The forecast was to be a high of 35 degrees F today, so when I woke up, I checked the weather station on our shelf, as I always do in the morning. But I had to look at it twice. I was thinking, maybe 20 degrees. Ha ha! That 5 degrees took me by surprise! We sure would like the snow to melt so we can finish up a few projects that are yet undone, such as picking up the hoses that watered two of our gardens. We’ll see how this plays out.<\/p>\n

We now have pumpkin and squash seeds all over the house drying in trays.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Meanwhile, yesterday, our friend, Alisha, came back to visit and to help out. While we were taking out seeds from the nicest of the Big Max pumpkins (100 pounds or more) and the Atlantic Giants (a few approached 200 pounds and one was bigger!), she donned gloves and seeded out a big box of Sugar Rush Peach hot peppers. Today I’m going to seed a crate of Ozark Sweet Snack peppers then grind them both in our meat grinder and make spicy relish out of them. Waste not, want not, right? We do love our relish! Our peppers did poorly, but fortunately our friends Jesse and Lynn, who have a big high tunnel, had much better luck, sending us home with a box and crate full of peppers, plus all the seed they had saved. Thank you, guys!<\/em><\/p>\n
