   If any of you guys have a garden, now is a great time to post some pictures and maybe a few comments on what you plan to do with your harvest.

   A few peppers from mine:

   

   In that pile are; habaneros, heirloom "Hottie" habaneros, Caribbean red-hots, serranos, jalapenos, cayennes, so-called "super chilis", Incan lemon drops, Tobascos, and a couple Hungarian yellow wax.

   I have a laundry list of what I do with peppers that includes damn near everything I eat. My favorite quick snacks with them are with pimento spread, homemade queso, and minced up in cream cheese.

   I like to use dried peppers in the off season to put in soups too, but when they're dry, you really have to watch what you're doing.

   Dudley, do you have any recipes for mixed hot pepper relish(es)?

   I looked in my Ball canning book and didn't see anything really suitable, though I know I've seen one somewhere. I think it was in a book called "Putting Food By", which is a very informative book on all sorts of food preserving. (Even cellaring & smoking.)

   This is only my third year growing peppers and with money the way it is, I haven't made buying all the gear necessary for canning a priority. That leaves drying & freezing, which will have to do for now.

   I wish I had a garden. Alas, all plants I deal with die. Every. Last. One.

   I was given one tomato plant and all the tomatoes this year are very small and all the local critters have had a feast with them, so it's been a total failure this year.

   I had a garden... tomatoes, red and green peppers, cucumbers, green beans, squash, and some others.

   My 200 pound great dane decided he liked the taste of my vegetables and the dig was just perfect for his new found hobby of digging! Ever since that year I decided I couldn't keep him out so the garden was his! haha... I mean really it would have to be a 6 foot fence around my garden to keep him out!

   Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

   Sting em up on fishing line and do not let them touch until dry . They look really good .

   Very nice harvest. I am a gardening nut with 6 raised beds. I only grow a few hot peppers since I am the only one in the house who likes spicy food. I made sriracha (rooster sauce) AKA Vietnamese catsup. With thai dragon chili, and some other hot peppers last year. It is very easy. The first day I tried it it was wicked hot. A day or two in the refrigerator it mellowed out.

   I also made habanero vinegar that I thought was going to be like chemical warfare but it was awesome! The heat was present for sure but you really could taste the fruity flavors of the pepper.

   What else do you grow? I can grow veggies year round where I live. I am getting ready to plant snap peas and winter greens for the fall garden.

    Our growing season has been...crap...to say the least; rain until August really didn't allow for much to come through, but we did get strawberries (second batch is about ready to harvest), a couple of zuccinis (most died on the vine), a single pumpkin (the rest died on the vine), a few pounds of tomatos, a pound of beans, and several dead plants that just didn't take.
    We've got a few fall squash that are coming along very nicely; mostly acorn and spag.

    Oh, and a whole ton of rhubarb, garlic and horseradish. But really, thats not an accompishment, more like I'm too lazy to reclaim that part of the yard...

    Collin - me too. I have a black thumb. The kids won't even let me near plants they're trying to grow and Bootleg's stepfather comes over every now and again to plant something in the yard. I can even kill ivy.

    Never mind the funny ghost...

    Seriously though, that sounds awesome, never thought to add cheese other than marscapone to rhubarb pie, going to have to try that out.
