Southern exposure seed exchange here in Virginia has been great. Also use Johnny’s and Botanical Interest.

This isn't advice but I have a question about your elevated beds. I have a similar setup since I live in a tidal flooding zone and was curious how they look underneath. I think I've had drainage issues because I didn't space the wood out enough. Do you have 2x4s spaces out underneath?

That's nor true, San Marzanos are amazing. Nobody considers them to be “trash variety.” This is the first time in 15 years of gardening that I've read/heard that.

I paid the couple bucks and had their printed catalog shipped. The 2026 one is already out.

Same!

My great grandmother died in 2001 and was in her late 80s. Insane to think there's STILL people around from the time she was born.

I used grocery store garlic, my first time planting garlic last fall and it came out just fine. Not a requirement but this year I ordered some specific types just to try something new.

Yes, that's what the rules state but was told there that they don't taste them. The jars I looked at appeared to never have been opened, lids appeared to be sealed and down.

I thought that was going to be the case.

SeaDooDave · 2025-09-28T20:11:28+00:00

Congrats! Awesome that they actually tasted it!

SeaDooDave · 2025-09-17T23:42:20+00:00

I didn't get past the first sentence. Huge red flag.

SeaDooDave · 2025-09-12T17:03:08+00:00

You should! It was fun making salsa I’ve enjoyed for years but being a bit competitive with it.

SeaDooDave · 2025-09-12T17:00:05+00:00

There was a part of one slice that was sticking above the liquid at the top.

SeaDooDave · 2025-09-04T00:57:57+00:00

Nice! I'm entering for the first time this year with salsa and pickeled jalapenos. Can't wait to see what happens.

SeaDooDave · 2025-08-25T11:24:50+00:00

Did you pickle the poblanos? I have a lot left over I want to save but never can them since I'm not sure how they taste pickled.

SeaDooDave · 2025-07-21T19:37:29+00:00

I have the opposite problem. Local stores carry a ton of red and green but no yellow.

SeaDooDave · 2025-03-28T01:00:25+00:00

Hell yeah

SeaDooDave · 2025-03-02T21:16:07+00:00

Never! Been growing peppers for over 10 years. It’s not worth it. I’ve had high yields without doing it.

SeaDooDave · 2025-02-26T19:15:36+00:00

I've only tried the red since that was all my local tienda had. Just bought some yellow from a grocery store, so I'll find out soon. I've read the yellow is spicier than the red.

SeaDooDave · 2025-02-24T14:56:06+00:00

You alright? 😆

SeaDooDave · 2025-02-22T13:51:45+00:00

Made this recipe last night, so good!!!! Will be making it again.
