Cut top off of pepper and remove seeds. Cook and crumble one hot Italian sausage. Bring some cream cheese to room temperature. Mix sausage and cream cheese and stuff into pepper. Cut some bacon strips in half. Wrap the bacon around the Jalapeño so that it covers the top. Hold together with a toothpick and broil or grill. I tasted one and it was delicious. It was a little hot for me; but not too bad.
The spinach and chard that was planted weekend before last has not come up. The mesclun and arugula planted in the raised bed have sprouted. So have the turnips and mustard. I’m thinking I should plant some kale too. We are still getting plenty; but I expect it to bolt soon.
It has been raining in Charlotte quite a bit; but my yard seems to have an umbrella over it. I finally got some rain yesterday (8/20). It soaked the ground pretty deep. Plants seem to respond better to rain than irrigation. The tomatoes really appreciated the rain and the demonstrated that by being numerous and tasty. All but one or two plants this year are Marglobe or Celebrity. They have more flavor than the new hybrids.

The Glory of Dirt
After weeks the tiller finally came home with a new cable. It worked for about 5 minutes. Finally duct tape to the rescue and the dirt was flying. The soil was pretty dry. I did not apply the meter; because this was unplanted ground. Even where there was a cover of mulch the ground pulverized easily. If it is not too hot this afternoon, the new raised bed will be built.
A trip to Renfrow’s wonderful store yielded seeds for mesclun mix, arugula, spinach, Tokyo cross hybrid turnips, curly mustard, kale and chard. The spinach and the chard were planted Sunday morning. The late crop cucumbers are starting to run so they got a good dose of compost. Powdery mildew has raised it’s ugly head. The sulfur mix has done better than the baking soda did so this afternoon, everything gets a dose of sulfur.
The first tomato was subjected to the taste test last night. It is perfect. Nothing can beat a really good home grown tomato. This was a marglobe and had a very high acid content, rich red flesh and a nice firm texture.
Michael Swol took some of the peppers I have been giving him and made some Jalapeño poppers wrapped with bacon. Awesome!!!
