LOL, he might:) That is a good idea though. thanks!

spt - thanks for the find. every bit of encouragement is helpful, and this is the season to be gathering those seeds! I've got enough jalapeno seeds to plant a couple acres. Anybody want some? Carrots are a little tougher - it takes two years for a carrot plant to produce seeds. I had one stray Imperator carrot from last year that threw up flowers, and I got some seeds from it for next year. I'm going to try to set aside some of this year's Danvers half-long and Scarlet Nantes for next year to seed, but they're out in the middle of the garden, so I'll have to be careful with the tiller next spring. I planted some Delicata spaghetti squash seed saved from last year, and they produced 1/2 yellow and 1/2 green mystery squash. Apparently last year's was a hybrid. One of the hills came up with a uniformly cream-colored squash, so I'll save that one's seed for next year and see what it does. I'm having trouble catching the cole seeds (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, etc.) Anybody have a suggestion?

To this smoker, they do. Green bell peppers eventually ripen into red bell peppers, so the difference in taste, if there is one, would be too subtle for me to detect.

I did, but I didn't know that's what they were. Now I do, thanks.

I grew up next to my grandpa who was a truck farmer. He grew everthing and I was very fortunate to live next to him as I learned alot. I didn't grow a garden this year but did help my great aunt who has had a garden every year since she was a child. She has given me some winter onions which are doing great. What a gem at the young age of 93.

Yeah GG, why did you delete it? I like to hear things like that it gives me incentive. It would be interesting to Pg also:) Come on undelete it, pretty please??
