We picked the 1st mustard and turnip greens of the fall season Saturday. They were so young and tender that we stir fried them instead of boiling them. They turned out a lot stronger that way; but they were absolutely delicious. By Sunday afternoon they were ready to pick again.
A social problem has developed around the Jalapeño peppers. When people see me coming with a bag of them they run. People who used to beg for them, don’t even want to see them now.
They must be “burned out” on free peppers. Solution: I bought a gallon of apple cider vinegar. We rounded up all of the old jars. (Only use the ones with coated lids so they don’t rust.) The jars were stuffed full of peppers and then filled with vinegar. In about a week they will be pepper vinegar. One jar lasts most people a year; so most of them will be given away. How long will it be before people run when they see me with a jar?
Michael Swol and I have been getting excited about raised beds and compost bins. We have a fixation on doing projects with free stuff. We will let you know what we come up with finally. We have a lot of creative ideas. Jane Lancaster has to have one too. An area was tilled and mulched this weekend and the box is being built today.
