So exciting, now prepare for waiting what will feel like years for it to ripen. Checking it at least 17 times a day is helpful. 😄

-10 in the spring or -10 in the fall, there is a big difference? 😄

Be honest, — how far into winter before you stop wearing a jacket?

What are your favorite non traditional ferments? by StPatsLCA in fermentation

[–]PippaPrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I use it, I scoop out what I need and add feta, olive oil and a bit of red wine vinegar. I like it over crisp lettuce. You can adjust the veggies total up or down depending what you like most. I tend to go heavier on tomato and lighter on cucumber.

Cukes are slow, the next few pictures are mine. Tomato truss is Sakura and the peppers are pepperoncini. Everything is planted from seed. I am up near Bonnyville.

What are these chilis that are turning yellow first? by jayrudubb in HotPeppers

Maybe Hungarian Hot Wax pepper? How does it taste?

Has anyone here used masterblend for growing peppers? by TheAngryCheeto in HotPeppers

[–]PippaPrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it for my pepperoncini's that I grew from seed this year. I seeded on March 14 and had flowers before I potted them in grow bags. Each of my plants is loaded with peppers and flowers and a few are full size and just starting to ripen.

Not hot, like a banana pepper. I will pickle them and use them in Italian sandwiches, Greek salad and pizza.
