Will got caught up on his computer work for our seed business and I planted a few more new peppers. One interesting variety came from a gentleman now living in Georgia, who grows a &#8220;wild&#8221; hot pepper he used to harvest from the Florida orange orchards. I can&#8217;t wait to see \u2026 and taste \u2026 that one. What fun!<\/p>\n<p>I know some of you are daylily fans \u2014 who wouldn&#8217;t be as this gorgeous perennial flower is extremely hardy and also edible! A reader turned me on to a website, The Daylily Auction, where you can bid on roots of some extremely beautiful flowers which would cost two or three times more elsewhere. Just thought I&#8217;d let you folks know about it too.<\/p>\n<p>My seedling peppers are growing like weeds. They already have two sets of leaves so I&#8217;ll be transplanting them next week. And I&#8217;ll be starting our first tomatoes, too. (Remember we set them out in Wall O&#8217; Waters, which allows us to plant out extra early.) I counted up and we have at least 76 varieties to plant this year; many are repeats of some of our favorites and quite a few are new ones that sound great. Time will tell! Can&#8217;t wait to get in the dirt. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And they blew and blew yesterday and the day before!
