I was having a hard time sleeping the night before last due to pain in my knees from over-doing it. (Yes, they’re better but when I push them, they react!) I’d just gotten my copy of Backwoods Home Magazine<\/em>, so I grabbed it and started reading by flashlight. I don’t usually read my own articles, but I’d finished the others and started in on the tomato article. On page 32, I saw a huge error that made me feel as though someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head. In the manuscript I sent, the sentence read “Open-pollinated tomatoes may be heirlooms or more recently bred by traditional breeding techniques.” But in the magazine, the sentence read “Open-pollinated tomatoes may be heirloom or hybrids.” Eeek! Open-pollinated varieties are about opposite of hybrids in that the open-pollinated varieties will always breed true from seed, generation to generation, where hybrids will not. I’m afraid of two things from this editorial or typo error. One is that experienced gardeners will think I know nothing<\/em>. The other is that newer gardeners will think open-pollinated, and hybrids are one in the same because “Jackie Clay said so.” Sam Duffy apologized and said a correction will be in the next issue of BHM<\/em>. Meanwhile, pass the word!<\/p>\n

This is June, last year. I can’t wait for green!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, finally, my main crop of peppers is starting to come up. I was really getting worried as I need to start my tomatoes very soon and I don’t have room where it’s warm. And, living off grid, I don’t have the option of using seed heat mats. But my little babies are starting to show up like crazy. Whew!<\/p>\n

I was so tickled when Will said our peppers were starting to come up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I plan on making way more Gaucho relish from my Sugar Rush Peach peppers, I planted extras and here they come!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
