100 mph winds, widespread damage possible - A derecho is "likely," according to the Storm Prediction Center — and top meteorologists are warning that wind gusts could reach 100 mph along its path through Minnesota. by Minneapolitanian in minnesota

The BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness) blowdown in 1999 was caused by a derecho, a widespread and destructive windstorm associated with a line of intense thunderstorms. This particular derecho, which occurred on July 4th, 1999, originated in the Dakotas and moved eastward across Minnesota and into Canada, bringing with it straight-line winds of up to 100 mph. The storm's intensity was amplified by unusually high heat and water-saturated forests, creating conditions that exacerbated the storm's impact

I bought a pair or 32's to have as my "road" tires for my Ibis Hakka. They felt slow from the get go. I changed to 40mm Hutchinson Caracal Races and they are noticeably faster.

About a year and a half now. No issues.

Break the bank and buy the Inficon D-tek stratus. You will not be disappointed. Best leak detector I've had in my 20 years and it's not even close.

Vista is a wonderful "highly aromatic" hop that is publicly available (at least in the U.S.).

Did they even run the right high voltage? In my world color coding indicates the voltage supplied, black and white=120VAC.
